Toyota is pleased to announce that owners of Corolla and RAV4 models produced since *2019 now have the possibility of an upgrade to their Toyota Touch 2 multimedia system to include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto mobile integration.
Compatible vehicles for Apple CarPlay upgrade:
- MY19 Corolla in all body styles and grades
- MY19 and MY20 RAV4 all grades excluding Icon
This multimedia upgrade allows owners to access the services included in their mobile phone on the multimedia display screen and action them through voice activation or by manually prompting through the steering wheel controls or touchscreen itself. In this way they will be able to safely enjoy applications such as Google Maps, Spotify, Amazon Music, WhatsApp and Waze without the need to directly interact with their mobile phone.
The Apple CarPlay and Android Auto upgrade for compatible vehicles will be carried out by appointment at your local Toyota centre. Toyota recommends that owners arrange to have the upgrade installed during a scheduled service.
Please contact your centre for more information and to confirm compatibility.
* Depending on vehicle and specification, Toyota has installed its enhanced multimedia system as standard equipment since the 2020 model year. This means that vehicles with this system always feature Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality.

Having bought my RAV4 Oct 19 FN69*** I am angry that I was sold a car with an obsolete system (Mirror Link) and now Toyota want me to pay for the upgrade!!
Not the sort of service I expect from Toyota
Hi Ian,
Thanks for your comment.
We are sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with your vehicle.
The upgrade involves new equipment and requires labour time to be fitted, hence the additional cost.
However, a discounted price is available if this upgrade is completed with a service.
Thanks.

Many thanks

Good morning
I’m extremely dissatisfied with the lack of updates to my 2019 Toyota CHR’s head unit; I note all the comparable vehicles from other brands have been long fitted with Android Auto and Apple Car Play. I was reassured, when I purchased the vehicle in January 2021, that it was only a matter of time before said updated would be offered and, 10 months down the line, I still note this has not been planned by Toyota.
If no plans to update the obsolete head units are rolled out, I will not consider another Toyota as my future car.
Hi Eugenio,
We are sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction.
Please provide your vehicle registration so we can look into this for you.
Thanks.
Good afternoon
