    1. 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.

    1. Hi Gary,
      Thanks for your comment, we hope your Corolla is serving you well.
      Firstly, please provide your vehicle registration so we can confirm that your car is eligible for the upgrade.
      Furthermore, the retrofit would require you to use a wired USB connection.
      Thanks.

  4. 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.

    1. Hi Eugenio,
      We are sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction.
      Please provide your vehicle registration so we can look into this for you.
      Thanks.

      1. Hi Eugenio,
        Your C-HR is not compatible with the Apple CarPlay upgrade.
        However, depending on the 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.
        Please let us know if we can assist you further.
        Thanks.
