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.

Hello! I have been told that my car is available the for Apple car play update, but my Nav software needs to be updated before this can be carried out, at a cost of over £250!! I’ve also been told that my Nav software version hasn’t been updated since factory and it should have been updated at dealer, pre sale? Is this right?
Thanks
Hi Dale, thanks for getting in touch.
Yes, that is correct. A certain version of the navigation software is required in order for te Apple CarPlay retrofit to be compatible. We publish two map updates per year and these are an option paid extra.
Thanks,
Toyota UK
