    1. Hi Raihan,
      Thanks for your question.
      Our system shows that your vehicle already has Apple CarPlay as standard as it is a 2021 Corolla.
      This upgrade is available exclusively for 2019 Corollas.
      We hope this helps.
      Thanks.

      Your RAV4 is not eligible for the retrofit as the multimedia system is not compatible.

      1. I contacted my local toyota showroom Peterborough they said to me the cost of software updates around 375 pound. They need to update the map as well they can’t do apple car play and android auto without this update so i need to pay like 375. Theyere is any solution for that like why i need to pay this mach amount?

      2. Hi there, thanks for getting in touch.

        There is a certain level of navigation software in order for the Apple CarPlay/Android Auto software to be retrofitted. The cost may be able to be lowered slightly if completed during one of your regular serving appointments, to minimise labour costs, but this would be something to discuss with the Toyota Centre.

        Thanks,
