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.
Hi,
I have just got a 2019 CHR and I am unable to assess the android auto on it both with Bluetooth and USB.

FE6*** is the Reg please can you check it’s so able. Local Toyota is demanding 100 to 200 to do this or 50 to 150 if its along service.
Hi there,
Your vehicle is eligible for Apple CarPlay retrofit and there is a cost for this additional feature. A map update may also be required in order for the system to be compatible.

Retrofit is a device on its own and will be expensive. Made a mistake purchasing this corolla,

Thanks. How much would that be approximately?
Your local Toyota Centre is best placed to confirm this. It depends whether it is done as part of your routine servicing or as a stand alone fitment.
You may also require a navigation update to allow the system to read the new software.

Hello. I have 2017 RAV4 reg YN17*** that I have just purchased. The screen on the multimedia device isn’t great (it’s as if it needs callibration as the buttons are all offset). It has a full service history with Toyota so my questions are a) is this covered under Toyota warranty (less than 10 years abd 100,000 miles) and b) can apple car play be utilised to enable Apple or Google maps from my phone instead?
Thank you
Hi Denise, thanks for getting in touch.
This is something that your local Toyota will need to take a closer look at, to establish the fault. This vehicle is not compatible with the Apple CarPlay software, so retrofit is not available.
Thanks,
Hi, Does my 70 reg C-HR (reg no. CC07***) have connection services? If not can it be installed?

Hi Colin, thanks for your comment.
Your Toyota C-HR is equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but not the full connected services package and this cannot be retrofitted.

This vehicle is not equipped with Apple CarPlay and is not compatible with retrofit. Your local Toyota Centre can look into retrofitting navigation software though.
