  2. I am just wondering, do all 2020 rav4 have android auto or not? I am a bit confused as it says all Toyota multimedia from 2020 have android auto but the upgrade is available for 2020/2019 rav4.

  3. Hello, my Corolla re GV19 KYB is compatible with the Car play update but my dealer has told me I need to update the existing map software ware to carry this out, at a cost of £160 as it still has the factory software and this should have been updated at PDi? Is this correct?

    1. Hi Dale,
      Not quite. The Multimedia System that allows Apple CarPlay / Android Auto is not available as standard, but your vehicle is compatible for the upgrade.
      The reason for the cost is because this Multimedia Upgrade takes time to complete.
      We hope this helps.
      Thank you.

      1. Not quite, I’ve been told the cars map software is too old to allow apple car play to be installed. And it’s a licence key and map USB that are required to do this software update? Before then installing Apple car play?

    1. Hi Usman,
      Unfortunately, your vehicle is not able to be upgrade to have wireless Apple CarPlay.
      You will need to continue to connect your phone via USB connection if you wish to use Apple CarPlay.

  6. Hello, I have a Toyota Hilux (EK18NNR) is there a way i can get apple car play in this vehicle? Thank you in advance.

  7. Hi
    I took my newly purchased Toyota Aygo X to a dealership today Macklin Ayr and asked if I could have an upgrade software to enable me to have Android auto.

    I was told I would need a whole new face installed at a cost of over £1000.

    The VRM is now a private plate AC60MMC.. previously it was Fl72WFM .

    Would this be correct I was told by the garage I bought it from that it would just be a software upgrade as the previous owner obviously didn’t take it as an optional extra.

    Thanks

    1. Hello Martin,
      Thanks for your comment.
      Our system shows that this Aygo X has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard.
      Have you not been able to get this to work in your vehicle?
      Thanks.
