  5. Hi,
    I have just this morning collected my 2020 Rav4 and was told it had android auto by the salesman.
    I have spent 40 minutes inside the car trying to connect but I can not get it working.
    It looks like it does not have the upgrade to it, could you please check.
    My Reg No. is YR20UNU.

    Thank you
    Paul.

    1. Hi Paul,
      Thanks for your comment.
      We cannot find a vehicle with this registration on our system.
      Please let us know if this is the correct registration.
      Thanks.

      1. Yes, definitely correct, purchased from “Burrows (Toyota) Doncaster”

        On the MyT app it displays vehicle Reg No. KB20KJB

        On the V5C states YR20 UNU.

        Hope you can help

        Thanks.

      2. Hi Paul,
        Thanks for your comment.
        Can we confirm that you have tried connecting using a wired cable please?
        Thanks.

  6. Yes I have tried a couple of leads which I know work okay. I have a feeling it is not installed.

    1. Hi Paul,
      The vehicle registration you provided us suggests that your vehicle is eligible for the upgrade.
      We would recommend confirming with your Toyota Centre to see if this upgrade has taken place.
      It is worth bearing in mind that you will need to install an app for Android Auto to work, have you also done this?
      Thanks.

      1. Hi, thanks for your prompt reply, I do have the App installed on my phone as I have used it previously on other vehicles. I have removed the app and re-installed without any look.
        Think I will check with my main dealer, Thanks for your help.

  7. Hi, Would a 2019 Toyota Aygo be eligible for Car Play? I am aware Aygo’s 2020 onwards have it however mine does not.
