The 2019 Toyota RAV4 recently announced that all vehicles manufactured in the final quarter of 2019 will come equipped with Android Auto. Owners who bought a RAV4 in 2019 will be able to get a free upgrade to Android Auto. An upcoming infotainment system update will also bring support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It's advisable to have the update done at an authorized dealership rather than attempting it yourself to prevent any complications or potentially damaging the Toyota software, which could be costly to repair if a mistake occurs.
Android Auto has not been updated yet, despite multiple trips to the dealer. The user bought a Rav4 with the expectation of having Android Auto, but it does not work even after the dealer's update. Despite enjoying the Rav4, the user is currently unhappy with Toyota.
I visited the dealership, but they seem to be unaware of any updates available for my 2019 RAV4 to install Android Auto. Can you please advise me on how to obtain it? Thank you.
All 2019 Rav4 vehicles made in the fourth quarter of 2019 will include Android Auto as a standard feature. For Rav4s manufactured before the last quarter, owners are entitled to a complimentary upgrade to enable Android Auto.
Simply purchase an iPhone and your issue will be resolved. It's more cost-effective than investing in an entirely new car.
There's a gadget available on Amazon for $100 that enables an Android phone to utilize CarPlay. This device will wirelessly connect to your phone and car as soon as you step inside.
How can I demonstrate this? I am employed by Toyota, and they are informing me that the 2019 Rav4 my fiancé recently purchased does not have the necessary update. As a result, we are in a tough spot with a 2019 Rav4 that we paid more for due to the vehicle shortage.
I'm currently in the waiting room at the Toyota service center. None of the staff here seem to be aware of the update I'm asking about; they looked at me like I was crazy. They are saying it's not even possible to do. I'm not sure where the person who mentioned this upgrade got their information from, but it seems like they might be the only one who knows about it!
Thank you for the information. Do you know when this upgrade will be accessible?
