In 2017, the Toyota RAV4 offered the choice to include Apple CarPlay. This innovative technology allows users to access and utilize their phone apps directly on the car's touchscreen infotainment system. This feature is especially convenient for utilizing navigation apps, as the phone can serve as the primary map source for the car. With the increasing popularity of streaming music, Apple CarPlay also provides the ability to seamlessly use favorite music apps in the car without the need to handle the phone. It's important to note that the availability of Apple CarPlay was an optional upgrade for the SUV, meaning not all models were equipped with it. To find out if your specific vehicle includes this feature, it is recommended to verify with Toyota directly.
You can access Apple CarPlay on the 2017 RAV4 by using Toyota's Entune infotainment system.
How can we get this started? I own a 2017 GXL.
can I include it on my 2017 RAV4?
Nope, that's not the case. The Toyota Entune system in models from 2017 and 2018 doesn't work with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. However, starting with the 2019 Rav4, you can get Apple CarPlay as an option.
Apple Play is accessible for individuals ages 17 and older.
I tried to register my 2017 RAV4 on Entune, but the website wouldn't accept it even though I double-checked the VIN and all the other information.
I'm not sure if it's the RAV4 Hybrid XLE.
