    Is wireless that important? Functionality and reliability are I'd suggest.

    For me yes, left arm goosed at times (ladder fall)
    So if I stretch without thinking as I do when reaching for the phone in glove box - android auto) connection, wireless would be good

    Any new Toyota owners out there know when Apple's CarPlay will be integrated.
    We had a vague 'it's coming soon' from a sales guy but no real idea of 2019 or 202 etc

    “Some people have had it installed for months now.”

    Yes I read all 8 pages.This isn’t a competition for most of us. The first post, though old, is still relevant, for people like myself, newly searching for information.

    I added information about the cost of the upgrade, to be helpful to anyone like myself searching for this. If anyone knows of a cheaper way to get the official files and do the update, that would be appreciated by most other people

    Sorry about you feeling offended and scornful.

    Is that for the service or for the update.i just paid for the service when mine was in updated it for nothing. Inquire off other dealers seems to be awful amount of con artists dealers in Dublin. I would say it straight to them why are they charging when other dealers offer it for free.

    I'm hazy on this one, but I thinks its MM16 units, which came out in 2015. These are updateable to latest software.

    I could be a mile wrong on this though and one of the guys who has had it done can correct me

    Wouldn’t mind knowing too if it goes back that far. We have a 2015 one ourselves. Is there a way to know from the info on the software if it will work?

    My car is 2017 with Sat-Nav. It used to have google street view / Speed cameras / Petrol stations and prices near me / parking spaces and prices near me / weather updates / and Aha (which basically was an App like Tunein) plus some others. It came with three years of free updates, and so last year everything stoped working except the Sat-Nav.
    I left car into Denis Mahony Kilbarrack this morning for service and asked for radio update . Was told there isnt one, and he tried to sell me a new radio that still has no Carplay.
    I know there is an update because when I try to use anything the onscreen message says log into Toyota.eu for update.
    I have logged into Toyota a few times and entered my info. The site even tells me which updates are for my radio and allows me to add them to a shopping cart, but gives me no option to pay or download.
    This is VERY BAD play form Toyota. When I paid over €42,000 in 2017 the sales guy kept banging on about the stereo been top notch.

    I think it is only the new models only MM17(software version on headunit) onwards that allow for the upgrade for the software

    Hi so the dealer got back to me today saying that they can’t upgrade to Apple car play because of the software that’s installed won’t take it? This is Toyota Ashbourne do you have any idea what’s wrong? It’s a 2019 Toyota Corolla

    Wonder does it have the software with sat navigation built in. Cause I think that one was a bit different to the one with out sat nav.The one with out sat nav was easiest to upgrade.

    Do u know what software version is in the car ? Mine without the satnav was MM17 version.

    My one seems to have sat nav built into it I’m picking it up today so you’re thinking ones with sat nav probably can’t be done? I’ll figure some way around it even if the unit needs replacing I’ll do that

    I have a 191 saloon with Sat Nav. My dealer was able to upgrade mine to Android Auto/Carplay. Not sure if my car being the saloon version makes a difference.

    I think it is just more work that is all, no it doesnt make a difference if the car is a saloon same radio and software.

    I remember reading on a Toyota forum that the MM17 head unit was made by both Panasonic and Denso and something about the android auto/carplay upgrade maybe not working with one of them. This was ages ago and can't remember all the details but your dealer should be able to advise.
