Toyota Ireland - Apple CarPlay

Just for future Reference incase anyone else comes looking

''May we at the outset thank you for your support of Toyota and for taking the time to contact us directly.

Having had the opportunity to liaise with our Product Department, we understand that in respect of the retro-fitment of Carplay/Android Auto to existing vehicles, our colleagues in Toyota Motor Europe are currently working on a software solution to facilitate retro-fitment for certain head units, however at present we do not have any further information or timelines on this. We would respectfully suggest that you register your interest with your retailing Toyota dealer who will notify you as soon as the software update is available.


Thank you for contacting Toyota Ireland.''

Was booking my 191 Corolla Hybrid in for service today and I asked the dealer service guy about this. He said they had been promised retro fitting would be available from July but he was not sure if that timeline has slipped. He said some of the 201 Corollas went out without Apple Car Play even though they were meant to have it.

Did you find out anything else about the retro upgrade( since the service) ??

Folks, FYI the retrofit update files for AC/AA have been uploaded by Toyota this week, there is a mass of activity over on the Italian and Spanish forums with reports of successfull updates for corolla and rav4 owners. Seems it is an easy update if you have no nav but more complicated if you do, 3x separate USB keys are needed with one needing to be a 32gb.

Summarizing to make the RETROFIT of our Toyota:

USB1 : http://streamtechdoc.toyota-motor-europe.com/techdoc3/retrofit/Harman_Intervention_Script.zip
USB2 : http://streamtechdoc.toyota-motor-europe.com/techdoc3/retrofit/Full_upgrade_package_Harman_Panasonic_17MM.zip
USB3 : http://streamtechdoc.toyota-motor-europe.com/techdoc3/retrofit/Full_upgrade_package_DTEN.zip


Car WITHOUT Nav : It is only necessary to use USB3. Download the files to a USB formatted with FAT32. Plug in the car, wait and go.

Car WITH Nav: It takes three steps. Download the files in the three USBs, plug in and update (it starts with USB1, then USB2, to end with USB3)

It is possible that in some case (for example in USB2) that the update has to be launched from "SETUP -> Software Update "because it does not start it automatically. The USB3 seems to take time to update and reboots several times. You have to reboot between each USB.

It is important to follow the steps. For example, after inserting the USB1, do not remove it until it is expressly stated on the screen. If it asks you to restart, you do it with the USB inserted.

it seems if u have sat nav you need another step or something reading from the spanish forum 'trikerman' man one

I don't have sat nav so looks like usb3 only for me. I have a contact in Denis Mahony so gonna ask him if he's heard anything. Will update.

just for reference our units without the sat nav are the 17tdt1eu-da02 version

It might void your warranty as well if you go near it and screw it up.
