Hi all,

So I got a new 2023.rav4 hybrid cruiser. It was manufactured in July 2023. The website says wireless android auto and so does the dealer but it doesn't work, still requires a cable. I played around with it for a few hours uninstalling, trying all different ways but no wireless.....I used  to have these issues in 2016, how on gods earth is this still happening with a brand new car...like is that it,  apple won?

I don't want a cable because it gets messy and I find it cuts in and out, did I get a dud infotainment system or android auto really doesn't work still?

G'day Andp.

Apparently, according to the RAV4 brochure on Toyota's website, wireless is only with Car Play and not Android Auto. Yeah. It sucks.

I have the Cruiser Hybrid 2024 and can confirm that AA wireless is not working, still needs the cable. I'm a bit disappointed because my phone won't fit anymore in the wireless charger tray.

Hi, same. I have a Feb 2024 Cruiser. AA needs the cable to operate. Car Play works wirelessly.

I've been tried 8 different units wireless Android Auto adapters, none of them are working. I'm very regret bought the RAV4 Crusier.

I purchased a RAV4 Hybrid Cruiser in August 2024 for over $60,000, but I'm disappointed with its lack of wireless Android Auto. I've tested various wireless Android Auto adapters available on Amazon, including the Motorola MA1 and Carlinkit 5.0 2air, but none work reliably.

My question to Toyota is: If you chose not to include wireless Android Auto in the infotainment system, why make it difficult for RAV4 owners to use third-party wireless adapters? Given the premium price I paid for this vehicle, I deeply regret my purchase decision.

For a an actual solution for this issue for anyone trying to find out how to get wireless android auto in their newer RAV4 - carlinkit 4.0 specifically works perfectly. 

I tried carlinkit 5.0 and the Motorolla MA1 and neither worked. But the 4.0 routes android auto through as apple carplay which the car likes more.

Why not just buy an iPhone, problem solved.

Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

OK.

 

Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
