RAV4 2017 Apple Carplay Upgrade Recomendation

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to upgrade my car stereo to a big Android screen with Apple CarPlay while keeping my JBL sound system. I got a quote from a mechanic for $950, including the head unit and installation, which seems a bit steep.

Are there any more affordable options out there? I’m pretty confident in my DIY skills and happy to tackle the installation myself.

FYR, this is my current stereo.

Thanks
Maddie

Hey! I was in a similar situation and ended up getting a 9-inch head unit with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto from Gtzone, this is the link: https://gtzone.com.au/products/toyota-rav4-2013-2018-9-inch-wireless-carplay-android-auto-head-unit-navigation-bluetooth-wifi-head-unit.

It works fine with the JBL system, no issues there.

If you’re up for a DIY, you can save a few hundred bucks. From my experience, the installation was pretty straightforward—basically plug and play, no wiring job needed. Took me less time than I expected!
