Hello, I like the vid, thanks. -- I was hoping to learn how to get into Android Auto ... I can't figure it out ... at about 12:30 you click on the button in the upper left and that takes you to Android Auto - - but not for me, it just goes to the default Toyota map ...
Ok, later I figured it out - - I had to go to devices & bluetooth and go into my device and say "use for Android Auto."
When I click radio, the only two choices to come up our local broadcasters and international broadcasters. No AM/FM, etc. Can you help me get what you showed?
Hello there!
What did you plug in for the apple car play to show?
Have RAV4 2024 LE (base).How to switch Android Auto screen to Toyota menu lookin like left vertical bar?
How put the carplay in the sreen?I dont have iPhone.
I undid my whole thing by accident on my infotainment system in my 2023 Rav4 and can't seem to get my Google navigation etc back on my infotainment system 😢 I need help please
Is it normal for the pass air bag off yellow light to stay on?
Will the USB music option show album art?
When I start the car 2023 Hybrid XLE with convenience and weather packages - it turns on CarPlay and I cannot get to the radio (or the screen at the start of your tutorial). I use the speak button on the left side of the steering wheel, to ask for the radio and it keeps telling me that I don't have an app for that - any suggestions? Thank you.
Did you ever figure it out? I connected to my Libby app and now can’t find the radio back
I recently bought the 2023 RAV4 LE (gas only) model and I think that the screen for audio SOURCE looks different. Is this correct? I can’t find a way to plug in a thumb drive (the usb connection below the screen) and select it as source to play the music in it. Is this even possible?
Yes it's different the LE has a different one.
Hey Charlie,
I'm having issues wireless android auto connection .
I have to reconnect manually after every start up.
It was fine for a few days.
Do you have any suggestions on a solutions to help?
Thanks
Toyota has scanned the buyers of the RAV4, there will soon be a class action lawsuit about the quality of the media system, so sit tight
My subscription ran out. How do I get Google maps back on my screen
why i cant adjust my volume while am in adroid auto ?
Thanks Charlie! How can I watch on my RAV4 2023 movies or games from my cell phone?
Im in the minority here when I say this but I much prefer the older rav4 Entune 3 infotainment system. It has more physical shortcut buttons, a Home Screen, volume tune knob, built in navigation and still has CarPlay and android auto
That system really just needs more colors and themes
Not a fan how most functions in the new system are cloud based and behind subscription, it’s a total scam.
@@BigAltimaEnergy719 agreed. Their older system was so much better
@@naveenthemachine A Simpler and functional system over looks. Even Honda doesn’t go too far with its system yet offers more
I agree this new system is a complete JOKE!.
@@tomasso883 they could have just left the older system as is and just added wireless CarPlay and more color themes. That would have literally solved everything and it would have been so much cheaper for them to do that
They heed to up the processing power on this infotainment system. Give it an ARM chip that rivals say mid to high-end smartphones
Hey there, thanks for your amazing work. I just bought the 2024 Rav4 XLE hybrid and I need to change the outside temperature display unit from Fahrenheit to Celsius, would you kindly advise me how to do that? Appreciate your input
I'm sorry I glazed over it and also sorry I missed your comment. You probably already figured this out, but it's under Settings>General>Language&Units ruclips.net/video/bSCfd_82rY8/видео.htmlsi=1KeQJv2TuPqy85BG&t=395
@@DailyMotor thanks for your reply 😊
I couldn’t find it unfortunately, when I go to settings, language and units, I only get an option to switch between Mph & Kph 😔 there is no option for switching between F & C. Could that be because I have the XLE trim? Could it be available on higher trims? Does the infotainment system need to be updated/upgraded?
Thanks again
Hmmm, shoot. It's possible it's a setting found in the information screen in the gauge cluster, have you tried that?@@user-od7tj4kx5y
@@DailyMotor I sure did & it was not there either 😭😭
Kindly, let me know if you by any chance figured this out. Appreciate it
How do you get the MAPS to work? I have a 2023 SE. It is telling me there is a charge for a subscription.
Yes, the lower trims don’t come with navigation unfortunately. You’d have to pay for the subscription. Or connect a device via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
By the way, can anyone tell me how to get rid of Siriux?
Where's the cd player?
Just bought a 2023 rav4 the radio plays louder when driving down rd then it lowers down even when we are sitting at red light the volume just gets louder then goes back down , can u help us? Thanks
That's an auto volume setting, it is intended to make the music louder when you're driving to compensate for road, wind, and engine noise. If you want to disable it, turn off Auto sound levelizer in the Sound & Media screen. ruclips.net/video/bSCfd_82rY8/видео.htmlsi=ZVqUMycpntml_TGv&t=467
Did you have to biuy a subscription to use navigation? I cant seem to use the navigation system. And android auto does not connect google maps to the screen. Any tips?
Hmmmmmmmm. The more base models might not have Nav built in, but you should still be able to use google maps through Android Auto.
Yes you do I just discovered this and really pissed off..There is a way to get Google maps on your screen..I'm trying to figure it out. The subscription is 20$ a month. Screw that..
I cannot adjust media volume when connected with android auto. It says volume paused
Try selecting a new song from Android Auto and/or pressing in on the volume knob.
Hi Charlie
How do you set up and connect wireless android auto?
Thanks
Good question, I should probably include that in future reviews. You will need to pair the device via bluetooth, and after the device is connected, it should prompt you to use wireless Android Auto. Unfortunately I will not be able to step you through pairing via bluetooth over comments.
@DailyMotor once you prompt it and decide to occasionally use cord to keep it charged will it override wireless
If that makes sense.
I bought the 2023 XSE Rav 4 hybrid with the 10 in screen. If you are a short person I would re-think buying it. I'm 5'2 and the big a***screen impedes my view, and that is with the driver's seat as high as it will go. I don't know what I'm going to do now. I love everything else, they should have placed the infotainment system into the dash, or perhaps they should have made a way to lower it/adjust it. It's just too high and gets on my nerves. Makes me want to return the car just because of this, I think it's too late though now.
Oh damn I'm 4'10 and been looking at these. Maybe not now 😂
I hate the screen you’re right it should’ve been in the dash
Is it normal for the pass air bag off yellow light to stay on?
@@feng9471 I have no idea, there is so much technology you have to contend with and it's really distracting and confusing.
My coworker recently purchased a 2023 rav 4 xle premium. She is only and has apple car play activated. It confuses her. So i checked her vehicle to see if she has built in nav through toyota. She does. Same vehicle as this video. I showed her how to use it, but does she need to pay a monhly subscription for the toyota navigation system? She says she is on a trial period since she just bought the car. She wants to deactivate apple car play, should she do so? Is it worth it to use toyotas system instead?
From what I understand, she will not have to pay a monthly subscription to get basic navigation services, even after the trial period. It's a decent nav system, and if she doesn't like CarPlay, it's worth a shot. But it also could be worth her getting acclimated with Apple CarPlay. Maybe I'll do an in-depth how-to video on CarPlay soon.
It sucked on the one I rented. I liked it, but had constant connections issues for Android auto.
It's a pain. Every time I turn it on it asks for my password
Does the car have its own navigation maps? Or do you need to plug in your phone?
Upper trims have dedicated nav
If you have a black RAV4 please name it Raven. That’s so perfect
Good idea, purchased a black one last week
Hi! I have a samsung galaxy s23 and a 2023 rav4 but I can't connect wirelessly. Can I please ask how you did it? Ty!
Have you tried going into connected devices in the RAV4 settings and enabling Android Auto after pairing your phone via Bluetooth?
@@DailyMotor When I click "Use for Android Auto" nothing happens :(
Hi, Does the phone need to be connected at all times to use android auto? Cheers
Yup, every time you need to do it manually. Stupid, stupid, stupid. I hate this car 😞
Does the car have built in gps which doesn't require phone to get the map ?
Yup! On certain trims/packages.
I have a 2023 Rav4 LE. The infotainment system is incredibly uncomfortable and poorly functional. I hope they will issue a good upgrade or I will be replacing it by an aftermarket one.
I had an old 2004 Rav4 and installed an aftermarket screen that worked great.
By the way, can anyone tell me how to get rid of Siriux?
Native maps seems choppy but Apple Maps looks pretty smooth
I prefer the native maps on the entune 3 with dynamic navigation. The lane guidance display on the nav is quite nice and it even shows the same road sign as if you’d see it on the highway
I have a 2023 RAV4 hybrid... and when I try to use my cell phone(Bluetooth) through my infotainment system, the volume is so low whether I use Spotify or RUclips. Basically my question is how do I turn up the volume when using Bluetooth???
Have you turned the volume up on your phone? It should be at about 90% on your phone before adjusting the car's volume knob.
@DailyMotor I have it turned up all the way on my cell phone. But my infotainment does not/ can not turn the volume up or down. When I had my 2012 Ford Escape, no infotainment, but yes, Bluetooth, I was able to blast the volume.
@@mojostrikesback Hmmm that's really strange. Might need to see a dealer about that.
I bought a RAV4 hybrid a month ago and it has problems with the connectivity with the iPhone, especially with the maps, the Toyota agency in Mexico tells me that it is the 4th truck that they take with this problem, something is happening with the CarPlay
@@pepemayo7353 It's not just CarPlay. It happens with android too. I have this issue and from what I've seen many others do as well. From what I have learned so far I believe it's a bad android auto app but I haven't found a way to reinstall the app. Mine is going in to the dealer next week for them to figure it out. From what the tech has sad so far they will probably just replace the infotainment head.
Are you doing all this while the engine is on? I can't do anything with the screen unless the engine is on. How do I leave my car on without the engine running?
I think you have to press the start button twice without pressing the gas.
I am confused, did you mention that most of this is a subscription that the owner must pay for monthly,? which stinks after paying for the car itself.
How the f… you get rid of the Terms of Use blue screen? It appears every time I start the car and I accepted all Terms and Conditions everywhere. Also android auto has to start manually every time. Don’t let me start about application. I hate everything about this car. Some days I just take my VW diesel to cool my nerves.
Bro, this car is lit, hope god will provide
Can you change digital cluster gauge display?
Not on this one.
@DailyMotor ok thanks.
Nice tutorial BTW.
Is there update happening soon.
When I remote start with fob or app...when open the door it shuts down.
How I can turn off the screen while driving.?
Settings Icon > Display > turn off Display slider. Then you can tap the screen to turn it back on. Or press the Home button.
Question: Is it possible to fold away or hide the infotainment screen?
I don't like how they stick up above the dashboard like that. I want a rav4 but i can't stand the infotainment screen on new cars and how it sticks above the dash board
Nope
My home town
Audio quality is horrible in that infotainment for the 2024 RAV4 XLE hybrid.
That vehicle looks like a BMW X5 Style
I don't like this Infotainment system at all. I'll admit the last car I bought was in 2004 and car electronics have changed dramatically. But my 2024 RAV4 navigation screen is quite a bit different than what is shown in this tutorial. To get anywhere useful from the navigation screen, you have to know to tap the inocuous button in the lower left of the screen, which takes you to another screen with a bunch of icons. Then you have to know to tap the "Toyota" icon which FINALLY gets you a screen where you can change audio input devices, and get into vehicle settings to change the display auto dimming and stuff like that. I found this info NO WHERE in the manual. Rant over...
WORST SYSTEM EVER! NEEDS TOTAL REDESIGN, add features, split screen etc...JUST THE WORST__ITS A JOKE compared to other manufacturers I have a 2023 Venza limited with this horrible navigation system.
So what gives Toyota the divine right to decide when & where I can access the keyboard??
VW don't impose such stupid restrictions on their info system.
This is a BIG enough reason for me to NEVER BUY A TOYOTA EVER...
It's terrible. Looks like something Hyundai did 7 years ago
Toyota has made one of the worst systems honestly
Apparently the UI of the hyundai system is very outdated and map as well… The UI on the new toyota system is much better imo, plus it has OTA software update(although its not even close to the frequency of update like Tesla or any of the smart phone) but i bet toyota new system is one of the first to offer such feature(Hyundai kia or any other asia based car manufacturer does not have such feature yet)
But regardless, unless legacy manufacturers can catch up or get close to the level of the tesla infotainment system, most people r just going to stay and keep using android auto and or apple carplay.
@@jasoncheung7654 the UI from the Hyundai system is brand new and better than anything out there
Really horrible. Sound quality horrible as well.
It’s stupid 8 inch di!k display….. I think they got enough money from customers but see the display look like 1990 SEIKO analog rest watch ! How funny
This user interface is terrible and the processor obviously sucks. They obviously cut corners and still charge so much .
