just bought a 2024 Rav 4. Last car I had was 25 years old. Don't have a clue what most of this stuff is. Wish you would do one on whats free and whats a subscription. Paying for cable is bad enough. I have an I phone but dont even get email on it. Your video was very helpful. Would take me years to figure this stuff out.
Use a USB-C or a Lightening cable and plug it into a port on dash that is for Data (as opposed to charging only use). Make sure in settings on your iPhone that “Car Play” is enabled. Then just plug your phone in each time you are going somewhere. It will show much of the same applications, you can choose order on each screen, etc. You may want to search for a vid showing Car Play for your vehicle and year for more info.
I'm doing just fine! I broke away from Toyota for 9 months and bought a 2022 Altima SR from my Toyota dealership in Kirksville Missouri. I just traded back to a 2017 Camry XLE V6 from a dealership in Burlington Iowa. I will continue using my Toyota dealership in Kirksville Missouri however. Kaden Anderson one of the Sales Managers I have used since 2019 when I first bought from them. I sincerely appreciate you Sir! Much respect always Brian! Mark in Iowa.
Our weather here in southeast Iowa is still warm but leaves are just beginning to change. Should be 92 degrees here today and 90 tomorrow on Sunday. Mark.
Just bought a 2024 RAV4 prime - using Android - would love a full user tutorial would be VERY helpful. I watched your new software which was helpful, but if you can show the Android the symbols are different. Love the way you do your tutorials - glad I found your UA-cam. Thank you.
Brian, i can't thank you enough for all your Highlander XSE videos. This tech video is going to be so valuable. I've watched at least three times and we haven't even received our car yet. 😊😊
Great video, very informative. You speak very clearly and the pace of your presentation was just right. I also like that the structure or "lesson plan" of your presentation was very logical, with the Toyota software and the Apple Carplay software discussed in separate sections. Thank you!
Hi Brian. After setting everything up as per your great video. Everything looked good. However every time I just park and start the car up the next day, I have to re-connect all over again. It just shows I am a guest. Even after complete reset. Any ideas?
@@mondaR-1 hello thank you for watching. Did you create an account with the Toyota app when you bought the car? Your sales person gets paid to do this with you and make sure you are connected as a user.
Excellent video abounding with GREAT, RELEVANT info for the new Toyota owner unfamiliar with this system. THANKS. I will keep note of this for additonal viewing. Agree with previous reviewer who said it would take, quite literally, YEARS to "figure all this stuff out." Thanks for shaving these years off our experience.
Nice tutorial 👌 Brian, I guess a lot of people need such this tutorial as it's so informative and supportive. As usual with your distinctive way, I give you 5 stars 🌟 for your explanation of the tutorial. Great job and appreciate your efforts 👍 Sending love for you and all the USA 🇺🇸 From Egypt 🇪🇬 Peace ✌️
Congratulations! I noticed that many salespeople at dealers are clueless. Sometimes I feel like I know more than them. Still deciding if I want Rav vs others 😫 Not an easy decision
@@agak61 I chose the RAV4 because of their multi port injection. The cost of cleaning the valves on a direct injection only vehicle every 30K is ridiculous
Thank you very much for the great tutorial. It is precise, concise and easily understood. I appreciate your work. It is definitely the light to using the software. THANKS AGAIN.
My corolla hybrid 2023 is great but the multi media was a bit overwhelming… your videos have helped me so much… I still have a few more settings to adjust but I know where to go for the answers! Thank you!😊
The multimedia system of Toyota RAV4 is confusing to hell!! Until today I still don't know how to select and change a radio channel. It takes a 007 to do that. What is wrong with simply a dial?!!!!
Fantastic tutorial video - Thank you! The thing that really bothers me most is the settings menu with all those acronyms. We have: BSM, PCS, PDA... It would be so nice if they just displayed the entire text instead of expecting us to memorize all these letter combinations!
Just got a Toyota Corolla rental. I have a 2019 Rav4 but it has the older system. I really wished I had this one because I hate having to use the Apple charging cord to connect to Car Play. That really sucks. I will enjoy this one while I can. Thanks. My phone should be easy enough to disconnect as well.
Thank you! I thought I had made a mistake because I got spoiled using Carplay and I couldn't navigate the Toyota App. Your video was extremely helpful!!
I just bought a 2024 RAV4. This tutorial has helped immensely but I don’t understand why anyone needs all of these features (except radio and navigation) on a car when they’re already on the phone.
Superb tutorial. You're really good at this and Toyota should hire you to do this for the "Toyota channel" if there is one. If not they should have you start one!
Hello Brian, we have the same name. 😅right now I'm still waiting for my 2024 Rav4 Hybrid and your video helped me to be thoroughly informed and how I would set it up once I get the car, as it was too much for me when I did the test drive at the dealer. Thank you and cheers! 😀
Very helpful video! I would have liked you to go over the wireless e key options and what they mean. I'm the type that needs explanations for everything! Tech challenged.
Ahh Thank you so much!! I have been so annoyed with my new car for the controll button on the steering wheel not connecting to Siri while in CarPlay mode! Turns out i just have to hold it in, so thank you for that 😅 Still i was wondering, do you know how i can make Siri talk louder/put the music down a bit more when she is talking? For instance when a message is being read out loud, I cant hear it over the music, i have to pause the music first… My previous car did that by it self… Hope you have a tip for that!
Great video! On Toyota app, text notifications pop up on the screen but I don’t get any sound. I get both when I am connected to carplay. Any idea on why no notification sound on Toyota app?
I bought an aftermarket screen similar to this for my Toyota tundra 2016. It works good. My problem is I can’t see it if I’m wearing my sunglasses. There are polarized so I was wondering if you can see the screen with those types of sunglasses on I can see my phone but not this aftermarket screen so when I upgrade my vehicle to something newer, I’m wanting to make sure I can see that screen with my sunglasses?
Thank you for this excellent video. However, at 12:40, what did you mean by "turning the key forward just one more click"? There is no key and there is nothing to turn. What did you do?
Ah thank you for listening so closely. That was a Freudian slip. I meant to say “push the button one more time without starting the vehicle” (equivalent to turning the key one more click to accessory mode) to enable the settings menus to unlock to be adjusted without having to actually start the vehicle. In my brain, key turning and button pushing have become one.
If you change the display to not be automatic its still goes in to night mode when in a tunnel or when it gets dark. Can you test it and see if it works for you?
If you turn off Automatic, it gives you the choice of keeping the display in either Daytime (glaring white background) or Nighttime (dark background) all the time. The Nighttime is much easier on the eyes and looks much better, too, since it blends well with the interior design.
Brian, great tutorial. I have a 2024 Corolla Cross XLE. I can't get the A/C vents for the rear that are located at the bottom of the arm rest to blow. I had a back seat passenger and could not get it to work?
Hi we just got a new 2024 Toyota Rav 4 ltd hybrid , and just a plain android cell phone with no data , is there anyway it can be connected to the car and show a better screen and maps , Thanks great work
Just picked up 2024 Venza and came across your video. Appreciate all the information and useful tips. Under "setting" - "general", there's Format for mm/dd/yyyy. It allows you change display format but does it ever show the date ? And where is it displayed?
We bought a 2023 Corolla Cross Hybrid this summer after having a Subaru for 18 years. The learning curve is steep. We still haven’t figured everything out. Keep reading the manuals and watch a few videos. The dealer’s service department is a bit helpful too.
Super helpful, thank you, I wish there was a way to remove the Toyota subscription Splash screen when you start up your vehicle. BTW, turning off your display will automatically shut down some safety features (LTS)… strange.
@@brianrupertiI’m seconding this, how do you display the radio and google maps together? People don’t always use apps on their phone to listen to music. This system makes no sense
Hi Brian. Sure enjoy your videos. Amazing info. I have a 2023 Highlander. Got a new phone and now i can't get sirius display when navigation is on. It's like reuters, fox, etc... ideas? Thanks so much.
Hey thanks! I would consider making sure the phone is up to date with software, and restart it. If Sirius radio still won’t display, id reach out to Sirius and see if they cancelled your subscription or if your free trial of the radio has ended.
Hey Brian, Thanks for the tutorial. I have a question. When using the Sirius XM, it automatically defaults to ESPN when shutting off and then turning the car back on my 2025 Camry SE instead of remembering my favorite radio station. Can I and if so change or remove the unwanted stations?
Hi Terry, you’re welcome! Yes tap ESPN and you’ll see a little heart symbol that’s either red, or fully shaded in, Tap the heart symbol to make it hallow and ESPN should go away. You’ve then officially “un-favorited” that channel.
Thank you for this much detail. I still listen to the radio at times. Do we need to have WiFi now to listen to radio? The “you’re not connected to WiFi “ popped up when looking for the radio. Thank you!
Great video, thanks! Is there anyway to stop the annoying pop up windows, at night the bright white and blue messages are extremely blinding, even when setings are set to night light.
Very useful information and we appreciate it. How do I keep my Android auto running but not wanting to run Sirius XM through my phone? I already pay for satellite Sirius XM therefore don't want to pay for data, especially when there are so many dead cell spots that are drive through. Do I have to remove the app from my phone which I use when I'm out gardening or even showering??
Thank you for this video. My Home Screen on the video recently changed and I can’t change it back. Google maps has somehow taken over and I can’t get it back to looking like my iPhone. Thanks for any help!
I have a 2023 Corolla SE with an almost identical head unit. Do you know how to go back to the main menu options once in Apple Car Play? Once the radio is in that setting, I am unable to switch over to the factory navigation etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated! 🙏🏼
Yes tap the bottom left of the screen and find the Toyota app, or if your car shows dual tool bars, the light grey tool bar, if not there are two arrows on the top left that expand the Toyota tool bar. I hope this helps.
Bought a 2024 Hybrid RAV4 and really like the car. CarPlay is a disaster waiting to occur. To make CarPlay work you need to take your eye off the road to locate an area on the screen and press it. If things don’t change I’ll be looking for a non-CarPlay replacement soon.
So can you just tap the voice button on your steering wheel and tell Toyota to turn on your favorite list of FM radio? Or do you have to go in there and select music and all that?
Can the full screen be changed to a different color or theme ? I saw the colored boxes in the camera setting, so just wondering as Hondas give tbe optiion for themed color display
just bought a 2024 Rav 4. Last car I had was 25 years old. Don't have a clue what most of this stuff is. Wish you would do one on whats free and whats a subscription. Paying for cable is bad enough. I have an I phone but dont even get email on it. Your video was very helpful. Would take me years to figure this stuff out.
I hear you. I’m 80. I can still drive at least. My daughter just gave me a lesson on using Apple Car Play.
Use a USB-C or a Lightening cable and plug it into a port on dash that is for Data (as opposed to charging only use). Make sure in settings on your iPhone that “Car Play” is enabled. Then just plug your phone in each time you are going somewhere. It will show much of the same applications, you can choose order on each screen, etc. You may want to search for a vid showing Car Play for your vehicle and year for more info.

1. How to get to the default radio options
2. Can you set up a 2nd phone
For default radio what exactly do you mean? And setting up second phone is the same process you did when you got the car to set up Bluetooth.
