Toyota Yaris Apple CarPlay/Android Auto – Connection Issues

Hello,

I’ve been having some trouble getting Apple CarPlay/Android Auto to work properly with my Toyota Yaris. The system sometimes doesn’t recognize my phone, o r the connection s after a few minutes of use. I’ve tried different cables, but the problem persists.

Has anyone else experienced connection issues with Apple CarPlay o r Android Auto in the Yaris? Are there any steps I should take to fix the issue, o r could it be a problem with the car’s infotainment system itself?

Appreciate any help!

Hi Sirat!
It think youre dealing with an issue related to either the cars infotainment system o r the phones connection settings. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

Check USB Cable: Even though youve tried different cables, make sure the cables are certified and compatible with both your phone and the car. Some non-certified cables can cause connectivity issues.

Update Software: Ensure that both your car’s infotainment system and your phone’s operating system iOS o r Android are up to date. Outdated software can cause compatibility issues with Apple CarPlay o r Android Auto.

Restart Your Phone and Car System: Sometimes a simple restart of both your phone and the infotainment system can fix connection issues.

Reset the Infotainment System: If the issue persists, try resetting the infotainment system to its factory settings. This can clear any software glitches that may be affecting connectivity.

Check Phone Settings: For Android Auto, ensure that the Developer Options are disabled, as this can interfere with the connection. For Apple CarPlay, ensure that it’s enabled in your phones settings.

If these steps don’t resolve the issue, it might be worth taking your car to a dealership for a more thorough inspection of the infotainment system.
