2018 Toyota Camry Apple Carplay Download

admin

May 06, 2019  I have a service appointment at my local Toyota dealership this week to add Apple CarPlay to my 2018 Toyota Camry XLE. This is really exciting news for. Jan 28, 2018  Carplay only works with iPhone which the 2018 can get via an update and the 2019 has it prebuilt. Android Auto only works with Android phones and the camry doesn't have it.

2018 Toyota Camry or Sienna owners who use Apple iPhones can finally put away the aftermarket phone mounts, because Apple CarPlay and Amazon Alexa are finally coming to the midsize sedan and minivan, according to a statement released by the automaker. Unfortunately, however, it won't be coming through any sort of Tesla-style over-the-air update. Rather, CarPlay and Alexa must be retroactively installed by a technician at a Toyota dealer.

Some models may support CarPlay only in certain configurations, and not all models are available in all areas. CarPlay support is subject to change.

The first Toyota to get Apple's in-car integration was the 2019 Avalon. Since then, CarPlay has made its way to 'many' 2019 'Yotas and 'most' of Toyota's 2020 models.

'We are always striving to bring highly desirable services to our vehicles,' said Toyota Connected Tech vice president Steve Basra. Of all the cars Toyota makes, the choice of the Camry and Sienna to get the upgrade isn't exactly a surprising one. 'This new program enables CarPlay and Amazon Alexa on some of our most popular vehicles already on the road.' What, did you think they'd spend the time and money retrofitting CarPlay to the low-volume 86? 'It's a great opportunity to surprise and delight our existing customers,' Basra adds.

Surprised and delighted they'll probably be considering 8 out of 10 Americans apparently see Apple CarPlay as something they'd like in their next car with 23 percent straight-up marking it down as a 'must-have.'

Toyota says 2018 Camry and Sienna owners will be notified of the available update soon and will be encouraged to bring their cars to a dealership. The company announcement made no mention of price or how long the service would take but a Toyota spokesperson apparently told Car and Driver that there may be a 'small service charge.'

What CarPlay does

CarPlay takes the things that you want to do with your iPhone while driving and puts them on your car's built-in display. When you connect your iPhone to CarPlay, you can get turn-by-turn directions, make calls, send and receive messages, listen to music, and more. CarPlay uses the contacts on your iPhone to help you make calls, send texts, and find destinations.

CarPlay uses Siri Voice Control, so you can ask for what you want while you're driving — allowing you to stay focused on the road. CarPlay even works with the built-in controls in your car — like a touchscreen, knob, or button.

Set up CarPlay

Follow these steps to get started:

  1. Make sure that you're in an area that supports CarPlay and that your car supports CarPlay.
  2. Start your car, then make sure that Siri is on.
  3. Connect your iPhone to your car:
    • If your car supports CarPlay via USB cable, plug your iPhone into the USB port in your car. The USB port might be labeled with a CarPlay icon or a smartphone icon.
    • If your car supports wireless CarPlay, press and hold the voice-command button on your steering wheel. Make sure that your stereo is in wireless or Bluetooth mode. Then on your iPhone, go to Settings > General > CarPlay, tap Available cars, then select your car. Check your car manual for more information.

Use Siri with CarPlay

If your vehicle supports CarPlay or Siri Eyes Free, hold down the voice-command button on your steering wheel while you say what you need. If you aren't sure where the voice-command button is, check the manual for your car or stereo.

Remove and arrange CarPlay apps

While using CarPlay, the display in your car will show available apps. To add, remove, or customize the order that the apps are in on your iOS device:
