What Owners Say
"We have a wireless connection to android auto, from our new samsung Galaxy S23FE 5G phones. Unfortunately, it doesn't always connect. It seems to connect wirelessly about 80 or 90% of the time. Unfortunately, it's aggravating when it doesn't connect, because we now use google-maps for most of our navigation. When it works, it's great. But when it doesn't, we are already driving down the road. it says something like - can't connect to doug phone. On the android-auto screen, I then hit Toyota / settings / bluetooth, and try to manually connect. If that doesn't work, I pull over and turn the car off and start it up again. Sometimes that works. If that doesn't work, then I pull out the USB cable, and physically connect it. that typically works. But i shouldn't need to do that. I brought it in, and they updated android-auto on my car, and tested it on their phone, and it worked, but like i told the guy, it works on mine about 85% of the time as well. Sure enough, about 3 days later, it didn't work again. they tried to fix it, but eventually said that maybe it's my phone. But i said -= the same thing happens sometimes to my wife's phone. (which is also a samsung S23). There are other problems as well, such as not always understanding our voice commands. Also the user-interface for using just radio-music is horrible. My wife now hates the infotainment system so much, she wants us to sell the car and buy a different car."
Anonymous A., FL (2023 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XLE 2.5-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"Many times I have to go through signing up over and over. The worst problem is that when I try to listen to a text, the volume of my music gets louder or continues to play which makes it extremely difficult to listen to my text. I have taken this problem on numerous occasions to the dealership. They say it is a common problem with the new system. I had a RAV4 before this one and never had this problem. Very annoying and dangerous."

Anonymous, CA (2023 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Limited 2.5-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"The JBL media system head unit had a complete failure 4 months and 2500 miles into ownership. It took multiple visits to two dealers, 60 days and a lot of complaining to Toyota Corporate to get a replacement unit. Turns out the "JBL branded" head unit is made by an OEM manufacturer and NOT JBL. Surprise!!"
Anonymous, CA (2023 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XLE 2.5-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"Infotainment system works inconsistent. 50% of the time I have to restart or or adjust the system. Very disappointing."
Anonymous A., CA (2023 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XLE 2.5-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"Come to find out, the 2023 RAV4 has Soy based insulation on the engine compartment wiring. The material is attractive for rats to chew on and destroy, causing a non-warranty $1,300 repair. Funny my 2010 RAV 4 has parked in the same space to a decade, no issues. It has it's original, intact wiring harness 14 years later."
