Hi, do you know if the 2023 Corolla SE has wireless Android Auto? On the Toyota site its kind of confusing because it says Wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto compatible but it doesn't specifically say Wireless Android Auto. Thanks.

[@audiogeneral]

I am sure you have gotten an answer on this by now but just in case, I just bought a 2023 corolla LE and it has wireless android auto so I am sure the SE trim has it. I had trouble at first and I am not sure as others were helping me at the same time but I think you first need to get android auto running with a USB cable plugged into the dash. (All the other ports are charge only). There might have been a wrong setting to begin with but after I got it working I was able to switch back and forth between the Toyota software and AA without using the USB cable.

[@HasnainReza]

@@audiogeneral Yes, I did get an answer from someone on the Toyota forums confirming that it does have wireless Android auto, but I really appreciate your response, it further eases my mind and thanks for that tip about using the cable first. 👍

WIFI? Android Auto doesn't run off Bluetooth? Interesting. I thought it was a monthly subscription with Toyota to have?

Hi Steve. Good video. Given the capabilities of Android Auto, is it even worthwhile to have the Toyota app which requires monthly subscriptions?

You can use android auto without the paid part of the app

So its not a bug or need a system update? Mine turns off on random streets and makes me restart the blue tooth 😮

is Android Auto or Apple Car play subscription services ? or are they free for the life of the car. Thanks for the video. I just purchased a 2023 Corolla SE (wont get it for a few weeks) and look forward to taking advantage of this if it is a free service.

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

its free

[@zoofology]

Lots of information that I have seen points to the idea that the phone has to be wifi capable in order to connect wirelessly to your phone through android auto. Other manufacturer's require you to pay a monthly subscription to enable the wifi. Once you received your vehicle, were you able to connect wirelessly to your vehicle using android auto? (some manufacturer's even offer a 1 year of the subscription free so it may be hard to tell if it works without.)
