CarPlay and Toyota Drive Connect Issue

I recently purchased a 2023 RAV4 Hybrid and love the car in general. That said, I have one major complaint. Shortly after purchasing the vehicle, I was using my iPhone connected to the Multi-media screen through CarPlay, when the iPhone maps app disappeared and I got a splash screen saying “Experience Toyota Drive Connect.” There was no way to exit this screen apart from pulling over and restarting the car and reconnecting the iPhone. I googled this issue and saw various possible solutions, but none worked. I called Toyota and after multiple delays, was told that the only way to get rid of this screen is to purchase a subscription to “Go Anywhere” which includes Drive Connect and Remote Connect. The cost is $15 per month, plus whatever tax you pay in your locale. While Go Anywhere has some nice features, it should be an option, not a mandated purchase to utilize CarPlay. It seems to me that this is essentially extortion, forcing owners to purchase a subscription in order to use CarPlay. This is beneath the high standards of Toyota. I’m sure that Toyota could disable this splashscreen easily should they so desire.
Love it

Really like the smooth solid ride. We have a 2021 and the 2023 has larger cup holders which is an Improvement. I’m not bothered by any road noise. Con: It would be nice if these new cars were more solid it does feel body wise like an aluminum can but all cars have switched to cheaper lighter materials. The steering wheel is not thick/wide enough like on my sequoia. Bring back real bumpers on all vehicles

Since 1985 I've had the pleasure of owning 10 Toyota vehicles for myself and various other family members. The RAV4 XLE continues in that tradition of reliable quality and solid performance that I've come to expect from my Toyota vehicles. Purchase is for a young couple with a baby on the way. RAV4 is the perfect size for both drivers, has plenty of rear-seat room for baby seats and has LOC/tiedowns on all three seat points in the back. Power liftgate is perfect for an expectant mother. Gas mileage is solid, 200hp 4 cylinder provides plenty of pickup. STAR-safety features (especially the laser cruise control and blind spot indicating mirrors) will pay for themselves. My only complaint? Toyota seems to be purposely limiting supply, giving dealers way too much leverage on price (we probably paid $3-4k too much and still had to wait weeks) but it's not just Toyota shutting down production, we had to wait for an equivalent Honda as well, and Hyundai/Kia were out until they fixed their security issues. Overall, not a great experience, but a vehicle that was worth waiting for, if a bit too expensive.

After driving many competitive SUVs , settled on the RAV4. Solid feel of city and highway driving, as I spend lot of work & leisure time in my vehicles. My sales work made easier with mobile showroom easy access cargo area with customers( sits on comfortable level to load, access, move items around.)Mpg is great. Thought I’d miss my Ford Edge , that I loved, but I don’t. This RAV is easy to love. Nicely conservative styled , crisp lines, yet not showboat machine ( which I didn’t want). Anticipating years of use. Wife finds it easy to climb in/out , it’s “ butt height” friendly ! 😊 And we ain’t spring chickens , folks , in our late 60s !
