🌟 Apple Carplay Stereo Is The Ultimate Upgrade for Your Toyota Rav4

Many 2014–2018 Toyota Rav4 owners love the reliability of their vehicle—but wish it offered modern infotainment features. The Hamilton Upgrade Kit changes that by adding both wireless Apple CarPlay Radio and Android Auto to your existing screen, giving you seamless access to apps, navigation, calls, and music.

Key advantages include:

• Wireless and wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility

• Retention of factory audio features (XM, FM, and AM)

• Full integration with your factory screen and operating system

• Flawless use of steering wheel controls and voice activation

• Factory-quality audio through your OEM speakers

🧠 Seamless Integration with Factory Controls

Switching between systems has never been easier. Simply hold the voice speech button on your steering wheel for three seconds to toggle between the factory Toyota interface and the Hamilton operating system.

Unlike generic aftermarket systems, the Hamilton kit works directly with your vehicle’s OEM hardware. It connects under the factory console, preserving your dashboard aesthetics and maintaining the original touch screen Apple CarPlay Reciever feel.

This approach ensures a clean, factory-grade experience that rivals any new vehicle equipped with CarPlay from the factory.

⚙️ Engineered in Raleigh, NC — Designed to Last
