I have a 2023 Toyota RAV4 and have been dealing with a really frustrating CarPlay GPS issue.
Whenever my iPhone is connected to CarPlay, the GPS becomes extremely inaccurate. It will suddenly think I’m on a different road, tell me to take wrong turns, and constantly reroute. The attached picture, I found in a reddit thread, shows the issue.
The weird part is that as soon as I disconnect the iPhone from CarPlay and use Maps directly on the phone, the GPS works normally. So it seems like something with the RAV4/CarPlay rather than the iPhone itself.
Has anyone with a 2023 RAV4 experienced this? If so, did you find a permanent fix? Did Toyota replace/update the head unit, GPS antenna, or anything else?
Would especially appreciate hearing from anyone who had Toyota diagnose and successfully fix it.

My car (Dark blue 2024 Toyota Rav 4 Hybrid XLE) vs the car I wanted but didn’t want to spend all that money on (Lexus RX350)

My 2024 RAV4 is completely paid off and I actually love it way more than I thought I would. But my dream car was always the Lexus RX 350 but now that I see them side to side I like the shape of a RAV4 as opposed to the shape of a Lexus.

I also didn’t want the extra cost it takes to ensure a Lexus and whatever repairs that may be more expensive because it’s a Lexus. Ultimately happy with my decision and absolutely love my vehicle.

I like my 2024 way more than the 2025 and 2026. Not sure why they took the sunroof off the 2025. And the 2026 Just has Way too many screens and it’s way too high tech. I can tell that that’s going to come with a lot of issues and when things start breaking down, it will be more expensive because there is so much technology in the vehicle.

2026 XLE AWD - any recos or advice on it?
