Our take on the 2014-2018 Toyota Rav4 Hamilton Upgrade Kit for CarPlay and Android Auto

The Hamilton Upgrade Kit is a module that installs behind a 2014-2018 Toyota RAV4 factory radio and adds wireless and wired CarPlay and Android Auto to the original screen. It keeps the factory microphone, steering wheel controls, backup camera, AM/FM/XM radio and factory navigation, and a three-second hold of the steering wheel voice button switches between Toyota's system and the Hamilton interface. That makes it one of the few options that adds CarPlay without replacing the head unit, unlike aftermarket radios that lose factory integration. It suits RAV4 owners who want modern phone mirroring but want to keep the stock dash and features.

  • Wireless CarPlayPraisedBuyers report wireless CarPlay and Android Auto connect and run on the original display.
  • InstallationMixedThe module goes behind the factory radio, so the job takes time and some DIY comfort, though owners say the result looks stock.
  • System switchingPraisedHolding the voice button to jump between the Toyota interface and the Hamilton system is described as easy.
  • Screen sizeCriticisedThe kit keeps the original RAV4 display, so the screen stays the same size rather than growing like an aftermarket unit.
