Camry 2018 SE CarPlay Update - Video Walkthrough 

Courtesy TN members... Instructions: camryupdate.home.blog/ When install is complete, please press "Projection" to see CarPlay with your iPhone plugged in

This is amazing! Was able to get this done in 15 mins. Thank you for creating these files, absolutely amazing initiative!!

What a life saver! I was able to update my 2018 Camry this afternoon in about 15-20 mins max. I called my dealership earlier before attempting it myself, I was told the job was going to take 2-3 hours and it would cost $179 (before tax). I searched for a second option, and stumbled onto this tutorial among a few others. I am SOOO glad I found this tutorial it saved me 180+ bucks and a lot of wasted time. I appreciate you doing this tutorial, it was SUPER easy and I recommend doing it yourself. I was a little worried about it initially but I got it done quickly with no hiccups. I did have good weather for it though 30°F, I just opened all my windows and sat in the car while it updated. EZPZ. I used a 32 GB Samsung flash drive slow formatted the drive dropped the files in there and followed the tutorial. 10/10.

As of 07/09/23 the link worked for my husband's car. - I bought a SanDisk 32GB Ultra USB 3.0 Flash Drive - 130MB/s - SDCZ48-032G-AW46 $8.88 at Walmart seemed to work well. -It is a 2018 Camry SE so using the link of 2018 Camry base audio Pioneer. Other versions, you should find it in the PDF instructions to find which one is right for your car, and check your model id at menu->general->software update->then click model information. - I formatted the USB before moving the files into it. - Make sure that you just move those 2 individual files into the usb that are not under a folder. Then just go to your car and do it like the video and it should be working properly. Thank you so much OP!

Thank you so so much for this! I have an 18 Camry and was able to get this done in less than 20 minutes! I used my maps on a recent road trip. So convenient!!!!

I just watched this and now my sister’s Camry has CarPlay! Thanks so much

Thank you. This worked and made my wife very happy. FYI I used a 16gb USB 2.0 drive and made sure it was partitioned for FAT32 and MBR. Follow the TSB closely for your model.

Thanks you and to author of the instructions, Camry SE 2018, spent around the 15-20 mins and installed without any problem, thanks again from Kazakhstan.

A year after this video came out and it is still a working procedure! I was incredibly skeptical and nervous, although it all worked out. I simply used a 16gb 2.0 flash drive like everybody else in the comments and it worked. Make sure you don't have the files in a folder together within the flash drive as it downloads default because then the car won't read it. Put the two files in individually in the flash drive. Finally don't think its hard, someone with no tech experience can do it! I did it all myself by just following the video. Do this and save 200 bucks straight up.

Thank you so much for posting this video and the links. It took me a few minutes to figure out what model to download and then it is just smooth sailing by following the instructions.

Thank you so much..it woked and took around 45 mins for the procedure ❤❤

Wonderful, I was thinking about buying a new screen with apple CarPlay enabled. Randomly found your video and followed the tutorial. Works great. Thank you very much 😊

Just like this channel is called it work"ed" for me! Thank you for being a life saver.

Works amazingly well on my Toyota Camry 2018. Can't be thankful enough to the person uploading and guiding us through the process. A few things to know: First go to your car's radio. Menu > General >Update and find the model ID. Then select the TSB file based on that. The rest of the process is smooth.

Thank you so much for this video!! The instructions were super easy to follow and it took around 30 min to install. I couldn't be happier!!

It worked in about 20 minutes for me!! I spent about an hour trying to figure out which version my car (2018 Toyota Camry XSE V4) needed because it was tricky. I wasn’t sure if my car had Entune Audio Plus or not since it is an XSE. I originally followed your video and downloaded the basic version on a lexar 16gb high speed turn twist flash drive because my stereo doesn’t have a CD player. Did a test run, it didn’t work because I downloaded the PDF file onto the flash drive. Then, I deleted the PDF file from the flash drive and did a second test run. It didn’t work again. It didn’t work because I didn’t extract the zip file. After I extracted the zip file, I ran a third test, but it was unsuccessful again. I read a comment on the forum you provided that said the audio plus version is for most Camry XSEs. Long story short, I deleted the files, then downloaded the audio plus zip onto the flash drive and extracted the files to my flash drive, ran test number four and was unsuccessful again. It was unsuccessful because my Entune software is basic, not audio plus. I found that out as I was working through the first few steps of the PDF for the audio plus version. I felt the high speed lexar flash drive was newer than a 2.0 flash drive so I bought a lexar 16gb 2.0 flash drive, downloaded the basic zip version on my flash drive, extracted the two files from the zip, then deleted the zip file leaving the two files on my flash drive. I followed the instructions on the basic PDF version, which took about 20 minutes, and I now have apple carplay available on my 2018 Toyota Camry XSE thanks to this RU-vid video and the Toyota nation forum!!! I’ve always wanted an installed GPS besides scout GPS (now it doesn’t even work without a subscription for about $25/month). I just have to connect my phone to my car’s USB plug in and press apple CarPlay on the Home Screen to access google maps, maps (iPhone), messages, phone, and more.

That works on my Camry 2018 SE. Thank you so much! You saved me a lot of money and time.

Damn, I just love youtube and guys like this, thanku for saving my 125 bucks

You saved me 1600$ and your software worked. the dealership today tried to update it and they gave me my car after 4 hours the screen not working where it gives me a loop of updating the software and they told me to replace the whole unit. your software worked well. Thank you

Good stuff! Thanks for the walkthrough.

Honesty there is no trust with you , but omg it really worked with my Camry xle 2018 with basic sound , thank you mate , I appreciate , with love from Kyrgyzstan

Thanks, this was so helpful. Went to the dealership the other day and they wanted to charge me $190 to install it. Now, I get keep my $190 and spend it on something else

Thank you for sharing the great ideas and resources. Do you have any updates for the Navigation system, as well? Is this work for 2019?

Thank You! This worked perfectly on my Camry LE and I was able to do it on my Mac!

Praise! Was about to lose it when Tejas Toyota Dealership was going to charge me $180. Did it in 20 minutes!!

Thanks for the tutorial. My car is 18 camry se. So which software is for my car. There is lots of software on your description.

i got an “There is no new software or the media is not inserted.” i don’t understand what that means i have 2018 Camry SE not sure if i have Panasonic or Pioneers

I appreciate this information! Hopefully it goes smoothly for me later.

I wanna thank you so much for this information I just did it!!!! I had to download the audio plus zip instead of the base and I now have Apple car play in my 2018 camry xse 😁😁😁😁

Thank you for this. Followed the instruction from A to Z. Make sure you take out the files from the zip folder or else the car won’t read it.

Confuse on what files to download

Excelente ya mi Camry SE 2018 tiene CarPlay. Muchas Gracias por tu ayuda.

I tried USB 2.0 but was getting an error about not able to access connected device. I am getting same error with charging my IPhone. Is this a fuse issue?

Will it work on camry 2019 le ? It has cd player hd radio and wifi miracast

This worked for me. Thank you!

Just tried to download the files but get a 404 Error code when I click the first link in the instructions for the base audio. The second file link works but the first one I get the error code.

So for me I got a red screen error after turning headlights off and on 3 times. 2nd time this has happened and the files look fine so I don't know what to do

cant find the files sadly, any way i could get them?

Are there any firmare update for Corolla LE 2018?

Just did this on a Mac tonight and it still works! Super easy! Got a cheap Sandisk 32GB drive and it was already formatted to Fat32. Downloaded the software and installed super easy!

How can I upgrade my software I’m just trying to get a 18 Camry in these days

I really want to try this but im not tech savvy.. and not sure where to find the links..

Is there a file to update my toyota corolla 2020 hybrid for android auto?

Hi it's nice video by the way but I have a question please do this links work for GCC Toyota Camry 2019 ??

this works, used a 16gb 2.0 drive and had a flawless installation

Does this work on the LE as well?

I have been wanting to do this for months. But im scared it will mess up my radio. Did you just drag the files on the usb?

Thank you for this. I was able to get this done very fast and safe by using a 256gb ssd which I partitioned to only have 10g on fat32 and then transferred the necessary files. It was enclosed in a usb3.0 casing. The only important thing is for it to be on fat32 and a partition that does not exceed 16gb. Goes very smoothly on the ssd because it doesn’t get overloaded like some of the regular usb thumb drives do.

does this work for a camry hybrid 2018 LE

Was able to update the system, but the app is no longer working. Also, I am able to use car play with apple but not android auto.😢

just to make sure, this is not wireless carplay right? we have to plug in usb cable to use apple carplay

GPS doesn’t lower music when giving verbal instructions

How I get this carplay for Camry 2019 Europa model ?

Can this work for Toyota Camry LE 2017?

Hi, can I use this for "Android Auto" as well?

Does anyone try on 2018 LE?

It says 404 file not found for me. Can anybody fwd me the files for base 2018?

I just purchased a used 2018 Camry XSE. I continue to get a message about software update is required for Entune, but I read Entune is gone. I do have the option for CarPlay. When I plug in my I phone, I have CarPlay. I assume this whole video procedure will do nothing for me as I already have CarPlay functionality?? I just wish I could get rid of the several screens telling me that I need to update Entune!! Is there any way to accomplish THIS??

I have just bought a 2019 Camry SX and want to get Android Auto on it, would there be a similar fix?

Can i do it on my Corolla 2017 LE

So I have a 2020 Camry in the Middle East which does not come with CarPlay installed, do you think this will work on the Middle Eastern version? The software and UI is literally the same except for the CarPlay support.

Muchas gracias por compartir 😇!

Anyone know what file to download?

Thought it wouldn’t work🤣 . But now I have CarPlay. Super convenient

You are awesome 👌

I am an Android guy. Is there an Android auto upload for the 2018 Camry SE with base head unit?

Just now worked for me too. It’s so strange, when I finally got it, the first upload screen got to “3 of 4” and then said “software not supported” and failed. I had to keep going back inside to reformat and erase the flash drive (memorex 32GB) and copy the files back into it, and try again! For reasons I still can’t explain it finally got to “4 of 4” and went the rest of the way! Awesome thanks!! Works good in my 2018 XLE Camry with base stereo. By the way the Toyota nation links are invalid now. I would imagine there was good info on the threads.
