Wireless CarPlay in the 2026 Toyota Lineup: Which Models Have It?
January 26 2026,
Wireless Apple CarPlay has become essential for drivers who want cable-free smartphone integration. For 2026, Toyota has equipped nearly its entire lineup with this technology, ensuring drivers across Quebec can enjoy convenient, hands-free connectivity. Whether commuting, planning a road trip, or running errands, wireless CarPlay keeps your apps, music, and navigation accessible.
The good news for Toyota shoppers is that wireless Apple CarPlay is now standard across most 2026 models. From compact cars to full-size SUVs, the majority of 2026 Toyotas come equipped with the Toyota Multimedia System, which includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual Bluetooth connectivity, SiriusXM satellite radio with a three-month trial, and HD Radio. This means you no longer need to choose between models or trim levels to get wireless connectivity—it's included from the base trim up on most vehicles.
What is Wireless Apple CarPlay?
Wireless Apple CarPlay allows iPhone users to connect their device to the vehicle's infotainment system without a cable. Once paired via Bluetooth, your iPhone automatically connects when you enter the vehicle, giving you instant access to navigation through Apple Maps, music streaming services like Apple Music and Spotify, hands-free calling, text messaging via Siri, and all your CarPlay-compatible apps. The wireless functionality means one less cable cluttering your centre console and a more streamlined driving experience.
Toyota's implementation of wireless CarPlay in 2026 is paired with the brand's updated multimedia systems, which range from 8-inch touchscreens in entry-level models to 14-inch displays in premium trims. The system is responsive and designed to minimize distraction while maximizing convenience. Dual Bluetooth connectivity also means you can pair two phones simultaneously, ideal for families or couples who share driving duties.
