Well, that's interesting. Ottocast specific excludes the 2019 RAV4 for their CarPlay box. I think they are confused about 2019 not having AA:

But their compatibility sheet says otherwise:

I've had an Ottocast for about a month. Takes about 10 seconds longer than a USB drive to bootup and a lag of about 2 seconds to skip a song. I've also had to unplug it 3-4 times to connect. For the price I'll rate it 4/5.

The 2019 RAV4 does have Apple CarPlay BUT not Android Auto.

Has any found an adapter that works well, without issues on their rav4? I tried Ottocast but had compatibility issues. The sound kept dropping out. The Carlinkit, has a ton of bad reviews. Most saying it just died! Help!!!!

I have had the 3.0 or 2.0 version of the Carlink for 10 months and no issues. Occasionally it’s a bit slow to connect (+15secs) but other than that, works fine! Bought on Amazon. Was actually purchased a few days before I took ownership of vehicle.

I got this from Amazon; it was one of the least expensive adaptors and seems to work well. Get in car and car (2021 RAV4 Prime) automatically links to device and Apple CarPlay shows up on radio head.

I'm using the Motorola Model MA1 wireless for Android in 2022 Rav. It connects very fast whenever you bring the phone inside. Problems after receiving a phone call the maps or music don't restart so have to go through the source button and select Android again. Toyota should have kept the NAV system internal.

I have had the Ottocast for 5 months. most of the time it works fine, I had to reinstall it once after an iOS update. once a month or so it may fail to connect, but usually the next time I start to car it works. about 1.5 to 2 second delay for the controls to react, that is about par for the course.
