With the Gen 6 RAV4, Toyota modernizes its obsolete multimedia system at last
Toyota is finally saying bye to its obsolete multimedia system, which is perhaps the biggest complaint about its vehicles. The Gen 6 RAV4 to go on sale in about a month will use an entirely redeveloped multimedia system based on their new Arene software platform. It is their first shot at building a fully software-defined vehicle (SDV) in the next few years. They had been behind some other companies like Tesla in this regard.
Among the improvements:
- Much faster, smoother, and more intuitive interface using a powerful processor
- 5G connectivity through AT&T
- Customizable displays
- High screen resolution
- Built-in front, rear, and side dashcams
- Full navigation info displayed on the multi-info display behind the steering wheel
- All ADAS features controllable through the multimedia scree
- Much improved voice control
- Over-the-air (OTA) updates through the Arene software platform
- Still built on open-source Linux software
- TSS 4.0 also built on the Arene...

Mass production of solid-state Toyota BEVs to start in as early as two years (in 2027).
