Does Huawei HiCar Support Toyota Corolla?
2 Answers
Toyota Corolla supports Huawei HiCar. Here is more information about Huawei HiCar: 1. Huawei HiCar supported models: It collaborates with multiple car brands including Volvo, Geely, BYD, Great Wall Motors, Changan Automobile, Audi, FAW, GAC, BAIC, Chery, JAC, and Baojun, covering over 150 models. It is estimated that 5 million vehicles will be pre-installed with HiCar by 2021. 2. HUAWEI HiCar is a smart interconnection solution for the human-car-home full-scenario provided by Huawei. HUAWEI HiCar connects mobile devices and cars, leveraging the strong attributes of cars and mobile devices along with multi-device interconnection capabilities to establish a pipeline between phones and cars. This extends the applications and services of phones to cars, achieving a phone-centric full-scenario experience and creating a smart travel experience for consumers.
Regarding the compatibility of Huawei HiCar with the Toyota Corolla, I must say it's generally not supported. The Corolla typically comes with Toyota's own infotainment system, which is based on the Android platform, while HiCar is Huawei's proprietary protocol requiring hardware integration. From experience, most Corolla models only support Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. If your Huawei phone is compatible with Android Auto, you can connect it that way. I recommend checking your vehicle's model year—post-2020 versions sometimes gain improved compatibility through software updates. However, attempting direct HiCar connection may fail, potentially causing screen blackouts or unstable connections that compromise navigation safety. It's best not to take risks; test before driving or simply pair via Bluetooth for audio to avoid distractions while on the road.
