I wonder if anyone managed to connect to Miracast and Wi-FI features of FY20/F21 Prado. I asked that question at 1st complementary service but dealer technician did not know either.

Not with an Iphone, you may have better luck with an Android device.

What would be steps to configure for Android?

If it is not covered in the owner's or the multimedia manuals, I suggest you join myToyota and give the Toyota Owner's help line. That's what they're there for.

Firstly park your car, it will not work if it is in motion.
Choose input selection on the car head unit and choose Miracast.
Go to your phone - I have a Samsung, so I swipe down to show all the toggles. Swipe across until you find "Smart View".
It will automatically start searching and find your car - select and it should connect.

Basically, it mirrors your phone on the screen. What is it good for?

Well, the only real use I have found is if I am waiting in the car with kids or partner and we are watching youtube clips or similar while we wait.


If you have an Apple, then simply add a step
