I didn’t look at a ton of models, but most of the aftermarket infotainment centers I did see had CarPlay.
Sonicelectronix.com is the site my coworker recommended and you can filter the results to only show what will work in a RAV4. The one I liked ended up being cheaper on Amazon though.
This is the one I ended up getting. It’s been great so far.
Edit: It also connects to the backup camera and most of the steering wheel controls, if you care about those.
If you have experience installing speakers in your car you could save some dough by doing them yourself but they’re not the easiest to install in the rear deck. You gotta remove a good amount of plastic to get to the two 6x9s and then there are two speakers in the rear seats as well that you need to remove the rear plastic. The front door speakers are easy but you gotta buy spacers for them.

Crutchfield. Just an FYI Amazon is not the most reliable place to buy audio gear. Nothing for nothing this is only $298.00 on Amazon, but doubt the seller is an authorized retailer.
I put this in my wife's yukon and it's great. I'm wanting to upgrade mine to the newer model.
