At a Toyota dealer unfortunately.

In above search field, type "Retro Fit Apple Carplay & Android Auto"

 without quotation marks." Topic explains all.

Early models of the current Corolla and Rav4 using the MM17 multimedia unit, didn't have Apple Carplay/Android Auto. In 2020, after some delay, a retro fit became available via Toyota dealers, which cost around £120 as a standalone upgrade or around £50 if done with a service.

The retro fit wasn't designed to be self installed due to the possibility of bricking the head unit.

See:

Dealers should still be able to install the upgrade, but costs 3 years later, may be more.

The previous generation Yaris didn't have this later head unit, so a Carplay/Auto upgrade isn't available for the Yaris via this route.
