Just installed. Took about 1.5 hours. Having a magnet 10mm and 8 are a must. And a 6 and 3in extension with 6in 1/4 ratchet. Or battery ratchet. And don't forget a philips screwdriver. Everything worked once I connected Bluetooth. Auto loads carplay/Android Auto. Was worth the price

[@BeatSonicUS]

Great work! And thanks for the tips!

[@NobleElite05]

Just installed this in my 2015 Lexus RX and it works like a charm!

[@BeatSonicUS]

Awesome!

[@kyleohara1949]

Just got mine! Gonna spend tomorrow installing. Glad I have the 4th off 😁

How long did it take you to install yourself??

@@kyleohara1949how did it go? Finally bought my rx and thinking of installing myself

[@MrNathan07]

That’s awesome! Glad to know you can add CarPlay to older Lexus vehicles since you can’t change out the radio this would be a great alternative.

[@BeatSonicUS]

Thank you!

Thanks for the great, detailed walkthrough. Will this kit work for an AU model? Everything looks the same, just flipped for right hand drive.

[@BeatSonicUS]

If the joystick and screen looks the same, it should work

[@shihmaohsiao1448]

Excellent. It is very thorough. Just wonder if it works fir year 2012 model as both look very similar

Unfortunately it’s different for the 2012 models

Thanks for the great video. I installed the same unit in a 2015 RX350 but have found that the OEM reverse camera does not work any longer. I can only see a black screen with grid lines when I turn the steering wheel. Any suggestions?

Could you please tell me if it's possible to test the carplay in the car without installing it for a few weeks to make sure it works to my satisfaction? Thanks!

You will need to install it to test it. You can come by our company to test it out

[@tjabai6568]

how is the back up camera working?

[@BeatSonicUS]

Backup camera works normally while in carplay and Lexus screen mode

[@jupiterbullish2520]

Hey does this have a higher amp than the factory radio? ,

[@BeatSonicUS]

This uses the same amp from factory radio

[@RoNiminal]

How would the following work: 1. Backup camera 2. A/C controls 3. Parking sensors Also does this disable, obfuscate or limit any functionality or menus of the vehicle? 2016 RX 350

[@BeatSonicUS]

All three will function normally even while in carplay mode. Backup camera show in reverse gear, climate controls via controls near the radio and parking sensors like normal as well. You won’t lose any factory functions

[@johnzealand9397]

That's not true. You can't see the temperature changes for A/C. @@BeatSonicUS

Hi thanks for answering my questions. The only video that helps with removing the dash(instrument dash cover) is your video. I could not find any video on replacing dash cover for this car.

I have a 2010 is there a way for we to do this?

[@BeatSonicUS]

Still working on that solution

[@piercedasian]

does this kit allow for the factory navigation to still work in conjunction with the carplay setup? I travel in places that sometimes has no data (mountain regions) so retaining the factory nav is desireable.

[@BeatSonicUS]

Yes factory nav will still work

[@shanleydao6490]

I did this to a pritine 07 is350. I now have a 13 rx350 as well. This looks qite a bit harder than the is350. I work on my own cars almost all the time. I used the grom vline. I would not do it again. I would not do this to the rx . I would have it done. But you would have to trust the instsller. I cant. Remember this will only work as good as your phone.
