[@samuelodan2376]

Thanks for updating the guide. I hope to get this exact GS and the Carplay device.

[@BeatSonicUS]

Pleasure is all ours

[@stepfencutterback1263]

This car is dope, definitely worth looking for. Looking to upgrade the seats (and CarPlay😂) and that’s about it👌

[@mdony722]

Just what I need

[@BeatSonicUS]

We got you covered

[@christophbrun4059]

Hey i really like how this integrates in to the stock system. Is it possible to use the stock navigation while listening to spotifiy or music on the phone?

[@BeatSonicUS]

Yes absolutely. You can definitely use the stock navigation while listening to Spotify or music on the phone

[@maxb434]

I have a 2020 GSF I was wondering with your latest CarPlay system will you also be able to mirror video I’m talking about the system that cost 750 right now will I be able to airplay video while driving

[@BeatSonicUS]

Unfortunately the new kit is still just Carplay and Android Auto. We offer a separate smartphone mirroring kit here www.beatsonicusa.com/if04ep.html/

[@cmontoya30]

Excellent video, thanks. I have the 2015 Lexus and it is sad that 1/3 of the screen isn't updated with this method. Do you know if it is possible to replace the whole screen with a screen from a 2016 Lexus? If this was possible, then your device will show full screen, isn't? Thanks in advance for your time.

[@BeatSonicUS]

That is correct you will need to change the screen and radio to 2016 or newer and it will show full screen

[@mauricelove9388]

Tx for the video... I have the same exact vehicle, my question is how long did it take you to Install it... want to make sure I don't get taken advantage of paying for installation... thank u

[@BeatSonicUS]

We perform these installs on a daily basis and can complete in 1 and a half hours. Expect first timer to spend between two to three hours

[@rodrigoceja2647]

Hey! Will there be any black Friday sales? :( i think it'd be cool. I need one of these guys p soon lol.

[@BeatSonicUS]

We will have a Black Friday sale but unfortunately our S Connect Carplay Android auto kits won’t be on sale

[@rodrigoceja2647]

@@BeatSonicUS aw man. Thanks you for the reply though.

[@ac4465]

Do the skip-track steering wheel buttons still work when connected to the CarPlay module? Thanks

[@BeatSonicUS]

Yes the track up and down continues to work when connected to the carplay device

[@TheOpius123]

2013 GS350 F Sport with Nav. but No Harman Kardon audio system. Will this kit wirelessly mirror KZbin videos? If not, is there a way to do that? Additionally, I have already bought/installed the (Beat-Sonic Beat-Sonic NDS6223EP Navigation and DVD Control Bypass Module) from you that allows you to watch DVD when in drive, is this kit compatible with that or would I lose this function?

[@TheOpius123]

I just looked at the website and I guess I would have to use this kit Beat-Sonic IF-04BEP Smartphone Mirroring Kit for Lexus but the Iphone would have to be connected with a USB. I'm Guessing that this kit wouldn't work with the DVD/Nav by-pass Beat-Sonic NDS6223EP Navigation and DVD Control Bypass Module offers.

[@BeatSonicUS]

IF-04Bep will come with a special nds6223ep with power connector . You’ll need an Apple TV connected to our kit for wireless mirror

[@adrian_bwn]

This new car play still connect with original amplifier? By the way, can we use aftermarket amplifier?

[@BeatSonicUS]

Yes it used the factory sound system. You can install an aftermarket amp to the car, but that’s indecent from our carplay kit

[@badman5]

I can continue to use the native car system by double clicking on the map button, correct? What is that USB port that you added on the side for? Is it strictly for charging? Smartphone mirroring? What's the antenna for? wifi? GPS?

[@BeatSonicUS]

Correct, you can go back to the native system by pressing and holding the map button. You can use the usb for charging or wired carplay and android auto. Antenna is for wireless carplay and android auto

[@Thtoastanator]

Is the process the same/does the kit work for 2019 models as well?

[@BeatSonicUS]

Yes the kit works for 2019 and installation is exactly the same

[@sharp201]

I want to use the factory usb port inside of the armrest for the carplay/android auto. Is this possible?

[@BeatSonicUS]

Yes but you will need to drill a large hole

[@dilosolid]

Does it work with a Lexus GS350 2013 without Nav with the 8 inch screen? In you page you have it like this 2013-2015 Lexus GS 350, GS 450h with navigation 2014-2020 Lexus GS 200t, GS 300, GS 350, GS 450h, GS F without navigation

[@BeatSonicUS]

We can check. Email us photo of your screen and mouse controller [e-mail]

[@tundecrown6141]

Does your system affects the sound quality of the factory radio when playing music via music apps?

[@BeatSonicUS]

Sound quality is similar to factory Bluetooth

[@tundecrown6141]

@@BeatSonicUS Thanks

[@emanuellugo2290]

Can this system be used with a upgraded 2016+ full screen monitor

[@BeatSonicUS]

Yes absolutely. It will show in full screen if you have 2016+ GS models. You can check our other videos on how it looks

[@romansdaleckis2510]

this is all great - but where is the point of doing it if you can just buy small wirless adaptor dongle and its does the seam job...what would be the diffrence?

[@BeatSonicUS]

Because there’s no such product . Find me a dongle that adds carplay to your car and I’ll buy it too.

[@letongue4640]

There are wireless adaptors that you can plug into cars that already have CarPlay and you can use it wirelessly. However, to my knowledge, there isn’t a product that adds CarPlay to a system that doesn’t have it preinstalled.

[@adnanthetruth]

I really like this conversion kit the only thing I'm not a fan of is not having a full screen

[@BeatSonicUS]

There’s a way around it. Get a 16-20 GS screen and radio. Direct plug and play swap

[@emplays22]

@@BeatSonicUS wait so you can put a 16-20 GS screen on a 13-15 GS?

[@BeatSonicUS]

@@emplays22 yes only if you also change your radio to a 16-20

[@fadiabubaker8042]

Do I have to match both the screen year and radio year if upgrading to get full screen carplay on 15 GS? For example if I get a 17 screen, do I need to get a 17 radio? Or can I mix and match 16-20 screens and radios?@@BeatSonicUS

[@BeatSonicUS]

@@fadiabubaker8042 not sure actually. I recommend you check on the threads on club lexus for the detailed information

[@benblixt468]

Can I still listen to the FM tuner when I'm using an app, like waze? (2014 GS350 RWD)

[@BeatSonicUS]

Im using factory USB for the music 🎶 it will still work after installation??

[@BeatSonicUS]

Yes

[@mohamedamine4425]

Sorry bro what about sound quality it will be the same as the factory ??

[@BeatSonicUS]

@@mohamedamine4425 it will be exactly the same since we’re using the factory audio sources now

[@truechampoftrance]

Is it also a touch screen? Or only you must use the joystick mouse thing.

[@BeatSonicUS]

Since we reuse the factory screen, and factory screen does not support touch screen, you will need to use the joystick

[@Xanomoros]

Does this allow screen mirroring as well?

[@BeatSonicUS]

This doesn’t, but this does www.beatsonicusa.com/if04ep.html/

Nice solution but above $500.00 for a media interface is kind of steep.

It’s not for everyone

[@user-ge9fh5xm2k]

@@BeatSonicUS A solution is not for everyone is not a solution 😇

[@GokuInstinct1]

Why is it so expensive? It doesn't even need a screen, it's just the electronic part to make it have apple carplay.

[@BeatSonicUS]

The electronic parts to interface carplay to the factory screen and controls takes many sophisticated parts to make it all work together glitch free

Expensive and too much work I'm good
