Hey Mark, you are one of the few people to make videos about this Lexus IS headunit situation, thanks for all your help they are very useful for my own IS.

[@thomasthetrainist]

That's head screen dash unit looks badass. Nice vid.

[@luisc1873]

I bought a 06 is350 myself as a project car and your videos are really going to help accomplish some of the things I want to do to it,Keep the great content coming.

[@marksmoddiary7485]

Aw I jealous, I wish I could get my hands on an is350. Maybe one day. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thanks dude! Glad I could help!

[@DenverDoc]

Did u buy a radio?

[@AndrewM_148]

​@@marksmoddiary7485 hey they've come out with a wireless android auto model now.

[@240raul]

Video starts at 4:00 thank me later

[@MeechJacobs]

It's later and thank you!

[@Mike-cu6gk]

Raul Magana Oh he is one of those ? 😂

[@cootason]

Thanks :P

[@Henyckma]

Omg lol thanks!

[@esoel]

I saw this too late :-D

[@quanganh8]

Hi Mark, quick question. After installing the AutoKit app, does car play auto start every time you turn on the car? Or I have to click on the app every time I turn the car on? Thank you

[@mychalmorris9928]

Hi thanks for the information. My question is, I have a Pioneer 4400nex Head unit, can this work with my Pioneer Head unit as well since it not an Android head unit..?

[@anthonyadams1753]

Interesting timing. I discovered this same adapter on eBay today. Also I’ve had that exact song (Way Maker) stuck in my head all day! I’m wanting to upgrade my headunit which already has CarPlay to wireless CarPlay. I am not able to open a web browser on my headunit like you did to download something. Does that mean I am unable to use this adapter? TIA =)

[@frederikcubirka2046]

Hi, after turn off and again turn on will your iphone automatically pair with Carlinkit and show up car play on display ? Thx for answer!

[@NaoKeysVT]

did you ever find it annoying to exit Carplay to access like temp controls? Thats my biggest gripe with these, is that most of them are lacking certain controls and need to be handled on the screen.

[@jt559]

Great insight bro👍

[@timothy_synth]

Does my standart Parking/Rear View Camera work with this Adapter?

[@DebbieFBI]

Too bad it doesn't work first android users as yet. Great video!

[@michaelgerges8359]

Do you need to be connected to WiFi on your unit to access apple car play? Or is like other cars just connect via Bluetooth and use with no wifi?

[@YvngBTv]

Is the sound quality thesame as the stock because i have a scosche unit and an aftermarket stereo and my rear speakers wouldn’t work and it sucks because with the stock radio they worked.

[@rebellos5195]

Great video bud.

[@mannylsworld4172]

Cool unit definitely want to get one to bad they don't deliver to the uk

[@-RockOn-]

I had a few questions. I would greatly apreciate if you could answer. Firstly. Do you already need to have Android Auto on your car system for this to work? Secondly Do you know if this would work with the Chrysler Pacifica 2017 8.4 inch screen Thirdly. Since this is a third party android auto does it allow you to use KZbin and other Video apps with it?

[@2gr375]

Hey bro I recently want to buy a head unit like this but I’m worried about the airbag light or a tpms light for the tire pressure system any codes

[@hypocalips]

Hey sir, I have the same radio unit and I want to install external microphone can you please help with information and how did you install it please? Thanks

[@steventregaskis6933]

what HU can I get to replace the factory one in a Kia Picanto mk 2 would you say? also do you have any links for any please.

[@brentgirouard]

My Atoto A6 double din only has one USB port on the back. it is currently being used for my das cam. I was wondering if i could use a USB splitter so i could use both the dongle and the dash cam simultaneously ?

[@PatrykHERE]

Hi, i have question, with what did you repair the upholstery?

[@fabianjimenez2174]

Does the wireless device have to be connected to the radio using the usb wire, or just any usb connection (to just power it)?

[@hide598]

How reliable is this product? I’m torn between using an android head unit + carlinkit or a pioneer head unit that support carplay. Android head unit seems scroll much smoother than pioneer even though pioneer is much more expensive.

[@Ninjitsu206]

where did you get the usb cable that plugs into the head unit??? Or does that come with the old head unit? And i wish you showed me how you installed the usb in the glove box and the usb-c one as well 😩

[@huntershowalter6579]

Can you plug in an aux cable into your lightning port on your phone and still run wireless CarPlay while playing music into the Aux cord?

[@REDe4AKSHON]

Is that the Xtrons TR108 headunit? If it is I have the same unit and was looking into adding this feature. Thanks for showing me the way lol.

[@iamgeorgeseders]

I LOVE WAYMAKER! Great Song!!!!

[@calebeassis]

Amazing song bro!

[@D7ooM442]

Hmmm.. it’s ok but I love songs like Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd 👀

[@benyoucrazy1169]

hey dude wanted to ask if you still use it and if you do how is it after all this time is it still good is it really worth it ?>??

[@markmartinez6780]

Hey Mark im looking to get either a is250 or 350 for a daily what would you recommend?

[@Josemateusjm]

How can I switch which mic use? Cuz I got a radio like yours but the mic from the radio doesn’t work

[@wayeboyz4525]

When did you put the car kit thing please reply I didn’t see it in the video

[@11xrayranger]

Hey man I have this head unit as well. Do you by chance have a Bluetooth adapter hooked up to the unit for apps like torque? I can connect my phone but not my obd2 BT adapter.

[@carlosmayorca1757]

Could you please tell me how fast does the start after the installation and setting is complete. I got an android stereo that comes with TLink (which is an app that runs CarPlay) but this TLink connects 6 out of 10 times and it takes about a minute tu run

[@MartinRiosArellano]

In the product description it says that it only goes wireless for CarPlay, but wired if choosing Android Auto, Is this right? How's the experience with Android Auto? My stereo is similar to that in the vid and has Android 9.1

[@blaze71002]

is there a dongle to use with manifacturers unit? i supose thiw one works only on android units. i have a renault kadjar 2019. will it work on r link 2?

[@LAStupidDrivers]

This will work with any adapter or a specific adapter?

[@adamsevim2469]

hello, i have 2009 Lexus is250. i already had display navigation(cam,GPS,etc) and i have to replace with this android screen. so when i install this one is it gonna work my already installed camera or do i have to install new one?? Thanks

[@alialwahedi4672]

Does your lexus comes with OEM back up camera?? If yes, did the android headunit works with it ???

[@najksorn]

Does the wireless adapter work WIRELESS with an android phone? ive seen some other videos saying that i still need the android-phone to be connected with wire even if i have a wireless adapter!

[@minhamultimidia]

Hi...I'm brasilian, sorry for my inglish. I have this dongle and a problem with carlinkit app. when i install carlinkit app on my radio others apps dont works. for example: i open radio app and after five seconds the app closing. can you help me ?

[@garvitbhandoola5159]

Did your head unit have any kind of wired or CarPlay in general on it before you got the dongle ?

[@gnarfaa6362]

does the system also fit in a lexus is 220d? I mean the head Up unit? Greetings from Germany 👋

[@Dubishhh]

So does the carplay use the internet of the phone? Or do i still need to turn on the hotspot on my iphone to get the headunit going?

[@ApolloVIIIYouAreGoForTLI]

The “wince” download is for head units running Windows CE & that’s the majority of most 1st party infotainment (many not so much in the last 5a+ years) .. However I’m pretty sure for obvious reasons you can’t just install whatever you want

[@KeegsH]

Do you have to have data on as I don't want to leave my data on it would use it all

[@HeyOzzy24]

I bought one of the Carlin kit and downloaded the auto kit and the CarPlay works. Only problem is I bought the wired one by accident

[@nate19831000]

Will this work for a 2008 Lexus ISF with rearview camera and navigation?

[@Alibmn0a]

If I dont have android or CarPlay currently, would this carlinkit device only play google maps on my car screen? Lexus gs14

[@KingTheDetailer]

I see you have an eonon radio , can you post the exact link for the exact carlinkit you used , I have the 10.1 inch and looking to go wireless myself , thanks in advance

[@TheRocboy323]

Keep it up I like the video

[@bryans1361]

How did you get your side buttons to turn a different color? Mine will only stay white

[@sander289]

does the Android car systeem need to be connected to wifi /4G /your phone's hotspot?

[@zoulax3274]

I have a 2011 is250 but on the aliexpress page it says my version of headunit wont fit. Is there a good alternative for it? Cheers

[@freddieclemente5302]

Does this work with factory navigation unit? I have a 2006 Lexus is250. Thanks

[@rapidfirerob4]

I've seen many bad reviews of this product. Sound becomes distorted after nine minutes. It disconnects a lot as well. Have you had these issues? I have a Lexus 2106 IS 200t.

[@relmighttrip]

can you use your phone screen at the radio at the same time?

[@TheMstwntdLMSV123]

Does this app automatically launch and connect to your phone when you start the car?

[@25566]

Coul do this with tasker

[@jotpichon]

Dose KZbin works on it or do you have to jailbreak it

[@marissa.jimenez0502]

Will this work on a 2005 honda accord if i have the android xtrons stereo?

[@drewg8542]

What year is250 is this? Also, how do you have internet access with the head unit? Thanks!!

[@DJICESKULL]

I’m getting a message that says parse error. There was a problem parsing the package. What should I do ?

[@Abo3zh94]

So Bluetooth is all your need? I ordered the same part and it says I have to connect via WiFi too or I’ll get disconnected

[@ChrisRod92]

I've replicated your build, thanks for all the help. I am subbed. Do you know if our head unit has any firmware updates? I can't source this thing.

[@efraing2482]

Any updates on your experience? How you liking it?

[@juniormartinez7569]

I plan on installing this on my 350 but would it work vertically?

[@Clueless_504]

I already have auto kit download on my android unit, do I have to download another version of the auto kit?

[@ivyl5537]

Do you to download the autokit, even if you have a iPhone and CarPlay mirroring system because I have the Toyota Agyo 1.0 vvt x-press and it came with a screen fitted and I have order the CarlinKit USB CarPlay Dongle,Compatible with Android car system version 4.4.2 or above,Support IOS13/14 wired CarPlay and wired Android do you think this will work?

[@CrankImmortals]

Can you show android auto working? I have a similar looking head unit, but the Tasker Widget is missing and Waze does not show in my apps despite showing in my launcher on my phone.

[@gunnerbliss7309]

Your videos are extremely helpful just got a 08 250 as my first car and I’m planning on putting in this head unit but worried that the fitment won’t be right and there will be a gap like in your other video , is it a hard process to put the sugaru and stuff on ? Thanks keep up the videos

[@marksmoddiary7485]

If your dash is in good shape then I’d recommend not installing the black air vent. The gap at the top is only because I installed an 09 air vent. You can keep your 08 air vent and you won’t have a gap, it’ll just stick out about 1/8” at the bottom where it meets the stereo (there’s a short cut-scene in the stereo install video showing the lip). The Steelstik/Sugaru combo was tougher than I thought it would be. If my dash wasn’t already falling apart (it was chipping at the edges before the stereo install) then I probably would have stuck with my original air vent and just modified it (maybe use a grinding wheel to cut down on the lip and repaint it).

[@gunnerbliss7309]

Did he answer your question Andres ?

[@marmar_the_king]

Did u get your navigation to work bro?

[@josedelvalle7855]

Have you installed a after market sound system..?? To this unit or any one else out there..??

[@benelias9487]

I have a similar head unit to you in my old Bmw and bought this dongle on your recommendation after seeing this video. I’ve never thanked someone on KZbin before but this was so awesome I felt I should. Have you figured out a way of getting the voice activation button on your steering wheel to activate Siri instead? Providing you have said button that is. Mine just actuvates the phone section of the actual android unit which sucks as it’s obviously not connected to anything and is rubbish

[@tejasgandhi9146]

Which version of bmw u have I have f10 with cic idrive system Will it work with that

[@stickboyfpv4742]

Yever tried quick support? No need for the adapter. As well as it mirrors the screen!

[@DAVIDLEEBANKS]

how does waze work with apple car play on this unit ? is it smooth

[@VictorCruz-tr3yl]

What do you do with the old radio ?

[@magdalenoovando201]

Hey mark I wanted to know how did you setup the usb port thats in your glove box since you have the carlink in there? Because honestly your videos have been helping me a lot since im trying to get the same setup that you have in my is250

[@marksmoddiary7485]

@magdaleno Ovando I’m glad to help! I had to drill a hole and route the head unit’s USB cables to it. I’ll be releasing a video soon with an update on my stereo and I’ll explain how the glovebox USB is set up.

[@magdalenoovando201]

Mark's Mod Diary thanks man I appreciate it

[@marksmoddiary7485]

@Dawit I don’t already have any USB ports in my mid-console (I assume you mean the armrest storage box between the driver & passenger seats), so I cannot say for sure. However, if your mid-console USB ports are directly connected to the back of the touchscreen, I’d imagine they should work fine for Carlink.

[@nordicpride9708]

Mark's Mod Diary Why did you choose this vs the Tesla style? How long is boot time?

[@carbondioxide2882]

What’s your Android system for the head unit plz?

[@rubyvert2686]

For some reason when I downloaded it my applcarplay looks more dim like the brightness to it not as clears as yours

[@Babyghost414]

When will you install the back up camera?

[@kennyweaver3597]

Will this work on aftermarket radios like pioneer android auto on it????

[@anasmanasrah1589]

Would it work for my Nissan Sentra 2013 it already has a screen

Can you play KZbin or coyote app on your car with this

[@shem3737]

What's the difference between the octa core 2 and the octa core 4

[@kallmehh]

So how has the unit held up? Skeptical on these because I feel like they will lag/be slow. How is it switching between pages and do you know which version you got? Ram/rom wise

[@ApolloVIIIYouAreGoForTLI]

In regards to CarPlay it’ll alway run smoothly as all cpu processing is done on your iPhone…

[@D7ooM442]

How about the lyrics on Apple music app? Is it supports that?

[@RobsTechs]

See if I buy this adapter I'd install it behind the car stereo that way it's always plugged in and I don't have to worry about it

[@josecarranzza5567]

It work with any android stereo that doesnt support CarPlay?

[@adelhussain1222]

I have purchased the android 9.1 radio would this work with that

[@jakecarswell8464]

Quick question. The link in the description takes you to amazon, and when it says there are 3 color options, (not really colors just different products), there’s one for $79.... is that the same product as you’re using just cheaper?

[@hadious]

the carplay is connected using bluetooth right?

[@simonepancer4156]

Did the the sticky dash harden then soft dash?

[@PeteyPablo408]

Does anyone know if this will work with a JVC KW-V340BT head unit? Please

[@zachmodz5083]

Did this radio originally come with CarPlay?

[@feliciacarr7583]

So wireless or wired CarPlay can work on any screen?

[@ericdayter5152]

My question is can you use this on any head unit on a stock 2014 MDX unit for example?

[@jahnevachambers9040]

No you can't! Need to have aftermarket.
