[@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.

I saw this too late :-D

[@wjsink]

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.

[@8toms]

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

[@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.

[@KeegsH]

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

[@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

[@casabak6757]

Does the Carlinkit improve the boot time of the headunit?

[@PatrykHERE]

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

[@TheMstwntdLMSV123]

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

[@25566]

Coul do this with tasker

[@wayeboyz4525]

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

[@alialwahedi4672]

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

[@chrisfooty1434]

Can u get reverse cam

[@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 ?>??

[@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..?

[@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

[@Muzaini42]

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

[@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

[@drewg8542]

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

[@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?

[@Babyghost414]

When will you install the back up camera?

[@garvitbhandoola5159]

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

[@freddieclemente5302]

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

[@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 ?

[@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 😩

[@simonepancer4156]

Did the the sticky dash harden then soft dash?

[@kennyweaver3597]

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

[@zachmodz5083]

Did this radio originally come with CarPlay?

[@Daniel-xc8nf]

You left out the bit where your head unit needs to run on Android. My Kenwood DMX8019s runs a seperate Kenwood OS so this device won't work.

[@ccssp]

Literally says it in the video title

[@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?

[@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)?

[@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?

[@mannylsworld4172]

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

[@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?

[@josedelvalle7855]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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…

[@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]

@@marksmoddiary7485 ohh I missed that thanks for the respones ur video is really helpful

[@stickboyfpv4742]

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

[@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 =)

[@iamgeorgeseders]

I LOVE WAYMAKER! Great Song!!!!

[@calebeassis]

Amazing song bro!

[@Muzaini42]

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

[@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?

[@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.

[@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.

Great question. However I noticed that this guy didn't have a back up camera or the higher end head unit before I stalling this aftermarket head unit.

[@mdroproductions]

Yes it does. I have a similar set up on my car except my radio is an Atoto A6 10.1 and my backup cam still works

[@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

[@Mia-py1ik]

I have a 2009 Lexus and it doesn’t have the cigarette lighter in the glove box like yours does. Would I be able to plug the adapter into the one beneath the radio?

[@Amir.253]

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!

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

[@gunnerbliss7309]

Hey I was just wondering if your buttons on the lower part of your head unit work , not the radio box buttons but the ones on attached to the screen. Mine light up but have no function when I push them

[@gunnerbliss7309]

I could use some help

[@noahqueen2567]

You have to go to factory settings on the head unit and go to touch study. Then touch the command and the button and it should redirect the commands back to the buttons.

[@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

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?

[@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

[@veeti6756]

How does it gets internet connection? Do you need to be on wifi range everytime u use that?

[@ccarazay]

You only need WiFi to install the app onto your head unit. Once installed, you’re good to go, no WiFi needed

[@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.

[@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

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

[@juniormartinez7569]

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

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.

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?

Are you using a hotspot from your phone for Internet on you unit?

[@grahamjgreen]

He probably is. You could also use a dedicated wifi hotspot device, or when you're at home if you are close enough to pick up the wifi in your house you could connect to it. Of course, that's no good if you're driving but it can be good for installing apps and updates while you're at home.

[@ApolloVIIIYouAreGoForTLI]

6:20 Dude.. Of course you use your iPhone to record video & simultaneously use CarPlay - “CarPlay” is in essence an iOS app that needs an external monitor to work. For example, If you open maps in CarPlay mode then your iPhone is doing the heavy lifting but instead of using its display it uses the head unit..

[@LAStupidDrivers]

This will work with any adapter or a specific adapter?

[@ST-wi9eq]

I've got a new 10" Android head unit that looks a lot like yours. When you start your car, how long does it take for the head unit to boot up? Several seconds seems like an eternity. And for some reason, it always boots up with radio as the default even though I turned off the car while using CarPlay or another media source.

[@JaysonHoang14]

Do you remember which input you put your RCA cables in?
