How to Setup & Use Apple CarPlay | Performance Lexus

Apple CarPlay is one of the newest features for keeping you safely connected while driving. It connects your phone to your vehicle and allows apps with Apple CarPlay capabilities to be seen on your screen while connected.
So how do you set it up?
Step 1:
On your iPhone, locate the Siri settings - Settings / Siri & Search. Then turn on "Allow Siri When Locked" and "Press Side Button for Siri."
Step 2:
Locate one of the USB ports on the center console of your vehicle and plug in a data certified* lightning cable. Unlock your phone and connect it to the lightning cable.
*Data certified means the lightning cable is capable of transferring data as well as charging the phone. All Apple Lightning cables are data certified, however some cheap off brand cables may not be.
Step 3:
A pop-up will appear asking you to Deny or Allow Apple CarPlay. Select 'Allow."
Step 4:
Enjoy Apple CarPlay!

Helpful, but would be better to have clearer view of the screen UI menus

How do I do this on a 2018 NX300 F? My screen doesn’t show any of the options in any videos

Thanks!

Good try, but this video does not show what actually happens when you try to get CarPlay working in a Lexus. Menu is different, USB does not connect, in short, Lexus compatibility with modern smart phones is terrible.

Hello. Do you know how can the phone, connected with USB, can automatically connect for Android auto, if it was previously connected by bluetooth ? It is unpleasant to always use the interface, from bluetooth settings, in order to use Android Auto
