Also guys remember when installing any of these units anything that's in Chinese or another language you can take a picture of it and have Google translate it back into english. They had 4 plugs on my unit i was able to read and I knew I didn't need to use those plugs that wasn't for my model car

[@flukedracing7150]

That’s exactly what I did

[@AC_metro]

I used the android radio instead of the factory radio. So plug the antenna into the top antenna connection (you will need to buy a toyota/lexus antenna adapter) The android radio has better reception than the stock one fsr. Only issue that I found on my unit was that theres no AM band.

Thanx for the info bro, I have an 08 IS250, I bought the exact radio, hooked everything up & works fine, I didn't have to change anything, everything was already set, was wondering when we're you going to make a vid on start up Lexus screen ...

@@djvyno_tynto no it doesn't, I even got a 2010 vent & it's still not flush on the bottom, sticks out a lil on the side at bottom, I'm still trying to figure out wut I'm going to do, I think it has to do with where the vents meet the inside tubes that the vents slide into, I'll let you know what I come up with, or if you figure it out B4 me, let me know👍

Hi mate great video much appreciated.. Just a few questions 1 where is the best place to mount the GPS and 4G parts also is it best to put a SIM card in? And what plug's from the head unit actually go into the cd part? I'm putting it in an 06 is250 that never came with the screen. Thanks in advance..

[@tylerc4700]

i really appreciate the install video but i was wondering about the subwoofer connections. i notice theres only one plug for the subwoofer when theres usually two connections that go towards the amp and i was wondering if you know where the other one plugs into. thank you!

Thank you so much for this vide. I bought the same unit and it's working great. I just can't figure out how to do wireless carplay or AA. What do you have to do?

[@flukedracing7150]

You have to connect it to Bluetooth first then you click on the app and it should load wireless Apple CarPlay

[@hcdkey8521]

Hi, great video! Im having trouble connecting my OEM camera to the radio. Everytime I put into reverse, i just get a black screen. My OBD connection is established and the NTSC toggle is on. I contacted the seller and they said to use their own yellow camera.... Did you end up using their supplied camera?

[@bjordal50]

got the same problem

[@tre4085]

hey i did everything in the video but my maps are always bugging is there any way to calibrate it to work properly?

[@Sidsbusyexploring]

Hey man, i did the install, i am facing a couple issues. 1 - the rear right speaker, it feels like just the tweeter is working, rest all are doors good, idk if it was busted before or not.. could it be a wire issue?? 2 - not sure if the rear defogger is working or not, the rear view mirrors are hot but the rear window isnt hot as such..is the wire for both of them same? 3 - bit of static around 35+ from the volume know, I think thats normal, but thinking of adding a high low convertor maybe ?? Not sure if it would help 4 - couldn’t get the reverse cam to work, i have it plugged in to the video out cable on the screen, i tried with all yellow cables, it worked on the fcam In the tv app but not on reverse, as u said i changed it to ntsc as well, im thinking of changing the camera now, the seller has sent it along the screen

[@AC_metro]

If you use an aftermarket reverse camera, you need to tap the brown wire on the black connector on the back of this radio. Its the 3rd wire on the top row of the black connector. Dont cut the brown wire, just tap it and connect that wire to the aftermarket reverse camera. The brown wire tells the radio that your aftermarket reverse camera is receiving voltage from the reverse lights.

[@sixomula]

Would you be able to send me how to wire the camera ? ordered the same head unit but seller hasn’t responded in weeks

[@NaoKeysVT]

The Low/High config is probably for IS models with the screen or without. I have a base model and I didn't need to adjust anything (prob cause it defaults to low) Is yours capable of actually charging your phone while using AA/Carplay? I found my battery still drains veryyyy slowly :p

[@flukedracing7150]

I don’t use them. I mainly just use wireless car play. And that’s good that you didn’t have to do anything for your ac !

[@Marvin1985NL]

Did all the buttons on the right and the AC temp buttons below works? I have an issue with that. What is the reason you selected high? Has this to do with s certain model? My is is from 2006. What model is yours?

[@MrFunBanana]

Leave it on low and it’ll probably work, also do the updates, and make sure the OBD2 connector is connected to the car

[@ysoeung]

Does the oem reverse camera work?

[@22Pachanga]

This unit will work in a 2012 IS250 with OEM Navigation, right? Good video.

hey did you find out if it did or were you just asking? i ordered an aftermarket radio similar to this one before i even bought my lexus but i saw a lot of people saying the lexus with the NAV doesn’t really have a plug n play screen. i have a 2010 with nav so i’m curious

[@KhanhNguyen-hh3jn]

Hi, do you have any issues with your reverse camera? I just got a similar head unit for my 07 is250, my wiring looks similar to yours, especially the camera wiring is identical (I assume you are using the factory/original camera like me). But when I put the car in reverse, it said no signal (for the camera screen) and just showed the parking sensor. I checked my wiring multiple times and I'm pretty sure I did the right connection for the harness. Tried to search for it on Google they said to change the camera format in the setting but no luck so far. Anyway, really appreciate your video, it made my life much easier :)

[@flukedracing7150]

Here are something’s you can try. 1. Make sure you plug in the cable that’s connects to the obd2 port this is how the car gives signal to the radio for back up camera. 2.go to your setting and switch it to NTSC 3. If the obd2 is connected the reverse cameras setting are ntsc then put the car in reverse and mess around with the cables and see if you get an image. There might be something lose. That’s what happened to me and the seller gave me new cables.

[@KhanhNguyen-hh3jn]

@@flukedracing7150 Hi, thanks for your response! yes, I have tried all the options as you said and had the obd2 plugged in but nothing show up on the camera screen, except for the "no signal" word. For the setting, my unit has some formats and I tried all of them including the "CVBS-NTSC". Mine does not have the "NTSC" standalone, do you think that is the issue?

[@flukedracing7150]

@@KhanhNguyen-hh3jn that could be it. On my unit the ntsc is by its self. There some others that you can try but you are going to have to connect it to your wifi. I am making a video about issues like this so stay posted I will upload it hopefully by Saturday or Sunday the latest

[@KhanhNguyen-hh3jn]

I just found out that the seller’s yellow camera cable connecting to the factory harness (the one you’re holding at 19:43 ), in my case, does not have any wires in that area of the factory connector. Rather, that set of OEM wires is split into 3 wire harnesses (the large white terminal similar to yours 19:43 and 2 smaller blue terminals, can’t post pictures here). I think one of them, the blue connectors, should be the rear camera wires. Do you have a clear picture of the your white OEM connector or any wiring diagram by any chance? Maybe I’ll need to do wire splicing in this situation, but don’t know which wire exactly 😂

[@flukedracing7150]

@@KhanhNguyen-hh3jn unfortunately I don’t. I’m surprised that the aftermarket harness does not have the video chord in it. I would suggest to contact the seller and see if they can help you out
