Can you have both the CarPlay and the mirroring function installed? I’ve purchased your CarPlay modem and installed it on my 2016 Lexus NX 200t w/o navigation and would like to also have the smartphone mirroring function.
Wondering, are the connections all the same or, for a Lexus car with Mark Levinson audio, would there be an audio benefit going in one direction or another? Thx for any help
@@BeatSonicUS Thx for the response and sorry my question wasn't clear. My question was really whether android auto or phone mirroring would be better quality for audio reproduction? Car is 2021 LX570 with Levinson
@@pconyc with our new kit, android auto routes all audio to the cars Bluetooth so your sound will be identical to your current Bluetooth.

We are upgrading the radio in our 2002 Lexus SC430 next week. I have purchased the beat sonic MVA-12L adapter. We are putting in a Kenwood DMX908S head unit and a backup cam. I’m considering using the OEM nav screen for backup cam but not sure about image quality on old screen. Can backup cam connect to both screens or toggle between screens using mode control on steering wheel? Thanks
Connecting the backup camera to the factory screen is not ideal as the camera won’t show when you engage the reverse gear. In order to view the video on the top screen, you will have to press the mode button while you engage your parking brake or you need to bypass the video in motion by grounding the parking wire connected to the top screen. As such we recommend that you connect the backup camera to the new radio instead
So, if you already have Android Auto, and you want to get a mirroring kit, you have to give up Android Auto? Or is that only when utilizing the mirroring kit????
I wish there was a kit for the 2008 GS450H…. All I want is to be able to play music from my iPhone to my factory Mark Levinson stereo but I can’t connect my phone so I’m stuck with FM, CD or Cassette Tape 😂

With the car play. If I get one of those wireless Carlink kit adapters will the car play still work wirelessly? Also does the CarPlay work with iPhone 12 Pro
Thanks! Unfortunately carplay kit not compatible with highlander with birds eye view camera option. However this smartphone mirroring kit is compatible
Just installed mirror like today (was a bit pricey but worth it tho). I use both iOS and android phones but I decided to install it with android. iPhones no longer have landscape mode and my note 8 dose. I would prefer to use my iPhone because I think it give a better audio experience but the android landscape mode looks a lot better on the radio screen. Two Thumbs up 👍🏽 👍🏽.
Thank you for your consistent developments for us entune users! Quick question, for mirroring on toyota tacoma stereos, does the splitscreen work, or when mirroring does it always take up the full screen?
That’s correct, it will still be split screen on the 2015 LS models as the screen hardware is actually two screens. To achieve full screen display, you will need to swap to a 2016+ screen and radio
