Thanks for the video! My 2010 Lexus IS250 does has touch screen Nav but no Mark Levinson logo..so do you suppose this would work or how would I find out? Thanks
Yeah the good thing about this unit is the pros overcome the cons. The unit is awesome and there is so many features and things you can do with it. If I were to make a video about every feature I would have 2 hour video !
@@flukedracing7150hi you said it doesn't work with Mark Levinson premium surround system? It has the logo on my cd player. I thought we had the same car. I have a 2006 is350 with the stock navigation system that I want to upgrade like u did.
@@dantheman7898 I know there some android units that are compatible with mark levison but they are little more expensive and don’t look as good in my opinion just keep and look at some forums
I don't know about carplay but Android Auto was doing the same for me. I thought it was my VPN on my phone but I learned that you must have the following settings turned on. PHONE: Wifi; Bluetooth; & Location... RADIO: Bluetooth & location. Wifi needs to be turned off on radio. You may also need to go into Tlink settings (3 dots) and set the setting to "Link mode", not Mirror mode. Afterwards, restart your phone and radio.
Hi Bro! I have the same radio. In the Zlink/Tlink app that comes default on the multimedia system, the audio on CarPlay Bluetooth keeps freezing. I've already updated the app itself through the functionality in the multimedia system, but the freezing issue persists. Could you please send me the link for the correct and most recent version of the Zlink/Tlink app that fixes this music freezing problem?
Hello, a few days ago my unit arrived, thank you for your videos and explanations, it really helped me a lot, I bought 4GB/32GB, it works quite smoothly, I have parking assistant, do you know how I can see that on the screen, also any ideas To modify the sleep time, my model I cannot find the option, K2001n
Original will fit but wont be perfectly flush with the older 06-08 models with the aftermarket head unit. 2009+ vents will fit more flush with the aftermarket head unit shown.
They will clip back in but you'll have a pretty big gap between the top of the headunit and the vent since the 06-09 vents protrude out more than the new vents. So id just get the 09> vents if you have the pre facelift IS.
How do you get the Wi-Fi signal when driving? Also how do you get more apps from your iPhone on it,I only have very basic ones that come up on the head unit? Thanks in advance
Hey man thanks for these videos, just wanted to ask you if you know how to deal with my issue, I bought my car with this installed and recently had to swap my battery for my car. After doing so my music pauses every 60 seconds for about 15 seconds and resumes. It doesn’t matter if I’m listening to the radio or what not. Hoping you’ve dealt with this and it’s a easier fix then I assume
Left side of the EQ is always for bass. Lowest frequencies audible to the human ear is around 80 hz. Middle of the EQ is for mids or vocals. Right side of the EQ is for high frequencies and tweeters. I personally like an EQ with a W shape
Awesome video bro. Quick question, i have the same head unit and i got everything pretty dialed in but my google olay store doesn't work. I cant download anything. Do u know how i can fix that ?
You might have to update your unit. Or you can go Chrome through the browser and search the APK version of the software you want for example if you Netflix you need to search Netflix apk and just download it and it should install after downloading
thank for your install video i am waiting on for the right cables from the seller and i am excited to get mine back in since my stock one is broken , is it still holding up good?
What model do you have ? How much ram? Use the cable and see if it works better. I would also just search tlink apk on google of not reach out to the seller
hey thank you for the response i have a 2006 is 350 base nav my a/c or sound wouldn’t work with the cables they sent me and everything didn’t plug in lots of male cables, you’re wires looked different than mine ,mine said 2006-2013 on it.
@@flukedracing7150i also have the same as you 6gb and 128 and they said the new cables are on the way. I think they sent me the cables for non nav? let me know what you think
I have issues with the right buttons. You told that the seller changed the harnas. What where the issues? I have the right buttons and temp buttons not working
The issue with mines was the reverse camera not coming on. I would mess with the temp setting on the unit. Also you might have to have the air running before adjusting 🤷♂️
When i got mine back in 2022, my drivers side temp down button didnt work. I lived with it for a year and ended up reinstalling my factory radio. After i removed the radio, i looked on the back and i noticed that one of the resistors had a broken soldering joint. The resistor is so tiny that when i went to reposition it to resolder it, the resistor went flying and i never found it. I bought a small roll of 420 resistors for like $6 on Amazon that were rated the same as the factory resistor. They were physically larger but they still fit. It fixed my temperature down button so i reinstalled the Android head unit again.
@@flukedracing7150 my amp died. And you either have to get the OEM to replace it or if you do get a new amp you have to replace the head unit because the factory won’t work with a aftermarket amp. That head unit looks like a good alternative.
Interesting I would re check your wiring and make sure everything is connected properly and not loose. I had that issue with mine. I had to recheck my wiring
@@flukedracing7150 i saw this video which will allow it to auto launch it uses carlinkit here is an install video of that for anyone wanting that, ruclips.net/video/ygP2XuuYkcE/видео.html
Awesome ! I can too it’s just reversed some weird reason like the back button goes forward and the forward button goes back. But everything else is good

Ty for the update man, really appreciate you going into detail of the cons from the stereo itself. Definitely going to get it now

@@dantheman7898 hey yeah it won’t work with mark levison sound system.. that’s what the seller had posted on the description.
Ok. 😢 what would you recommend for me to get as a replacement for my radio. I would like to upgrade like you did.

how do you get it to automatically connect to car play each time you start the car? Mine is just saying connect each time. Thanks for the updates man.

Can you install the OEM navigation radio on the IS if your car doesn’t come with the navigation radio ? Is it plug and play ?
The steering wheel hands free button works on your unit with car play? Tkz a Lot!
How did you get your factory back up camera to work? I don’t have a connection for it.
I used the provided obdd2 cable and the harnesses… is connected the yellow cable and it worked for me
The original air vents won’t fit?

I got the same headunit for my is300 model 2011 and it was a nightmare to install
Yea they can be I made a video about too but it’s not too hard just have to have patience
How do you get the Wi-Fi signal when driving? Also how do you get more apps from your iPhone on it,I only have very basic ones that come up on the head unit? Thanks in advance
you need to edit it on your iphone settings
You need to have a mobile hotspot service on your phone.
your videos are gr8
How i get lexus logo ?
Can you drop the link for it?

I’m having the same problem, did you fix it?
Did you have issues with your hazards and door lock beep stop working after install. Have this same radio and trying to fix
No. I would recheck the wiring and make sure everything is seated in properly
Did you find the issue for the hazard fix and did you have to do the software updates to get the AC to work like this video?

Bro when i hit the climate control i get nothing on the screen. Any suggestions
I would play around with the setting. Mine had a similar issue.
Did you find the fix ?
Do you know if it would work on a 2009 Lexus ISF
I think it should be you could always reach out to the seller and confirm he pretty good at reaching back out

It should. It had extra plugs for then

does it auto launch into apple car play when i turn the car on, or do i have to click into the Tlinks app everytime?
You have to click on the tlink but I’m sure you can have it auto start to it

Hey bro how did you download the ac screen controls mine is not working ?
Did you figure it out? Mine don’t either
You will have an APK folder in your file manager. Check there. There may be 2 APK folders so check both of them
Does this support Android Auto as well?
Yes it does
would you recommend 4gb or 6gb?
I have the 6gb but either one would be good.
@@flukedracing7150 do you know if this would work with 2011 nav with Mark levinson
Ac is not working
Did you find the fix ?
Hi
Hi, I just got this and was able to flip the skip buttons.
Awesome ! I can too it’s just reversed some weird reason like the back button goes forward and the forward button goes back. But everything else is good
@@flukedracing7150my buttons work the correct way
My AC doesn't work at all and I'm having sound issues though
@@flukedracing7150actually, go to factory settings and scroll all the way to the bottom. Can't miss it
