Good video but some more clear shots of where certain things go would be helpful. For instance the location of the antennae, I have no idea where it’s mounted or where the cord is going. Based on your overhead angle at 14:00
The antenna can be mounted anywhere, as long as it's away from the factory radio and our modules to prevent interference. Specifically in this video, we mounted it close to the same area in 14:41
Hi Eric. Great videos. I have a 2017 RX350 but the factory navigation utilizes the Toyota Scout GPS link which is no longer supported and it sucked anyway. Will your unit still work with my system? The screen on the dash doesn't go the full width of the unit.
Hello Eric, It's so wonderful works. I think this unit is perfectly compatible with my 2018 rx350. Could you please let me know more detailed specifications about this unit? For example, I want to know what android version of this unit and memory size.
Our kit is not ran by Android. It uses native carplay and android auto and is operated from your phone operating system. This differentiates our kit compared to the other systems
Hi eric, I just installed this and everything looks great. Is there a way we can make it go to CarPlay automatically instead of the default screen, when starting up.
If anyone wonders how much time will it take realistically for a DIY person (I do everything myself, electrical engineering background) who does it for the first time, I've measured it yesterday and it takes 1 whole day. If everything goes smoothly and you know what you are doing you can compress it to about 1 hour, but all that if things go well. Sometimes a cable just wont go the right way (especially connecting the boxes to the display), or there's a struggle of putting some panel back to its place without breaking anything. Or there's a decision point on where do you put the USB cable and you need to come up with a good solution. Or your extender is either too short or too long when approaching some nut. Beat-Sonic warn multiple times that extra care should be taken in order not to break things, as everything is very fragile. I took care, I didn't break anything, took me 1 full day, including reading materials and watching 3 different videos, as all of them miss some steps or show case a slightly different solution -- they keep changing them all the time. I used the wireless solution manufactured before September 1, 2023. Very happy with the result, everything works as advertised, +rep to Beat-Sonic.
Thank you for your feedback! We are continuing to come up with better ways to install the kit and may be changed a few steps. Glad everything is working for you
Eric, I have a heads-up display in 2018 RX, which shows the navigation steps from the car's navigation + other stuff. Once I install this product, will that continue to work? If so, will it get the details from this device?
I’m interested to buy but I’m wondering jf there is any latency delay in the Bluetooth audio when streaming video with the wireless carPlay connected ?
Carplay doesn’t play videos. Our device doesn’t have any latency delay in Bluetooth audio. Our smartphone mirroring also does not have any latency delay in audio when mirroring video content. Here is our phone mirroring solution www.beatsonicusa.com/if04ep.html/

Couple questions. In my Mercedes I have Android auto and I have a dongle for wireless which allows me to put in an SD card with video which I can have my passengers watch while on trips or whatever. Do you have this capability with your wireless? Also the wireless dongle that plugs into a USB cable has the ability to watch RUclips and Netflix which I'm guessing this system or any system you sell does not am I wrong? Thanks for any answers you can give me.
@@BeatSonicUS okay I was just wondering if it had a USB cable to do that. And I'm guessing it can be located in the glove box or some other convenient location. I just didn't know how the wireless part worked on the kit. Because the dongle handles the wireless and the SD card Thanks for the answer.

This 100% is not worth the price in the slightest. I bought a new head unit with apple and andriod auto that has an OEM finish and works flawlessly for $800 for my other car. How an apple carplay and andriod auto adapter for an already great head unit is beyond me.
Holy cow. Got it working eventually but this is an absolutely terrible setup if you are trying to swap the CarPlay between phones. I don’t even know if it’s possible without restarting the vehicle etc. DO NOT BUY IF YOU PLAN ON USING DIFFERENT DEVICES
