@@Kanbo11 You should make this reply a sticky so that more people can see it. Or maybe put it in the video description. It's gonna be the first question people will ask, so you may as well save yourself the headache of a brazillion people asking the same question, right?
Thanks so much for this video. It bugs the heck out of me not having Car Play in my 2012 CT w/ Nav (seems like we have the same year and model) since I got it. I have been searching aftermarket solution high and low for so long. I basically just gave up the idea. I have seen the same type of screen and even contacted one of its vendor before. But ended up not going for it, since reviews back then saying it was pretty buggy. Hopefully yours has latest firmware that resolved it. The other issue, I was hopping someone will come out another version of its trim. It's a touch screen. But the dash trim sits it back so far back, it's out of arms length. It kindda make it hard to use and defeat the purpose. If you find another dash trim that moves the screen forward, please do share. GREAT JOB!!!....THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Thank you for watching! Yea the screen isn't perfect but anything is better than the tiny screen. For the trim, there is none because there isn't room to move it up. With the wiring and etc it's not likely possible

Hey dude, I got the exact same one. I've had a few problems the voice call audio won't run through the lexus oem mic nor if i plug in an external mic to the unit, it seems to use the mic on the unit itself at the front of the screen, If the phone says Carplay out when I make a phone call the external party hears me all garbled, however if I use the lexus oem mic by selecting "Car multimedia" instead of carplay, it's ok, and usuable however when Im in carplay the music will stutter particuarly when in built up areas near wifi/bluetooth interference, its the oddest thing, I feel the oem bluetooth should be deactiviated but the voice calls are fine that way, it seems to be one thing or the other Any ideas, the seller in china doesn't know.
Say bro had a question, on your is Lexus when you installed you 10.5 inch screen can you play movies while car is In drive ? Or play RUclips videos while car is in motion ? great videos bro keep up the good work I’m a new subscriber do you know of any Lexus car meets in H-town
Hi thank you watching and subscribing. I appreciate it! For playing video and RUclips, it is possible by connecting your phone to the unit or using your phone as a hotspot for the unit. For car meets, look up neomeets on IG. Good meets. There’s one tomorrow for Fast X meet and Sunday. I will be there👍🏼. Come hang out
That’s really base on what you really want. I want a bigger screen but only way is replace screen so I have to buy aftermarket. If I only want CarPlay then I can get a module to use on OEM screen. So technically it is worth it because I can’t avoid the price unless bought used if that make sense 😅 sorry
I am not finding the link to the equipment - is this something you got from Aliexpress? I've been eyeing some of those, but it's hard to tell if they are any good
@@Kanbo11 It looks like the audio goes thru the Aux jack - how is that? I tried running my phone thru the Aux jack once just to test it out and the audio was super low. I've seen other people complain about the same thing in Lexus forums
Legend! Thank you! Couple questions, my back up camera is only using about half of the screen and has a Lexus logo on the side. How did you get it to display the full screen? Also has anyone added the Lexus logo for when the car starts up?
You have to go into something called BackUp Car or something like that in the unit. Basically settings for back up camera. I don’t remember which one it was but basically you can turn it off to do full screen
Is it possible to remove the old CD after installing this new screen? I see no need for it and would rather put a much needed storage compartment in its place. Also after using it for awhile, how come the left part is not installed flushed into the dash?...there is a gap on the left lower lip .....
You can’t remove the old cd. The screen is just an extension of the radio unit but with CarPlay. The trim not sitting flush it’s only for my part. The trim could be a bit off so it would pop up sometimes. I could modify it to make it fit but I’m too lazy to

Hello I have 2015 F Sport. With different monitor. My question- It Will work? I tried to buy sn android monitor but sellers mentioned that will not work if have original LCD monitor.
@mediaeasieruk I don’t think it’s possible. Head unit is the main thing that controls climate, radio and etc for your car. Main problem is harness and plug and system need to match your car
@@Kanbo11 thankyou thats very helpfull info. I wonder if I can but a new android head unit that has a secondary output, like an extension screen to replace my satnav top screen display.
Yes. With this or most unit, the audio source is from the aux plug from the wire harness they give you. They can not tap into the OEM source so this is the workaround. If you really don't care for it you can do the Bluetooth method in the video where you get audio for music but you can't hear any nonfiction or sounds from maps or etc.
Hi thanks for the video it helped a lot I did this install with the same system. Everything works good just rear view camera. I have set it to oem camera but when I put in reverse I get the image switch to oem unit bit the rear view camera isn’t engaging any ideas
@@luckselfy-jl5ko ok if I get a solution I’ll post it here please do the same. Otherwise looks like we will have to install a aftermarket rear view camera
Did u get a rear camera connector with yours as I had a little white connector with the composite input for that camera but that connector doesn’t fit anywhere not sure if it needs to be installed maybe but I think it’s for thirds party camera. I Can’t really get any contact to the manufacturer who would most likely be able to help us

Nope it can’t close unfortunately
You can always silicone it

When I installed my unit .you said to you the 2 oem plugs and not the big one.the blue one fit but the smaller one didn't.the only thing that if was the usb.but the usb is not working for me.can you tell me if i installed the usb right
Do you have two usb cord/plug from the harness or only one?
Can u please tell me if this is the 8 gb version and witch android now i saw also with 13 version from android what do u recomand thanks in advance
Hi I mentioned in the video that it is the 8g rams
I have the base model. What do u recommend?
You can still get the unit. As long as you mention what model you have to seller you are getting it from you should be good.
Damn, I had the same question!! Which screen model?!
You just have to tell the seller what model car you have. The screen is all the same but the wire harness is where it matter

can you do this to one without the navigation ?
Yes you can. There's a non nav version. Only thing is you would have to cut a hole where the screen would be
