Just finished installing this myself, having never done any sort of car-work before, your youtube video was a lifesaver! Super easy to follow and I was able to install everything without any issue. Thanks again for the awesome product and support!
Hello, i am having an issue with my ct200h 2015. After I disassembled everything, i noticed the cable on the carplay module wasn't correct. After that, i did not finish the install of the module but assembled everything back together. When i turned off the car the radio was not working. Everything is well connected but it wont work. I read online that the radio dies after disconnecting the Battery, perhaps it's the same issue. Does anybody have a solution?
Can't wait to get this when you get it back in stock. I am getting my 2016 CT200h F sport tomorrow! Can one use a 90 degree hdmi cable for the connection to the box and other device? Seems like it would take up way less space of stuff sticking out plug the way the 90 degree angle would be you could stress relief the cable. I was going to do this but wanted to check to make sure the supplied HDMI cable doesn't have to be used and as long as a quality 90 degree hdmi would be fine.
You did am exemplary job on this video. Really great and detailed instruction, helped me a lot with the process, thank you! 😀 On the other hand I'm having some issues because controls and video work flawlessly, but audio doesn't seem to work: aux input (which is the suggested one) only streams a continuous flow of static noises, with just the slightest glimpse of audio very very far in the background. Really don't know where to put my hands in order to fix this :l
Hi @@Thomas-cs8nl , yes I fixed it. First of all, keep in mind that I do not have the exact same android auto box as this one, but a fairly comparable model. The issue as far as I've understood it was that Lexus CT's aux channel is not well grounded, and/or is grounded together with the USB port, resulting in electric noise rendering the channel almost unusable for transmitting audio frequencies. Now, check if your android auto box has one or more cables coming out that are labeled GROUND: I'm giving no insurance here as I'm not a professional electrician, but what I personally did was hooking up one of the GROUND cables with a simple 3.5mm jack to the aux-in port of the car: bam, just like that I immediately got crystal clear sound.
@@RiccardoC Thank you so much for your help. That was it! I connected the AUDIO GND cable of my Carplay box to the AUX port of the car (connecting it to the chassis of the car works as well) and BAM… sound! Awesome!
@@BeatSonicUS will do, I’m buying a 2013 gs350 tomorrow and if everything goes smoothly I will order the unit and send you and email for best install shop in Austin. Thanks for such a fast response.
Does this get CarPlay updated via your phone, or the interface module? For example - if Apple releases a future CarPlay update via an OS update will I see it, or is the interface module stuck on whichever version it was programmed with?
One year warranty. Yes it will survive 110+ degrees easily. Volume and phone pick up will work on steering wheel. Seek will not work on steering wheel. Yes it will charge while using AA.
What a great product! How to be sure if my Lexus CT200H F-sport (2015-11) is compatible? Also, my Lexus interface control system is not that square mouse, it's a round wheel, will it works too? Finally, I live in France, if you know a dealer who can make the installation, I don't feel comfortable to do it myself. Thanks!
Hello, Will this work on a 2014 CT200h with the factory display with no navigation sd card plugged in? Or would I need to buy the navigation sd card for it to work? It has the navigation display just no Nav sd card.
@@BeatSonicUS I think what he was asking is will the “loading data” screen that appears when there is no sd card inserted interrupt the CarPlay. I would also like to know because replacing it is expensive.
@@BeatSonicUS Why isn't it compatible? Is it because of the control mouse, the nav screen? I can buy these off salvaged cars and make it work I browsed a lot for something that would be great for my car, everything is bad for my 2011 CT (Cheap aliexpress/alibaba headunits, android auto boxes, etc..)

khurram41 few reasons: resolution is not as good since VTR is analog and we used digital GVIF for this kit, the factory controls won’t be able to function and you’ll have use an aftermarket remote, and you will also need video in motion controller.
You are correct, using the voice command would be faster, which is also available on out kit. All you would have to do is press the mic button on the screen.

@@BeatSonicUS Are you going to make a model compatible to the prior model 11-13? I didn't know there was a difference really between the 2. Unless I get a factory head unit from the 14-17 model years and swap it out with the one in my 2012 model?
