Lexion Carplay & Android Auto Display for all Lexus models
#152
I know this is an IS thread but I'm pretty sure installation is just the same as almost all the lexus line up. I currently have a 2016 lexus NX and I got the lexion kit. I cant find any installation instructions and I want to install it. The thing is that I do not know which plug goes where. I see more plugs unused than used. I've installed the beatsonic before so I know some parts go where but this is a bit different. Anyone care to share me your installation instructions so I can reference it over? Been trying to reach lexion for days with no response yet. Their diagram shows only a vague installation, but i see more plugs than just colored lines and boxes.

I messaged Lexion Automotive on Facebook and got a response fairly quickly. https://www.facebook.com/lexionautomotive/

Installing this at the moment.. quick can someone tell me what the blue green and red vga outputs coming out the screen are for? There’s also a yellow camera vga male connector on a different cable that is unused..
so far everything is going smooth, there was two cables one for touchscreen and one for mouse trackpad so hopefully the mouse works on CarPlay because the touchscreen is just too far. If anyone has any questions let me know

For those that have the Lexion unit, will you please download the app "Device HW Info" and report back on the actual specs of this unit? I am curious whether it actually has the SOC they claim, and whether it's actually 8.1. I have a unit similar to the 4x4 screen for my RC, and am considering upgrading to the Lexion. If the Lexion can provide the following, I will order it asap: better sound output (my unit has lots of noise), functions with the RC touchpad as a mouse pointer on the Android side (not Android Auto), and hopefully system Bluetooth that allows me to connect to an OBD module for logging, etc.
I have screenshots on that post

Can someone tell me what is the resolution on Lexion head unit? I saw in original Eric's post it was 1920x1080, and now Eric has told me it is 1280x640.
Is 1280x640 sharp enough? Have they changed screen resolution spec recently?

looks fine, have nothing to compare it to but everything works great, installing an ergo touchpad soon. Tried a Bluetooth USB adapter but of course it doesn’t work on Android. Carplay work fine, Android not much experience with it. Still playing around with it. No Bluetooth so some apps don’t work. WiFi works great but can’t be used with carplay at the same time.

That's interesting, I didn't realize there is no Bluetooth (weird - this would have been so simple to add BT to the board). Also surprising BT USB adapter doesn't work. Which apps don't work due to no BT?
It makes since CarPlay cannot be used wit WiFi since you either use phone's own connection or hotspot headunit to your phone.
Since I am Android user, it sounds like I can play music (like YouTube Music or SoundCloud) either directly from android unit (tether to WiFi first), via Android Auto or go back to OEM system and play via factory Bluetooth (that option sucks though due to need to use factory UI)
Is there anybody who used this unit with Android Auto and has experience to share? My understanding that CarPlay works great but unfortunately I don't intend on using it.
