Since Lexus doesn't look like it's going to be releasing an Apple CarPlay / Android Auto update for us ES owners, I was looking into some options and I recently came across a USB dongle featured on Redmond pie. Most of them are now offering wireless support which would be an awesome upgrade for $100 or so.

BUT, I'm a bit skeptical and would hate to brick my entire multimedia system.. and yes I know beat sonic has a kit available ($600) but its quite expensive for most of us lol!

Any success with these dongles on our cars?

Requires an android head unit, which the ES does not have. Might work with one of the Chinese replacement screens that have android built in. At that point you are paying as much or more than the beatsonic. Unfortunately, I don't think there is a cheaper route to Android Auto or Apple CarPlay in the 6ES. Grom might have something for the earlier 6ES, but probably a similar price. I would be really shocked if Lexus ever offered such an update.

Bummer man.. hopefully someone comes up with a more cost-effective alternative.
