This looks interesting for anyone who wishes to upgrade the outdated infotainment system

Looks good! Now @peasodos @eddie420 would one of you guys please do this mod and write up your how-to and review so I can follow? Pretty please 😊

A member on the GS forums already installed it. Too many issues for me to install it on mine lol.

Thanks Eddie, bummer about all the issues, but looks like GROM is actively fixing all the problems.
Hopefully they will work out the backup camera issue soon.
I'm really missing Pandora ever since Lexus took it away back in November.
What a stupid decision, that's really the only thing I use the OE Infotainment system for.
I know I can still use BT, but it's not the same experience (i.e. can't quickly browse artist/tracks)

Yeah, I hear you. I will probably get the GROM once they fix the bugs but for now, I will live with what I have LOL.

Not to hijack this thread but I've installed an iPhone mirroring kit from Beatsonic and works quite well. I'm not affiliated with them, just a happy customer.

I upgraded my 2013 head unit to 2015 and happy with it. Not interested in aftermarket head unit.

Where did you get the 2015, a junkyard? Can you just swap it?

Yes, searched through car-parts.com for junkyard deals.

See my thread for more info:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...013-gsh-3.html

For the install all you need is the 2015 head unit:
This wire that connects from the back of the head unit to back of the 12.3" display(lexus changed the plug from prior years the car harness has wrong plug) :
The only way to get this is to pick it of a 2015+ wiring harness.
Asking $40, to help recoupe the costs on my end.


Then all you need is 2x of these antenna adapter wires for GPS and satellite radio connections.:
