Default Android Auto in a 2013 GS

So I just recently picked up a 2013 GS 350 F sport and am looking to add android auto into it.

I've heard mixed stories about the beat sonic kit and android auto.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/29382229190...8aAoavEALw_wcB

This kit seems to support wireless android auto which since I have a pixel 4 is relevant to me.

Anyone have any luck with a kit off ebay like this?

Can someone recommend me a kit? I'd rather pay a bit more and have something that works well then cheap out and have a meh kit.

I have this. called carlinkit, doesn't work correctly on 2013-2015 lexus GS meant for 2016+ nav with full screen maps. Long thread on it here:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...for-319-a.html

Only reason it works for my 2013 GS is because I changed the screen and the head unit to 2016. Wireless Carplay is amazing, automatically connects to my phone and loads carplay after I turn the car on, takes 10-15 seconds, faster if I recently turned the car off.

See my post in the other thread regarding the carlinkit install on my 2013 GS: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...l#post11135280

I have the Lsailt unit. Works great as it sandbox the aftermarket interface from interfering with the OEM interface that plagued a few users using the carlinkit on the 13-15 models.

I also have wireless AA thanks to an app from the google play store.
