Default Apple CarPlay Upgrade

Hey everyone!

I have a 2018 Lexus IS-300 F Sport and I really want to add Apple CarPlay to it! However, 2018 was the last year before Apple CarPlay additions could be added to Lexus cars. What are the possible solutions to fixing this problem? I would prefer it to be on the dashboard display. Thank you ✊

Beatsonic is one of the better options out there. Did this kit for my ‘15 IS350 F Sport.

2021 was the first year of Carplay from the factory on the IS.

I have owned several Carplay units and by far, Beat Sonic S-Connect is the best solution for our cars. I did a writeup on a few of the different units that you can find on here. If you want the closest to factory with the highest call and audio quality, go with the Beat Sonic S-Connect.

I've had the Lexion unit in my car for three years with no issues. https://lexionautomotive.com/
