Appears to just be the OEM anti glair coating. It just shows up like that on camera from some angles I think.

Carlinkit Wireless carplay Interface for Lexus NX/ES/UX/is/CT/RX/GS/LS/LX/LC/RC carplay Stereo Retrofit
Amazon Amazon


Is this the one you're talking about ? Is this more expensive because it has wireless carplay or just because Amazon?

Did you order yours from Amazon or AliExpress.

Also is it easy to use with Joystick Control?

You should make a new thread for that unit. It will make it a lot easier for people to find info on. It seems like a great alternative for people with incompatible set ups.

Posting it in here, it’ll eventually get buried by future posts for 10.25 screen questions. This thread is already 100 pages deep and most new viewers might not want to flip through the pages lol

Yeah I agree. If I had the OEM 10.25 with Nav screen, I’d stick with it but would want the this unit for the CarPlay upgrade.

The Android unit to replace the 7” screen is a definite must have imo. That and a tune for the 8AR-FTS models.

Looks like you got scammed. Open a dispute with aliexpress if you still can.


BTW my supplier sent me a new updated file to upgrade the screen and now I have a button which you can see on the left side in the middle which is like a menu button, I can move it around anywhere, also my mileage was displaying incorrectly and this update sorted it out and the unit seems quicker

I have the same version. I also bought in 2019. Unfortunately 5.1.1.
I was wondering if there is update.zip - Android 6 or 7 for this generation (2/32) of unit. I did not find.

4x4 Shop sent me the update to Android 7.1 assuming you bought it from them they will send you the update.
