Unfortunately I don't think this would be possible, not easily at least.

Think of it this way, this unit is just a modified tablet with andriod OS on it that replaces your screen. It is not a stereo. This units harness ties into the inputs on your factory OEM stereo, and as such can add some extra inputs (usb, ect) but it does not tie into outputs. The only output on the harness is the video feed line to the screen.

You will need a line out converter, something like this:.

or even better, something like this:

Many other options out there too, you can either order something online, or go into just about any car audio place and they will have what you need, it's not expensive to add rca outputs to an OEM stereo.

Looking for feedback and install. I got the og 1st gen and considering upgrade as the headunit feeling kinda sluggish.
I am interested in this as well. I have the 2nd Gen and did not like the quality of the screen. They're advertising the 3rd gen with a "1920 x 720 HD Anti-Glare Blue Screen" If the quality of the screen is better, I may consider upgrading.

hello everyone, I have some questions that I hope are easy solutions. I searched the thread but was not able to find my answers. If they have been replied to previously then please accept my apologies.

1- Is there a way to not have the screen tell me when I open my doors or trunk? The little car image that pops up is annoying.
2- is there a way to disable the temperature controls on the screen? for some reason it intermittently displays the temp even if I do not make any adjustments. Can it be a lose connection?
3- Sometimes when I use wireless apple carplay, the screen will go black. Has anyone experienced that?
4- Is there a way to use factory Bluetooth by default when making and receiving calls? Is there also a way to use factory sound outputs when playing audio from the Android side? I tried the automations mentioned in this thread but was not successful

thank you!.

My phone keeps restarting when i try to use the dongle to connect to android auto. It consistently and repetitively reboots unless i unplug it.. so essentially i can't access my android auto Autokit which is kind of a bummer since that's what i mainly use.

IS anyone else having troubles with this? Is there a new software update for you guys with the 10.25 4x4unit screen?

Running a '16 IS300.

Default Audio from nav guidance and radio - at the same time?

Hi all
Considering buying this unit - can someone describe for me what happens if I am listening to the radio (from what I read here, radio runs on the original Lexus, right?) and run navigation (like Google Maps or Waze) - can I hear the navigation guidance? Would it mute the radio while giving directions?
Also - I understood from reading the thread that you are supposed to pair your phone via bluetooth to the HU (and not to the OEM system) - in this case, what happens if I play the radio and get a call - is the radio muted?

Audio from Android system only comes through AUX input so if you’re listening to OEM radio you will not hear any audio from Waze. I have my phone paired to oem system Bluetooth it works the same way as before your calls will come though oem and radio will be muted.

There are several versions of the unit on the market. Some have a small external speaker - and if you choose Waze as your default navigation app - you'll hear navigation notifications while listening to OEM Radio.

I just got a new iphone and I'm trying to figure out CarPlay but i can't seem to get my phone to pair using autokit consistently.

Are there settings I need to play with in order to get my phone paired on? I sat in my car for like an hour waiting for it to pair to carplay but it couldn't detect my systems, it was able to detect my girlfriends iphone though.. i have iphone 12 pro max.

i Initially got it to connect and chose to restart the Bluetooth cache because i was annoyed it wouldn't automatically connect to carplay, i would have to manually connect to the autokit bluetooth. I then chose to forget the autokit bluetooth pairing but now it won't reappear.

Can anyone give guidance?

I would try removing the existing AutoKit under My Devices in your Bluetooth; then redo the setup again.

I did that and that’s where the problem is, I can’t find autokit on my Bluetooth or even see it appear on my CarPlay on my iPhone. It’s not detecting it.
