I use carplay for navigation and some other apps, but have always just preferred my audio run through either Lexus BT, or music I have on USB drives (connected to my center console usb ports, not the android usb port), and control everything with the steering wheel controls
Maybe I'm weird, but I have always preferred it this way lol

This is so confusing. I can’t get it to play normally. A couple of times I have selected Bluetooth in the Lexus screen, gone to CarPlay and it continues to play. But on AUX, I cannot get it to play at all. It plays but with no audio rather. WiFi is seemingly connected. This is so frustrating!!!! Why can’t these units just freaking work?!

Localhost name might be different on your system this is what Lexion uses. Which app comes with 4x4 for CarPlay zlink or Autokit?

Dojoman is a wizard with these units, so listen to him over me, I was trying to help but as I have never used carplay for audio, I was just guessing the best things to try and I prolly made this more confusing then it needed to be lol, but this does sound like a simple case of finding the right settings and nothing wrong with the unit.

Also I see you change back and forth between CarPlay and Lexus IS when selecting speakers, but you will not hear music when your input was switched to Aux and change your speaker to Lexus IS, if you want to hear music switch input back to Bluetooth. Lexus IS speakers are only for BT.
In BT you will not hear any audio from Waze or any other audio from your system only AUX can. Including Siri responses. That’s why I only use AUX exclusively too bad it’s not working for you.

Right on, I guess that makes sense, as I mentioned I am not the best person to answer this particular issue as I have never used my android unit for audio.
I use carplay for navigation and some other apps, but have always just preferred my audio run through either Lexus BT, or music I have on USB drives (connected to my center console usb ports, not the android usb port), and control everything with the steering wheel controls

Just glancing at the map when needed is all I need out of nav, it also helps that I have an apple watch that vibrates to alert me when something is coming up that needs my action.

Your Bluetooth works when connected to Lexus I can hear the music, then you switched to Aux and switched your speakers to CarPlay destination, no sound. Try this in Aux, pause the music and then play again. Sometime there is a glitch but I doubt this will fix it. Or have you try switching the input to A/V instead of Aux? My 4x4 audio works on both inputs. I have a hunch you need to short the wire I showed earlier very likely 4X4 hasn’t fix this problem and it only affects certain cars. Send them the pic. Sorry I could not help further. Btw, does the joystick work in CarPlay?
Also I see you change back and forth between CarPlay and Lexus IS when selecting speakers, but you will not hear music when your input was switched to Aux and change your speaker to Lexus IS, if you want to hear music switch input back to Bluetooth. Lexus IS speakers are only for BT.

I was just changing back to Lexus to show that audio does play audio, so it isn't a plug not connected or something. When I change to AUX, nothing plays, no alerts, no audio period, through CarPlay or Android. I did try the pause, and replay again and that didn't work. This sucks!!!

Moreover, the audio that Spotify/Apple Music would play on would be "local host" rather than "Carplay". Like I said, it may be different for you but that is how my unit was.

This might sound incredibly stupid as I've had no hands-on experience with this system yet, and I apologize in advance... but... has anyone tried adjusting the volume separately when in Carplay?
I only ask because sometimes the volume for the OEM and bluetooth will adjust independently. I've experienced this with other cars before. Example: you can have the volume up at 20 in OEM, bluetooth might be at 0, and still the Android system's volume might be at 15. Just a thought.
Same here. I have the voice turned off in Waze and Google maps. I just need the occasional chime to remind me to glance at the map when I'm approaching a turn or an on/off ramp.

That is a common complaint about using it the way I do, but that is another area where I am weird, I do not like directions being voiced, always muted them even before android.
