Hey, I have a Lexus 460 2012 and wanted apple car play added for maps.
Do you know of a way to listen to the maps voice prompts whilst listening to music at the same time? Thx

Make sure it lists wireless CarPlay, theres a dongle that comes with it.

Only certain apps are supported by CarPlay. You can control other apps with Siri but not all your apps will display

$800 may be a lot, but it's cheaper than trading in the car to get something else that has these features (at a higher purchase price likely). Plus the 4th gen LS quiet and comfortable ride is hard to replicate. If it's a car you plan to keep for a while, $800 is well worth it.

It seems the cost of entry for these devices are around $500-550 + install. If I was buying a car that was planning to have for 4-5 years, it would be worthy investment but, it was just a little pricey after install.
There is no conformation that these will officially work in a 2010-2012... As it does not look like a 2013-2014 is going to fit in the budget this time around

Looking over AliExpress, The only one is 7.1 Carplay and Auto is $660 + $24.26 for shipping..(or advanced one for $690). Is this the one you ordered ? Seeing how this is closer to $700. How does this all compare to the Beat-Sonic as this one is $599 and you would get it a lot sooner ?

I did find the part number for the AliExpress version last night, I did a google search for the part number and I found a place that if you by 5 of them, they were $399.99.. A lot to confirm EXACTLY 100% but, if they could be had for $399 maybe someone should start a bulk buy ? At $399, I would jump on it right now

Mine is not the 7.1, its the previous version which has probably been phased out.

No clue on the Beat Sonic, I don't believe it will display properly in widescreen though, all the pictures Ive seen of it the image is stretched which is a total deal breaker for me.

As for the display not showing right, according to the thread that was posted, that was fixed with a update.
Now that would be a deal !

After Steve's glowing review and many more on the RX forums (71 pages as of today !), I was talking to Cosmo and I ordered the 7.1 version last night. I was given a good price that I was happy with.
Cosmo said it would be upgraded to Android 9.0, and it has built in wireless carplay/Android auto (I will plan to hard wire it though)
Really looking forward to getting it ! Android Auto here we come ! No more Waze screen burn in on my phone... Now I can get a new phone
