I have a 2018 NX 300 and the dealer upgraded the system with CarPlay at not charge during a service visit.

Can Apple carplay be added to a 2017 RX350 premium model?

We just bought a 2018 NX; dealer will install Apple CarPlay on Tuesday, at no charge. Will report back on the experience.

Go to into the menu and enable Apple Car play. You'll see it in the options of the navi vehicle settings. Then once you do that when you click back into the main menu button you should see Apple Car play dead center in the menu screen. Plug your phone in and click Apple Car play. Done and enjoy.

Can you please help me out as well? I am so disappointed that my 2019 NX300 is not Apple Carplay ready.... I bought it 2 days ago, used.

Might want to have a conversation with a service advisor at a Lexus dealer. They might do it next time you bring in for service.

Go to Google.
Type in Lexus Apple CarPlay upgrade Toyota Nation.

The thread is like 50-60 pages long and it goes into all the detail of where to get the files and how to do the upgrade.

Takes an hour. Super easy to do. Just follow the directions in the thread exactly and you won't have issues.
