I just got a 2019 f sport a couple weeks back but CarPlay was already installed by previous owner. I believe the dealer cost to install is $200. There’s the beatsonic version, but it looks like it acts the same but primarily for NXs that cannot upgrade to CarPlay (and it costs more). The other one, which I am considering last of all my mods, would be the 10.25 touchscreen. Newest version is $500-$800 depending on where you buy from. My opinion is that the CarPlay installed by dealer is a good value. It’s wired connection, so you still have to use the mouse pad. I trained myself to use Siri voice command as much as possible, so I rarely use the mouse pad.

did you check the setting? You have to enable Carplay in the setting for carplay to work.
I did check yes the option isn’t there. Was told they have to install a chip of some sort. I figured it would be a software add on. Didn’t see it on the build sheet either. However it definitely is compatible.
There is no hardware difference. I added to my 2018 NX using a downloaded file I had found a link to. Saved $200 compared to what dealer was charging, which was a ripoff.
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.

Thank you. Care to share how you went about doing this? I’m very tech savvy, I’ve googled this numerous times but haven’t found much about it.
