It's ridiculous of Lexus to not bring the 10 to 12 models to the level of 13. I can get the hardware is the same. Just a different FW.

It’s actually a totally different radio even though the screens are the same. The 10-12 have the processor for the radio In the back of the center console, while the 13-15 have it up front. The 13-15 is allot more modern and you can setup the beatsonics cellphone mirroring. I don’t remember the specifics of what changed but I know the 13-15 was a big upgrade performance wise.

I agree that the system looks much modern but the heart of those systems could be the same or very little difference. Lexus chose not to update the 10 to 12 to create demand for new models.
The 10 to 12 have the Nav split capability but just not for Audio? That's ridiculous that a FW/Software update couldn't get it done.

I’m telling you it’s not it’s way different. I originally wanted to do the cellphone mirroring and watched allot of videos and read allot about the Lsalit units. There was a big hardware upgrade in the 2013 even though it’s the same screen. Likely the same way that on the 2020 RX they came out with apple play but the older 2019 weren’t compatible because the processor / operating system couldn’t handle it. Honestly I wish it was the same head unit so that I could install a beat sonic screen mirroring device. Lexus will always be one generation behind everyone else with there headunits/ gauges so we get what we get. Think about it last year was the first year the RX got apple car play, the 100K LX and the GX don’t even offer car play. Kias made apple CarPlay standard pretty much across the board in 2014.

You're right that the hardware might be different but not by a lot. I can tell you that had Lexus wanted to give a little more capability to the 10 to 12 models they could have. Display information including split screen with Audio could be entirely doable. It's already there as an option but just not for Audio.

Does an update give this ability? Thanks.

On my lexus 2013 rx350, i have it set at half map and half audio.
( if i remember), there is a button on the nav. screen call "MAP MODE". Click on that and pick your option.
