i’ll find some time to record the video. But it’s literally just turn the car on, go to the android interface, and plug in your phone. Bum done! The autoplay (the app for carplay) app support wired mirroring . There is another app for wireless mirroring, but the phone will run hot.
for those built-in app in android, you just connect the box to the iphone’s personal hotspot (or your portable hotspot). They are apps in Android, so run exact the same way as on an Android tablet/phone. It just needs wifi for downloading data.

Just placed the order, now it's the waiting game.
Can't believe all of you use iPhone, why no one give Android some love

one last thing (a really great point) now when you enter the android system through media/AUX pathway on Lexus interface, all sounds go through the car speakers and your calls go through the car mic exactly as you woukd if you were connecting through Bluetooth.... no need to connect the system through bluetooth to get those features.... and the sound is amazing!!!!

Is there any trick to using Aliexpress the first time? They don't really seem to be interested in new customers. In order to use their site for ordering, I need to submit a picture of an ID and pictures of "at least one set of payment card and the bank statement." I can't say that I'm real excited about supplying that kind of stuff to a Chinese site.
Is there anywhere else to order this?

I didn't have to do any of that? I signed up via the phone app and it was pretty easy. Though my credit card denied the first try and I had to re-submit the order after informing them it was legit and to expect it.
Seller quickly asked for a pic from my car showing screen and joystick to ensure he got me shipped the right unit. so far so good.

Couple questions while I wait for my package to come:
1) Have you tried wireless carplay mode? I'll assume this isn't going to work but that would be icing on the cake...
2) What integration to the car does android have? I saw one of your pics showed climate control settings from within the settings menu but not if they could be changed or not?
Can't wait to get mine and play.

2. Yah it actually reflects the A/C status (not sure how). The only thing it won’t change is the temperature (it always shows LOW). The other A/C info is useful such as fan speed, A/C on/off/auto, cabin air or outside air...
