No intention of hi jacking the thread but how did you add the carplay?

Hi coolbrazz. I’ve been following the carplay thread but it seems like all optional are buggy. I was just curios because I’ve seen units where they replace he whole screen but there is no review yet. Thanks.

If you find something start a new thread and share with the forum.
Others here may be interested...

I have been also looking and I found this. Not sure if this will work. Has anybody in this forum tried this?

I don’t believe it replaces the screen, just adds CarPlay/android auto to existing screen. I have it it works fine with my
normal larger screen.

Default Apple Car Play Added to 2017 RX

Do you know if Lexus can add Apple Car Play to our 2017 RX? Or do you recommend any aftermarket?

No; Lexus will not add apple CarPlay to a 2017

Have you not read the thread that you posted in for an aftermarket recommendation?

She really would like to use CarPlay instead. However, she’s not very technically savvy and third party solutions that are overly wonky or buggy will probably just make things worse.

What would you suggest we do?
1) get an aftermarket CarPlay solution. Is there one you’d recommend?
2) just live with what we have. My guess is this will only be viable for a year or two
3) trade in now to get a newer Lexus with CarPlay support (obviously not a preferred option)

its pretty crazy how important this one little feature has become for overall car experience, but I’m trying to figure out if any of the third party solutions work well and are idiot proof.

I just had this BeatSonic AA/CP infotainment upgrade installed on my 2013 GS 350 yesterday. In short I LOVE it. Total game changer. $749 and worth every dollar. Apps work great. audio sound is good and no glitches so far. Unfortunately they are out fo stock right now, but I would email them about when they will be getting more. Also their customer service is on point. My installer had a question and called them yesterday and they actually called him back on a weekend. I am in no way affiliated with BS just a very happy customer.
