Hey joejoejoe, many thanks for your reply.
At least it's not that disheartening to know that I'm not the only one experiencing this nightmare issue;
Just sucks that after already paying the install shop significant money to install the Lsailt unit just over a month ago,
I gotta pay more to the install shop to rip out the unit from my passenger footwell ( where it's installed ) and re-install again.
I have gone thru the EXACT same process you described with Cosmo and his engineer, upgrading the MCU by passcode "2020" and updating the app by passcode "1630."
Nothing worked, I still have no physical Lexus mouse control, and the nearby physical "Map," "Menu," "up", "down" & "back" arrow buttons,
besides the on-screen mouse cursor gone completely missing in both Lexus AND Lsailt menu screens.
This is in addition to me still unable to select, enter, nor see, both the "media selection" and "navigation" menus, on my speedometer menu itself;
when I use the right hand side steering wheel controls. The rest of the speedometer menus like triptometer, cruise-control, etc still work for at least for now, thankfully.
The great news is, Cosmo has shipped out a new replacement Lsailt main box and what I believe to be the T-harness ( which supplies power to the Lsailt main box ),
with the condition that I'd need to ship my current Lsailt main box back to China at my own cost.
Kudos to Cosmo specifically, who's honorably offered me his sales commission on the Lsailt sale as his PERSONAL, partial compensation;
For the shipping cost back to China, after his manager's insistence that shipping cost back to China is NOT covered by the company.
So now I play the waiting game for the replacement Lsailt box and harness to arrive, and hope and pray that they last longer than one month after install.
Thanks again for your valuable input, joejoejoe.
Hope my post helps the other members here too.

Hello:
I'm hoping someone would be able to help me here.
I recently purchased and installed a Nauturbo aftermarket CarPlay module in my 2017 RX 350. Everything seems to work fine except when I'm navigating in the CarPlay interface using the Lexus joystick, it also interacts with my original Lexus interface. For example, if I moved the joystick around in the CarPlay module interface, and make selections, it also interacts with whatever is being controlled on the Lexus interface. This is extremely annoying as it would unknowingly change settings in the Lexus interface. I tried changing the DIP switch settings, reconnecting all cables and nothing seems to work. The Nauturbo seller has been very responsive but they cannot figure it out either. Is my unit defective?

What do you guys recommend as far as the best aftermarket module?
Thank you in advance.

AM/FM Radio and CarPlay audio at same time?
With the RoadTop or Grom is it possible to listen to FM radio plus get audio from CarPlay, like turn by turn instructions from Apple Maps/Waze at the same time? I’m guessing since you have to be on AUX the answer is no? Vehicles with factory CarPlay will let you listen to radio while getting CarPlay audio like directions and Siri at the same time.

Well, technically yes, but realistically no.
You can set Google maps to play sound notification as Bluetooth phone calls so, it should pause your radio and play the google maps sounds through the cars bluetooth.
I have that set up, but it's not working 99% of the time.
You could see CarPlay and listen to radio though.

I connect the phone Bluetooth to both the car and Roadtop. I setup iPhone to connect to headset, which by design should force calls to the car, but most of the time Roadtop still takes the call which means that the source has to be on AUX in order to hear the other party. I can pickup with steering wheel, but sounds still goes to Roadtop on AUX.
It is frustrating at times.

Aftermarket Carplay for Rx 350?
Is there any sort of aftermarket accessory that will enable Carplay in a 2017 Rx? I know there are devices to enable wireless Carplay, but I'm simply looking for something that will allow me to use it.
Thank you
Thank you

Now, to answer your question, this has been discussed extensively in this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-...017-rx350.html

so I installed the roadtop. I dont think this roadtop receiver issue. The unit itself works really well. Very minor problem is I do hear engine sound through AUX port. This is very minor as it's barely noticeable, only when driving slow speed and no music playing. I think it's installation issue. I saw two ground wires and I thought they had to be connected to ground, so I combined two ground wires that was coming from roadtop unit and wired to the metal frame on the right side of the radio unit. I think this is the problem, but what else was I supposed to do? any suggestions?

Contact them through WhatsApp. They are really good at responding to issues and coming up with a solution. They helped me out several times for my installation.
I don't hear the engine in AUX or bluetooth.
My only issue is that Iphone randomly sends calls to cars bluetooth and next time to head set then another time to Carplay that is only on Aux.
