I am so sick of dealing with this aftermarket CarPlay stuff...we all know that CarPlay should have been standard on Lexus models long ago and at least supported in software upgrades but of course not. My LSailt worked 'ok' every now and then but always had abysmal call quality, like useless, so when listening to music and a call comes in you better grab your phone and turn off the BT and Wifi. Very crappy experience however it appears as everyones call quality stinks on this aftermarket stuff. I'm done and tired of dealing with it. Ordered a new X7 today and may look at the LQ in the future but right now I'm really hating the "Lexus Experience."

On another note, congrats on the X7. It is an AWESOME vehicle and a huge upgrade from the RX. May very well be my next vehicle.

I feel ya. Although I still have both the RX and GX in my stable, but I've recently purchased the Aviator just so I don't have to tinker with tech mods to the Lexuses. The LSAIT mod isn't really reliable at all. I'm running latest version but still having frequent crashes, calling problems, etc... You are right, "Lexus Experience" sucks right now.

Those only work with aftermarket android head units already installed in the car. You need to install a device like the following I installed in mine to get CarPlay and this one is wireless

I originally wanted to go with the Lsailt unit as they were the first to have the wireless carplay. I was on Facebook Messenger with Lsailt asking a few questions, etc and that was the only mode of communication and had to wait a day or two for response. Eventually went with GROM as they had wireless carplay support. Been using it for a week and has been pretty straightforward and a breeze to use. They are from California, I had an issue with the unit they sent and they immediately shipped a replacement with return shipping label for the faulty unit.

Hey all - I'm getting my 2016 RX350 (with luxury pkg and 12.3" Nav + ML audio) this weekend. Without reading through a thousand responses, could some recommend the best way to add CarPlay? I don't need a standalone android tablet and am okay with wired CarPlay. I would be open to wireless CarPlay if it works well.
It looks like the best option is the Grom Vlite? Is that still true, or would people recommend the Lsailt or a different option?
