Integration into the original Lexus navigation screen
Lexus RX, NX, UX, CT, LS, ES, GS, LC, IS and RC Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Retrofit 2013–2019
Add wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to a compatible Lexus while retaining the original navigation display, dashboard appearance and factory controller.
The retrofit module works independently from the original navigation system. Navigation, music, calls, messages and supported smartphone apps appear on the factory screen, and one long button press switches between the Lexus menu and the new interface.
Different Lexus models use different joystick, touchpad and rotary-controller connections. The vehicle model, year and controller type must all be selected correctly when ordering.
