Wireless Carplay Retrofit Kit Decoder Compatible with Lexus RX NX ES UX LS LX RC LC GS is Series 2014-2019 Year, Support Android Auto, Mirror Link, Backup Camera, YouTube, Original Car Function

Worked great on my 2017 RX350. The unit was relatively easy to install if you are confident in removing car panel pieces. Manual was missing a few bits of installation information but the seller (ninetom) was quick to respond to help with the installation. After a long trip with it and a few weeks of use, here are some things that I have learned about the unit. - Installation for my car with the remote touch joystick, OEM nav, and 12.3in screen required use of an extra cable that was in the box but not in the manual. The cable had to be plugged into the joystick in order to prevent the joystick from "clicking" on both the OEM screen and the CarPlay screen at once. Do not plug in the cable that draws extra power from the screen. - Movement on the CarPlay screen is limited to "left/right" and "page up/page down". This isn't the same navigation that you'd expect as on the OEM screen, so it takes a bit to get use to but it works relatively well once you understand it. I think it might be marginally better than the original system since you don't have to be as precise with the movements, but typing on it is a chore. - In order to get the steering wheel controls to work, you need to enable "no swap" on the steering wheel controls option in the menus. - I'm no audiophile but the audio sounds relatively okay on my Mark Levinson system out of the box and the display looks relatively crisp for a wireless connection. A little compression can be seen if you are looking closely but it is not an issue while driving. Overall it looks really nice on the large display. - Wireless CarPlay connects pretty quickly and reliably for my iPhone 12 mini on iOS 16.1.1.

Turns off and does not function. Will work for a few moments but will tick every single sensor on your car. This can destroy fuses and ecu modules. Terrible value. Bad quality. Does not fit models advertised. If you’re good with cars it’s easy to install but it does not function. This could cause random faults with sensors, random shut offs, and short circuit your computers.

Installation is not easy at all but the product works great and is half the price of similar items on the market. The device is quick and works really well. But have to emphasize how tough it is to install and that you have to pay attention to the instructions closely or your unit won’t function properly, had to spend 2 hours troubleshooting it.

UPDATE: The Road Top service dept was helpful and responsive. They issued a refund well after the refund window was closed. They updated the listing to clarify that the device is not intended for Lexus RX with navigation. Original: I installed this unit on our 2015 Lexus RX. Youtube videos from similar products helped greatly with the installation. With everything connected per instructions, the screen was mostly black with flashing horizontal white lines when the unit was active. When the DIP switches were set for a different vehicle, the unit actually displayed on the screen, but it was very glitchy, impossible to read, and definitely not something that could be set up or used. After checking and triple checking all connections and variations, I believe I received a defective unit. It was so close to a great solution, but this unit was a disappointment and waste of time. Road Top has many youtube videos to help with the installation - they are pretty useless. After waiting for a response from Road Top Customer Service for over 12 hours, I took the unit out and put the dashboard back together. I hope to hear from Road Top Customer Service at some point in the near future (I contacted them through their website and their customer support whatsapp number and provided proof of purchase, install photos, and videos showing the screen). I'm an experienced DIY installer and have worked with much more complicated systems in the past without the level of frustration experienced with this.

Installed this in my 2017 Lx570. Waited a couple months to see how long terms will work. Works great for the first month. Now when CarPlay is connected the screen randomly blacks out and has issues connecting more often than I can tolerate now. This became product became disappointing after long term usage.

I works well so far after 2 weeks on my RX 350. The installation takes a decent amount of time but not that hard. High chance that you with need that joystick wire to intercept the OEM and carplay system makes it not control the OEM while you on Carplay. Carplay has delay between screen and sound but it's acceptabl and good overall, sound still has the same quality with the OEM. Overall it's a great upgrade and recommend if you really want to up to date

I was skeptical, but this product works great. Install isn’t bad at all, great instructions and video. The setup took a little time, but a lot of that had to do with the terrible touchpad in this Lexus. But I followed the instructions exactly, and it works great!

This is installed on a 2017 Lexus LX570. The install instructions are pretty poorly written and the kit is for a variety of models of car so there is a bit of trial and error to figure it out. The audio quality is compromised as well since this seems to be applying its own equalizer curves that cut the low and high frequencies without ability to adjust them at the extremes. This is a problem for an audio system like the Mark Levinson which normally gives an extremely high quality full range frequency response and needs no EQ correction. Non ML systems may not notice a difference. Because this is a digital overlay of carplay superimposed on the OEM display, all of the button clicks are still operating the OEM menus in the background so it will sometimes switch audio sources, change HVAC settings, make a phone call or interact with navigation/maps. After the first 3-4 trips driving, the screen has started to black out for a minute or two randomly though audio continues playing. The rear passenger screens are now almost useless. When playing a DVD, one screen flickers off and on every 10-15 seconds and the other screen just displays solid bright green. The display is very nice on this particular screen and carplay is crisp and bright with no stretching despite the wide aspect ratio. I'm not sure what I expected for the price but it seems I could have paid 2-3x more for certain other established brands and had no better experience. It's a shame toyota/lexus took so long to integrate CarPlay into their OEM systems.
