There is an app that shows the ac controls. I have the exact same headunit but i changed how the app icons look. The app is called car settings or something like that with a picture of a sports car. You can change your defrost settings on it. And for the AC controls to show you need to go to settings, factory, 3368, and there is an option that says canbox then you have to chose lz(hz), toyota, lexus is. Also i dont have the steering wheel volume problem. Only problem i have is the fitment i have an 09 and my skip and rewind buttons on the steering wheel is reversed. If you need anymore help let me know! I figured out how to use this headunit.
Ya man, any chance you can link me to check it out?? Thanks bro
@@Yacht.46 If you're talking about the app its already installed
THANK YOU
Can you still use the stock mic in the car?
Worked for me thx 🙏
This is the best interior mod. Only people that care about cars will notice carbon fiber touches and such. Everyone can enjoy the convenience of new infotainment
If you're going to go through the expense and hassle of swapping your oem head unit, I suggest opting for a reverse camera setup option. They are about $20 and well worth it imo. Not only for the safety aspects, this also integrates more modern tech into your car and imo seeing a clear reverse path on this screen is pretty impressive.
I've seen mention of apps to help integrate AC/oem functions, but there are also ECU/OBD connections which will bring TMPS and way more like tuner functions as well 👀
This option is not for the novice technical types. Either do your research or hire a tuner tech who also is audio savvy to set this up properly.
this video came out in the perfect time
Lool bro nocap 😂. I’m literally looking to upgrade my shii right now
@@wholelotta5387 same, just ordered one lmao
@@wholelotta53872 year review? Looking for a decent headunit
Does the cd player still work with this unit? If so how.
Check the canbus and make sure to plug in as much things as possible . You should get full functionality as if it came from factory.
Hey Chris, different topic but it applies to your car. I know you can swap the cluster from a 2013 isf but is the lfa style cluster from a 2014 isf compatible with the 2is. I haven't found anything of relevance but the overall shape looks to be the same
When u add the Apple Pay do u still have room for the installation of a back camera ?
Where did you get it bro looks clean
Looks dope tho besides the cons 🫣
Can you share the link to that steering wheel and also to that head unit. Thanks
I've got this same unit, but with newer Android version 13.
Having three issues:
No sounds from rear speakers.
Figuring i might need to supply a powet trigger for the factory amp?
No radio stations come in- reading that i may need to apply a power trigger for the powered antenna.
Can't figure out how to change the color of the button lights on the left side of the screen. They cycle through the entire RGB range.
Hey Christian, I was thinking about getting this for my IS however I live in Canada where it gets up to -40 for winter, do you think these would hold up well in that type of cold?
Sorry I'm 7 months late but they say they were tested at -20 " as a Minnesota I'm willing to risk it"
Check out the Beat-Sonic SLX-140L double din dash kit. It replaces the cd player for a stereo screen
I have a 2011 is250 but on the aliexpress page it says my version of headunit wont fit. Is there a good alternative for it? Cheers
Can you replace the CD player for more storage space? I won't use the CD player at all, and it seems like you could use way better that real state for something else, in my case I prefer storage, but haven't found anyone that has done it so far
Don't know if there's a straight replacement for the CD player but I've seen a full screen replacement that replaces the infotainment system and CD player
Great video! Where did you get the carbon fiber steering wheel from?
I believe it’s the Lexus F Sports steering wheel
Guess I'm skipping it. Thanks for the review!
will this work with the mark levinson audio?
how did u get the rear camera working?
I have a similar headunit, but the temperature only displays in Celsius, notFahrenheit. Anyone know how to change or update this?
I had the issue with my ac fixed it , the brackets I didn’t get with mine had to make my own thanks for the info was helpful
I’m trying to install this one now and the AC isn’t working. What did you do to fix it?
@@ryanshafer7538 you have a connection wrong
@@ryanshafer7538 try the connector clips, might be in wrong spot
Did u figure out a way to fix it. Running into same problem
does it work with the mark and levision audio systrm
Does any know
What i can do for a 2011 250 with the ac with mav (white screen version) everywhere I look for a aftermarket screen it says It’s not compatible
Is there rca’s for subwoofer installation
Does it have waze?
How is the sound quality compared to the stock head unit?
Actually about the same. Volume may be some getting used to but other than the same
@@ChristianMastrile Thanks for letting me know 👍.
hey there!! i’m having this issue right now.. my apple car play will play my music for about 20 seconds then completely mute itself until i press a button on the stock radio to active it to turn back on. any answers on how i can fix this??
Did u ever get it fixed ?
Another alternative for the Android head unit is the scosche head unit.. comes with all the HVAC controls like factory and also apple and Android auto.
Any links to said Scosche unit?
You still have the link ?
Found it on Amazon (SCOSCHE ITCLS01B 2006 to 2013 Lexus is Integrated Touchscreen Control ITC 2.0 Solution Dash Kit)
Hope this helps👍
That one is for the ones without the navigation
I told you theres an app for the ac control for it on the other video you need to activate it first tho
what is the name of the app?
Name of the app ?
It looks nice BUT the big gap between the nav and dashboard would bother me on a daily basis I need everything to look streamline and snug
Check out the phoenix screen. I have one and it makes the interior of my car look futuristic. It’s just one giant screen with continuous clean lines that match the car.
@@DarkOneK2S do you have a link for that one
@@_MIKIMOTO_ ua-cam.com/video/lRH7-jo2tsU/v-deo.html
@@_MIKIMOTO_ ua-cam.com/video/WDNnadTHnnY/v-deo.html
This is a better video. Looks just like mine 👍
@@DarkOneK2S thanks bro I’m gonna look into it 🤙🏼
Does your car come with the ultra exquisite Mark Levinson speakers or just the standard Lexus Premium sound system? Regardless of which one you got, music sounds divine and engaging in the IS.
Unfortunately didn't get the ML speakers... would love to upgrade the speakers in cabin tho!
I just installed the same unit, everything works fine except the radio, all I get is static noise. Any idea?
Need to connect the powered antenna to switched B+ to turn it on. I'm having the same issue, haven't fixed it yet.
hey my bro i just watch your video
hmmm i have a lexus i350 2011 i cant find any headunit for my car can you help me please
Hi did you find anything to do with the air conditioner I have the same problem
Still haven't been able to figure it out. Someone said there's an app you have to download in order to get it to work but I haven't figured it out yet
where do I buy this from? and the exact name?
Can you get SiriusXM?
What’s the link for the radio
Where can I buy.?
You haven’t answer me from the last video that will your backup camera works with the new headunit?
I really wanna know this too
I do not think the stock backup camera is compatible, you will need to get an aftermarket backup camera with the headunit
I believe there is a wire or connector in the back that you can connect the backup camera to. Didn't do it myself as i don't have a backup camera on my IS
I’m sure it does. I have a Phoenix screen and I have aftermarket cameras (front, side and back) and in my settings menu you can choose to use stock or aftermarket cameras. You can also use them whilst driving and not for just reversing. My screen is close to three years old now.
@@ChristianMastrile can you put a link to this unit? And is car play wireless?
Anyone know if this is compatible with the 09 IS that comes with oem navigation? (The smooth buttons on the side not the protruding ones)
I didn’t even know is have a defrost feature lol
Did you ever figure out how to get the rear window defrost to work ? I got the front one working but with winter coming I need the rear

@@racetime8824 I have the front window defrost but can get my rear to work. I have the button but it doesn’t work. Do you have something I can add you on and send you a picture
Hey man did you figure it out? Where even is the rear window defrost button on this thing
@@NightMythHunter nope I was able to fix and add every other setting but rear defrost
Where is the defrost rear window button on this?
Did you figure it out
Looks nice and seems to work well, but WOW does it nerf the climate control system, doh!🙈 In most climates front and rear defrost arent really an option for safe driving, and if your car is equipped with heated side mirrors it would also be nice to have that function as well.
@Christian Mastrile
I have the same radio bro. Mekede right? So for the AC you have to go to apps > Car Info > A/C control. You will be able to select defroster there. If it doesn't work then you have to go into the advanced menu and mess with the canbus settings.
For the sound, what you are hearing is car's original radio and it sort gets the audio out of sync so to speak. To fix it, go to the car info app again, then go to car radio (that's the radio on the bottom), then back out. That will disable the radio for as long as you don't disconnect the battery. Once you do that, the sound will sync up and the volume controls will work as they should.
If the Car info apk is missing let me know, I'll see if I can dump it from my radio and post it here.
Here is the video I made, hopefully you can get the ac and audio worked out:
ua-cam.com/video/3mTQAHvIXpM/v-deo.html
but still no rear defrost control??
@@GriffinBean-kj1qp There are two icons that look like defrost control. One on the left and on on the right. Tap the one on the right.
Can you use it as the back up camera too if you connect it?
Yes, you have to connect the male rca to the female rca within the cabling. Then make sure you connect the obd port so it can detect the reverse signal, once you do, the reverse function will automatically enable the reverse camera.
Have you solved your problems yet? LMK
i may have to pass on that mod
My heater doesn’t work
Grom vline
Deems like a downgrade instead of an upgrade!
I have an android head unit too but I can’t make my rear view camera work. I’ve made it work when I shift into park but not in reverse 😖 anyone else have this problem?
Sounds like either a bad purchase and/or a bad install, TBH. If most of the controls don't work, would have been cheaper to just buy a bluetooth adapter.
Link for this head unit?
