They all come from the same manufacturer pretty much. Just people here are reselling the, for more since it’s already in the states. The specs of these can vary also with ram, storage, and processor. I would try to get the highest specs for the best price and narrow it in from there.
Which one should I pick for my 2018 is350 f sport? Please select your Lexus model* Lexus without navigation (Knob control) Lexus with navigation (Jog Control)
It does have a mirroring option, honestly I find it a little tedious just to use it but it works when it’s on, I’d really only use it to watch a movie or something on a road trip lol
You may or may not know the answer to this, but I'm curious as to why the EQ was so bad on the CarPlay side and if it's possible to get the same settings/quality as the bluetooth side? I use my phone for Spotify/Carplay/Navi etc. May be a stupid question because I'm not super familiar with CarPlay, but can you run audio via Bluetooth and still be on CarPlay for Navi/everything else etc? Thanks for the vid. Looking at getting this for my 2017 200t.
I was reading that the CarPlay doesn’t go to the factory amp and that’s why everything is flat...but yes you can run Bluetooth and still be on CarPlay that’s exactly what I do to have good audio and CarPlay at the same time
Hi there. I have the same set up. I just installed it. But I still get the sound from my factory radio. Whenever I connect to CarPlay I can’t hear any sound. I hear the OEM radio playing. Do you know what did I do wrong? Thanks.
Yes, you will have to change the audio input to "AUX" rather than radio. You can do this through the steering wheel controls from the music tab or go back to the OEM media selector on the radio using the knob/joystick. Hope this helps!
If you remove all of the apps that are downloaded on the screen tablet unit , since we use the iPhone/android. Will it help with the overall performance of the screen tablet? Like for the kicking out from the CarPlay or android auto?
Quick question, does it charge your phone pretty well while youre wired in to use the carplay? I use an iPhone too and really want carplay and a better screen on my IS 350, but be able to get a good charge while I’m driving to my destination. Overall great review, I’ve been looking between your videos and Huang Bros just to get as much info as I can before I pull the trigger on this.
Yeah it does, my phone stays charged to 100% on drives. Thanks for the compliment! Ahh yes Barry has some good info on these units! They did just release a new unit. It has some more upgraded internals, Android 10.0, anti glare screen (fixes the glaring and micro scratch problems I experienced), and some other features. Haven't really looked too deep into it yet but just the anti glare sold me alone lol.
@@KennyVo Hey thanks for the reply, I pulled the trigger last night and got the unit for $578 + shipping on alibaba. I reached out to Iric Tan on FB but they were more reachable on their alibaba account. Do you have a link on that newer model? I messeged Iric about it just now to see if I can get the latest one sent to me
@@JP-lr8zg Nice! I don't have a link to it but, I follow her on Instagram and she has been posting about it recently. instagram.com/yzg_car_stereo_navigation_iric/
@@KennyVo I was able to reach out to her in time to get it exchanged for the latest model. Apparently its a Qualcomm model. Android 10, wireless carplay, a crisper screen, and anti-glare. Wasnt much more than I had pay extra. Thanks again for the help!
I seen that one and it’s slightly different so I can’t say anything about it, the one I have is great for me because I came from no navigation. And yes I installed it myself. It’s a little difficult if you never taken panels off or done radio work but it’s straight forward if you’ve removed it before.
I’m buying a 2015 IS 250 FSport and it has the joystick feature and the old infotainment which screen can I buy from them ? I went on their Instagram page and it was pretty confusing. 🥴
Hey, you can dm them and she’ll get your spec right. The wiring is different for the joystick and the knob but to play it safe id DM. That’s what I did. Glad you know what you want though before you have the car 💪🏼 congrats
Is there an update for WIRELESS CarPlay capability? I saw someone complain about audio quality issues on the VLine product, but they said they resolved it with the wireless update. When the sound goes through their wired connection it has an issue, but wireless bypassed it. VLine is a different product than this 10.25” screen but I’m wondering you can resolve your issue the same way?
Yeah you can buy the Apple CarPlay module wired or wireless, it’s just a box with a usb end into the unit. I might have to pick up a wireless one to see if it’s any different! Thank you for this info
Is the sound quality good on the 200t’s? I like a lot of bass and don’t wanna add an aftermarket sub. I’m concerned if it’s a lot worst than the Mark levinson system on the 350’s
Can you watch movies or play videos while you’re driving? Or does it have to be in park and have the e-brake like oem in order to watch movies? Also do you know if you can get CarPlay wireless instead of having to connect your phone?
I had a question. Can you control carplay with your mouse or knob controller thing in your car? Or is it just touchscreen ?And is there no possible way to get the carplay audio to work with the cars audio?
It’s controlled through phone or touch screen with this unit, the android and OEM part can be through controller. Carplay audio works with cad set to “AUX” but it will sound flat
@@rishabsharma2774 that is correct, I mean steering controls and radio controls work to skip songs. It’s more ideal to use the touch screen or phone to enter an address or look up a song.
Can you watch movies on this? Maybe using the cars CD player? Also is there a way to mirror what’s on your phone? I don’t have hotspot so I would have to watch youtube from my phone and I am wondering if it could show up on that car screen. Lastly, does the song name show up in Carplay even when you play music through your car’s bluetooth for better sound quality? Great review btw 👍🏽
Hey there, you can watch movies on this if its through USB and connected to the screens extended USB output or mirrored. You can't play it through the cars CD player. You can mirror your phone and watch anything UA-cam, Hulu, Netlix, anything shows up on your phone shows on the screen in the mirror mode. For no hotspot you can just use your phone on mirror mode with UA-cam to watch it, but if you want to use the UA-cam application on the actual android screen then you need hotspot or parked by Wi-Fi like McDonalds or Starbucks lol. For music through bluetooth my way, yes song still shows up on the carplay screen I can still change volume and switch songs with all the controls through that way too, on carplay screen, radio buttons, steering wheel buttons and phone. Thanks for comment, hoping I answered all your questions!
@@KennyVo Hey bro! I bought this screen and just installed it. I love it! I just can’t figure out how to mirror what’s on my phone, onto the screen. Like videos, UA-cam, Hulu and stuff. What do you use on the screen? Am I missing an app or is it through Q link?
Update: I’ve been told both devices (android screen and phone) both need to be connected to the same wifi to screen mirror. Bummer that you can’t do it with the wired connection. Figured I’d be able to without wifi /hotspot. Not sure if you have a way around this. Thanks!
Hey Kenny, I picked one up thanks to your video installed it yesterday but I don't have the Autoplay(Apple CarPlay) app. Where did you get the app? Please help
I actually have a few questions since our car is identical and I've been looking for just this piece. Have you had any battery, audio quality, etc problems since installing it? Also, can you switch between maps and music on the screen using your phone? Thanks, definitely thinking about getting this!
No battery issues, audio quality is explained in the video from CarPlay to Bluetooth audio...CarPlay mode is muffled sounding where Bluetooth isn’t affected (explained more in video) yeah you can control maps and music and switch whatever through your phone
@@KennyVo Thanks for the answer! So, would the song you play over bluetooth not show up on CarPlay? I feel like that would turn the unit into a HD google maps without the use of the music.
@@8Spagheddy it still shows up it shows the data off the phone still just the audio is is going to Bluetooth instead of CarPlay so I can see songs and skip them through the screen and controls still
@@8Spagheddy yeah I like it cause I don’t have OEM nav. Plus it’s my daily driver so why not. I installed it myself it’s not bad just taking apart panels and feeding wired through is little tight but everything is plug and play and fits in a certain way, it’s pretty hard not to get it right
I just got the one for my RX from Iric. I think it’s a little different. The screen on mine feels like real glass (not plastic) it also has a blue tint to the glass. The mic on mine is built in which is nice.
A newer version of this unit released and I have a video on it.

Still doing great no glitch since the video literally that was random. A few people that ordered same one mentioned that their steering buttons don’t work to skip track or raise volume. So I am concerned about that cause so far 2-3 people had the issue but mine work just fine. That’s the only thing I’ve been hearing recently. Also they just made a new one with a matte screen so it’s not glaring and reflecting everything (plus helps those micro scratches I got), has android 10.0 now also. I am thinking about upgrading to that if I find a good deal.
Hey I just installed this from the same place could you help me out ? My knob control doesn't work at all since I installed it and also when I put my car in reverse it brings me to oem aux screen. I'm so confused and also I can't get to my oem lexus main screen either.
when you purchased did you specify that it was for the knob? Also the reverse should have 2 yellow cables labeled as reverse camera, then in the settings of the android unit itself you can select reverse settings to AV. You should be able to go to the OEM screen holding the menu button
@@KennyVo yeah I appreciate you bro just fixed the camera issue thankyou. Now just need to fix mouse issue. Driving to work this morning I found out my steering wheel volume/songskip buttons don't work 😅 I'm going to video chat them tonight though, they are very helpful

@@KennyVo Hey great video! Thank you so much for making this! Quick question. Do you always have to go in and manually select Bluetooth to get the good audio in CarPlay or does it automatically link to Bluetooth every time you start up your car and plug in Car play?
@@thrashing777 Hey thanks! and of course no problem! The car itself is on bluetooth already (whatever mode you last leave it on) but on the phone it prioritizes carplay audio, I just pull down the control center and switch to the car's bluetooth and it works great!
You can use the buttons to control it whether it be the steering controls, knob, mouse trackpad, or radio buttons they work. but carplay specific apps is currently touch screen.
Hey Kenny, Great Review. I have an install video on my channel for RC/IS. You touched on good topics. I noticed your car is originally not oem navi, am I somewhat correct?
For the android part yes but for Apple CarPlay no, you can opt for wireless or wired when you purchase it, I messaged my seller for the specs and got it to my configuration
I am looking to buy a 2013 Lexus IS300H non F sport edition and I need some help trying to find the right setup/unit to get android auto to work. Can anybody here please assist? Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon as well. Best regards.
Yup it'll work, it just depends on what radio controller you have from there (knob or mouse)...If you have the larger screen already I would recommend just the carplay module that hooked up behind the radio...amzn.to/38dDbmv
@@joelee5493 I have it clipped on the black plastic trim by my leg so right next to where i have my apple cable coming from @18:50 of the video. From that location it still picks up good audio when I've asked other people who called me.
Yes she is legit! I would recommend it! For me especially because my car didn't come with navigation so big screen with carplay is a huge plus for me. I don't regret this purchase.
If youre using Carplay Audio for calls it needs the 3.5mm mic it comes with. You can put it anywhere you'd like. I have mine tucked between the seat and wall of the transmission tunnel and people can hear me fine.
I bought it about 5 months ago It is a good product, but I'm having issues with the android carplay, I'm not sure if it because my car didn't come with a navigation system
Great video, nice and informative on how everything functions. My biggest issue would be boot up time..but seems pretty quick...I agree with you, music has to be on point for long commutes... May have to install this on my 153IS..🔥
thank you! The boot up time for CarPlay is longer if you just turn on the car and plug in the phone since everything is trying to run at once, but its not too bad waiting for the car to warm up and load the screen. I highly recommend this still that glitch I showed hasn't popped up since that video lol...its still running great.
Funny thing about these unit is that you can buy the exact same unit but have different problems. People have to understand it’s an android unit and is not 100% perfect. Regardless the flaws with the unit and yes you will run into problems, it’s just great to have an 10.25 inch screen/ CarPlay with way better resolution that POS stock unit.
If the quality is all over the place it shouldnt be on the market And if the vendor is a pain to deal with and doesnt honour any warranty of refund they shouldnt be in business
@@dannyro5016 Completely true it shouldn't be on the market, at the same time Im glad I have knowledge about these unit and felt confident enough to buy one, and so far after 3 months I can't see having my car without it.
@@s80heb I have the OEM reverse cam and it works with the unit same quality. I didnt have to do anything to the wire just connect it as its labeled. Then I had to go into the settings and set the reverse settings to AV input.
Kenny didn’t do an install video, because Kenny didn’t install the unit. Otherwise Kenny would have done an install video to milk it for Content. Kenny didn’t install this, and I’m betting he didn’t pay for it either...
Hey, question for you. How do I go about shopping for these screens cause Amazon and eBay have tons of choices?
They all come from the same manufacturer pretty much. Just people here are reselling the, for more since it’s already in the states. The specs of these can vary also with ram, storage, and processor. I would try to get the highest specs for the best price and narrow it in from there.

Hey Kenny, would I be able to connect to the head unit through Bluetooth too?
For the android part yes but for Apple CarPlay no, you can opt for wireless or wired when you purchase it, I messaged my seller for the specs and got it to my configuration
Can I install it into my RC350 Lexus 2016. Also would you tell me where can buy it thank you,,,,
Yes you can, I left the sellers contact info in the description
I have a different display controller in my 2016 IS200t fsport idk why
Different countries and different media specs have other controls, but they make the unit specified to whichever one you have.
I am looking to buy a 2013 Lexus IS300H non F sport edition and I need some help trying to find the right setup/unit to get android auto to work. Can anybody here please assist? Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon as well. Best regards.
Would it work if I buy a wireless CarPlay ?
The dongle itself won’t work you’d need the screen or the unit that hides being the screen. I have a video on the newest version that’s wireless now.
How do you calibrate navigation
I use carplay so the navigation apps are based off my phones GPS, no calibration needed if you use apple maps, google maps, waze, etc
Will this work for a 2020 is 300 f sport
Yup it'll work, it just depends on what radio controller you have from there (knob or mouse)...If you have the larger screen already I would recommend just the carplay module that hooked up behind the radio...amzn.to/38dDbmv
I bought this same exact one.. It has been sitting in the box unopened since it got here
Nice, put it to some use!
@@KennyVo What did you do with that microphone that comes with it? Right now that is the only part stopping me
@@joelee5493 I have it clipped on the black plastic trim by my leg so right next to where i have my apple cable coming from @18:50 of the video. From that location it still picks up good audio when I've asked other people who called me.
Been wanting to get! I seen her Facebook but I wasn’t sure if it was legit but wow looks good ! Do you recommend someone to get that?
Yes she is legit! I would recommend it! For me especially because my car didn't come with navigation so big screen with carplay is a huge plus for me. I don't regret this purchase.
Does your HU hiss in aux mode? And if so how did you fix, and or work around it?
What’s her Facebook
Are there any options for wireless apple carplay?
yes, depending on who/where you buy it from you need to select the option or contact the seller for the option
@@KennyVo awesome! Just need some more content!! Keep the work up
@@jruribe7019 for sure! thanks for the continued support I see you lol.

Kenny did you install the unit yourself? Thinking of getting one for the RCF.
Hey yes I did, it’s all plug and play and ports only fit one way so you can’t mess up
@@KennyVo how long did installation take?
@@steven94116 1-1.5 hours
Is there a Sirus/xm app on it?
It’s compatible with Apple CarPlay so if you have it on your phone the app will appear on the unit.
Will this one work in a 2017 RC 350?
Yeah youre going to need to message the seller in the description to get you the proper connections for your vehicle.
Does this work with oem microphone?
If youre using Carplay Audio for calls it needs the 3.5mm mic it comes with. You can put it anywhere you'd like. I have mine tucked between the seat and wall of the transmission tunnel and people can hear me fine.
Sorry if I missed this but what is her Facebook page? This looks like the perfect update to the media system for the car.
All good! Shes on facebook and instagram, here's the link to her FB facebook.com/people/Iric-Tan/100022403182180
Has anyone used android auto with this head unit?
I'm trying to find out as well
@@kaleblove7743 I plan on buying it sometime this week so I might do a review video or something
I bought it about 5 months ago
It is a good product, but I'm having issues with the android carplay, I'm not sure if it because my car didn't come with a navigation system
@@kaleblove7743 what's the current problem your having?
@@slappyman50 android carplay is not working for me, even after I downloaded the app
Is it has phone mirroring?
Yes it does
Where do you purchase the unit?
Purchased through her on Facebook I have the link in the description
How much
I paid $590 - $600 for this unit
Great video, nice and informative on how everything functions. My biggest issue would be boot up time..but seems pretty quick...I agree with you, music has to be on point for long commutes... May have to install this on my 153IS..🔥
thank you! The boot up time for CarPlay is longer if you just turn on the car and plug in the phone since everything is trying to run at once, but its not too bad waiting for the car to warm up and load the screen. I highly recommend this still that glitch I showed hasn't popped up since that video lol...its still running great.
On point period.
I have this same android Radio... Pull the plastic off.
Plastic was off the first day
❤️❤️❤️ Gooooo kennnnnny🤪🤪🤪
🤓 das me
YES ZADDY
Yayayayaya 🥰
Funny thing about these unit is that you can buy the exact same unit but have different problems. People have to understand it’s an android unit and is not 100% perfect. Regardless the flaws with the unit and yes you will run into problems, it’s just great to have an 10.25 inch screen/ CarPlay with way better resolution that POS stock unit.
Couldn't have worded that any better! I completely agree with you on this 100%
@@KennyVo Hey Kenny are you getting any static/white noise when the volume is @40 for higher with the music off?
KounIS O I don’t have static or white noise at all when the music is off
If the quality is all over the place it shouldnt be on the market
And if the vendor is a pain to deal with and doesnt honour any warranty of refund they shouldnt be in business
@@dannyro5016 Completely true it shouldn't be on the market, at the same time Im glad I have knowledge about these unit and felt confident enough to buy one, and so far after 3 months I can't see having my car without it.
Ms tan is on alibaba
Yes she is!
@@KennyVo if you have oem reverse cam, dose it work when in android screen?
Also did you have to daisy chain the camera wire or anything?
@@s80heb I have the OEM reverse cam and it works with the unit same quality. I didnt have to do anything to the wire just connect it as its labeled. Then I had to go into the settings and set the reverse settings to AV input.
Kenny didn’t do an install video, because Kenny didn’t install the unit. Otherwise Kenny would have done an install video to milk it for Content. Kenny didn’t install this, and I’m betting he didn’t pay for it either...
Thank you for the poem 😫😫
@@KennyVo what site do you purchase it?
