I was the original poster for this unit on Reddit! Glad to see people loving this Ali express unit. Thanks for uploading the tutorial cause I honestly just paid a dude $80 at this musty stereo shop to install it for me 😅 Ali express better cut my check!
Thanks man this was uploaded at the right time for me. I just installed my unit today and was wondering how to set up the steering wheel buttons wish I watched this before I installed it would have helped a bunch.
Loved the video! I just bought my ct200 a couple days ago and cannot wait to upgrade to this. The link to Aliexpress have so many models. Can you suggest or recommend which one is the best? Thanks
Im appreciate the video and Props to you🎉 quick side note: the Lexus Bluetooth has 2 ways to pair and if you pair to it the 1st way, then your phone will not literally connect on Phone calls and only w/ Music….. But hey!!!! Y’all got a dope new head unit!!!!!
thx for video recommendation head unit. Can you also add a display extension to the dash top screen and display your sat nav on it? And stock reverse camera and stock microphone??
@@slightlymodified501 So, it's been 2 months. Have you had any success with the manufacturer's service? I'd love to know the make, model & a link. Otherwise it's hard to recommend this video, right?
Hi! Thanks for your video I bought the carplay in my lexus 2011 (with canbus) and the sound is horrible, worst than before. Do you have how i can fix the sound? A amp oem or something. If you kno if a buy something can you send me the link, etc. thanks again!
Kinda confuse. U didn’t really show how u hook up the radio. U said when u hook up the connection and there’s no sound due to factory amp. How do u do that. What’s the module, does it comes with it?
Thanks for uploading the video! Does the unit come with a reverse - camera?.. Would you happen to have a link to the car-unit?.. I don't see it in the description.
After clicking the link there are 21 units to choose from. Which one do I choose? I have the same car and simply want to get a unit to bring to be installed somewhere but no sure which one I should choose. Thanks in advance :)
No issues with difference in sound, I did find that it works without the amp plugged in but the front tweeters didn’t work so thats why I plugged the OEM amp back in. Sounds pretty good!
@@slightlymodified501hello! I bought the carplay in my lexus 2011 ( with canbus) and the sound is horrible, worst than before. Do you have how i can fix the sound? A amp oem or something. Thanks!
@@slightlymodified501 thank you for responding. And your vid is the best. Just to confirm, for the old system, you unscrewed the radio unit from amplifier, fitted the amplifier and new andriod unit to the car correct? No other vid has shown this. And i am asking the manufacturer but i have not gotten an answer.
@@MrTj2409I don't think he was honest when he said he reconnected the amplifier. The only way you can have the amp connected is to have the Lexus variant with inbuilt nav display. With the variant without dashboard display you will need to take out the amplifier to fit the advertised kit. Hence I did not purchase because base sound was very important for me. I took out the system and checked the connections to verify.
Hi, I just had this unit installed in my car and there are two things that the guy couldn't figure out, wasn't in the instructions and the seller hasn't responded to the 6 messages I've sent him. So I'm hoping you can answer these questions for me, if you would be so kind. The unit wont connect to the steering wheel controls. It comes back with "setup failed" and there is no volume icon on the right side where, according to the instructions there should be... so I can't control the volume unless I go into settings and change it from there. I really hope you can guide me with this because I just paid a guy $250 to install this and he couldn't even figure it out. Beyond frustrated. Thanks in advance.
Hello, hopefully he Didn’t put the wrong unit in your car. Did you buy it from the same place I did? If so they can answer all of your questions. They sent video responses for every question I had. As for the volume, you can swipe down from the top twice in a row and a volume screen will slide down
@@slightlymodified501 I didn't buy it from AliExpress because there were 21 or so different ones when you clicked the link you put in your comments. I asked which one but you didn't respond. Anyway, it's not the wrong one and looks just like yours but everytime I try to assign the SWC it says "setup failed" and I'm having ZERO luck trying to get any help from the seller. I'll try the swiping down for the volume. Hope it works. I might have to return this and order another... which one did you actually use on the AliExpress because there are loads.
The screen went out a while back but the seller sent me a new screen and videos on how to change it. Been fine after that. Car got totaled a few months back and we were unable to remove the stereo. But we loved it.
First... the stock location is crap.... its too low down . Driving using GPS is not good ! secondly , whilst they offer a lot for the money .Make no mistake they DO NOT sound as good as stock by some way .

Can you send me the head unit model and where to purchase? Thank you.
Nice man! Thanks for the video. Do you have a link to the stereo?
hi, did you find anything?
Link is in description
Can you send a link so I can buy a screen for my car from the same brand?
Link is in the description
thx for video recommendation head unit. Can you also add a display extension to the dash top screen and display your sat nav on it? And stock reverse camera and stock microphone??
I cannot speak for the nav models. I added the microphone it came with and it it has capabilities to add a camera
Thx for the video, very informative
Why would you not list the model number in your video and the name of the unit
The screen went out and Im currently going back and forth with the seller for a warranty. Thats why i have been holding off on adding the link.
@@slightlymodified501you should pin this, but i appreciate the video! Nice to know i can upgrade this for my car
@@slightlymodified501 Updates?

Thanks you. Cooked the engine a while back. Just got it back on the road. Feels good!
Does the clock work? And how do you adjust the time?

Thanks for uploading the video! Does the unit come with a reverse - camera?.. Would you happen to have a link to the car-unit?.. I don't see it in the description.
It didn’t come with the camera, any generic one should work as long as the plug is the same.
Do you have a link???
Thanks! Works for ct200 2011?
name and model of the head unit please
Your very talented,thanks

You the MAN !
Hell yea, thank you!
Where did you get that stereo from?
Where did you get the Lexus branded bezel?
Came with the stereo
@@slightlymodified501 Thanks!
Does this work w/ the model that comes w/ navigation?
I heard that the sound quality (especially the bass) isn't as clean on this as the oem stereo. Any issues with that at all?
No issues with difference in sound, I did find that it works without the amp plugged in but the front tweeters didn’t work so thats why I plugged the OEM amp back in. Sounds pretty good!

how did you fit the amplifier to the new nav system? the connections will still be the same
I just plugged it in and tossed it back there

did they replace the unit when the screen stopped working?
Yes they did, I was able to swap the screen in about 20 minutes and it works perfect again
i like how you don't remove the shifter and everyone else who installs a new head unit does 😎less step more productive

@@slightlymodified501 thanks for response
how does it sound? these cheap Chinese units often sound worse than the original unit.
@@occasx they sound about the same. You have to leave your OEM amp in or your tweeters on the dash stop working.
Have a link?
hi, did you find anything?
No, I sold the car 🙃
@@richardmontalvo3513 did you not like the car? or just made good money off it
@@damonj8056 man having issues with the hybrid battery, sold it quick
