18:37 I have a 2015 CT200h Executive, i installed aftermarket carplay/androïd box. Ask to your dealer the new firmware for automatic blth connection. No more need to swtich AUX>BLTH every start. 😉
I installed this on my Lexus is250 2014. I got the unit from Aliexpress (its literally the same unit from every after market brand). The seller linked me to your video for installation help and it only took me a few hours. It's not hard if you follow this video step by step. I think it's updated to Android 14. It's been connecting to carplay wirelessly everytime I start up so far. I paid for the faster processor version, so everything is very fast. It's definitely a nice upgrade to have.
Did you upgrade due to problems with the stock screen? I got the same car and just started having the problem where my screen keeps restarting constantly
@@vicZKidstock screen would restart for me randomly as well. It’s a nice upgrade if you don’t mind spending the money to buy the unit. Installation may look intimidating but follow the video and you’ll be fine. Everything literally is plug and play.
I’m late to the party, yes I know 😂. Just got me a 2015 IS250 yesterday. Looking to do some mods, what’s a great spot to get ideas besides yourself in Houston or websites? Also, where you get those mats from? Fiyah
👋🏼 congrats!! Thanks for watching! Best way to look around on IG like my friends IS and other people. Another place is ClubLexus forum for lots of information. I got my mats from ebay. Links on my parts video on my channel
@@fernandodejesus5519 your correct but it’s todays market unfortunately. Everybody overpaying and I had no choice I needed something asap. It was either get a accord, Camry or Lexus for the same price lol.
Thanks for sharing the video bro. Do you need to connect to Wifi and Bluetooth if you're using Android Auto? And does it use the Mark Levinson speaker system? Are there any units that don't force you to switch to the OEM bluetooth for phone calls? Any new problems or dislikes?
Thanks for watching. 1. Yes both wifi and Bluetooth to do Auto 2. It uses the speaker but quality depends if you using Aux or Bluetooth 3. I use OEM Bluetooth for calls because that's what I like but the unit comes with an aftermarket mic for calls 4. Most of the stuff is still the same from what I mentioned
Hi, I have this. My rear view camera isn't working, steering wheel controls not working, and when I first turned it on I had no audio. Do you run music through aux thought I could just use Bluetooth
Hi, so for the rear camera I mentioned how to fix that in the comments somewhere. Should be easy fix. For steering wheel controls it should work. I didn’t have an issue with mine. For Bluetooth, you have to leave your OEM source to Bluetooth then once connect to CarPlay switch source back to OEM Bluetooth on your Phone
Hey bro i also install carplay in my lexus is 250 m 2015 but i have one issue everything is working buy sounds not comes out only sound issue do have any idea what was the problem
So my unit or radio wasn’t working because the dealership told me, but I had told them if I used a aftermarket, would it work, they had said they don’t know, so would it work if I use the aftermarket?
If you're not getting audio or visual, there's a chance your amp is messed up. The second option is you head unit is out so only option for that is to get the motherboard fix or replace the whole unit. Aftermarket screen won't help
@ it’s my head unit, the dealership told me that it was going to be $2500 to get it fixed, I’m trying to find any other way to get this fixed because I don’t want to pay that much.
There's a place in upper north new York prs something a company does repair to the motherboard you can send to get fix. I think it was like $400-$500 or something not sure. You can look it up on FB or forum. Wish I remembered the company name
I’m currently on the fence about either just installing CarPlay or aftermarket screen. After 3 years, have you notice any lag, overheating, it not working after driving over a small bump? I seen mix reviews and some getting faulty screens.
Tbh it's mostly work the same as from the video. It's not perfect. Once in a while I get "no input" screen but that solve quick by turn off-on my car. Overall it's good enough for what I need. The bigger screen is nicer to look at.
I just recently installed this in a Lexus, connected to the android auto Bluetooth and I’m not getting any sound through the factory stereo. I have the factory stereo settings on aux. I’m only able to use the factory Bluetooth to hear audio. I’ve connected every cable and double checked everything…is there something I’m missing?
Hey thanks for the video, you saved me so much time! Did you lose steering wheel volume controls? Trying to figure out if i forgot to connect or if i messed up clock spring ribbon in the steering wheel
Did you do this because your radio stopped working? Mine has the no radio, no nav, and black screen. Back up cam works in reverse. I want to do this but I’m scared it still won’t work even if it’s a new one.
@@Kanbo11 not for the radio but it still makes sounds for the a/c controls. I’ve checked all fuses so it has to be an issue within the stock head unit for the radio itself. I think it being right above the heat vents and also being in direct sunlight that it makes the unit overheat causing most of the defect but I could be wrong. I’m just ready to have a radio again😭😭
@@Kanbo11 yeah I’m going to replace it and try to fix the original incase the issue happens again. I’ve read reviews where the glitch even happens with aftermarket radios after some time.

I can't get mine working for anything... Click on aux does nothing (it won't select into that mode). Steering wheel controls will not change the mode. Only bluetooth seems to work on OEM mode. Also, the oem OS gets really laggy temporarily. Such a nice screen, but the experiance couldn't be more garbage :(

I have a version from China which uses the OEM screen and has a computer I hid behind the dash. I noticed that sometimes the Bluetooth and CarPlay audio inputs interfere with each other - a tip to fix this is to connect CarPlay BT and WIFI then disconnect BT and let it run through WIFI only. Hope that helps
Also there are equalizer settings within the settings in android auto so you can get better sound through CarPlay without having to flip to original BT.

Hi. Thank you for your video. But I have an issue. Everything is working but when I connect with the apple car but they only have the images without any sound. But when I connect with normal bluetooth in Lexus It has sounds. Do you know how to fix it? Thanks
I hear that you didnt use the mic. How do you get your phone to pair to android auto and the oem Bluetooth at the same time? When i use android auto for phone calls the people calling get massive echo.
Hello good morning do you have a link for the aftermarket CarPlay screen. Thanks for the instructions on install I have 2015 is250 F-sport that I want to install on. Thanks
Unfortunately the person I bought it from stop selling it but you can hit this person up and tell them kanbo_11 sent you instagram.com/yzg_car_stereo_navigation_iric?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
I purchased one through amazon and the only issue I'm currently having I cant hear waze through my system. Theirs many other features they include which is unnecessary. But I like the bigger screen and waze that's all I needed
I would contact the company you purchased from and asked for an update. There isn’t a place to get updates. Most of these unit are similar beside they put their own software in it
i got one for my 2019 is300 f, while installing i noticed that the cable that connects to the display (lvds cable i think?) doesn't fit into the new screen. As in it's an entirely differently connector. DOes anyone have this issue and have maybe figured out what the adapter for it is called? or am i just SoL
Hi , How long did it take you to install the new screen, in real time? Did your screen came with Android 10 or 12? If you had Android 10, were you able to update to Android 12 or later (13) recently ? I have heard that some of these screens tend to slow down in performance over time; heating up. Do you have any issues? Cheers.
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.
Make sure you're in Aux mode before connecting to Carplay then when connect go on your phone and make sure your audio source is on the Carplay module. My case it's named Lexus EA......blah blah
Hey did you have any issues with the camera ? Every time i put it into back up camera it goes to like the OEM map navigation screen not the back up camera not sure what i can do to fix it
This was an awesome vid. I have a 2014 IS 250 (base model). I found the version that would work for my car. However, my actual radio/nav unit I just found out needs to be replaced due to working intermittently. The actual radio/nav unit needs to be functional in order for this screen to work and be powered correctly, right? I assume that's the case because I saw that the Android system needs to be connected to the back of the factory radio unit...
Thank you for watching! Unfortunately yes the radio unit needs to be working. Since you're replacing it anyways maybe look into the 2017+ up unit swap instead. I think you can try to get the bigger screen, radio unit and some wire swap to make it work
Hey daniell, did u ever get this issue solved? I have a 2014 is250 and the radio only works intermittently as well. The backup camera works perfectly but the radio infotainment itself just keeps rebooting but then sometimes works normally.
@@Kanbo11no sir, no image no nothing. When this happens I can’t even use the port to charge my phone 🤷🏾♂️ sometimes it randomly comes on later though but it’s getting worse as time goes on
@kingsaul2871 so sorry to say but it’s probably your head unit going out. Common issues with our cars. Only way is to find used replacements with the same model or sent out the board to company to fix it
Hey bro I’m thinking about buying an is350 2016 and want to do this install. But I’m wondering does the reverse camera still come on fine when you reverse and does doing this install trip any lights and codes?
Hi, IS is a good car. The reverse camera work just fine no issue. There is no codes or anything. This install basically replace display nothing hardware from oem.
Once connected to CarPlay it play through the unit so you have to leave your Oem on Aux mode. For Bluetooth, you have to manually switch it back on your phone in the auido source
Great video man. I just bought a 2016 IS200t (UK). Only thing that bugs me about this is that it looks like when on OEM the resolution is really stretched, shame they can't support the original resolution. I'm thinking of mounting a tablet instead.
You have to always switch to oem Bluetooth for the best quality. Aux quality isn’t too bad but I rather take better quality than hearing my notifications lol
I have installed it man! And your turtorial helped me put a lot. I’ve been liking it so far! Just one question, I get no audio coming out in the “andriod system” or whatever it is. For example the downloaded videos that come with it, 😊no audio comes out. Did I plug something wrong? I get Bluetooth audio tho. Just wondering thanks
@@Kanbo11 interesting... my phone and voice buttons do not work( not in the android mode not when i switch to lexus system mode((( (Volume and track changing buttons work fine)
@@designstudioaid4165 I went through hell installing this same aftermarket system in my IS. My steering wheel buttons worked for like volume up, but not down or track skip. There's just a dozen details about this that make the whole experience feel crappy. I had to open a paypal dispute to send the thing back to China. Completely garbage experience. These engineers are too dumb to make an OEM like experience.
To be fair it's not perfect. The units are similar but there's so many companies that tweak or build it to how they like it. I know people who had hella problems and people who don't have any issue so it's just a gamble
It's still holding up fine. Same issues I mention in the video but nothing new. Reverse works. Just have to change certain settings that I mentioned in another person comments. Quality isn't bad. I wanted Carplay and Bigger screen and that's what I got lol. Sorry if that didn't make sense

I have a video over a mod I did for the interior coming soon that show the seats a lot of times in it. If you are still wanting to see the color more then please check that out whenever it comes out and you'll have a better idea of it. :D
Hi is audio quality affected when listening through CarPlay?
Yes because you are listening through Aux and not Bluetooth. But the audio isn’t too bad from Bluetooth
Hi. Thank you for your video. But I have an issue. Everything is working but when I connect with the apple car but they only have the images without any sound. But when I connect with normal bluetooth in Lexus It has sounds. Do you know how to fix it? Thanks
Switch audio source on your phone too. Or make sure your on aux mode on your car
I hear that you didnt use the mic. How do you get your phone to pair to android auto and the oem Bluetooth at the same time? When i use android auto for phone calls the people calling get massive echo.
I switch my audio source to OEM Bluetooth on my phone once it connect to carplay
I am also getting eco, so I switched to OEM blutooth, but didn't you manage to find any workaround?
No I just use the OEM Bluetooth cause it sounds the best
@@Kanbo11 I fixed it by getting to settings of Zlink
Everytime I change something in Zlink it seems it does nothing lol
Hello good morning do you have a link for the aftermarket CarPlay screen. Thanks for the instructions on install I have 2015 is250 F-sport that I want to install on. Thanks
Unfortunately the person I bought it from stop selling it but you can hit this person up and tell them kanbo_11 sent you instagram.com/yzg_car_stereo_navigation_iric?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
I purchased one through amazon and the only issue I'm currently having I cant hear waze through my system. Theirs many other features they include which is unnecessary. But I like the bigger screen and waze that's all I needed
If you want to hear Waze talk then leave your radio mode to Aux mode. Once CarPlay connect you should be able to hear it
@@Kanbo11 Thank you...
No problem. Only thing is audio quality decrease since it’s through aux
@@Kanbo11 Where does one go for updates?
I would contact the company you purchased from and asked for an update. There isn’t a place to get updates. Most of these unit are similar beside they put their own software in it
i got one for my 2019 is300 f, while installing i noticed that the cable that connects to the display (lvds cable i think?) doesn't fit into the new screen. As in it's an entirely differently connector. DOes anyone have this issue and have maybe figured out what the adapter for it is called? or am i just SoL
Make sure with the company you bought it from gave you the right cable/harness for you car
Can you install after market amplifiers?
You the Goat 🫡
No you 👈🏼😅
does this bypass the OEM head unit? i think mine is going out or will i just need a new one?
I'm not too sure about that. I remember reading about it before. I would say to look up in the forums about it cause I'm sure people have tried
Can you please send the link for the LCD Screen if you don’t mind. I would like to get it for my 2014 Lexus Is250
instagram.com/yzg_car_stereo_navigation_iric/ Tell her Kanbo_11 sent you
The touch screen itself is good quality? Easy get scratch from touching it? Thanks!
It's not bad quality. It can stretch somewhat easily so I cut up a screen protector on it and it's been fine so far
@@Kanbo11 where can we order the screen protector the same size of the screen?
@@mubankhwamsuk I don't know. I just order a big piece and cut it up to the size of the screen.
How much cost your ceiling?
It's awesome
Did you have any issues retaining your OEM Camera ? I got a similar radio in my 2015 GS350 but can’t get the backup camera to work
No issues. Does your harness has the yellow RCA plugs?
Hi ,
How long did it take you to install the new screen, in real time?
Did your screen came with Android 10 or 12?
If you had Android 10, were you able to update to Android 12 or later (13) recently ?
I have heard that some of these screens tend to slow down in performance over time; heating up.
Do you have any issues?
Cheers.
If I do it again without recording I can probably do it in an hour. I'm not sure which version I have rn. No issue so far
I am thinking on getting this unit but the one in ur video seems laggy like the OEM one how much ram is the unit you bought?
I have 4gm ram but now they have updated version
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.
Make sure you're in Aux mode before connecting to Carplay then when connect go on your phone and make sure your audio source is on the Carplay module. My case it's named Lexus EA......blah blah
@@Kanbo11 thank you. I’ll try that. Appreciate it.
Hey did you have any issues with the camera ? Every time i put it into back up camera it goes to like the OEM map navigation screen not the back up camera not sure what i can do to fix it
Go into the BackCar setting....turn off everything beside "360 CVBS" and "BackCar Trace"
@@Kanbo11 i have the same issue . I already tried your way but It doesn’t work neither
Switch the RCA plug. Mine was plug reverse of what it was labeled
@@nguyenju175 dear I have the same problem with camera, did you solved it? Thanks.
This was an awesome vid. I have a 2014 IS 250 (base model). I found the version that would work for my car. However, my actual radio/nav unit I just found out needs to be replaced due to working intermittently. The actual radio/nav unit needs to be functional in order for this screen to work and be powered correctly, right? I assume that's the case because I saw that the Android system needs to be connected to the back of the factory radio unit...
Thank you for watching! Unfortunately yes the radio unit needs to be working. Since you're replacing it anyways maybe look into the 2017+ up unit swap instead. I think you can try to get the bigger screen, radio unit and some wire swap to make it work
@@Kanbo11 Thank you. Yea the OEM replacement radio/nav unit is ridiculously expensive
Yea I know. Might as well look into it then you can get everything oem plus carplay. No need for Android screen
Hey daniell, did u ever get this issue solved? I have a 2014 is250 and the radio only works intermittently as well. The backup camera works perfectly but the radio infotainment itself just keeps rebooting but then sometimes works normally.
Hey guys is anyone sort the problem with rádio not working
Hey my infotainment keeps going blank and I have a 2014 is350
U think a new one will work or is it the wiring ?
Do you have still have audio and stuff just no image?
@@Kanbo11no sir, no image no nothing. When this happens I can’t even use the port to charge my phone 🤷🏾♂️ sometimes it randomly comes on later though but it’s getting worse as time goes on
@kingsaul2871 so sorry to say but it’s probably your head unit going out. Common issues with our cars. Only way is to find used replacements with the same model or sent out the board to company to fix it
Hey bro I’m thinking about buying an is350 2016 and want to do this install. But I’m wondering does the reverse camera still come on fine when you reverse and does doing this install trip any lights and codes?
Hi, IS is a good car. The reverse camera work just fine no issue. There is no codes or anything. This install basically replace display nothing hardware from oem.
Is this the qualcomm snapdragon unit like Kenny Vo has?
Yes it is. The same one he's using rn. We're friends
I have no sound on the android screen . No sound on apps ,no sound Bluetooth. Only sound on classic version of radio
Once connected to CarPlay it play through the unit so you have to leave your Oem on Aux mode. For Bluetooth, you have to manually switch it back on your phone in the auido source
Which unit did you buy
My oem is broken and I wanna upgrade
Is your oem screen or the whole system is broken?
can you use usb for carplay, and will it auto connect thru USB?
Not for this model. You can get different models like wired usb version
so as you didn't plug the mic that came with the scree you bought, can you still use the previous mic installed by the factory?
Yes you can. You just have to swtich to it on your phone whenever you have a call
@@Kanbo11 thank you
Can you play OEM bluetoth and use maps on carplay at same time
Yes I do it all the time. Only thing is maps notifications won’t come through the speakers on CarPlay. Only maps on phone
Hi does ur unit have Android auto as well? Or can only choose one or the other? Thanks
Carplay and Android auto comes from your phone. But yes it works for both.
Great video man. I just bought a 2016 IS200t (UK). Only thing that bugs me about this is that it looks like when on OEM the resolution is really stretched, shame they can't support the original resolution. I'm thinking of mounting a tablet instead.
Yea because the Lexus software is only design to a certain dimension. The unit only copy it and display it to the screen
I can but it's not full screen. It's in the settings.
does the 2018 and above get carplay??
Maybe. Some time you can get the software update online and diy yourself or at the dealership
Will this work with a 2015 lexus rcf?
Yes it will. Just have to make sure you tell them your model for the right harness
Hey how is this holding up after 6 months? I'm thinking about getting one for myself
It's been fine. Same thing from the beginning. No problem yet.
Hey where did you find the super saiyan engine start button cover ?
I made it myself
@@Kanbo11 can you tell me how ? I’ve been looking into making one
will this work if my car is missing the sd card?
Yes it will. The SD is mainly for navigation for OEM
That blue is ducking dope what’s the color
3M Matte Metallic Blue
@@Kanbo11 looks so good w cf and black 😻😻
Thats sick! Do you notice an audio quality difference like does it use the mark levinson or do u gotta always manually switch to bluetooth audio
You have to always switch to oem Bluetooth for the best quality. Aux quality isn’t too bad but I rather take better quality than hearing my notifications lol
So with this unit if I have to switch it to the Oem Bluetooth basically I won’t be able to use Apple CarPlay for music?
No you can still play music. The function will be there but you just have to swtich audio source on your phone and car
@@Kanbo11 Got it appreciate you bro
No Problem ! You can leave it on aux and it'll play just fine or swtich to OEM.
I have installed it man! And your turtorial helped me put a lot. I’ve been liking it so far! Just one question, I get no audio coming out in the “andriod system” or whatever it is. For example the downloaded videos that come with it, 😊no audio comes out. Did I plug something wrong? I get Bluetooth audio tho. Just wondering thanks
You need to use the audio cable to connect to the aux input in the console to get audio
Hi love the vid, we have the same car do you offer this service or have recommendations of people who do ?
Bro what is that carbon fiber shift knob called
amzn.to/45fDWWL
So you can play OEM bluetooth music with the ML while using apple carplay for other things while driving?
Yes you can play OEM Bluetooth. I do it all the time. You just won't be hearing anything from the Carplay like notification
@@Kanbo11 thanks!
@@Kanbo11 when you play music on OEM Bluetooth, does the music such as the artwork still show up on carplay?
Yes it shows up like normal
Can you do a video showing the OEM Bluetooth functions?
Where did you get the 10.5 screen is it only for android or does it work for Apple
From @slowhitelexus on IG. No it's for both apple and Android
How do you adjust resolution on the stock Lexus UI?
You can't adjust it
What about the back up camera
The unit use the OEM camera. Just have to change a few settings only
Hey man. thank for the video.
question: do your phone buttons on steering wheel work after you install the unite?
Yea I do. I haven't had an issue with my buttons so far.
@@Kanbo11 interesting... my phone and voice buttons do not work( not in the android mode not when i switch to lexus system mode(((
(Volume and track changing buttons work fine)
@@designstudioaid4165 I went through hell installing this same aftermarket system in my IS. My steering wheel buttons worked for like volume up, but not down or track skip. There's just a dozen details about this that make the whole experience feel crappy. I had to open a paypal dispute to send the thing back to China. Completely garbage experience. These engineers are too dumb to make an OEM like experience.
To be fair it's not perfect. The units are similar but there's so many companies that tweak or build it to how they like it. I know people who had hella problems and people who don't have any issue so it's just a gamble
Hey you got the link to the one you got
Thinking abt replacing mine. How’s it holding up after a year? Also does it still have the reverse camera and how is the quality of so?
It's still holding up fine. Same issues I mention in the video but nothing new. Reverse works. Just have to change certain settings that I mentioned in another person comments. Quality isn't bad. I wanted Carplay and Bigger screen and that's what I got lol. Sorry if that didn't make sense
@@Kanbo11 I just installed this screen bur the only problem I face is the reverse camera loses quality and sometimes it delays when I switch to reverse. What can I do to solve this issue?
@mohammedal-hussaini2976 not much you can do. That’s just the reality of it. It’s never perfect
@@Kanbo11 the seller told me If I replace the original camera will make it higher quality and fast responsive that’s because the original camera has low resolution. I’m not sure if it works or not
@mohammedal-hussaini2976 my camera is low resolution too but it doesn’t bother me that much. It’s up to you if you want to change it. Idk how that’ll work
Also I can’t find a link for the one you bought could you send it

Hey i got the same unit installed, did you ever get a way to adjust the sensitivity for the joystick?? Mine barely registers anything. Thanks
Oh wow mine is super sensitive lol. Is yours not sensitive on the OEM menu?
@@Kanbo11 it’s kind of all over the place! It’s super sensitive but when you read an end of the joystick you can’t keep going in that direction, a bit annoying. Is yours like that too?
Oh yea mine is the same. You have to go slow when moving it. But I don't really use it so it doesn't bother me much. I'm not too sure if you can even adjust it
How you got your reverse camera working when I plug in everything and put the car in reverse I keep getting no signals?
Try switching the two yellow plugs you did, sometimes they mislabel them
@@Kanbo11 two yellow plugs is all I got. The male connect label as camera R, female connecter is labeled Vout, but I’ll do what I can thanks for the reply
Are there any other RCA cables?
@@Kanbo11 nope
Put plug camera r to plug Dvr video
Please help what is that usb wire?? Is that even nessecary?
Depends on which model and from what company but it could be for wired CarPlay and usb for data
Thanks a lot! So you didn’t plug it in for urs?
@nosrekti4366 for this unit it didn’t have wired CarPlay so I just tuck it somewhere. I left the other usb port hidden but I can access it whenever if I need to do anything data related
