Your the man Eric. Another great install video 😊

[@BeatSonicUS]

Thank you!!

[@drag1030]

You installed Apple Car Play in my 2014 Lexus GX 460 and I love it

[@BeatSonicUS]

Awesome! Glad you’re enjoying it!

[@jshi8294]

Bought two units in the last two years, one for GX and one for RX. Love them!! GX is much easier to install due to the size. RX is too tight and I have to cut some plastic in the bay area. Follow the Eric video for setup, not the instruction paper which is out dated for the latest RX. So far so happy.

Thanks for sharing!

Hi, ordered on Monday, received it on Wednesday! And I’m in the United Kingdom! Very fast delivery, it was relatively easy to install myself, but, do not be fooled, it looks very easy and fast on the CZcams, it is easy, but definitely not fast doing it yourself, took me good 2 hrs, shame you can’t fly here and install it :) just kidding. Otherwise, very pleased, thank you!

[@BeatSonicUS]

Thanks for sharing!and glad everything got installed without any issues!

I installed it today with zero issues. It isn’t cheap, but it’s completely worth it because it feels like a factory unit. Mine boots up on its own without pressing any buttons when the car turns on and brings up CarPlay flawlessly every time. Sound quality for both calls and music is exactly the same as the factory unit (I’ve read other units that route audio through aux have echo issues). Even the trackpad controls are easier to use than I expected. My only wishlist item is to be able to summon Siri using the steering wheel voice button, but tapping the menu button is easy enough.
If you’re watching this wondering if it’s worth it - it is 100% worth it.

[@BeatSonicUS]

Thank you for your feedback! We’re pleased to hear that you are satisfied with our kit. You may also summon Siri by pressing and holding the phone call pick up button

HI. Really great to hear someone that had a good experienc with the kit. We are thinking of buying a 2016 RX350 F-Sport with Mark Levinson sound system. It is not VIN# compatible with the OEM upgrade so I am looking for alternatives. Which vehicle did you install this on. Does your car have Mark Levinson Sound System?

[@BeatSonicUS]

@@groovymoon our kit is compatible with all the trims including the one with Mark Levinson

[@groovymoon]

@@BeatSonicUS Thanks

[@BeatSonicUS]

@@groovymoon you’re welcome!

[@kiykim277]

Got to get one for my wife!! ❤

[@BeatSonicUS]

You’ll make someone very happy!

[@IlIIlIlIll]

Great video!
Can this be setup without a mouse pointer and instead use a more “iPad-like" pointer where it just snaps from app to app?

[@BeatSonicUS]

Thank you! We found that the free flowing pointer works the best

[@scgraphics339]

Hi! Does the navigation still show up on the hud? Great video btw

[@BeatSonicUS]

Thanks! It won’t unless you use the factory nav

[@sijel]

Just ordered my kit :)
Where do I get those pink and blue tools?

[@BeatSonicUS]

Thank you! The panel removal tools? You can get them on Amazon

[@groovymoon]

Will this work with 2016 RX350 F-Sport with Mark Levinson Sound System? I already checked with my local Lexus dealer about an OEM upgrade and the RX350 we want to buy is not, based on VIN#, compatible with the OEM dealer installed upgrade.

[@BeatSonicUS]

Yes this is compatible with 2016 RX F Sport with Mark Levinson Sound System.

[@nate_plays1]

How's the sound quality difference over factory installed apple carplay?

[@BeatSonicUS]

It’s exactly the same. We use the factory Bluetooth audio source. You can also connect your iPhone via usb and select iPod source for audio

[@northstar5405]

Great job...👍

[@BeatSonicUS]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@northstar5405]

@@BeatSonicUS I love to see how you install LEDS underneath the Lexus

[@BeatSonicUS]

@@northstar5405 maybe a new project!

[@mingwong7729]

Does it works on 2018 RX350L?

[@BeatSonicUS]

Yes it does

[@rizhiy1]

I have another companies aftermarket apple CarPlay. When I control it using the controller. The OEM system is also controller. When using the steering wheel next and previous songs. It skips a song. Anyone else have these issues? Installed through the company.

[@BeatSonicUS]

Sounds like an annoying issue. Our kits don’t have any of those issues
