This product looks pretty nice. Can you please let me know what makes the beat-sonic adapter a better choice than others i hear about like Navix or Grom. Every installer ive talked with has one in particular they partner with. Thank you!
Our kit has been approved by Lexus USA to be available at Lexus Dealerships across the US. Our kit is the only kit that routes all audio to the car’s Bluetooth for the best sound quality. You may even connect to the car’s usb directly for better sound. In addition, our wireless connection time is only 6 seconds and faster than the time it takes for the Lexus system to fully load. Ours is also the most reliable and trusted in the marketplace
Thank you. do you think someone with no installation experience (Me) could install this myself?
I am concerned about damaging something during the process.
Just curious, is there a reason that niether the beatsonic nor other aftermarket systems are able to use the oem haptic feedback, and snap/focus the cursor to specific items on the screen? I feel like that would be helpful in reducing the distraction of having to precisely move the cursor without any feedback while driving.
It’s possible but with the expense of fully dedicated engineers being on this project for 6 plus months.
Does this use the factory microphone? I saw that it has a microphone connector but I didn’t see you mount it.
Also, when the car goes in reverse does the camera automatically switch?
Really thinking about purchasing one for my GS.
Yes this uses the factory microphone. And the reverse camera will show when you put your vehicle to reverse gear from either carplay screen or oem screen
Can i use your older model for Apple car play and make it wireless in other words add to it to make it wireless or do I need to buy a whole new kit ? I have the older model to this but want to make it wireless
Unfortunately the old kit is not upgradeable as we had to change the harness and both boxes for the newer wireless kits
If I take my car to the dealership, is there any worry of them hurting the system when servicing the car? / If they do a system check would they accidentally reset anything?
There’s nothing to be concerned about taking your car to the dealership with our kit installed. They won’t know it’s installed. Also no risk of resetting anything
What about the sound quality? Is it as good as the wired connection? Can it be both wired and wireless? This is for CarPlay.
Sound quality is exactly the same as factory since we now route all the audio to the car’s Bluetooth. You may even connected wired directly to the car usb and select IPOD on the car audio source for better audio quality
Hey mate quick question is that oem ambient light?
I think it was aftermarket
If I were to buy this kit, where in my area I can’t get this professionally installed? I’m in upstate NY
We can find you a shop. Please email us at info@beatsonicusa.com
Can this be delivered to Australia? Only USA and Canada options are available on site.
Yes we can ship to Australia. Please email us photo of your car screen, joystick controller, delivery address and phone number info@beatsonicusa.com
Is the car lighter plug a higher amp charging option than the usb plug of this kit?
Yes usually. You can get over 3amps on the lighter plug. Ours is 2.1amps
Any dahsboard rattles after putting the things back together?
Never
If I am buying a 2016 Lexus GS350 that has a broken radio console, can I replace it with an apple CarPlay console? Or do I need to fix it and then add the apple car play?
You will need to replace it first
Ive been getting really bad static after a couple of weeks and its been insanely annoying 😅
How can i fix this without opening up the front dash ?
Please email us for tech support info@beatsonicusa.com
Did you ever get this fixed? My biggest fear of buying this is installing it and then needing to opening up the dash again for any reason.
@@t415x no :/
How does it stack up against Grom Vline2? Is it better?
It’s more reliable, faster and more responsive. Ours don’t have any glitches
Be gentle with the display screen. The clear plastic cover alone costs almost $500 (and that was 28% below msrp). And the black frame trim piece is $71. I looked for used options and all I could find was the entire display unit and the cheapest I found was $650.
Always! We handled more than a few hundred of these in the last 10 years
Is there any audio quality loss?
No audio quality loss since the audio now routes to the car Bluetooth or USB
i have a 2015 will this work the same?
Yes it will work with 2015. Only difference is that you won’t get full screen. Instead only 3/4ths of the screen will show carplay
@@BeatSonicUS well damn, no way around it? not even a new screen? wanna watch movies on it lol
@@yertzz5072 you can get a new screen and a radio. This kit won’t show videos. But our smartphone mirroring kit will IF-04BEP
How much for installation?
It varies based on the shop rate. You can email us for ours info@beatsonicusa.com
Is there any way for the system to boot directly to Apple carplay on start up?
Unfortunately there isn’t.
You guys install?
Yes we do! Please email us to schedule an appointment info@beatsonicusa.com
Does your system view CZcams
This system won’t work with CZcams as apple and google won’t allow it in their carplay and android auto systems but this works to watch CZcams www.beatsonicusa.com/if04ep.html/
