you are a lifesaver, thank you for the video.
My pleasure!
I installed it yesterday, works great!
what car did you install it on? was it hard? I'm def not a pro...
Jelena Mitrovic installed into my Highlander and was easy. The hardest part was just squeezing it in the rear. The screen in CarPlay mode is slightly fuzzy and contrasted for the backup camera some but it sure beats not having CarPlay. I give it thumbs up but also may explore replacing the head unit.
mbob awesome!
@GPap They have an adapter to connect the existing USB but I opted to run a separate so I can use my factory system the same not losing them.
Can you post a video or pictures of the screen using google maps and Apple Maps? I would like to see the clarity of the information on the screen especially text like the roads and streets. Are you happy with the unit? Any problems since the install? Thanks.
Thanks for this video. There is hope after all. I wanted the Infotainment screen of the 2020 Highlander XLE but the body style of the 2019 was more appealing to me.🤷🏽♀️ Do you know if this can void the warranty by doing this?
Chala Brooks as long as it is installed correctly will not void warranty
idd u get it?
did u end up getting it
Thanks Beat-Sonic. Very useful video and comments. Do you ship to Australia ?
Yes we ship to Australia
@@BeatSonicUS In the settings where your changing the volume to 56, there is an option for right hand drive (the side we drive in Australia) what does this do? and would we set it in Australia
@@jamescook8885 that will optimize the screen to make it more user friendly for right hand drive vehicles
Thanks Beat-Sonic. If I understand well, my only chance to get Android Auto in a Highlander 2017 is either your device, or installing a brand new Android Auto head unit (like Kenwood, or Sony, or others) right ?
That is correct
Thanks for this very detailed and easy to follow video.
Does this work with the 2017 Highlander XLE?
Yes this is compatible with 2017 Highlander as long as you don’t have the birds eye view camera
@@BeatSonicUS what about 2016 Highlander XLE?
Yes, i have the same question
Will these still be in stock tomorrow (12/15)? Or did they already come back in stock and sell out? The website doesn't list an expected back in stock date anymore.
They came in stock last week and sold out today morning. Check back again in a few days
We have an Highlander LE Plus with Entune Audio +. Want to ensure compatibility.
Also, would we be able to use the factory microphone?
Please find the model# and make information using this link and email it us at info@beatsonicusa.com to ensure compatibility: czcams.com/video/tEWCEVztvHs/video.html
Yes, it now uses the factory microphone
If you have loss of power or disconnect battery, do you need to reconnect the system by pulling out the head unit like you have to do with the front camera system? Thanks!
You will not have to with this kit installed.
Hi. I’m waiting for this to be available to purchase for my Highlander 2017 SE. do you carry a kit for Lexis GC 460
Our GX kit will be available next month
Do you need to plug in your phone to activate the carplay each time? Or can you active through the screen and connect via bluetooth?
Yes you need to plug in your phone every time
Hi, just wondering if this unit would work with the Australian version (2019 Toyota Kluger) I believe it is the same as the Highlander
Unfortunately we can’t confirm compatibility with vehicles outside N America
Two questions: First, you didn't show the placement of the device. Is there enough room to place it behind the radio and how did you attach it? Second, does it matter whether or not you have navigation on your Highlander as mine has that and it appears the one you are replacing doesn't have it?
Yes there is enough room right behind the radio and also towards the glove compartment. It doesn’t matter if you have navigation or not. Both are compatible.
Beat-Sonic thanks for the response!
This is awesome! do you have a list of shops that can install in Illinois? Northern IL? I have a 2015 Highlander Limited.
Email us and we can help info@beatsonicusa.com
@@BeatSonicUS I contacted you via email. Hope you can respond.
@@codysantor all emails will be responded to.
@@BeatSonicUS Thanks’ Just sent another email. I want to purchase but have no one who can install. I live in 60073
I have already installed front camera kit on mine can I still add this to my stereo?
Absolutely they work well together
Finally can see what is "behind the curtain". Been impossible to find this info - could you make a video that shows the entire back of the unit and show what each connection is for? The small bottom box on the unit...Is that the SiriusXM receiver? How can I get that upgraded? Toyota also shorted us there as well by only providing a basic receiver (limited channels) and not full access (all channels). I don't want to use my phone data for something that is already paid for. Do you offer something to fix this - or can I just upgrade the antenna/vehicle kit or is there a box to switch out and yet have the exact functionality as before? Thanks!
A local car stereo shop should be able to help
did u get it?
@@randomrazr no i haven't bought anything yet. Still looking. However, this product is the closest I have found. I really just want CarPlay/Android Auto and upgraded Sirius XM while keeping everything else in the factory radio (backup camera, steering controls, dashboard display, USB ports, etc). I wouldn't mind replacing the whole unit but again having all the features I want is challenging at an affordable price and ease of installation. Every full replacement with a new unit I've seen requires new microphones, GPS cables and the backup camera is iffy at best. So frustrating.
what about firmware upgrades, is this unit upgradable to fix bugs and add new features, to make sure it continues to support newer ios and android versions as the technology continue to improve. any installers in the DC/ Baltimore MD area. thank you for the great installation video. and review
Firmware updates will be provided for at least 5 years if needed. New features will be added if available. Any local reputable installer who is willing to read and follow instructions can install this kit as it is plug and play. My pleasure!
@@BeatSonicUS How would the firmware updates be installed, using the usb connection or would you have to remove it from the dash?
Depends on the update. Update for the Carplay box will be VIA USB connection. Any update to the interface will require you to access the interface box. We are not expecting any more firmware updates on the interface box.
@@BeatSonicUS what about Toyota Entune updates, is there a chance that those can affect the beat sonic interface? Also do you have a video or picture showing how to fit the interface behind the head unit? There doesn't seem too much space. Thanks!
Can it be used in combination with the “Beat-Sonic CS6EP Toyota Front Camera Interfacec”?
Yes, this can be installed together with Beat-Sonic CS6EP Toyota Front Camera Interface
Can a better microphone be added to the package to bypass the car's original? I have a 2016 and the mic is poor quality from what I hear from people who I talk to on my phone.
That is due to the iOS13 glitch that is not pushing calls to car Bluetooth. This can be fixed by selecting the vehicle bluetooth manually when calling or receiving calls on your phone. Or if you would like we can send you a microphone to use calls in AUX mode. Using vehicle's bluetooth will yield best calling experience but using another external microphone will be better than how you are using it currently. Please email us at info@beatsonicusa.com for the mic
I wanna daisychain this somehow with the bypass but theres no room for any more modules behind the radio. Would be cool to use bypass also as cable for carplay.
There’s room behind and top area of the radio. If you need more space you can go to the right side towards the glove box. If you need even more room, you can route the wire to under the glove compartment area behind the carpet.
Does it affect how the fan speed and temperature
is displayed?
It does not affect the climate control display
I have a 2017 Highlander XLE and a Samsung Note 10+. I don't see the etune 2.0, and etune 3.0 is not supported on models lower than 2018. Will the system listed on your website work on my car? Also, do you have any stores near Sacramento?
Yes our kit is compatible with 2017 highlander as long as you don’t have 360 camera. The closest installer to you is in the Bay Area. Please email us for the list of installers at info@beatsonicusa.com
Can you use the usb plug in that comes in the car under the a/c panel?
Yes!
Any update on if it will fit the Australian models? 2019 Kluger (Highlander)
Unfortunately due to the lack of information we are not supporting compatibility with vehicles outside the USA. We apologize for the inconvenience
When Apple car play is being used and you put the car in reverse does the regular back up camera w/ sensors kick in? Also, if you’re using Apple car play and you click on the Birdseye view button does that also work normally?
Yes, the regular backup camera with sensors will kick in when engaging reverse gear while in Carplay mode. Birdseye view button will also work normally.
I have a 2012 Toyota Highlander limited. If I buy the apple car play box, will the Highlander have the ploughing system same as the apple car play box that you were connecting in the video.
Unfortunately this is not compatible with 2012 Highlander
Is the controls on the steering wheel working in Carplay or the only option is using the touch screen? How to activate Siri?
Siri summon needs to be via touch screen, by pressing the lower bottom corner button. Or you may speak "hey Siri"
with highlander 2018 limited with birds eye view what do you recommend?
Unfortunately use don’t have a carplay solution for your car. We do have a phone mirroring solution
Hi what stereo is that you installed? I have a 2014 Toyota Highlander and my radio played out twice. I need a new system. I’m wondering what is a good unit with car play.
This is the Carplay/Android Auto addon to the factory radio: www.beatsonicusa.com/toyotacarplayandroidauto.html
I read on your site that with Highlanders equipped with the 360 Birdseye view it is not compatible? Are you going to be coming out with a kit for these kinds models?
At the moment we don’t have any plans to release a carplay kit compatible with 360 cam equipped highlanders. However we have smartphone mirroring kits that’s compatible
@@BeatSonicUSthat's too bad. Biggest thing keeping me from updating. Is there one that allows wireless screen mirroring?
Do you recommend where can I buy this car play module for my 2019 Toyota Highlander? The local businesses do not sell the harness for the 2019 Highlander and want me to change out the entire head unit
You can purchase it at beatsonicusa.com and we will ship it to you for free. Please note it is currently out of stock and will be restocking in a few weeks. Please sign up to be notified when the item comes back in stock directly on the product page
When you say. Entire head unit- does that mean /include the screen? My screen is not very responsive so I’m wondering if a new head unit will be ideal for me
This generation of Highlander was notorious for radio reset issues due to the Eutune unit. We recently bought a 2015 and it has the same issues (radio unit constantly shutting off / resetting, especially when connected to Bluetooth). Does this method get around those problems, or is it best to just replace the entire unit with an aftermarket stereo?
Adding our kit won’t fix any preexisting conditions unfortunately
I have a 2015 with no issues, however if you want to replace ur radio, I'd suggest either the ATOTO or Joying radio units...Or the saiata Radio is good as well (might have spelled wrong)
I see that Kino Flo Inc decal there hmmm... is the owner of that Highlander work in Burbank, CA at Kino ?
No idea
will this work in Australian version (Kluger 2019) ?
Yes, please email us your radio model# and make to confirm. Info@beatsonicusa.com
Quick question. So when you use CarPlay, it uses the external mic connected to your device and not the mic that is built into the vehicle by Toyota?
Our current kits now use mic that’s built into the vehicle by Toyota
Hey, I saw the question about the 360 camera and your response that it says it dosen't effect it, however when i go to order one on your website (with the link provided) it says that it is not compatible with the 360 system, can you clarify this. Do all the regualr factory menus/ and setting work with this system as well? Also you ship to Canada right?
I apologize for the confusion. Initially we thought the 360 camera would not make a difference but when we actually tested it would not work. We are working on a solution now but don’t expect to have one until the end of the year as our development has been temporarily halted due to coronavirus.
@@BeatSonicUS of course, thank you for the quick response, if we were to purchase this do you think the fix would be a new product or just an update, should i wait to purchase until you have a solution.
Wade Hemrica it would just be a firmware update but will require a special tool to update it. As such you should wait until we have the fix
@@BeatSonicUS any chance you have found a solution for the 360 camera yet?
Can you play the built-in SiriusXM's music while using Android Auto Waze?
Yes, you will need to download the XM Radio app on your phone. Or you can use the car's native XM radio while in Android Auto Waze mode but the turn by turn direction will not be audible
Would it be possible to something like this on a 2018 Toyota Yaris iA?
Edit: I see that this product is compatible with it but will I run into any errors regarding having a certain OS version on the infotainment system? (To specify I have 59.00.572 and I don't wanna go through the trouble of making a serial connection to install firmware, so would installing this go around that?)
You won't run into any iOS errors. As long as your phone is functioning normally you won't run into any issues.
It looks like the signal is stretched vertically a bit, is it like that on every car? Or does it depend on the screen?
It depends on the screen
I have 2015 LE PLUS so the factory radio is small.my question is,does this product comes with an different bezel to fit in the big screen?
This product does not come with a new screen or bezel. It reuses the screen that you have
With this integration would we still have the “easy speak” Toyota functionality?
The voice command button on the steering wheel will not work while in carplay mode
Can you install an entune system to a regular 2018 highlander that doesn't have the navigatioin?
Yes it is compatible with all trims
Will this be compatible with iOS 14 when it comes out this fall?
Yes this will be compatible with ios14
when will this be available for my 2016 toyota highlander limited? really need this
As long as you don’t have the 360 cam it’s compatible with your highlander. Product link in description
Hi, does this effect the reverse/360 camera functions? And if yes, how?
fahad din no it does not affect reverse/360 camera functions
Beat-Sonic Your website specifically says it’s not compatible with the 360/Birdseye system. Which is correct?
@@2old4allthis I'm curious about this also
I only have reverse camera not 360, does that help me w compatibly?
Is it possible listen music from the flash drive when AppleCarPlay is on?
Yes it is possible to listen to music from flash drive while Carplay is on. However, the turn by turn direction voice will not be heard
If Apple Carplay is being used, can you play the car radio stations at the same time or is your only option to play music and radio through your iPhone apps?
Yes, you can play the car radio stations at the same time. However, the turn by turn direction sound will not be heard. To make it work, we recommend downloading the radio application on your phone.
Are you aware of a wireless option becoming available any time soon?
We are hoping before the end of the year
Any plans to put this kit on to a Toyota Carrolla 2017 model
This same kit is compatible with 2017 Toyota Corolla www.beatsonicusa.com/toyotacarplayandroidauto.html
My volume was already set at 56, is there any way to get more volume? I’ve only tried a phone call. Any tips on where to put the two boxes and wires? Doesn’t seem to be much room behind the unit.
I finally got it all to fit! Next one will be easier 😂😂. It is actually a pretty easy installation. Your videos are what makes it that way. I have a 2014 Highlander. Any volume advice?
Please email us at info@beatsonicusa.com. Looks like some customers are experiencing volume issues from this batch. We should have a solution in a few days as we are looking I o this matter
I have a 2019 XLE Highlander. How do you secure these new boxes like the CarPlay/and the other. Do they just float behind the existing radio? I really like the idea but it would be nice to know how the new hardware is secured. Entune is such garbage. Thanks in advance.
If you have the model with JBL, since you have a speaker right behind the radio it’s going to be a super tight fit. I recommend dropping the glove box and mounting it behind the carpet towards the center console from the passenger side
@@BeatSonicUS no JBL so fit is much easier?
Will I lose capability to adjust my factory vehicle selections? For instance, making fob unlock all doors instead of one, alert volume, change Home Screen…
No you won’t lose those functions
Will this unit support future iterations of CarPlay and/or iOS? I’m considering purchasing but want to be sure the investment will be worth it over the long term.
Yes this will support future iterations of Carplay and iOS. If it does not we will provide firmware updates
@@BeatSonicUS how do you release those updates? Via my cell and then when I plug into the car special USB?
Is there another product to install on a 2018 highlander with birds eye video camera system?
Unfortunately not that we know of
Si well this work for a 2019 highland SE plus? Or am I doing something wrong
As long as it doesn’t have the 360 cam it should work. To know for certain email us the radio model number and make info info@beatsonicusa.com
Does this work for Canadian 2017 Toyota Prius V with Navi but without entune? Thanks
We can check please email us at info@beatsonicusa.com
Do you loose the ability to use Easy Speak when you’d witch from OEM to CarPlay screen layout?
Voice command button on steering wheel won’t work when in carplay mode
Hi
I am In Australia and I have kluger/Highlander 2016
I want this for my car.
Where can get that?
We can ship to you in Australia. Please email us and our team can assist: info@beatsonicusa.com
How does this affect the 360 bird view in the 2018 highlander ? You guys listed it as not compatible
This is not compatible with the 360 birds eye view equipped highlanders
Does that just mean the 360 won't work while using it in apple/android mode? Can you toggle back to factory mode and use 360 view?
Or does that mean that this unit won't work at all in Birdseye 360 equipped vehicles.
How the “bleep” do you fit all this back into the dash?!? Shoving it in doesn’t work and the HDMI cable disconnects under pressure.
There’s some room behind the radio between the top dash and right below it. Small opening is you don’t have the top dash speaker. Also some room on the right side of the radio towards the glove box. If you have the full optioned highlander you’ll have to organize the wires and move them around to keep all the open areas “flat with all the extra wires and harnesses. Also turn the connectors to be flat and parallel to the radio.
Is there a way where you could not use the audio power button to activate carplay. I wanna use carplay in conjunction with the radio
Yes you can leave the source in radio mode. But turn by turn direction will not sound
Will you be adding support for entune 3.0 on the 2019 Corolla hatchback?
We don't have any plans at the moment. But this may change in the future.
@@BeatSonicUS well I'd love to buy when and if it does happen.
Brandon Watkins awesome. Please follow our CZcams page as it will be announced here when it does happen
@@BeatSonicUS Will do! Thanks.
Will I be able to activate Siri / Google Assistant using the voice button on my steering wheel?
The voice button on the steering wheel is locked to the toyota voice commands. You will have to long press the bottom right corner of the carplay interface to active Siri or you can also state your command “hey Siri”
The factory USB port on my 2014 Highlander does not provide enough power to charge my iPhone XS (apparently it’s a common issue). If I buy the extra USB harness to that it uses the factory USB port, will it provide more power so that it will charge my phone? Or will I have to route the extra USB port somewhere to get more power?
The charging power will be similar to factory whether you use the additional USB harness or to use the supplied usb extension cable
Beat-Sonic so if my factory USB doesn’t provide enough power now for my phone, will the CarPlay even work?
Yes it will still work.
Can I install 2019 highlander radio into 2017 highlander? I want apple car pay and my 2017 highlander don't or can you give other options!! Thanks 👍👍👍
I don’t think 2019 highlander comes with carplay. You can use our kit to retrofit a carplay to your 2017 highlander! Check description for link or visit us at beatsonicusa.com
Do you have in stock and are you doing installs? If no stock, what is wait time usually?
Unfortunately out of stock now. Current wait is at least 3 months. You’ll get pushed up in line if you get it installed by us. Email us to get on the list info@beatsonicusa.com

Unfortunately we haven’t confirmed compatibility with vehicles outside N America
while in apple car play mode, the USB audio will not work since source is on Aux, right?
You can change the source to usb to hear music through usb audio
what do you do with the two boxes that have usb cables on, once you mount the radio behind
Only one box has the usb. You can either use the USB adapter to use factory usb or use the usb extension cable and route it separately
Why NOT use the new adapter/to continue using the original USB port? What would be the reason for running a new usb wire off to the side? What do people lose when they choose to do one over the other?
sorry. i'm not savy enough to do this myself. can you tell me what parts you need so I can ask a car audio place what I want installed?
You just need this www.beatsonicusa.com/toyotacarplayandroidauto.html
Can you explain what the USB Harness Cable allows you to do?
It allows you to use the factory USB port for Carplay/Android Auto
@@BeatSonicUS What is part number and cost of the usb harness cable?
does this work with the 2019 Highlander LE with a basic factory radio (non Entune)?
Yes compatible with 2019 basic radio highlander

How come your website posting on this model stating that this is not compatible with the 360 camera highlander
Because if you have 360 camera the kit is not compatible
will this work on a 2019 highlander xle with no entune? if it does work without you having entune what will be the difference when you install it to a non entune vs having entune?
Yes, this kit is also compatible with 2019 with no entune as well. Installation process will be exactly the same.
what will be the difference when you install it to a non entune vs a car that has entune? and any NYC installers/sellers?
There will be no difference when you install to a non entune vs a car that has entune. Any reputable local installer will be able to install for you. It is plug and play
