FAQ

  • Q: How can I get this unit installed in my vehicle and how much it would cost me?
  • A: You will have to purchase it from our website and either DIY the installation or have a local professional stereo shop do it for you. Installation labor fee will vary depending on the shop's hourly rate which can range from $100-$200/hour. This install may take several hours depending on the shop's experience and expertise.
  • Q: Can I listen to the car's radio or SAT radio while in Carplay / Android Auto mode?
  • A: You may listen to the car's native radio or SAT radio while in Carplay / Android Auto mode. However, you will not be able to hear Siri and turn by turn voice guidance. Instead, you may download the SAT radio application and/or radio application on your phone so that you may listen to the radio / SAT radio while in Carplay / Android Auto mode and hear Siri/turn by turn voice guidance.

Good company, good product

If you are hesitant about the price or difficulty of installation, don’t be! Works as advertised. I was a little nervous about installing the product on my wife’s ‘21 GX460, but taking my time and following YouTube videos from beat sonic, I was done in under two hours start to finish. Of note, if you follow along the videos, one of the harnesses has been eliminated (written instructions mention this), but it confused me a little bit during the install as I am a stereo/wiring novice. Would buy again!

Works perfectly!

Got this unit to use Apple Car Play in my 2019 GX 460. Works as advertised. Directions, installation videos and customer support from Eric made installation easier than anticipated. Nice to have Apple Car Play on my factory system ????

Excellent product

Purchased and installed this myself for my 2019 GX 460. The product works as advertised. The quick response customer service from Eric, coupled with his clear instructions and YouTube videos made installation surprisingly easy. Would highly recommend this product for anyone looking to use Apple CarPlay or android auto with their factory Lexus navigation system.

Great solution

I was really missing Android Auto in my GX, and after looking at the competing products to add it, decided on this one for the form factor and less intensive software and settings dealings. Very happy with my choice. This was literally plug and play, no settings or set up to deal with at all, and it's working flawlessly. Did the install myself and it took about 2.5 hours (including installing crawl control while I had the console open anyway.) I decided against using the blank USB insert next to the steering column, as I didn't want the cable hanging across the dash to the phone. I ordered the following from Amazon: "BATIGE Square Single Port USB 3.0 Panel Flush Mount Extension Cable with Buckle for Car Truck Boat Motorcycle Dashboard 3ft" and dremeled out a matching hole in the side of the front change bin. Lots of free space there to run the cable underneath, the port is practically invisible, and then my phone can rest in that bin while plugged in. Install was easy with the video provided by Beat-Sonic; the only small challenge was figuring out exactly how to arrange the two boxes under the console to get everything to fit and close back up.
