I had some problems with the installation and these guys helped me quickly to solve it, quality customer service they help you if you have any problems with the installation. Highly recommended.
1) What happens to the two USB audio input connectors in the glovebox. Is that the interface for wired carplay? 2) Is it still the AUX input for the OEM setup? 3) Do these still charge the iphone? 4) if there is an alternative USB cable involved does it also charge phone and would its USB cable long enough so that it can be routed to Glovebox?
I just had the Hamilton kit installed in my 2018 RX. It was a bit problematic to get it installed - I took it to an installer as I have no skills in that area. The installer was able to get on Facetime with Hamilton Tech Support and get everything figured out. Now that it's in, the screen is great. I already had a 12" screen but now it's touch screen and has Car Play. It works really great and all my Car Play apps work perfectly. Also, everything else with my car still works as before - the backup camera, the ML sound system, steering wheel controls and also easily changes back to the OEM screen. I highly recommend the Hamilton system - it's well worth the price.
You’re right. I just received my unit for my 2018 Lexus RX 350 and the harness diagram is way different from what I have going on. I have to email the company - the Car Play works but there’s no sound when accessing anything that plays audio and it took me hours to figure out how to install the mouse joystick as well. Something that should be more evident and detailed in the installation manual.
@@seanblinn1able I will need to contact them. Somehow everything works except from reverse cam. In video they say 3 cables go into main console, I could only connect 2 (really big one and one called audio). None of the other openings matched, so I think wrong harness was sent.
Hey guys, the one here is the 2016-2019 Lexus RX with the factory 8 inch screen and knob. Your wiring probably looks a bit different because you have the 12 inch factory screen with the mouse. Whether you have the factory 12 or 8 inch screen, you will get the same brand new 12.3 inch screen from us. It just affects what type of wiring harness we send you. If you have the mouse version, the installation is basically the same as this video. There is a .pdf manual on our website manual page called the 2016-2019 Lexus RX Mouse Supplement. It will show you the different steps for the mouse version.
If you have the mouse version two cables will connect behind the center control unit (instead of three) and one connects physically under the mouse. You can scan the QR code in your box or shoot us a call/email and we can send you the pdf mouse supplement.

USB ports for wired CarPlay. Our system will use the Aux input. Your factory USBs still work for charging.

This wiring installation video is useless for newer 2015+ models. Wiring is different.
