Bro Thank you so much for an in-depth honest 3 month review. I've been contemplating on getting this for the longest time. You sir are Awesome. 👍😊
I hope I highlighted enough pros and cons to make this video even worth watching haha.
@@thehuangbros oh you have bro. Thanks a lot for making the time and effort to put up this video. 👍😊
@@joe_rc350 no problem. Everyone is always asking anyways haha. In my opinion tho, it is worth it.
Thankyou for your in depth video! highly appreciated! I assume Spotify works along with Waze just nicely! Do the buttons from the steering wheel work with Spotify to change songs/volume etc... or just the screen's built-in media?
The buttons work the screen to change, repeat songs from any app. Yeap spotify works. Whatever app you see other carplay systems working with, this one can also handle. I just dont have spotify so it didnt pop up haha. But if u saw the screen there was amazon music and iheartradio. So im sure spotify works
Thank you for providing all the info! I just did a 6 hour road trip with my unit and it definitely made the trip more enjoyable. I also took your advice on the ergo trackpad and now the unit is used every day during daily driving. Can't live without it now.
Omg you dont know how happy it makes me to hear someone took my advice on the ergo touchpad. Youre the second one that I know of. Isnt it great?!? This screen is almost perfect now and we dont have to lean in to use the touchscreen anymore. Thanks for watching and supporting the videos. 👍🏼👌🏼
Lol the smoking part, so many people told me about that and I've had my unit for over half a year. This is one of the best mods for the daily driver!
Dude totally. So many people that sells other similar screens say that to me every time they talk to me. Its all I hear them saying when people ask about this screen upgrade. I totally agree and its such a daily driver friendly mod. Never has it smoked but for sure when it does smoke Im going to post about it but it has not. 🤷🏻♂️
I want to get one and concerned about it breaking in less than 5yrs. Haha.. idk if it can withstand being baked in the sun.
I purchased one of these for my 2014 IS350 and it's been a massive headache. The steering wheel controls don't work and the regular volume knob doesn't work. I actually can't even get any music to play unless it's through bluetooth on the OEM side.
Additionally, the User Experience SUCKS. It takes forever for the carplay to activate and it doesn't automatically activate when you start the car, you have to go through 4 key presses to get it going. Huge regrets paying $650 for this garbage.
What is your model? also you may want to try to access extra setting under factory settings you'll need a password for that mine is m123456 others 123456 or126 or 3368 if none if these work message the seller they should provide it. Once you get access to extra settings you'll find an option call CAN-BUS choose you car make and model then move out of that and look for wheel key study (Steering Wheel Control Settings) and program the keys. Hope this helps
Yeah once he said how long he has to wait for the CarPlay to start It made me consider not getting this. Will more than likely go with the Grom box
Nice review! Would you consider trying to retrofit the newer models that already have the bigger screens with Apple CarPlay? I feel like that would be a smoother option but obviously going to be more expensive
It would be a better replacement but there is a lot more pieces to that than just the screen. I believe the whole oem touchpad would need to be replaced, screen , and the whole oem factory navigation computer which is not the oem screen btw. It is that entire section with the cd player and micro sd navigation cars. So you would need to remove all of that and try to fit all of that assuming the oem wires fit the new models.
Is there a version the has digital audio out either coax or optical. I removed the mark levinson in my unit and installed an audio Fischer helix 12channel dsp amp. With Accuton speakers
Thanks for the video man, I realized I would not have the patience for this. Especially waiting 2 to 3 mins for Carplay and the oem touch pad not working
Yeap. Its not too bad tho. You start car, sit there wait for engine to warm a little and it ends up like no waiting
How do you get the Lexus car info image to display on the main screen?
Beat Sonics apple CarPlay integration has way less nuance than this. It doesn’t have the larger screen but the amount of special crap you have to do for this to work properly is gross. Besides my steering wheel track up not working once in a while it works flawlessly.
Ohhh if you want to adjust the sterring wheel controls, once Qlink pops up, go to settings. You can can reprogram the steering wheel buttons to your liking.
Really Daniel? Dang im going to try this tomorrow then. Are you referring to the reverse button functions set originally?
In my case only the next button works, when i program any others the unit doesn't recognize them.
On certain models the settings for SWC can be found under factory settings (which has a number of extra settings like canbus etc) but you need to enter a code some are 123456 or m123456 or 126 or 3368 but if these don't work shoot a message to the seller they show provide one thats specific to your model
Hey, just my 2 cents worth. I bought an Android 10 unit (64Gb RAM) for my IS350 F Sport (in Australia), it also has wired Carplay and Android Auto. BUT for an extra $10 fee (you have to contact them to ask for this), you get WIRELESS Carplay! Much better, no need to plug it in, you can just jump in the car and drive and when the unit is ready it auto-connects to Carplay. Plus the unit itself is much faster, no lag or freezes so far (I've had it for around 3 months also). I am in the process of installing a 360 camera unit to go with it.
Which brand is it? Lexion, YZG, or some other brand ?
@@thehuangbros it was a brand called Navirider. Here is the link to the one for my car but they’ve got one for lots of other Lexus models too.

@@raymonddsouza8948 oh nice android 10. There are so many companies out there making similar products. Thanks for sharing.
@@thehuangbros No worries!
@@raymonddsouza8948 Hello Raymond, Is it still working great today? I'm considering buying one for my Lexus CT !
trying to find one of these for is350 2017, iv heard horror stories about these aftermarket screens though, you go through so much issues it ends up pissing you off, i might just get phone holder and spotify car thing and call it a day until someone makes a professional high quality version of this screen
Might be a long time til then. Im almost 2 years with mine come August
i need to catch up on these videos sheesh
Haha have you been missing out?
@@thehuangbros yes been busy lately lol
Great review have just fitted a 10.25 screen to my Lexus IS300h. Only had it in 2 days and I love it. I have found if you press and hold the menu button you can switch between the 2 screens. Defo taking your advise and getting a mouse so I can navigate the Android screen. Recommend any app’s to add ?? 👍👍
If you look for a recent video, I managed to hook up a OBD2 Reader to the screen. Its fantastic. The trackpad mouse is not needed but it has helped me so much since installing it. Do you feel a need to add it?
th-cam.com/video/cVjMaoiiiRs/w-d-xo.html
Is this compatible with 2020 IS300 Fsport?
Oh. Yeah you cannot use that screen as a touchscreen. There’s a reason Lexus put touchpads and mice in as the oem control. That screen is way too far from the driver’s easy reach. It’s far past the plane of the steering wheel and climate controls. And I’m not effing with 2 goofy touch pads especially not with that tiny mouse pointer that doesn’t snap to the icons. Pass until they integrate the OEM touchpad.
The hem touchpad does work. I just added the ergo touchpad for personal reasons. Also it is faster response.
I finally got everything working just about right in mine except for the reverse camera. Everything should be hooked up right. Had the setting switch to AV Output and the screen changed to black with the reverse guide lines but no video. Any ideas??
Look for my install video and go to the end where I demonstrate how to get the video to show unless that is what youre talking about already
@@thehuangbros yep, changed that reverse setting under automobile settings.
@@Spinnywhoosh I suggest inspecting all of the pins to make sure they arent bent. One of mine were bend on plugs.
The group buy was $480, I think it was worth it for that price!
Damn that was cheap. But I decided to give it a perspective as if I didnt do a group buy for those new to the idea of a screen 😅
Does the factory mic work and have you experienced any connectivity issues with your phone
Hi how did u get the group buy?
What is password for car setting
Guys if you're debating about buying it, just ask yourself are you using it mainly for CarPlay or android auto? If that's the case then buy it you will love it but of course it will twitch sometime cause its aftermarket/3rd party unit. If you are planning on using all the unit have to offer such as playing games using youtube or maps on the android side then i suggest you rethink about buying it cause the experience isn't nice but having a 10 inch screen itself is amazing. Just a heads up all sellers sell different type of this unit and will run the same to simliar apps so make sure to ask a lot of question before buying. BUY ONLY IF YOU MAINLY USE CARPLAY/AA.
Great point. I cant do without carplay and a big waze app anymore. 🤣
@@thehuangbros Same i cannot go back to a tiny screen with a useless Navi.LOL
@@ounkavy the only thing i liked about it was the talk to talk function where i can input the address while driving. But waze and carplay is just a whole other level.
I was planning on buying this not only because the screen is bigger but mainly to play youtube videos while driving. Im andriod user but was curious if its better to use hotspot rather than phone being connected to usb.
@@rigoroman6287 hotspot allows you to use the youtube app on the screen. Plugging in usb to phone will only connect the audio, no visuals.
Which version of the display/processor (is it QUALCOMM?) and is it the 4gb or 8gb ram version? Thanks!
Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38
Why cant they just make a simple carplay device that works all the time made by apple
🤷🏻♂️
Dang my bimmertech mmi box is Soo fast to load Its sad to see Lexus this slow
🤷🏻♂️
If anyone is still watching this video. I needs help. I got a identical system installed with android 10 but the oem screen does not turn on. The only difference my lexus model has the knob kind a mouse. Pls if anyone can help. Just got it installed and planning to uninstall and go back to the OEM screen. (just to note when the dealer tried to re-install the original head unit the oem screnn was not showing info) could there be a software problem? So mad at myself.
Is this a lexion or something like mine?
@@thehuangbros i have the lexus IS 200 T 2016 model
@@clinstonp27 im asking what brand is the aftermarket screen 😄
You went over all the settings except for one of the most important ones
You didn't show video
So does it have video and what does the screen look like if it shows videos also if it shows videos how do you download movies, music and other items to the scream if you have an Android phone or any other device as well
Where did you get your shift knob and radio knobs? Thanks.
Hey, great vid and thanks for the track pad tip might be putting some money for something like this on the RX350, do you mind sharing your machine model it should be under settings then choose About System it should show MCU build version, etc. Thanks in advance
This android screen is in my Lexus RCF. It wont be compatible with your RX350 if thats whats youre wondering.
@@thehuangbros I do know there's variation to the RX350 unit but the MCU should be identical
The android version on mine completely stopped working. It just gets stuck trying to load it /:
I havent experienced that yet but I have heard of someone informing me about this too
@@thehuangbros yeah they also sent me a new one but the exact same thing happened! Got to the the point wear I got tired of messing with it and juts left it alone
@@pr3787 how long before it got to that point?
On my RC350 F Sport,Nav.is an Aggregation ,Slow,Wouldn't Let me Put an Address w/same 2 consecutive #'s on a street address last time I used it.
Into which app? The google maps or waze or apple maps?
Great video, thank you. What do you use to secure top part of screen?
I wonder if the new 2021 RC screen with built in android auto will be a direct replacement for the old OEM unit. Anyone you know try this yet ? Could speak to a dealer and check
I installed the same one everything works but i have no sound , wondering if you cane across this issue
Where can i get the touchpad? The amazon link doesn't work. Do you have any substitutes for that? I feel like it's an absolute must, since the screen is so far away. And lastly, when you do have the touchpad, how do you connect it to the screen?
Connect to the 2 usb dongles from screen. Um if that link does not work, then i am not sure
Junk
Thank you very much for your time and your video! The unit looks pretty cool but, I might be a little "naive" or somethin, but I prefer putting a little more bucks into a fresher Lexus rather than installing an unofficial unit that hasn't passed the QC tests of Toyota, that has an unknown lifespan, uknown conflicts with other elements of the car, etc. And as you said: "it drains my battery", "you have to install another tochpad", "the music doesn't work", "put the wire here, there", "it's laggy", etc. etc. Just put a phone holder, connect to Bluetooth and you're done 🙂
It may seem a stupid question but you ever try to adjust the Mouse/Trackpad pointer speed for the OEM mouse pad somewhere under settings on the new screen.
I know the Lexion Carplay & Android Auto Display model has that option.
To slow it down?
Hi, where did you get the air vent/clock black trim from please?
Ebay to be honest. I think it has a nice touch
The touch screen itself is good quality? Easy get scratch from touching it? Thanks!
Its not noticeable when the unit is on. When unit is off, still not noticeable. If you stare at it then sure minor finger scuffs. Minor though
Can the UI be navigated completely through the touchscreen? I see that the ergo TouchPad is extremely useful, but I'm not sure whether I'll be using the TouchPad a lot, if touchscreen is usable.
It helps because i know for myself its a lot of leaning forward reaching for the screen
Good video
What phone mount are you using?
32 seconds load up.
Thanks for counting. Even tho I made this video, Ive never even counted 😂
@@thehuangbros no prob, keep up the good work dude. 👌
@@luisacevedo8699 thanks Luis. Appreciate that
My question is will this work with the lexus that has a mouse instead of a touch pad ? (I HAVE A 2014 IS350 F SPORT )
Itll work as long as you have navi feature. The non navi lexus requires different harness
@@thehuangbros oh I see 👌 thanks for the reply
How is it 1 year later? Is this the YZG module as that’s the one I’m considering getting.
I like what I have as it works. But try lexionusa instead
How is the sound quality when playing audio through it ? Is it any worse than playing directly through the OEM bluetooth \ usb ?
Its good. Not bad at all. Not sure why it would sound bad.
Is there a way to enable quick boot up/start up on this unit. I’ve seen that some android have this option but enabling “sleep mode” when the car is off.
I dont think there is. Its all based on the tech hardware that it is built with.
What app do we download to access Android Auto? Do we download it o. our phone or Head unit?
You download it with headunit but generally the app is already installed once you purchase this.
You need to upgrade to Android 11 it has so many of those bugs worked out. The same unit just different android software.
Im assuming you have it? Which company was yours?
Yes do tell
Booting time its big no
Its negligible.
its sucks. too laggy
Which component?
hey huang, can you not use a Y-splitter on the 2.0 usb port ?
Good observation. I can try a dongle splitter if I ever get a chance. That would mean more plug ins
What about parking sensors and cameras? Did u have any issues with these?
Reverse camera works no issues. Parking sensors ive never seen activate
Love your vids bro, Your volume knobs look awesome! Where did you get those?
Thanks. Check ebay aluminum billet power volume knob lexus rc
Hi, do you have to connect the screen to hotspot if you use youtube while your wire is connected to the phone?
Yes. If you are using the android screen to go on youtube. You can also do screen mirror off your phone once plugged in
My android caraway doesn't work
I'm not sure it is because that my car didn't come with navigation
Tomorrow I'm going to play with again
There is 2 separate wiring. One for car with navi and one without, the wiring is in fact different, Ive seen it. But it sounds like you have the screen working so I don’t have any advice for you other than you may have to delete and reinstall the qlink or autoplay or whatever the carplay access on your screen would be.
@@thehuangbros I went did that, now I can't seem to find it in Google play to reinstall it.
I'm not sure if they changed the logo or the actual qlink name
Any ideas?
@@kaleblove7743 the file for reinstalling should be in file manager.
I got the same screen. It's laggy sometimes. How do you install a power switch? Where can I get it?
which power switch are you referring to? the oem one? the one with the T?
@@thehuangbros yes the one with the T symbol
Is there an audio system toe replace my radio in my 2015 Lexus 350RC FSport
Replace which part specifically?
@@thehuangbros My radio in my 2015 Lexus 350 RC died with only 23,000 miles. Anger makes me wonder about this lemon part. It runs my GPS screen also. I did read in several community questions, this is common. I can not find anyone who says they can remove the radio and replace it. I do not want to put the OEM radio back in it. Thank you
@@aliciadrummer6174 oem Radio in mine cuts out randomly also but I turn the car on and off and its good to go. There isn’t a replacement system for the OEM radio unit. From my understanding, you can only add to the system, can’t replace.
How’s the audio quality? I also have the ML system and I don’t want to lose any quality with audio. And phone calls, can’t use OEM system?
So audio quality is the same since it uses the ML system to play the audio. There is a little speaker that comes with it but it is the size of an echo dot and only is used for android screen navigation speech. It uses the oem speakers for music. If you press answer on the steering wheel, it reverts to oem mic and speaker.
adjust the audio paramater at 60% in the system for not saturated it. The first time it was so ugly in my ML system.
Can you play Apple Music videos from car play and does the reverse camera has an option to stay on while in motion?
I have not tried to play apple music videos thru carplay. If you are able to do it on someone else's carplay system, then it should work here. The camera is the OEM camera and cannot be active while moving forward.
@@thehuangbros thanks
Great vid
Can you do a review on the Android 10.0 units compared the the Android 9 units?
If I ever I get a android 10 screen ill make a video and come back to this comment to let you know. Unfortunately for now, I wont be switching screens any time soon. I can try to find someone with one and Ill do one.
Mine is stuck on loading screen, any solutions 😢
Hey brother, you may have answered someone already about this, but does this for a 2014 Lexus Is250? I have Nav in my car too
It does. Only if you have navigation in it already. Because the wiring is different in the back between navi and non navi. On the site, you should contact the seller to be able to get the correct one. Theyll ask if yours is navi or no navi
@@thehuangbros yes sir I have Navi. I'll contact them to make sure it works in my car. I'm juiced for this. I'm a droid user,so it's nice to have something that fully syncs between car and phone
@@aksprayz6855 yeah. I still use mine to this day. I believe its called android reload for android users?
@@thehuangbros ok cool. I'm going to check that out. I'm still waiting for the seller to confirm this unit will work for my car. Can't wait to get it in.
Is this still working? Im worried about reliability haha
It is still working 👍🏼
Any way to change the gas from ml to gallons. Noticed it was displayed that way.
It changes automatically back and forth from my understanding.
Hey man! Great video! What kind of phone mount is that?
It is a porsche specific phone holder that I manipulated to work to my favor. Made it look subtle. It is from rennline.com
@@thehuangbros thanks! Just bought a 350 F Sport and I’m looking for a good phone mount
@@chenchostereo look for the flat one and just insert it like i did.
@@thehuangbros There are quite a few flat ones on that site. Would you mind sharing a link and/or some mounting instructions? :)
@@Sebb747 you can type in huang bros android screen. Youll see the install diy video. Does the link not go to it directly?
Hey good news i use Rii physical keyboard on bluetooth with USB dongle and it s working ( touchpad...) Like that dont need to use mirror link.
Lol you have a whole keyboard in your car?
@@thehuangbros rii mini keyboard.
For the moment i can "block" it on the right.
@@oloc2737 anything that is usb was going to work.
@@thehuangbros yes with a doggle bluetooth, passenger front and rear can also change or search song , adress...
How do you get the steering control to work on your android unit?
In terms of changing to the next song, I have to press the down arrow on the left side steering wheel controls which for the oem factory would normally be previous song, so it is vice versa for me and my unit that I have. Do you have the same one as I do? Does yours not work?
Yes, I had the same system, but my steering wheel control doesn't work at all.
@@joela1308 interesting. Let me ask this. What car model do you have? I would suggest checking all connections. Im not sure personally which plug but i would check all connects. It can be a bent pin that throws off the signals. Have you seen the terminals before you plugged it in?
I have a 2016 Lexus RCF and I haven't double check all of my wiring connection yet, but I will take your advice and double check again to make sure that there's no bend pin.
@@joela1308 actually troubleshoot it this way first. Go to factory screen and try the controls, if it doesnt then something is wrong but if it works then i guess you will have to go through the troubles unfortunately.
I am waiting for the review on the other version from RON.
Ive been waiting too 😕
How’s the call quality with the mic?
I usually press the answer button on steering wheel so that it automatically uses the oem mic. So calls are fine. Afterwards, it goes back to the android screen. I have used the mic on the android before too and its fine. The issue with android for calls is the speaker that comes with it, not that loud. You would have to position the mic away from the android speaker or else the person on other side hears themselves.
Where’d you buy the ergo touch pad?
Link is in description 😁
I like it . It’s in my 200 t with no nav. Works great . Good information video.
Best way to add navi to a non navi Lexus 😁
Can you have it load up to the Lexus oem screen?
Yeap. You can.
@@thehuangbros can you post a video of how to do it? I’m thinking about getting this screen but I want it to still be oem
@@michaelxiong5395 so the oem screen is not the oem infotainment. The giant cd player and what is behind it is the infotainment system. The new screen is piggybacking off the oem stuff so its the new stuff and oem stuff. You just click the car app on the new screen. Its in one of my android screen videos. Search for huang bros android screen and look for new features
What car mount are you using?
Porsche Redline Car Magnet piece
@@thehuangbros thanks buddy! Loving the review and how thorough you are!
@@reehaq thanks!

Does it work for iphone?
Iphone and android. Both are compatible
@@thehuangbros thanks! I need it just for the waze app alone lolz
@@Mall_Crawling_X thats what I use it for also. I love that it takes up the whole screen. Oem screen and functions are all still there too.
Quick question: I’ve noticed when I’m on CarPlay mode, I have to put the audio from my factory unit to AUX. Doing so, my audio does not sound as clean and sounds underpowered. If I unplug my phone and get back into the oem interface, switch it to the cars Bluetooth, my audio sounds much better just like before. I don’t have the ML system but it almost sounds like running it in CarPlay/AUX bypasses the amp or something. Anyone experience this or find a work around??
I left it on bluetooth connection on phone and aux on factory screen during carplay. I had to mess with this yesterday. Im not sure if this will fix your issue but these were my settings last night.
@@thehuangbros That’s how I normally have it but you can tell the audio difference from the factory Bluetooth and the output from the CarPlay/AUX. I’m talking in regards to listening to music, not with call audio quality also.
@@1Bad2SS im aware. I was telling you what i set my music settings to last night. I dont have any possible solution for you.
@@thehuangbros Yeah, I get that. I’m just wondering if anyone else notices the difference or has this issue. I also don’t connect to the the units Bluetooth as I see no need for it unless that’s necessary.
@@1Bad2SS i dont do that either but try plugging in the aux thing they sent with the screen unit. That is supposedly suppose to help
Does the screen look stretched under the EOM?
Can you type of what EOM stands for? Im not familiar sorry.
@@thehuangbros I meant under the Lexus forum. I see some of these units you can switch back and forth between the Lexus forum and the android version but under Lexus, it seems to look a bit stretched. If that makes any sense.
@@alexdelacruz3543 oh yea the display has to fill the screen on the oem factory side. But it doesnt look as off as you would think.
Also can you get FaceTime video on the screen ?
If you can't get facetime to work on someone else's carplay then you can with this.
@@thehuangbros have you tried it because all the other screens go black.
@@AllEyezOnRod no i haven't tried. Probably because no one likes me and I have no friends so I don't get facetime requests. Honestly I didn't even know facetime on carplay was a thing. Have you seen it or experience it?
@@thehuangbros we don’t need friends lol.
@@AllEyezOnRod no new friends club haha. But seriously tho, have you experienced or seen a video of someone facetiming on carplay ? Im curious.
So in apple car play on the Home Screen. (Where it shows ur music & navigation on the same slide) are u able to switch it from google maps too Apple Maps or waze. Or is that non customizable?
Good question. On the main carplay homescreen, im able to have either of those 3 navi apps. You just have to select it on the left sidebar. You can have all 3 apps on at the same time haha. Ive done that
Hey, love the video! On the link you provided, there's multiple options under screen options. Did you select anything special or just add the 10.25" screen option? Thanks!
From the first time I provided the link to now, their site has changed the options multiple times. I would simply search for your car and add 10.25 inch android 9 64ram
@@thehuangbros I got the same car, I was just curious on if I just select the 10.25” screen option. I’ll ask the seller as well. Your installation video was very good too!!!
@@duskino_ thanks. Yeah so i have the 64/32 option with the 1080p or higher. There are some that says 720p idk about that one. But the one I have is 1080p. I think there is a android 10 version out now. Maybe go for that one
