Thank you ,Great tutorial and update
The wallpaper on the thumbnail with the is dope! Mine look just like it
Great video thanks 🙏🏼 I will be buying one
No worries, glad to help!
Hey I just installed mine I cannot get the center vent to fit properly how did you do it please help thanks
Just an FYI from 2006 to 2010 you can easy put this type into as I've found out the hard way 2010 to 2013 this type of head unit won't go in as the wiring changed at 2010 and up so hope I saved you money before getting one
i have 2010 and i noticed the cable is different. could you please guide me please?
When buying the unit they asked me for the specific year since they have different harnesses depending on the year. If they sent you the wrong harness send them a message, hopefully they will fix the problem
@@nkautos I found out the hard way now.
The radio you are showing (and other similar ones) will all work with 2005-2009 IS models.
If you have 2010+ model they will not work as it is most likely a fibre system. So the cables is different for 2010+ models. You need to buy a carbus adapter for that to work. Only the supplier can sell these as they can be device specific.
So if you have 2010+ model make sure to let the supplier know you likely have a fibre system (amplified) and that you will need the adapter. Unfortunately some suppliers just send you the unit without the adaptor even if you tell them you have 2010 model. That's the hard way
Please pin this so people can see
@@nameless-vi2ep Thank you for explaining this, I wasn’t aware. I have added to the video description and will pin your comment!
@@nkautos idk If you already answer this question but I'm going to ask, what if you the IS with the navigation n rear camera?
Thats awesome thanks
I like it and it can support full option
Yes everything works great for me
I did learn something new watching this video which was one of my biggest concerns . When I would raise or lower the volume on the steering wheel it will sound different from raising or lowering the volume touching the screen. Hopefully car setting , set into car will fix the probably . I kept peaking the audio and hearing distortion and static from the speakers
You can play around with the amplifier settings in the radio settings. If you turn up the audio too high it will be raspy. I would recommend turning the midrange and subwoofer to about half and the audio will sound alot better
one year review? im looking at getting a new radio for my car since the factory one doesn't work
great to see the wiring and connections. Novices like me who bought this unit can give it a try. Thank you for showing the connection details, it is important to do this update. for the camera the seller sent me an additional connection to use my OEM camera. my ML unit already has the GPS. nice update.
How do u get that connection
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE VIDEO AS IT HELPED ME TO INSTALL MY RADIO. THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAD IS THAT I BUY THE RADIO ON AMAZON BUT THE AIR CONDITIONING CONTROL DID NOT WORK THROUGH THE TOUCH SCREEN. I DON'T KNOW IF MY CAR NEEDS THE FIBER CABLE ONE OPTICAL SINCE MY LEXUS IS A 2009 IS 250 WITH GPS.
IM HAVING THE SAME ISSUES GPS NOT WORKING AND CANT CONTOL AIR CON SEEMS TO BE ALOT OF EMPITY CLIPS STILL LEFT ???? HELPPPPPP
Yes it seems like you're missing a cable or have on of the plugs disconnected
Great video - do you get an accurate GPS signal when having the gps module buried all that way below the dash?
Thank you for the video, It is really helpful. Do you mind sharing if the unit can control HDD/CD changer at the trunk?
I don't believe that it can, that function hasn't shown up on the unit
Will this handle 13 speakers that came with my car? I have 2012 IS250 with XM radio and 6 cd changer.
Which canbus decoder do you use? I have 2006 IS, got Teyes CC3 with canbus decoder and rear camera. Everything works perfectly, but it’s no dynamic parking lines on rear camera, only static traces. I tried a lot of methods to fix it, but nothing helped me. In my opinion, the reason is canbus decoder - there is no steering wheel angle decoding in my version. Could you help me please? I trying to resolve this issue about 1.5 years, but it’s not enough information in web. I see that you have 2006/2007 IS with WORKING dynamic parking lines at the rear camera, and you are the only man who can help me.
Hello, I'm sorry for the late reply. When I plugged the unit in, the dynamic parking lines were fully functional. I didn't get a different canbus decoder, just the one that was in the kit. I would try to reach out to the seller to see if you received a faulty canbus system
Does the rear back up camera come all together or was that purchased separately?
Great video! Looks much better than the other big screen radio, how's the sound quality?
Sound quality is about the same as the OEM one I haven't seen a big difference
Hello, will this work for the one with the gps screen n camera already installed? If it does how will the camera work with the installed one. Thanks
Can you upload a video on how to change the wallpaper?
How do you not make it play the preloaded songs when the car is turned on?
Where do you connect the red wire for the backup camera as shown in 8:59 / 21:49 segment of the video? I have put two backup cameras but non works even though they are showing marked when I put my car on a reverse gear. Help. Thank you
I have a stock 2010 is 250 I am looking to upgrade the stock stereo just like you did now how much is the new stereo you installed also what's the name of it so I can buy one where did you buy it
Dope, I have the TopNavi, much cleaner and better functionality since it keeps OEM radio and controls imo
Do you have the link for the unit you got topnavi?
Can you give us the link for the TopNavi?
Can the screen go off and still be playing music for night time driving ? Don't want to much light in the car when driving
I have a question, does the odb2 have to be used, I currently use an on the fly odb2 reader for monitoring everything, and all my gauges work
It is used for the backup camera sensor aswell as when the doors are opened. If everything else works then use what you currently use
hey bro awesome video very helpful! I just got the same tesla unit . I'm in canada 🇨🇦 I got a 08 is250 and I followed all your instructions up till the rear camera, not sure what u wired it to in the unit in the back but I thought it would have been an RC connection from the unit but urs is hardwired?
The camera is connected with a female RCA. From the back the camera has a red and black connection that wire to a power source that run through an extension. The extension connects to the back of the unit with a yellow RCA. I hope this helps, if you have anymore questions feel free to ask!
I did it bro so pumped just curious I got power without having ro wire it into the trunk yet.. I have power from the harness. curious why u need to wire into the truck,? all u need is a ground really.. also is it just me or does the Bluetooth sound really quite or is there a setting to fix it .. and does it play movies?
Do you ever hear static snapping from the speakers?
Hello my friend, I own a 2008 IS300 that does not have a screen in the first place. I went to buy the agency’s screen and tried to install it, but I found that the wires do not match each other. There is
Well made video, I just had a question I'm big on music, and have 2 12ichs subs. Just wondering if this will effect the sound in any way
Depends on the settings you will run, when it comes to running a sub it might not run as crisp as it did with the ML system
Does it support wireless CarPlay and if so how to use aircon while in that
Great video! I’m not sure if I missed it or not, but does this support car play?
Unfortunately it does not, it has the standard Bluetooth
Hello can you change the home screen layout? I am unable to make it like the layout like you showing rpm /obd info. also the climite control layout like you
The home screen layout should pop up right away. Make sure your OBD plug is wired correctly that will help with the RPM and OBD info
how do you adjust the volume ? ive installed it but the volume is low compared to the original oem headunit
You can change the master volume in the unit settings and increase the minimal volume
does it have carplay?
WILL THIS WORK FOR A 2007 LEXES ES 350???
NK, that is a handy well organized tool box (9:32 mark) what brand is it and where did you get it? My radio came in from Alibaba and I’m installing in a couple of days!
How did the install go? Did you experience any problems? How is the functionality?
Thank you for the comment! The toolbox is a Harbor Freights "Mechanics Tool Set, 225 Piece" I hope your installation went well!
does it come with a reverse camera?
@@sandyrene7874 when you order it they offered me a camera for free to which I said yes!
i have a question. on my 2010 model, there are like 3 extra plugs that doesn't go anywhere. it would be really great if you could help me
Those plugs don't need to be connected!
Hi... where can i get the extra CAN bus module?.. my car is 2010 is250C convertible without navigation...
Thanks !
hey man, does the camera need wiring? in the beginning at 5:40 you say need to wire it in, but at the end you say it doesn't at 15:10
Not any splicing, but you still will need to wire the connection from the back of the car to the back of the unit
Hi there
Love the video
Please let me know how it performs in general as daily drive (gps, original lexus functions,and others)
Any crashes or not performing as it should
I had one for CT200h and i wad disappointed
Now I bought a is250 and I’d like to upgrade the entraining centre for a better one snd i like this one
Kinda looks like tesla
Thank you and keep it up
I appreciate the kind words, so far everything has been working great. I don't use the GPS much but the climate functions all work great. I love the way the screen looks and how easy everything is to use. I hope this helps!
@@nkautos tnx.
It does help
Do you have access to old lexus menu trough this aftermarket screen
Like the same think you had before installing this aftermarket!
@@thebulletrider5670 I am not able to access the maintenance service and other menus unfortunately
@@nkautos thanks for replying
So in other ways (this unit does not have access to anything from original lexus apart the radio i guess and the climate) and does the climate is similar to the one before or is a bit different
(I’m interested in the rear window defrosting and the option of changing the climate direction and power)
Thank you and apologies for taking your time
Just want to make sure I get the right part
It looks like this comment slipped through the cracks. The climate control in terms of how it was before is exactly the same with the new radio, all the features are still there in a drop down box and can fully be adjusted
My radio home screen looks nothing like this aside front the top row of apps those are the same but it doesn't show my rims or speed plus I'm struggling getting the vents to line up with the radio
great video and info but camera moves around a lot. Can you place on a tripod for a steadier video?
I was using a head mount for my GoPro. I'm sorry about moving, I will keep that in mind for future videos!
When I connect my phone to the usb , it keeps going on and off , I’m not sure if a wire is loose or something , my a/c seems weaker than normal as well on my 2006 lexus is350. Sometimes the screen lighting glitches and blinks for a bit . I tried to connect to my hotspot but it won’t even find any phones just houses and different cars Wi-Fi’s . I’m not even sure how to screen mirror yet on iPhone lol. Just got this car btw . Thinking about resetting the whole system and logging into with a email. The nav and browser says it’s offline as well I guess you have to be connected to wifi all the time ? Sometime my door icons stays open when it’s actually closed as well . I’m going to try to update but if nothing gets better . Might go get everything calibrated and rebooted or whatever with new wires etc i guess
Thank you for the comment! I would try to reboot the system in the software settings first. The climate control not working as good as before is odd, it might have to do with the new climate settings. For the doors saying they are open double check to see if the OBD connection is in place and that the wires aren't compromised. I haven't tried to screen mirror my iPhone yet but if you plan on using the maps and internet it will require your phone to be connected via Hotspot for it to work. I hope this helps, feel free to comment if you have anymore questions
@NK Autos how do you connect the tablet to the internet without Wifi?
You will need to connect to a mobile Hotspot
is the OBD connector mandatory ?
I need one like this but Apple compatible
Hey man I’m curious if you’ve tried using one of those devices that is able to add car play onto any android head unit this one looks capable of it
I installed my unit using your video…thanks. But my a/c controls no longer show on the screen. Any guidance?
There is a dropdown menu on the bottom of the screen that will have all the climate control settings
I just installed the same head unit but the camera doesn’t seem to be working how it should
What seems to be the problem? Make sure that the red wire in the rear is connected to the reverse lights so that the camera turns on when in reverse
If my car already had a built in rear camera with navigation system, could I just connect the stock cameras cable to the new radio unit or do I have to run a new line ? Please advise.
You can splice the OEM camera harness into the unit but this will take some modification and soldering wires for a good connection
Yo man did you ever figure this out? I’m having the same question
Hello mate u figure this out i am having the same issue
Hey did you manage to get a solution and how did u do it please help thanks
@@nkautos can you please make a video about this
Does the rear parking camera still display with this add on?
Yes if the connections for the camera are rewired everything will work as intended
Hey bud, great video! Need some help in troubleshooting. I have the same radio. It's been 2 years now with it and no issues until now. The display won't turn on, my flashes work, my security light works and the passenger button comes on, and the lights but my display wont come on and there is no sound. Is there a reboot on these on the back of the radio?
This is happening to me now, gets stuck on Lexus and android logo :/
I need to know how to plug in the factory oem stereo back in the car. Can anyone share a pic of where the connectors should plug into. Please help
So this would essentially replace the whole Mark and Levinson sound system correct?
That is correct, it replaces the whole radio system but still uses the factory ML amp.
So could you say this just basically plug and play throughout all Lexus models 2007-2012? Cause I have a 2007 es350 and would like replace my radio as well.
Yes it is, just make sure to connect all the plugs!
in the market for an is 350, would you still take this unit over something like a grom vline 2? also at this point you've been driving with it for awhile, how often would you say it crashes? and would it lock you out from using the climate control if it does?
So far the only problem I am having is with the clock saving the time. Other than that everything else runs great!
Nice video, What’s the stereo serial or model?
I included the link in the video description for this unit
Love the video. I am in the process of purchasing a 2006 IS250. Does the steering wheel controls still work after the installation?
Yes steering wheel controls work
@@tencountstories3471 Awesome!!!
How was the purchase?
I'm thinking about getting 250/350
@@wilson9575 I actually did not purchase one. Guy would not give me the deal I wanted, however I am still looking!
@@jamesrguy5430 i am buying a 07 is350 tomorrow that has this screen already installed hopefully it functions properly
Hello! How can I set my photo as my wallpaper on this unit? I would like to have my picture on the front.
Where are you located? Do you do installations for customers?
Can you change background on the screen or personalize anything?
Yes you can change the background and a lot of the settings are customizable!
This morning when I got in my car Bluetooth was working now it doesn’t all it say is I have to connect HPF first but idk where it’s located?
Seems like it might be a glitch, try to reboot the system and try to reconnect
so my 2006 Is250 already has a reverse camera. could i connect that to this radio or should i replace it with the included camera?
Hey did you manage to get a solution to this as i am currently facing the same thing. Please help out
I have the same setup .
Mine will work for 30 seconds after start up then becomes unresponsive.. my steering wheel controls still work though any help?
Hello, it might have something to do with the harnesses. I would try to reach out to the seller or request a new unit!
Does this car play work with the factory backup camera?
If you splice the wires then you can connect the OEM camera to the system
@@nkautos Thank you, I will be trying it myself soon
does heater work ?
some of the carplay don’t have option for that
Yes, the climate controls all work without a problem.
How is the sound quality? Did you notice a difference at all?
someone help me please i recently bought a IS with this unit already installed, but the audio does not work whatsoever, and when i go to the settings and go to “set into car” it doesn’t let me ajust any of the volumes and i can see that the volume is set to 0
Hi but if car have a original parking sensors so this radio will support it or not ?
I don't believe it will
Can you use my existing backup camera on my iS250?
Yes but you will need to splice the wires to the new connections
Have you been able to connect your iPhone through the usb connection or not? I can’t seem to get it to connect.
Yes, but its easier to connected it via Bluetooth
I see you have a yellow rca connected that is lying horizontal down under the bundle of wires. Im not talking about the rear view camera harness, i can see your rear view camera harness and rca clearly and i have mine connected like yours(black and little red wire) i have a disconnected yellow male rca labeled camera and two disconnected yellow female rca one labeled video out and the other cvbs in 1. Which connects to what?
The red wire that is not connected is for powering the camera. 12v.
Change the top vents with the newer one ! the longest model!
Perfect thank you for the suggestion!
How do you like your head unit so far? How long have you had it? How long before you received it?
It’s been almost a year now, haven’t had any problems since putting it in. It took about a week to get to me once I ordered it. A great deal for the price
@@nkautos what is the amount of ram? 2GB?
Since the previous owner installed too many wires, It couldn't plug and play at all~ found a maintenance person to install it Now,and the price was Us$250
That is unfortunate, I hope everything worked out for you!
Does this IS250 have the mark levinson sound system?
Yes it does!
How do you know what wites to connect @ 11:00
can we get a 1 year review? and is it still worth getting or is there a better one?
I’m wondering the same thjng
Why does all my light engage when I plug the usb part into the unit
I'm not sure, are you referring to the dash lights or the unit?
Hey, I just installed mine following your video, how is your gps working, I get no GPS signal?
The antenna in the back has to be tightened otherwise the GPS wont work
Does all the functions work? Air conditioning, navigation, radio etc.
Yes they all work haven't had any problems yet!
How's the call quality?
Do the radio stations match up with American radio stations? I ask because some of these head units sometimes the numbers don't match what our numbers are in the United States.
How is the audio quality?
Does the air condition work properly?
The call quality is decent but the microphone that the unit comes with is grainy. I would recommend getting an external microphone that you can hookup to the rear of the radio. All the radio stations work and don't have problems connecting. The air conditioning also works great with no problems.
@@nkautos do the radio stations display accurately on the "channel selection dial?
@@benmunger Yes the radio channels that I use all have the right description when selected
@@nkautos thank you for sharing what you have found.
@@benmunger No problem, if you have anymore questions feel free to ask!
This is a cmprehensive video. I have this same tesla style on my IS 250, but the touchscreen malfuctions at present. Some parts od the screen are not responding. Is this an hardware or a software problem? The screen is not broken so I'm surprised some parts are not working.
Same my a/c controls don't work. I had to reach out the the seller.
That seems like a hardware issue I would try to reach out to the seller
It might be a cable that isn't connected, the a/c controls are controlled by one plug, if it isn't connected none of the controls will work
How much and how do I get it?
What wires do i connect at 11 mins
I have the same radio and my question is do you ever have to reset your time every morning? And is there a way to keep it from keeping the time current all the time?
I am having this problem as well and haven't figured out a way to fix it unfortunately
It needs constant live, like a cigarette lighter
Is there any difference in the setup if you have the is250 w/ the navigation base model?
good question lol
The harnesses seem to be similar but I would notify the seller before purchasing
Hi,
I really want to order this but I have an IS F model do you think it fits, If I go to the link it doesn’t mention the ISF model, one would think it should fit, any ideas?
I don't believe it will fit but you would need to contact the seller to verify
I HAVE A ISF AND IT FITS . I JUST PUT IN STILL HAVE NO AC BUT WORKING ON IT
What does that unit cost?
can you connect a hdmi cable to the screen?
Unfortunately there is no HDMI port
How do you change the metric unit ?
It should be in the android settings
Have this radio! do you know how to turn on the heater
There are buttons on the sides as well on the bottom to turn on and off the climate control
Does this unit support GPS without Google maps or wifi? I see it came with a GPS antenna.
Yes it does but it still needs a WIFI signal to work unfortunately
Does it have a de frost option?
Yes, it has a drop down menu for the climate control where the defrost can be found
Hi all, i need only harness can i buy only this things some ware in internet or if someone have detailed photos of harness please send it to me?
where did yu get that screen from was the website
Hello, I included a link in the video description from the seller I used
Hello, does it work for an 2005 IS220D ?
I don't believe so
I have this same stereo but it wont let me connect to bluetooth anymore i try to click the icon and nothing happens
I have this unit but wasn't go with an aftermarket amp and speakers..how do I wire this up?
You will need to connect the Amp through thr RCA connectors on the back along with a power source
@@nkautos sorry I need to clarify..I'm hooking up a 4.5 channel mids and highs amplifier including the back deck subwoofer?how can I run this?
hello.is all.the deforst working
Yes everything works without any problems
How does the ac work and what brand is this unit ?
The AC works well, there is a drop down menu that you need to use for extra options like the defrost buttons. The unit is a Chinese brand
Will this work with a Lexus IS250 2007?
Yes this was installed on a 2007 is250, it will work without a problem
