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
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
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
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.
Great walkthrough and explanation. Wish I would have gotten this one to replace everything vs. the one that just replaces the upper portion of the center console.
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.
hello i know this is a late response to this but did you ever fix the issue with the AC for your Lexus is250 im having the same issues currently , wondering if i should get a different screen or contact the seller on amazon. thank you
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.
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?
Thank you for the question. The defrost for the front and rear windshield is in the drop down menu for the climate control. The side mirror defrost is on the side panel. I hope this helps
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
@nkautos Sorry to revive an old comment. But does this unit require the oem amplifier that is in the trunk because I believed mine burnt out awhile ago and I was getting no sound. Will this new unit fix this without replacing the amplifier in the trunk?
I just installed it exactly the same stuff Just note that the lug for speakers has pins missing for back speakers So i had to bridge power from front speakers to get the back ones working….which will only affect speaker balancing Basically if you move the cursor to front right on speaker balancing it will work and as soon as you move it to bottom right it wont because the lug did t have a wire and pin for the back ones working And another one is the reversing guider lines are a bit annoying…. Not that neatly designed
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
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
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.
@Kris Nie I went to a shop and they couldn't do it you have to get an aftermarket one. If you had a regular headunit, not the chinese brand, you could use it. They don't put it in the protocols.
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
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
I think a lot of aftermarket car stereos have that feature built in I know in some you're able to disable it in settings but not all of them have that option
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
@@nkautos that was my major concern. How is the lag on this unit, I noticed some other models have a big issue with lag input? My IS250 comes with factory nav but its so outdated. Any chance you have a clip of using some of the factory options?
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.
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.

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?
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!
@@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
Hi mate just install same stereo in my lexus is250 2007 model...having issues with A/C buttons not doing nothing I plug in all plugs ..every else works
I didn't change any of the canbus features when installing the unit. I would try the low configuration first and if some options for the steering wheel don't work then try the high setting
GREAT VIDEO . I HAVE A 2008 ISF ITS IN AND RADIO WORKS HAZRADS DONT WORK AC DOES NOT WORK GPS NOT WORKING . GONE THROUGH THE WIRES A FEW TIMES . CAN U HELP ME OUT DUDE ????
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 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?
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

@@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

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

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

Does it work with oem rear camera? And parking assistance?
I need to know this also!
It will work with the OEM camera and sensors if you wire it, but it will require some extra work!
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
Great video thanks 🙏🏼 I will be buying one
No worries, glad to help!

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
What year is your vehicle? Would this work for a 2014 IS250C
This is from a 07, you would need to double check with the seller to see if it is compatible
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
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
Hi mate just install same stereo in my lexus is250 2007 model...having issues with A/C
buttons not doing nothing I plug in all plugs ..every else works
I have the same issue, no climate controls work. Have you resolved yours ?
Sounds like one of the harness plugs are not connected, I would double check the connections
Do you ever hear static snapping from the speakers?
I didn't have this problem. It might have a loose connection or the volume is too high
Hi..Does this headunit work with the camera and connection which is already in?
Yes you can make it work but you will need to splice and connect the wires
@@nkautoshello NK how do i do this please 🙏
There are "Luzheng-Lelux IS" High or Low in CANBUS configuration, which one should I choose?
I didn't change any of the canbus features when installing the unit. I would try the low configuration first and if some options for the steering wheel don't work then try the high setting
how can i find this. im having issues syncronizing my steering wheel
@@nkautos how can i find this. im having issues syncronizing my steering wheel also my ac doesnt work along with the rpms onthe screen
GREAT VIDEO . I HAVE A 2008 ISF ITS IN AND RADIO WORKS HAZRADS DONT WORK AC DOES NOT WORK GPS NOT WORKING . GONE THROUGH THE WIRES A FEW TIMES . CAN U HELP ME OUT DUDE ????
You are missing a harness that connects to the climate and the emergency plugs
@@nkautos what does it look like ?
@@nkautos Where can i get the harness ?
Does it have a de frost option?
Yes, it has a drop down menu for the climate control where the defrost can be found
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
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
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!
WILL THIS WORK FOR A 2007 LEXES ES 350???
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
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?
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
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
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
Does the a/c work?
Yes everything works great!
can you still use the existing camera if you have one?
Yes, you will need to rewire the connection but it will work without a problem
Do you have a video showing how to rewrite connection
Does the rear back up camera come all together or was that purchased separately?
It came with the unit
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
