Hi, couple questions. Does this work on a 2013 gs 450h and a 2013 rx350? It does look complicated so I’d rather pay someone to do it. Do you have any installers in Pittsburgh Pa and what’s the cost to install it? Thanks 🙂

I reconnected it but for love nor money I can’t get my phone to play sound to the car via the Apple car play.

Very good, though I have had apple car play/android auto in previous cars, and I prefer to not have it. I just find having yr phone connected to yr car very distracting. I can take calls via Bluetooth, and that is all that I require.

Yes, possible but your turn by turn direction voice will not be audible. Better way to go about this is to download the FM radio and inset the music from USB stick to the phone.
@@Barcafan987 for 13 model it will show a split screen. It’s the factory screen hardware that doesn’t support it. You will need to change the screen and radio to a 16-20 model if you want full screen
I saw on beat Sonic Toyota Sienna installation video that you have a USB connector kit to car USB port. This would be very useful for Lexus cars. Do you have similar product for Lexus?
The two-USB hub type port does not support it. However, if your Lexus has single USB port, it will be compatible with the same USB harness used for the Toyota models
Julian Habito correct this kit is also compatible with Android Auto. Installation is exactly the same.

If you would like to see a demonstration of how the android auto looks, please look for the lexus CT video on our TH-cam page.
Just installed in my 2014 GS 350 F Sport and noticed that the video will sometimes turn slightly fuzzy around the edges and in order to correct it, i have to long hold the map to turn off carplay and then long hold to turn it on again for the video to be clear and stable. It also appears that the video is slightly stretched taller in dimension. Anyone else these issues? Ended up not using the noise loop that was included as it would make static noise if moved as the 3.5 jack was not secure.
Hi Richard, Please take a video of the slightly fuzzy video image to us at info@beatsonicusa.com. The slightly stretch is to utilize the entire screen of the GS without having any empty black areas. Noise Loop isolator is not required but recommended as you may hear a faint high pitched noise when volume is really loud. You may secure the 3.5mm connections with an electric tape.
Looks like the edge issue was related to my div switch being in 5 instead of 5 and 6. I will put the noise isolator back as I did hear the loud pop. The volume seems lower than stock radio and confirmed that the setting is at 56 - when going from SAT to AV for CarPlay the volume is much lower.
Yes, please try dip switch 5 and 6. Unfortunately the pop noise will remain when you turn on your vehicle in A/V mode. The volume on A/V mode is adjusted independently than you other sources, please make the adjustment accordingly.
It’s been some months but I still get the fuzzy edges and the color is off now - I’m okay with pop sound sound as I have gotten used to it m. Is there another firmware update that have corrected issues like this?
