We are pleased to show you our 2014-2021 Lexus GX 460 Hamilton Upgrade Kit for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. With our kit, you can completely modernize the interior of your 2014-2021 Lexus GX 460 with a brand-new screen interface. Our interface system easily installs under your factory center console and integrates into your factory screen to provide wireless and wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto software features. This kit includes everything you need to use CarPlay or Android Auto.
While the 2014-2021 Lexus GX is an incredible truck and is known to last awhile, the infotainment system from the factory is lacking badly. Whereas many other models of premium luxury SUVs had Apple CarPlay between 2014-2019, the Lexus GX 460 did not get Apple CarPlay or Android Auto from the factory. Our interface system will solve this issue and make you feel like you are driving a brand-new vehicle.
Using our 2014-2021 Lexus GX 460 Hamilton Upgrade Kit for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, you can stream music from any of your favorite music providers, stream e-books, see a full-screen navigation map, and more on Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Our unit will also preserve all factory functionality in your 2014-2021 Lexus GX 460 to ensure you can access your factory navigation or XM radio.
As a Lexus owner, you have picked a vehicle that is both very long-lasting and has premium build quality. In our partnership with our boutique manufacturer we have worked diligently to convey these values in all our products. We make our 2014-2021 Lexus GX 460 Apple CarPlay upgrade kit using a high-quality processor and components that exceed OEM specs. Our units are precision machined out of a high-quality heat sink metal enclosure to ensure, unlike cheap units, they do not overheat and cause glitches.
When you hold our interface, you can feel the level of quality difference from the wiring harness materials to the premium heat sink enclosure we use. Our North Carolina-based customer service and tech support team is also here to assist you should you need any help during the installation process.
Feel free to call or email our team with any questions about adding Apple CarPlay or Android Auto to your 2014-2021 Lexus GX 460.

The Conversion Kit is a complete replacement screen that has not only CarPlay and Android Auto, but also the ability to download external apps and have a 4G connection. The Upgrade Kit is a straightforward way to add CarPlay and Android Auto to your factory screen.
You can use your factory radio channels and have CarPlay/Android Auto showing on your screen with the Hamilton Upgrade Kits with one important limitation: Please note that the factory radio channels are sealed channels. This means Siri cannot talk through these channels.
When you are streaming audio via CarPlay (e.g. Spotify, Apple Music, Sirius App, etc.), your music and Siri/Navigation will come out of your vehicle speakers mixed together.
However, while using the sealed factory radio channels, you will only be able to hear radio audio. System audio (Siri, navigation sounds, phone calls) cannot be mixed into the factory radio channels.
Note: You will not be able to use the AUX mode for any external media devices liked DACs or MP3 players. The Hamilton Upgrade Kit consumes this audio input for CarPlay/Android Auto.
simple videos and install. Works great! Would recommend to anyone who has a GX460
I installed, again, I INSTALLED the unit myself in my 2020 GX460! Not that I have done radios before, but those were in cars of the 60's-80's year models. I was a bit freaked out about removing the trim and everything was as easy as it was said in the videos!!! I absolutely love having CarPlay!! And - the OG mic and speakers all sound perfect.
Extremely simple and easy wiring and setup, flawless integration of factory equipment and Apple car play features, easily a 10/10 product would highly recommend to anyone, install took me a total of 20 minutes in the parking lot, initialization another 5 minutes. Well worth the money, very smooth OS, faster than my oem 2019 GX460 equipment
It works great.
My wife loves her 2016 GX 460, her only complaint since she’s had it is that it doesn’t have Apple CarPlay. Hamilton has fixed that. I am incredibly pleased with this product. Insulation was easier than I anticipated, Thanks to their installation videos.
Easy installation even if you don't know anything about audio installation. Product is awesome and the tutorials/videos are very helpful!
Can we bring our GX for you to install?

Works great. Easy to install in my GX and retains the OEM look of the factory screen. I was a bit nervous about bolting on a giant new screen. The factory screen is plenty big enough and the CarPlay module does what I need I to do. Took me about a day to really figure out how to use it and manipulate the controls. The manual says to use the "AUX" input on your radio, but I find the bluetooth connection works just as well.
Everything was great . The video to help install was bang on !!!!! Very satisfying
Thank you
Does everything it says it will do and does it well. Only drawback is how it handles the phone, if you are listening to XM or something else from the OEM sound system you can't answer/use the phone via bluetooth unless you manually switch to the aux input. Other than that, great.
Excellent product and easy install on GX 460. Documentation and phone support is excellent
This was a much needed upgrade to my 2019 Lexus GX460. Love it. My son installed it and had no trouble doing so.
Works as advertised. Installation was easy. Having CarPlay makes the wife happy.
This upgrade is a must.
Well done Hamilton.
Product is fabulous. Be sure to find the video on configuring Bluetooth connections.
Excellent equipment! One very minor concern: echo on telephone calls.
It made a huge difference in the driving experience, and I was able to install it in less than an hour.
It’s great but I have to toggle between my old system and this new system to get the sound to play . Seems it’s connected to Bluetooth automatically and if I put in the wired connection it requires me to reconnect Bluetooth for any sound. Installer error ? Overall I’m happy with it just annoyed by that bit
The instal was flawless, absolutely love this kit and everything works perfectly!!! 💙
Very good, everything works, but i can't get my messages to announce thru my audio.
My harness in the back appears different. Couldn’t install.
So far, it has worked as designed. I am having some trouble adjusting the volume of the navigation narrator, and volume on phone calls.
Fairly easy to install, at a reasonable price and I’m really happy with the results. The YouTube installation video was absolutely key. If you follow it, it’s a breeze. There are some limitations to the product…. You don’t get multi-touch and some aspects on some apps are a little slower to respond…. But, it’s really easy to live with those limits.
I have a 2018 Lexus GX460. I have been frustrated that there is not map updates available for the 2018. I also wanted Car Play in my next vehicle. Now I can keep my 2018 and always have up to date google maps and Car Play.
The Install Process worked exactly as the video showed. I had no issues and it took me about 70 minutes to complete. I took my time and watched the video as I did it which was very helpful.
The only issue I had was when I tried to connect to Car Play it would not work. After trying everything multiple times myself, I finally call customer service for help. The solution was the Car Play was not turned on in settings for some reason. We turned it on and it immediately worked flawlessly. The moral of that story is, Just Call Customer Service If You Have An Issue. They Will Figure It Out For You. Don't be like me and waste 45 minutes trying to figure it out myself.
Thank You Michael in Customer Service for your help!
All Factory Settings work as stated. Very easy to switch back and forth between Hamilton and Factory Screen and settings.
Siri works great to! Just say Hey Siri take me to Costco on Google Maps and it inputs the directions and off you go! Just say Hey Siri, play Classic Rock on Apple Music and it does.
Thank you to the entire Hamilton Team for a great product!

I bought a 2018 Lexus gx 460. The only thing i was missing is car play. Hamilton’s upgrade kit fixed that issue perfectly. I had it installed by a 3rd party. Works perfectly and I love it.
I have been wanting carplay for sometime and didn't want to get rid of my GX just to get it. I work for Lexus and I installed this unit a few weeks ago by myself and it's been amazing! I have recommended this product to every client that I can! Absolutely fantastic!
I have postponed a vehicle upgrade with getting this CarPlay unit. I watched the YouTube instructions and with the exception of misplacing one bolt it went flawlessly.
Install took me less than an hour and the hardware is very well built. Had a question and customer service replied by email quickly and that resolved my issue. My kids are big fans of the upgrade too!
Great experience start to finish. I was researching the CarPlay upgrade for my GX and Hamilton came highly reviewed as a simple plug and play solution. Extremely fast shipping to my residence in TN. The video instructions were simple and easy to follow. The upgrade works seamlessly with the OEM interface and I wish I did this a long time ago! I have not had the need to contact support for any issues but good to know they have a US based support team.
I'm not the best at DIY projects but the video and product was very explanatory and had everything installed in less than 3 hours. This greatly enhanced the in-car experience and we're very happy with the improvement!
I was shocked that it only took me 2 hours to install, when mentally I was prepared for it to take all day.
