Frequently Asked Questions
Did the Lexus RX come from the factory with CarPlay between 2016 and 2019?
Lexus did not offer CarPlay as a factory option between 2016 and 2019. Our complete screen replacement kit adds Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality to your Lexus RX350, Lexus RX450h, Lexus RX350L, RX350 F Sport, RX450hL, or RX450 F-Sport.
This brand new 12.3 inch screen fits right in place of your factory unit and preserves all factory functions and controls, while providing you with the features and interface of a brand new Lexus.
Is your kit only compatible with the Lexus RX350?
Our kit is compatible with all trims and all versions of the Lexus RX ranging from 2016 to 2019. If your car wasn't manufactured during this time, we still have other kits that may work for you. We fully support your original reverse camera or factory 360 camera system (if equipped).
Will this kit work with my 360 degree camera?
Yes, if you had the 360 degree camera from factory, simply select that option from our menu. We have a version that is fully compatible with your 360 degree camera for your Lexus RX.
How do I know if I have the knob or mouse interface?
Take a look at the below graphic if you are not sure whether you have the knob or mouse. Also, feel free to send us a picture on our Contact Us page for manual verification if you prefer.
Is it compatible with Mark Levinson audio? How will I play music?
The 2016-2016 Lexus RX Hamilton Conversion Kit fully supports Mark Levinson audio.
For streaming music on CarPlay, see audio setup here using the AUX mode (for CarPlay users). For folks who prefer factory bluetooth instead of AUX mode (we recommend AUX mode by default), you can change a setting in settings to use factory Bluetooth channel. Customer Service can share an article on how to do this.
The Help Center also has a full article on setting up audio for Android Auto users (slightly different from CarPlay users).
What is the use of the small speaker included with the package?
When you stream music or CarPlay/Android Auto navigation from your phone, all audio plays via the car speakers. However, if you wish to show CarPlay/Android Auto on screen while using the factory Lexus XM, FM, or AM sealed radio channels, we must use the small speaker to mix CarPlay/Android Auto system navigation sounds into your factory sealed radio channels. Without this small speaker, it is not otherwise possible to mix navigation sounds into those sealed radio channels.
The speaker allows you to integrate CarPlay/Android Auto system sounds into your original Lexus XM, FM and AM radio channels.
