How to Install an Android Plug and Play Unit with CarPlay (Lexus RX 2016-2019)

Posted on by — No Comments ↓ 24 views

Hi everyone! In this blog post, we’ll teach you how to upgrade 2016-2019 LEXUS RX car system. This upgrade includes AOS Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto. Once connected, you can make calls, listen to music, use online map navigation, and access many other mobile phone applications.

Firstly, we will remove the brown decorative panels on both sides.

Again, there are two screws on each side that fix the host. We will unscrew them.


Then we will dismantle the entire original car engine and unplug all the plugs on its back.

This is what it looks like when taken apart.

Now start connecting the cables.

Now connect the power harness to the two plugs on the back of the original screen. Reconnect the communication serial port.

Connect the audio plug to the RCA cable. Finally, connect the power plug to the Android screen. Install and fix it again.

Now start connecting to the host section. Restore the corresponding plug on it.

Restore the silver decorative strip as well. Finally, install these two brown panels back in place. The installation is now complete.

As this car comes with Canbus, it needs to be set up for the first use. Now, our Android system has no sound when we first use it.

We need to switch to audio mode, and we can observe the switching status through the dashboard. Of course, this car supports the original car system.

We can click on Aux to enter the original car system and then control audio output through the original Canbus. After the setup is complete, we can start experiencing the Android car radio.

This supports synchronizing the original car air conditioning information, supports the regional car reversing camera, and supports switch reminders.

It also has many other rich features for watching online movies. You can use offline or online maps, support Bluetooth phone, and Bluetooth music.

Enjoy wireless CarPlay or Android Auto function from your phone in your car. Okay, that’s all for the video. Thank you for watching.
