Posted on by — No Comments ↓ 20 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.

Hello everyone, today I will teach you how to upgrade the old Lexus RX, specifically focusing on its central console.

Firstly, we will begin by removing the decorative panel of the gear shift.

Then, we’ll take out the cigarette lighter panel, setting it aside as it doesn’t need to be removed completely.

Next, we’ll unscrew the four screws that secure the original car CD host, allowing us to remove the regional CD host and unplug all the necessary plugs from the back.

Similarly, we’ll unscrew the two screws securing the original car screen and remove the regional car screen, unplugging all the plugs from the back as well.

Moving on, we’ll remove the air outlet from the original car and install it onto the new car radio.

We’ll also install the matching metal frame onto the new car radio. Then, we’ll start connecting the wires, including the GPS antenna, fourth-generation antenna, video input cable, USB transmission cable, RC audio cable, and the original car plug. We’ll find a suitable one based on the size of the plug on the new power C, and if there isn’t one available, there’s no need to connect it.

Next, we’ll connect the Canbus box, ensuring all connections are secure.

Then, we’ll connect the Wi-communication plug to the car radio and its button panel plug.

We’ll connect the reverse plug to the video input cable and insert the original car radio and CH into the car radio.

Finally, we’ll connect the OBD socket and the screen power plug.

Once all connections are completed, we’ll install the car radio, fixing the two screws at the bottom, and reinstall the cigarette lighter panel.

Finally, we’ll install the gear decorative panel. Before use, we’ll need to set up the Canbus so that we can use the air conditioning and steering wheel buttons.

Additionally, the upgraded system offers many functions, including supporting local music and other software, online music with adjustable sound tone preferences, local and online videos, automatic search for local radio stations, local and online maps, Bluetooth phone and music support, and compatibility with Carplay and Android Auto for making phone calls, listening to songs, and using mobile application functions such as online maps.

Your ride just got an assistant! Imagine having your favorite apps from your iPhone accessible right on your car’s dashboard. Maps, music, messages, and more – all at a touch or voice command. Carplay is like having your best friend as your co-pilot, making every journey more enjoyable and safer.
