Wow, I didn't think this was possible on the 4GS.
Is this only for video streaming (i.e. YouTube)? Or does it have the ability to replicate everything that is on your phone (i.e. Google Maps)?
Please keep us updated turbo1.

So the video says it works on the Generation 8 navigation system, which means this is applies to 2014+ models.
Here is a good chart of the Lexus navigation systems by year: http://www.lexusnavigation.com/how-to-install-update/
I have high doubt that this will work on the Gen 7 (2013) models. But I so hope you can prove me wrong turbo1!

I got the mobile entertainment integration system (MEIS) installed today.

It took me about 15 minutes to do the entire install. All you do is pull the trim around the navigation unit off, there are two 10mm bolts you have to take off and pull the entire unit out. On the back of the head unit you pull out one of the factory plugs and plug that into the harness provided. From the harness you plug that back into the head unit and you're done. Run the composite cables to wherever you're going to be plugging in your device. In order to play videos while driving you need to also install the navigation and video enhancement system.

I already had that installed previously so I didn't need to do that. That install took me quite a bit longer because there's a lot more different plugs and wires that aren't as easily accessible. I had most of my dash taken apart for that install. The kit also came with wires to be able to play video on other video screens besides the navigation screen, I skipped those steps because I don't have any screens in the back of my car.
Overall it was very easy to do and straight forward. It almost seemed like Lexus designed the navigation system to be able to play videos off an external source. Instead of an AUX tab on your media tabs, it's replace with an A/V tab. There was no other setup necessary, I literally plugged it in and was able to play videos right away. I had installed the Vaistech system on our 2012 RX350 and that was much more of a pain to install. It was a much larger unit I had install and hide, there were a lot more wires to plug in and it was more difficult to figure out how to use. The directions that came with the MEIS weren't that detailed but I was able to figure it out. Their set of directions that came with the navigation and video enhancement system was much more detailed including pictures of how to remove each body panel, where each bolt and clip is located and how to remove them. I referred to those directions when removing the head unit for the installation. The video playback works the same as when you play DVDs. The quality of the videos wasn't 't exactly what I was expecting, the videos seemed a little grainy to me. At first I thought it was because of the small screen but DVD video playback looks much better. My best guess would be its due to my phone's video output is poor quality or because of the composite cables. The Vaistech system I have on the RX350 uses component cables instead of composite and looks better in my opinion.

Does this mirror the iPhone or just play video? Can it mirror apps on your phone while driving such as WAZE?
