iPhone (phone/tablet) mirror on Non-nav IS250 Question
Hi all, I just picked up an IS 250 after my 02 IS300 finally died on me (after almost 200K miles!)
I bought a non-nav as I have a 2008 RX400h and the Nav was never really great. I end up using my phone anyway. I want to know how to mirror my phone so I can display the map. I have looked at several posts about using the AV and getting a bypass, but most of the bypass links do not work, and it seems like there is no one configuration that works for IS owners.
Mine is a 2014 IS 250 (non-nav) US version. I have an iPhone 5s - any way I can mirror my phone and see the map screen as I drive?
Thanks!

Good Question - with "Car play" now being used, is there anything software based? I am pretty handy and took my old IS300 apart plenty of times, but I'd rather not take anything apart on something I just bought from a dealership.

Yeah I don't want to void my warranty..
Hoping there is a way with like adapters/cables to connect my phone to the nav screen.. without taking apart the car.

Agreed. I am planning on giving the service department a call this weekend. I'll update a response here. I've also thought about calling local places that install alarms and so on - maybe they'll have ideas/insight.

There is a guy in a radar thread who links to how to do this.
You need a mini to full size HDMI cable and then an HDMI to Composite powered converter...and then a composite cable that has RCA jacks on one end and 1/8th jack on the other end... at least that's what I got from it..
Seems like so much work. Instead what i did was bought a magnetic mount and just use my phones screen for nav and the regular screen for the radio.

Don't hold your breath - Lexus has "no plans" to support Android Auto or CarPlay.
