I really want to bring my '09 IS250 to 2015 with a new dash unit. I hope this works for our cars. I currently have a NAV system that I NEVER USE except for climate controls.

Check out video and I tried to summarize the specs below.






-Two-DIN unit

Runs on a slightly customized version of Android 5.0 offers;
media playback
navigation
telephony
dash cam
air control (would this ever work with our built in climate controls/nav?)
parking assistance
onboard diagnostics (for tire pressure, parking sensors, air conditioning and more); as well as voice -control for some of these features.

-Support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

-7-inch 720p "IPS Pro" touchscreen

-4 x 55-watt audio amplifier

-Wired wide-angle 1080p dash cam (with "Super HDR")

-Bluetooth 4.0 LE

-5GHz Wi-F

-Rear ports;
GPS
HDMI
microphone input
ethernet
onboard diagnostics
USB devices

Anything can work with a little bit of time and money

Keep us posted if you go this route. It'll look great!

I definitely will be going this route, or another! I keep my screen off at all times. Its useless to me :/
So I am desperately looking into alternatives.

Will update if I find any new information. I have some buddies currently at CES, sent them a lits of questions.

To Answer my question, found out climate controls is controlled thru OBD2 dedicated connector from unit.

Sadly after 8 months of announcing the product, it seems that they decided to go a different route. It will only be available to manufacturers

I'll shall continue on my long quest for true "Carplay" integration into my OEM Nav/Screen screen/ :Sigh

That's a shame, my factory nav touch screen stopped working and would like to just replace the entire unit with something aftermarket, it's a bit dated anyways


Just to clarify does that mean an aftermarket unit would not work with our cars to control the climate?
