So just recently read that Lexus is able to add CarPlay to 2018/2019 models but when looking at the list, GS was excluded. Only supported models were LS, LC, RC, RC F, and NX.
Wonder why that is since I don't believe there are any differences in the systems? Seems all it would require is a $199 fee and a software update done at dealership, but it looks like some people were successfully able to just do it themselves with a USB drive...
Thoughts?

I'm not sure, but it appears the GS has a previous gen infotainment system that is not compatible with CarPlay. Same goes with the RX. These 2 models are in need of a refresh.

Correct the Gs has the previous year infotainment system and was not compatible with it. There are other options though you can use such as beatsonic http://www.beatsonicusa.com/if04ep.html the mirror.

You might be able to add carplay using the GROM VL2, I have a GSFS with it installed.
