Default Updates are expensive

In the U.S. the update is approximately $300 plus installation by a Lexus Dealer. Your car may have other maps installed, look for the map regions in the main menu under setup. A Lexus dealer can help. Good Luck!

did you try it? The replacement screens sold on Aliexpress? If so, I would love if you could post a few photos of the results.

I have a JDM model, installed a Grom with the LEX6RT cable, and I was not happy with the result. My car has a front camera and the Grom interfered with the function.

I'm happy now just with a Bluetooth audio connection to my iPhone and mounting the phone near the radio buttons with a wireless (magnetic) charger.

i am in Australia. so the HS i am looking is also JDM model. i am looking for 2013 model which has more sleek frontal look. while i shop for the car in dealer, i found the radio can change into English. i had tried something from taobao. but i am not sure if i want to proceed to change over or not. somehow, i am still less confidence to replace into android monitor. let me explore further once i bought the car. recently, there are many new gadgets available. just dont know if it may be work for some old car like HS

It's an interesting photo. Seems to be a N America spec car (LHD) but the stereo includes a Sony Minidisc player - an option I didn't think was sold in the USA.

i have a feeling these android things might be best suited in a lower-spec American model, where there originally no screen at all and just a little storage panel in the center there.

I checked with the seller. They told me they will keep the stock amp and control. so the magic is the android monitor which can integrate to the existing system, However, the monitor will be not able to fold down.

So, you did not buy this car?

I am curious to know if it has the air filter control, HDD music ripping settings, front camera setting and all that other stuff from the stock system.
