They're incredibly vague about why it might not function with a regular 4-pole AUX cable, so I have doubts that it ever works.

My manual didn't even say that and I have the nav haha. If it's an option on your display it should work just fine.

Fyi you do not need the bypass to make this work. Just to make it work while driving.

Also, any 4 pole cable will work, you just might have to switch around the cables till you find the right configuration of left audio, right audio, and video.

Thanks in advance.

Yes it will work. I have it working in my 2015 IS 250 F-Sport non-nav. But as they stated, it will only work with the e-brake on. You have to buy the bypass unit in order to get it working while driving.

Very helpful post, thanks!

Will this also allow broadcast of Google Maps or Waze to the screen?

Yes. It will mirror anything on your phone. Just open maps and put it in Landscape Mode

Thats pretty cool. Anyone have a picture of it mirrored to the screen using google or maps (iPhone)?
Was pretty bummed about not having nav, but if this works out nicely it would be great!

For this to work, you don't need the bypass. The bypass is only necessary if you want to use this feature while the car is moving. Everything plugs in through the aux jack in the center console.

Anybody has the exact pin out on the car side? Just bought a Raspberry PI to put in the car and would like minimum wires possible. So if the pin out is like the PI, I'll be able to run a direct 4 poles jack.
