Excellent, start a new thread of your review on it.

Try not to clutter this thread which is about OEM retrofit. It will get harder to understand the information on this thread as we progress on both paths.

Thanks

Sorry, I have not. I have been super busy with work, school and my kids. Just finished a DIY to retro the front-end from 2014-2016 to a 2017+.
Ill be working on this next.

Just now joining you 3g IS350 owners, coming from a 2g IS350. She should be here next week, so I am reading fun posts like this in my spare time awaiting her arrival. Any updates on this? Did that cable end up working? Can we get a parts list?

Hey Edwin, how and with what? Is your setup also able to do Android Auto, or what would be different to get that running?
Thanks

I order this Link and then installed it to the back of the OEM unit. I got it with wireless CarPlay option.

Ah ok, so you've got a complete Android unit setup to output to the OEM unit, where the BeatSonic Apple/Android Carplay option is only to provide the output of Carplay to your OEM unit.

The unit comes with its own apps. Some of this apps need to use the box’s own GPS and speaker to be able locate an communicate. However, I have used YouTube, Waze and a few other apps from the box and it all works with the OEM speakers and microphone without any issues. Apple CarPlay works directly through the OEM stereo but uses the android box for comparability.
