I wouldn’t know. You would have to try. Maybe it would be plug and play since the same vehicle comes with navigation and wider screen and have parking sensors.

The back and forth in the video is purposely done to show everyone some of the functions I’ve been asked about. I also just put my phone on my round magnetic wireless charger and let it do it’s thing. Every time I get in my car all I do is open switch to Android mode by pressing the hang-up bottom for a second and the car does the rest. It remembers where I left of via Bluetooth. Waze opens automatically since it is what I use the most and the music I was playing previously. If I had it on YouTube it would open in YouTube, if I had it on google maps it would open on google maps and so on every time the unit powers on.

Does wireless CarPlay work pretty well? I like the idea of not connecting to wire every time I get into the car.

Not really. I would say it works about 70% of the time for me. I don’t know if it is because I am in beta version of iOS13 that is glitching the signal and causes it to sometimes disconnect. The sound sometimes it would be choppy as well. I have sent Apple my logs about this so hopefully they fix it. Seems like the bluetooth and wireless are the issue
. Wouldn’t know until an official iOS is release. It works excellent when plugged in tho.

I wonder if this will work on an RC, it doesn't say it explicitly on the ali xpress page but the RC and IS are fairly similar in the interior. I would just want to make sure it'll fit. Its ridiculous that Carplay hasnt been put on '16+ Lexus vehicles.
