It varies from model to model. Their website says for the IS, it's from 2012 to 2017. Sorry.

Highly recommended. I've had them do various installations with excellent results. It was $200 to do the Lexion installation.
I dropped it off at 9 and got it back about 1.

thanks so much for your information!!!

You may want to double check with Lexion about compatibility. 2012 model yr is actually 2nd Gen IS, this screen formfactor will not fit for sure, it has completely different stereo system not sure why Lexion shows this yr.

The larger screen that must be super.
I m very intresting by LEXION A10 LXS. Can you use the scroll whell OEM to move on the screen ?
If there some inconvenience, what would it be ? - like you can't listen the navigation and listen the audio on the Radio in the same time - what else?

I have a mouse. I'm sure the wheel would work as well. You specify what you have when you order. Everything works well, boots up very fast. The company's communication is slow. That's the downside.
The unit goes behind the glove box. I had a shop install it. Wired and wireless. The large screen is very elegant. Touch screen.
You cannot listen to music on the Lexus side and listen to turn by turn directions in Lexion at the same time. You can listen to music and get audio turn by
turn by turn in Lexion at the same time. For me, I was willing to pay more and wait for responses to have this unit with the large touchscreen.

Does the hard up/down button to change pages work in Carplay, they're next to Menu button from Joystick? They zoom in and zoom out in OEM map not sure they're functional in Lexion system.

Doesn't do anything in Spotify or Google Maps. I never think about these buttons in Lexus. Maybe sometimes now I will

This video showed up today in my YouTube feed. It was posted yesterday. I'm posting it to show that Lexion is still active, even
if their communication is slow. It's in Korean. He presses the up/down buttons a few different times, but it doesn't look like it
does anything. Is this Android Auto? CarPlay looks 100% better than this when my apps show up. Background too.

It looked like page went up when he pressed up button maybe I’m seeing things but it’s not a big deal. He was using Android OS but YouTube split screen is pretty cool. I’ll try out Android once I get mine it looks very fast fluid to use no lag.

He has lots of 360 camera demo for ES that looks pretty cool. Too bad it’s in Korean I don’t understand what’s being said.

Everything is smooth, connects lightning fast (wired and wireless) and the screen makes a huge
difference. I paid $200 to have it installed. A guy on the forum came and saw it in action and loved
it as well. I'm in the Bay Area BTW. The communication is spotty with the company, but for me it was
worth the wait. I didn't want any issues and there are none.
How long is the boot time? Is it around 40s-1 min like other aftermarket options?
