Thumbs up Beat-Sonic CS11A Front Camera Interface for LC 500

Hello Club Lexus members,

We’re excited to share our CS11A Front Camera Interface for the 2018-2023 Lexus LC 500. This interface allows you to integrate a front camera into your factory screen, working seamlessly with your backup camera. (Note: the front camera is sold separately.)

Product Highlights:
  • Switch Between Cameras: Easily toggle between front camera, rear camera, and factory Lexus display.
  • Display While in Motion: Both front and rear cameras can be viewed while driving, providing added visibility and safety in tight spaces.
  • Rear Camera Without Reverse: Display the rear camera without shifting into reverse.
  • Programmable Timer: Front camera display duration can be set to 5, 10, 15, 20 seconds, or disabled (manual push on/push off).
  • Seamless Operation: Built-in video noise filter, image stabilization, and HD-quality resolution.
  • Plug-and-Play Installation: No modification or splicing required—keeps your factory harness intact.
  • Clean Installation: Includes a switch blank adapter to fit 3 different factory switch blank sizes.
  • Made in Japan for reliability and quality.

Recommended Front Camera:
  • BCAM11A: Black, front grill mounting type – our recommended option for the LC 500, though any compatible universal front camera can be used.

We’d love to hear from LC owners—how do you currently manage parking or tight-space navigation without a front camera? Share your experiences!

A great learning experience no doubt! I have heard a friend say the LC dash is one of the most complex things they've ever taken apart, even compared to exotics and other luxury vehicles.

Yes. that could be me trying to remove the when-new plastic covering on the dead-peddle after an uneventful and successful job on the brake and throttle ones. Frankly, it's still there.

At least you're now experienced if you ever need to remove anything!

Yeah, it was pretty bad—just layers upon layers to reach the display. When it came to pulling that big plastic piece with the display built in, it was wedged in so tight I kept pulling and prying, all the while thinking about how much they cost on eBay. I had it in my head there was a good chance I was going to break it. Finally, it popped out. Man, that thing was in there tight.

BeatSonic has a new vid out now. No need to remove the upper dash and that clear piece...

This 360 camera system looks nice. I can't tell who makes it, the name in the video seems to be the installer.

Ordered the latest version of the BeatSonic front cam kit...showcased in their YouTube vid.
A much easier install going in underneath the dash, center speaker.
I fabricated a different style bracket for a different mount location than the one the BeatSonic team is using...might install it this weekend. If so, I'll enclose a few more pics...

Thanks, you guys made it a lot easier for me...
I fabbed a bracket for the upper brace, as it was easier for me to drill with my larger hands; using a long drill bit and going straight through the grille openings.
Top notch product from you guys.

Anyone tried to fit this camera in the grill from newer model which does have a front-end camera hole? I want to make it stock look and I need to replace the grill anyway.
