I was wanting to update my 2007 LS 460 center display to a more updated system. Is this something that Lexus can do? I am trying to get a system that I can use Pandora and/or Spotify. If this is possible, how much do I need to budget. I do have the Markk Levinson sound already installed so it would just be the center display computer that i need to upgrade if possible.

MANY of us here at CL have used their products. I for one have their module that allows me Bluetooth streaming on my 2008

I sold my Vaistech when I sold my 600hL but you can mirror your android or iphone..best mod for the factory screen in my opinion. I have a 2012 now so I'm on the hunt for another one..pref used

I know you had relative success with that, but most of the rest of us, did not. Clunky, awkward, and not without numerous hiccups that simply made it all too frustrating and not worth the aggravation. So much money down the toilet. I still long for a truly well-integrated mirroring system.

hopefully with android auto better things will be coming soon... I've no hope for Car Play as apple takes FOREVER to make it too market..

I provided the recipe that worked for me as a ML and Self Parking equipped LS. Once I implemented Chromecast..it was perfect. In fact I'm looking for a used Gen 6 unit to put into my 2012

I just wish Vais had an all in one unit.

Not sure what you mean by this, Apple CarPlay is out now, my cousin's Honda Civic has it.

yes it's out... but not an aftermarket to oem integration unit.. u either need an aftermarket head unit already equipped with car play or purchase a new car with car play in its firmware.. to retrofit it into an older car there doesn't yet exist an option. hence I said it will take a long while for it too reach market.. android auto will be out faster..

furthermore for all the apple guys.. try this.. it's work for us in the past.. purchase whatever a/v input device u wish.. (to get your a/v signal to the oem screen)then add an apple tv unit to its a/v input. u can use your phones wifi Hotspot to feed it signal or u can get a dedicated in car hotspot.. either way u can then screen mirror from your iPhone to the car thru the apple tv.. or u can use the apple tv as it's own source....

It's coming, BeatSonic is working on a module for Lexus right now. This has nothing to do with Apple. Apple isn't going to sell aftermarket modules nor will Google.

I hope beatsonic has it for the 2007 models. I just bought the Navi/DVD overwrite from them. I asked him about a video input bit he said it's difficult.

Shibumi1

they've had few different video inputs for our cars..(I have the Vaistech ML plus) that's the easy part...what's was harder is getting a glitch free wifi interface.. there are tons out there... but a glitch free 1 is hard.. for Apple it's the apple tv... for android u have chrome cast,fire sticks an a bunch of other...

I used Chromecast - no joy.
