​​​​​​Basics:
-Use a high quality 8GB flash drive
-Drive *MUST* be formatted in Windows using FAT32
-This update will stress the drive and may overheat the flash drive causing the update to fail.
-You may use any USB HDD/SSD, as long as the first partition is MBR, 8GB, FAT32
-Most common issues are flash drive read errors, overheating, and format issues
-The documents explain the recovery methods
Nice! Do you think it will work with Asian market displays as well? Or it worked for you since yours is US market display

unfortunately, the information about the update of the European ls500 was not confirmed, other models received updates, in your case you can install the wireless carplay module,it can be done in Warsaw

no, these updates are only for the market of Canada, the USA and Mexico, what is written in the bulletin, but in general they differ in the system number itself, so you need to look at the bulletin, they put other electronics in Europe, so the update does not work, maybe your electronics are different

True they are from different manufacturers as I remember while reading few months ago. Panasonic vs another ***

Thanks!

Any LS can be upgrade to Carplay and AndroidAuto, just by software update.
Even European models where Carplay & AndroidAuto were not available at all.

Is this possible for Asian (Japanese) models as well?
I'd be very interested if it's possible. Could you tell me?
