Hi so I finally got myself a 2019 RCF. Have only driven it for a few hours but so far I’m loving the feel I get out of it. It’s a perfect blend of luxury and sportiness for me.

However, I realised although the infotainment screen is updated, but I don’t think it’s got apple car play. Is there a way to get it through software update like on my 2018 LC500? Or do I have to go aftermarket. If so, any suggestions?

 

Lexion makes a good upgrade.

 

According to the 2019 Brochure, the RC has Apple CarPlay. The 2019 RCF Brochure doesn't mention it You may want to query your dealer

Congratulations on the new ride. Not to hijack your thread, but what do you think of the LC? I would love to own one some day.

 

^^^^I have a 2018 LC with FBO. I ❤️ it I've had it for six years now - See myself keeping it for a looooong time.

No worries at all. I am happy to share my experience of the LC.
Having owned it for about 8 months, here are the good and bads:
g1: It is very well put together, material used in the cabin are of the highest quality. Everything feels super solid
g2: The side profile and rear of the car is stunning. I don't like the front end that much though, I prefer the is500 front-end to it.
g3: It sounds amazing, better than the is500 or rcf. Both intake and exhaust sounds really good.
g4: It is relatively comfortable and quiet, especially comparing to sports cars from other brands. But if you see it as a GT car, it's not that special (Bentley, for example, feels more premium when driving)
b1: It is very impractical, no rear seat space, no boot space, heck it's even only got 1 cup holder! (that tells you something)
b2: It is very wide, and you can feel it. I find it not as nimble and fun on spirited driving.
b3: The lack of communcation through steering wheels and the seats. I guess the high level of isolation is what lexus wants for a GT car. But I found it to be numbing and unfun.
b4: It is too soft. I heard ppl say the 2018 model has the stiffest suspension, but still I think it's too soft even in sport mode.
Overall, I think it's great value buying used. You should give it a try. However, it is not for me. If buying new, for the price, I would rather get a used 992 911.

 

Looks promising, thanks!

 

I think it's because the RC got the facelift here 1 year ealier than RCF.

 

Thank you for the insights! It makes me feel better about buying the RC F, which I bought several weeks ago(used 2015 model).
I also have a 2001 Corvette. I really like it, but with its age combined with GM poor quality, I feel like I will always be fixing something on it.

Sorry I wasnt any help on Apple Car Play. I'm still trying to figure out the basic settings on my new ride! LOL

 

I have a 2019. I added CarPlay. You can pay the dealership $100 to install it. Or if you search this forum enough you’ll find the links to download and install it for free. I can’t remember who, but a forum member pointed me in the right direction.

 

this might be the link you are referring to.

^^^^There you go

Thanks a ton. Is there a tutorial for DIY? I’m not sure how it works after you download it onto a thumb drive

 

This LC 500 thread from tofuprod has some useful information.
