Wait so what "source" do you have to leave it in order to hear carplay or the andriod? Do you change the source to AUX? Or does the source need to be bluetooth audio?
Would love another video of how it starts up etc? |

Would love another video of how it starts up etc? To hear music through the car’s speaker, after booting to carplay, you need to select bluetooth source on your car, and bluetooth output on your phone. On your phone, there will be 2 audio output: Auto Box and Lexus’ multimedia bluetooth. If you select Auto Box, music will play on the andoird box speaker. If you select lexus’ one, it will play through car’s speaker via bluetooth. That is for music. For navigation sounds and siri, it can only play through the android box speaker (can’t make them to play car’s speaker). For phone call, it works either way. When you pick up a call, most of the time it will play on car’s speaker. Sometimes it doesn’t, then on your phone, change output to the lexus’ bluetooth. Choosing the AUX in Media is just a way to boot to carplay, after that it will stay in carplay and you can change to other source. Same for the Mode button, it just to boot to android, then you can change the audio source you would like. However, for some reasons, these two ways don’t work reliably for me. The only method that work reliably for me is to hold the hang up phone on steering wheel for 3 seconds and it will swtich to carplay. |
question when your in Carplay what happens when you press the "Menu" button on the mouse? Does it go back to the Lexus info system? How can you switch to the lexus info system when you are in carplay or andriod?

to switch between carplay and lexus enform, press and hold hang up phone for 3 seconds. the back button will act as back in carplay the home button will go to the android’s home interface. up and down, maps button won’t work in android/carplay |
Confirmed, there is a setting to connect the android box bluetooth to the lexus bluetooth, so all the sounds will go through the car’s speaker. |

If you replace, most likely you need to figure out how to get to the OEM features/options/settings such as the backup camera, steering wheel control, using the knob, lexus vehicle settings, etc. I don't have it, so I'm not sure how hard or easy it is to do it. Also, the screen on RX 350 is placed kinda far away, so touch screen is not really safe while driving. If you want to switch back, you need to put the OEM display back in. It takes time. For the android box, it's like just another computer that connects to the lexus display. Click a button to switch to android and back to lexus and vice versa. |
