You can adjust the speed of the joystick, but not quite enough. Still, I prefer it over a touch screen. I find it very easy to use and wonder what all the fuss is about... MY biggest complaint is the crappy voice activation. If I hear "pardon?" one more time, I'm going to scream!. I just don't use it. My Google voice phone understands me completely - now if only THAT could integrate with the nav system.....

My 2016 GMC Sierra Denali has both Car Play and Android Auto-I use AA. There is no lockout while driving and the system is very nice, although maps could use more features I would prefer a Bluetooth connection over USB since there is also wireless charging. BT would be better for around town even if you had to plug in USB to use maps. I hate the system in my wife's RX and even more now that Ihave AA. We are looking for an RX replacement and want AA. We take long trips 7-8 times a year so the infotainment system is a higher priority for us than it would be for others. It's just disappointing that Lexus leads in so many ways but is so behind in their decision making to include CP and AA. They want to attract younger buyers and could have been one of the leaders!

Beatsonic - Anyone here have this?
this looks pretty amazing, I dont care about the video, but split screen Google maps or waze seems like it's worth it... anyone here have this?
I'm wondering what happens when a call comes in... which speakers and mic does it use?
also I have android, does it work as well as the iphone?

Watching other videos of this thecredolution is kinda blurry. I was holding out for their CarPlay feature they were bringing to the Lexus as their demo on YouTube was awesome. Now sadly it sounds like they aren't going to be bringing it to public for sale. Sad.

Guys, I installed this on my 2016 RX
It works as advertised
I followed the video and the document and was able to install it. Had some challenges to squeeze the cables back but figured out a way to do it
The video quality is RGB so you can see the videos but some of the text is not easy to read
Apple maps and Waze works fine and you can read the text, Google maps text is not always easy to read
The phone does not charge well when connected to the HDMI cable (I am using apple phone). I think this is an issue with Apple HDMI conververter instead of this device
The sound quality is amazing compared to bluetooth streaming
Overall I am happy with it

Mainly, what happens when you are screen sharing and you get a phone call? Does it go through the car mic and speakers?
does the navigation go through the car speakers?
can I listen to the car radio and still have the navigation run and give me directions?
thanks!

ALL audio from your mobile device goes through the speaker.
You cannot listen to radio on car unless you have radio app while running navigation.
