Thank you for this.
I have asked this before. Is there a way to test the system at home? Can i connect a monitor and somehow power the device without connecting to Lexus. Thanks. |
1. Make sure you have a monitor you can connect outside your car, or on the passenger seat with an RCA cable that is long enough to reach the dash. |
qvtruong (or anyone): do you know how to adjust the resolution of Carplay on the Android box? I have the same 12.3" screen, but I only get 4 icons across instead of the 5 you show in your pictures. It also looks blocky and stretched compared to yours. I've dug around the menus, but can find an option for changing it. The Android menus look correct - the problem is with the Carplay screens only.
ETA: I read back through the whole thread and watched your initial video again. I did not check the settings when first going into Carplay, nor did I check for Carplay updates on that screen. I'm away from the car for 24 hours, but I'll check that tomorrow night. |

Can you have carplay on the left 2/3 of the screen (of a LHD vehicle) and leave the right 1/3 to show, for example, the hybrid energy monitor? |

Nope, it’s basically 2 computers connect to 1 screen. You can only see one at a time. |

thanks. Will it switch to the surround camera when you come to a stop and then revert back to carplay once you start moving? |

Bearcat had this issue before. We tried to fix it ourselves, but unsuccessful, so he contacted Cosmo to get it fixed. If you already select Lexus 1280 as the resolution and it’s not fixed, I suggest you to contact Cosmo or other sales person. |

See attached for instruction to turn "Master-On" on setting. All sounds now go through car's speakers. I'll spend some more time on it after work, but if anyone has any pointers please share. |
try AUX Choose AUX from Lexus original UI then go to Android or carplay then try. For the BT connection, try to connect Android box from Lexus first then go to Android setup. Then you will see The Lexus BT. Hope this helps.

qvtruong, connecting the audio is the last problem I seem to be having. As I follow along with the instructions you posted after turning Master off, I am able to do the first step - adding the Android box from my phone (step A). When I try step B, clicking Search only shows my phone on the list and it is already connected. I completed the rest of the steps anyways, and the audio doesn't work.

Can anyone elaborate on how to remove the trim behind the screen? I got everything else, but that back trim doesn't seem intuitive to me to remove.
Edit: Nevermind, found this: |

I did after watching that video and seeing it needed to go straight up. I actually found it easier to remove the front bolts which allowed enough play to pull the screen up which loosened the back.
For some reason my unit "flickers" in the OEM mode now, but works in the android mode. Not sure if anyone has seen this before? The MCU upgrade reports I have the latest firmware already. |
Interestingly the rearview camera does not flicker, but the right side media computer display does... i did try re-seating all the display cables but no change. :( i may may have a dud and have to return it. Cosmo has not responded. |

Actually they were super helpful.... I have only one issue I noticed yesterday: When I use navigation apps (happened with both google maps and waze) I noticed sometime the screen just freezes... which is quite annoying when you are on a long road you don’t actually realize it... to solve it I had to unplug the iPhone and replug again... maybe I need to update the system as you mentioned... one last thing (a really great point) now when you enter the android system through media/AUX pathway on Lexus interface, all sounds go through the car speakers and your calls go through the car mic exactly as you woukd if you were connecting through Bluetooth.... no need to connect the system through bluetooth to get those features.... and the sound is amazing!!!!

Cosmo hooked me up with the steps to fix the stretched Carplay screen. Basically the fix is to clear out application data for Carplay, but he sent it as a video. When I get home, I'll either attach the video here or transcribe it into instructions in case anyone else has the same problem. I have to say, this thing is awesome!
