Android tablet installed in a 2000 Lexus RX300 (Redux) 

Very well done, I have a 2000 Toyota Harrier ( sister car of Lexus RX300 ), and I need to install 7 inch Car stereo. I may just follow this set up. Challenge is extending cable from the present monitor to the console (8 wire loom)

Thanks for the positive comments. thinking of other mods like the turn signals etc, again looking as stock as possible is the challenge

if you use a iPhone X or 11 it fits perfectly in there, wouldn’t even fall off

I have thought of this but never done it. Nice job!!

Outstanding! I've no doubt that I could buy an android and take the dash apart. But that is how it would be forever a lump of wires that would never look factory slick like yours.

Brilliant! I was looking for something else when I came across this modification. Now, I have to get this done!

Well what I wanted most was Navigation in the dash, along with that I can view videos (though I don't do that much, listen to Sat Radio, streamed from phone, surf net if I felt need to, and listen to playlist via Power AMP Player app. sound quality is great (Remember I am still using the Lexus stock player)

I'm impressed!

Crazy idea, great mod!

Brilliant mod! Wish I was talented enough to do this, even with the instructions. If you're anywhere in the Midwest, I'd gladly drive to have you do this to my 2003!

please look below video I gave detailed instructions including the tablet and where I got it

Thats awesome! Nice work!

Will any tablet fit with this RX300 ? I have a 2001 RX300 and looking to install a new touchscreen stereo but some listings state that their stereos particularly fit for certain vehicles.

Ok William, as soon as I pick up my "new to me" 2001 RX300, (should be next week) I am making an appt. All the way from TX :). Your expertise is surely needed.

Very talented! Would you list what key features you gained from the android? Well done and thanks for sharing!

a more detailed break down of install the original screen is being held in place with four screws and a bracket. what you have to do is remove the wood grain trim around the shifter ( I used a screwdriver wrapped in tape) once that's off you'll se four 4 screws that surround the radio console remove these, the radio and screen will pull out there will be to connectors the hazard and the seatbelt light that are still attached remove these then remove the 3 connectors from the back of the cassette and the whole console will come out. behind the blue screen there will be a connector pull that out. set console aside. the connector you pulled out of the blue screen is the one you will need to extend to wherever you decide to relocate the blue screen to. cut several lengths of wire to the desired lengths needed to relocate that connector. run those wires to the new location (I used a coat hanger) you will need to drill a hole in the back of the drawer to run the wires through once thats done cut the connector off leaving enough wire to reconnect that connector at the far end of your extended wire and splice in extentions. once thats done remove the blue screen from the bracket (I think Its 4 screws and set bracket aside (you wont need it anymore). I found the best place to relocate the screen was the center console as it fit almost perfect, using cardboard to make a pattern I fabricated a surround for the blue screen out of MDS and covered it in gray vinyl and glued the screen in it permanently connected the connector in the screen and volia. As for a suggested screen I used a cheap china 5" android GPS for the first install but have since changed it as those don't come with Bluetooth and you WILL want that! ...lol. I used a repurposed android phone an LG intuition as my new carputer as it can do everything, it has built in GPS, it has wifi so I can use my current phone as a hotspot to stream Pandora, I can download music to it hand have it always on hand, it plays video, internet if needed (with hotspot),and BLUETOOTH. but you can use any 5" android or IOS if you wish, should fit anything larger ..not without modification Bluetooth is cool cause youll want to play music from your existing phone and you can purchase a Bluetooth OBDII connector from ebay $6 and now you can have it talk to you cars computer providing lie updates of engine performance not to mention you can clear some of those pesky check engine codes

you are a genius!

hello please how to transplant the sound of the screen on the car audio system thank you in advance

some guy in Taiwan are selling an Android AV system with navigation , which completely replaces the original display.

Nice

Great work buddy, i live in Calgary, Canada but i am willing to make the 2 day long drive if you are willing to help me do this on my Rx300. If you can make a video on how to do this from scratch that would be awesome and will help a lot of us.

Mr. Kent. could you please tell me which one is the seatbelt light? I'm going to try to do the tablet in my lexus.

nice work

I have a few questions and I'm really interested in this. I'm grading my rx300 and would like some info.

Do the wire from the bk of the radio have all the same setting like wire to the speaker so I can just get the speaker wire to run to my new harness I just need the speaker wire

good evening i would like to know how it is done installation if i can have a video on that it will make me happy

Can you do a video on how to do this please? I tried with the description but I got lost xD

What size and model tablet did you use and the original screen what bezel. Thx

Руки хорошо отмываются моторным маслом. Потом руки вытираются опилками древесными. Очень чисто.

can you do a video on how to remove the original screen? how many plugs goes into it?

How big of a tablet do you think would fit?

Brilliant!! Where do you keep your drinks?

Do you have to recharge the tablet?

Could you give some detail on how you extended the wires? I am trying to do this: i.ytimg.com/vi/I-ivC_CzaZw/maxresdefault.jpg but i want to swap exsisting Navigation down and aftermarket up. I would get rid of existing navigation but lexus is notorious for making climate control part of the touch screen.

I have the same lexus please i need To put also the same
