Get it here: amzn.to/3UfA5Xm This is my review on the seicane head unit for the Lexus LS430. It's the main aftermarket way to get Apple carplay and android auto in your LS430
Thanks for the review: one of my fears when I got my 05 LS430 UL was the "info" screen: as it was how you controlled so many things, if it went (I have 313000 miles on it now) I was in trouble: now I know there is a fix other than OEM (or junkyard), and might just upgrade to keep up with the times. The other is the air suspension, but... it really does ride well: not sure when I need to if I'll convert to the coilovers or bit the bullet, get the OEM bags and attempt it myself. Even with all of this, it best car I've ever owned, it just chews up TX highway miles but feels crazy modern for an almost 20 year old car. Thanks again...
Very interesting and helpful review. Thank you. I have the VLine which uses the native devise. That gives me the backup camera, but the screen is not as nice. As soon as I get in the car Car Play starts to set up. Usually takes about a minute to fully function, but I just leave the phone in my jacket pocket. I used to plug it in to the VLine unit, but it seems not to make any difference in terms of connection. Does yours use some kind of microphone for voice commands? VLine has this and I use it for Siri, or podcast or music requests through Spotify. Again, thanks for review.
Thank you. First thorough explanation I’ve seen of this setup and its functionality and compatibility. Reddit and forums all lacking crucial info. Gonna pull the trigger for ‘02 ML and add the backup camera. Will miss the period aesthetic a bit but the benefits are worth it.
