Just an FYI from 2006 to 2010 you can easy put this type into as I've found out the hard way 2010 to 2013 this type of head unit won't go in as the wiring changed at 2010 and up so hope I saved you money before getting one

I Bought One Haven't Installed It Yet Kinda Nervous To Do It Myself.. I Think If I Watch This 27 More Times I'll Be Good To Go.. Great Tutorial

If my car already had a built in rear camera with navigation system, could I just connect the stock cameras cable to the new radio unit or do I have to run a new line ? Please advise.

I did learn something new watching this video which was one of my biggest concerns . When I would raise or lower the volume on the steering wheel it will sound different from raising or lowering the volume touching the screen. Hopefully car setting, set into car will fix the probably . I kept peaking the audio and hearing distortion and static from the speakers

can we get a 1 year review? and is it still worth getting or is there a better one?

Hey bud, great video! Need some help in troubleshooting. I have the same radio. It's been 2 years now with it and no issues until now. The display won't turn on, my flashes work, my security light works and the passenger button comes on, and the lights but my display wont come on and there is no sound. Is there a reboot on these on the back of the radio?

Great walkthrough and explanation. Wish I would have gotten this one to replace everything vs. the one that just replaces the upper portion of the center console.

Hello my friend, I own a 2008 IS300 that does not have a screen in the first place. I went to buy the agency’s screen and tried to install it, but I found that the wires do not match each other. There is

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE VIDEO AS IT HELPED ME TO INSTALL MY RADIO. THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAD IS THAT I BUY THE RADIO ON AMAZON BUT THE AIR CONDITIONING CONTROL DID NOT WORK THROUGH THE TOUCH SCREEN. I DON'T KNOW IF MY CAR NEEDS THE FIBER CABLE ONE OPTICAL SINCE MY LEXUS IS A 2009 IS 250 WITH GPS.

So could you say this just basically plug and play throughout all Lexus models 2007-2012? Cause I have a 2007 es350 and would like replace my radio as well.

How's it holding up after a year? Any pros and cons?

[stanhazan]

great video and info but camera moves around a lot. Can you place on a tripod for a steadier video?

[shaipatel]

Will this handle 13 speakers that came with my car? I have 2012 IS250 with XM radio and 6 cd changer.

How do you not make it play the preloaded songs when the car is turned on?

This video was posted 2 years ago but I hope you read this: Did you connect to the stock amp or did you connect directly to the speakers?

[poetify]

Great video! I’m not sure if I missed it or not, but does this support car play?

[benmunger]

How do you turn on the defrost on the back windshield, front windshield and the side mirrors?

[vincentzou]

When I connect my phone to the usb, it keeps going on and off, I’m not sure if a wire is loose or something, my a/c seems weaker than normal as well on my 2006 lexus is350. Sometimes the screen lighting glitches and blinks for a bit . I tried to connect to my hotspot but it won’t even find any phones just houses and different cars Wi-Fi’s . I’m not even sure how to screen mirror yet on iPhone lol. Just got this car btw . Thinking about resetting the whole system and logging into with a email. The nav and browser says it’s offline as well I guess you have to be connected to wifi all the time ? Sometime my door icons stays open when it’s actually closed as well . I’m going to try to update but if nothing gets better . Might go get everything calibrated and rebooted or whatever with new wires etc i guess
