Update 2012-2015 Lexus RX350 with Wireless Carplay/Android Auto - Use Google Maps, Spotify, & Apps
The OEM factory infotainment system in my 2013 Lexus RX350 was outdated and, as a result, not very useful. After purchasing the new computer (link below) from CarLink Life, I updated my system to include a wireless connection (bluetooth/wifi) to my cell phone. With Android Auto or Carplay, my Lexus now runs Google Maps for navigation and many other modern apps for entertainment. Apps include Spotify, Pandora, iHeartRadio, etc. The DIY installation was rather straightforward, requiring use of a 10 mm socket and some panel remover tools. See Amazon links below to purchase supplies. The OEM interface can still be used...simply press and hold the "Menu" button to return to the original stereo (FM/AM radio, CD Player) and menu interface. My Lexus navigation system is fully modernized. New life was breathed into my car!
