The LGVIF-CB2W is a plug-and-play wireless CarPlay and Android Auto interface built specifically for 2013-2021 Lexus models with factory navigation. Unlike full screen replacement kits, this interface works with your existing factory display - keeping your original Lexus system, steering wheel controls, factory microphone, and factory navigation fully intact.

Lexus USA approved - sold and installed at select Lexus dealerships
The LGVIF-CB2W is one of the only aftermarket CarPlay interfaces approved by Lexus USA. Select authorized Lexus dealerships carry and install this kit directly - which means it has passed rigorous testing and R&D validation to meet Lexus's own quality and compatibility standards. If you trust your Lexus to last 200,000 miles, you can trust the only CarPlay interface Lexus dealers actually stand behind.
Why choose the LGVIF-CB2W over a screen replacement?
Screen replacement kits permanently alter your factory system and can affect your vehicle's resale value. The LGVIF-CB2W integrates cleanly behind your factory screen with no harness modifications and no cutting. Your Lexus looks and drives exactly as it came from the factory - just with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto seamlessly added.
Unlike unvetted third-party units, the LGVIF-CB2W is Lexus USA approved and carried by select Lexus dealerships nationwide. That approval isn't handed out lightly - it reflects years of R&D, real-world testing on Lexus vehicles, and a reliability standard that generic interfaces simply don't meet.

Frequently asked questions

No. Factory USB ports continue to function normally with the factory infotainment system.
Will my phone charge while using CarPlay?
Yes. Your phone charges through the USB dongle while in CarPlay or Android Auto mode.
What's the audio quality like?
Audio routes through your factory Bluetooth, so sound quality is identical to factory.
Is this compatible with the Beat-Sonic front camera adapter?
Yes. The LGVIF-CB2W works seamlessly with the Beat-Sonic front camera adapter.
Can I listen to satellite radio while in CarPlay mode?
You can use your factory SAT radio, but Siri and turn-by-turn voice will not play through it. Use a SiriusXM app through CarPlay instead.
What years of Lexus can add Apple CarPlay with this kit?
