Description Reviews FAQ & Manuals

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.

Professional local installation available in La Mirada, Southern California. Contact us at info@beatsonicusa.com to book.

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?

Did my Lexus come with CarPlay from the factory?
Lexus began adding factory Apple CarPlay with the 2019 model year on most models (2018 on some). If yours is older, or a trim that shipped without it, this interface adds wireless CarPlay and Android Auto while keeping the factory screen, navigation, and controls.

Excellent CarPlay Upgrade for My Lexus ES 350!

I installed the Beat-Sonic wireless Apple CarPlay system in my 2015 Lexus ES 350, and I'm extremely happy with the results!

The installation was straightforward, and I really appreciate how seamlessly the system integrates with the factory navigation screen and controls. It gives me all the modern functionality I wanted without sacrificing the original look of the interior.

Wireless CarPlay connects easily, the factory controls work great, and having access to Google Maps, Spotify, and my other apps makes the car feel years newer.

I also appreciate that Beat-Sonic offers a solution specifically designed for these vehicles rather than requiring an aftermarket head unit.

Overall, it's a fantastic upgrade, and I'd absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to modernize their older Lexus while keeping everything looking factory. Well worth the investment!

Awesome device, easy to install

I installed this in a 2015 LX 570 and it did exactly what I was hoping for. The install was straightforward, it plugs into the factory harness, and nothing about it required permanently modifying the vehicle, which mattered to me. Android Auto has run reliably since, without the dropouts or lag I had been worried about, and it makes the original head unit genuinely useful again. Set against the cost of replacing the entire system, this was well worth the price.

Great to finally have Android Auto in my Lexus GSF

I absolutely love my car, but always found it annoying to look at my phone for maps or have it heat up on sunny days. I finally decided to do the install and wish I had done it sooner.

The module itself is very solid and feels OEM. Smooth, no lag, and the install was pretty easy just following the video instructions. The only minor thing I've noticed is a slight speaker whine in AV mode, which might be a grounding issue.

Overall, totally worth it. If you're contemplating it, go for it!

Nice Upgrade

Nice upgrade that integrates with the existing screen and mouse interface already in the Lexus, so makes for a very clean, seamless install.

Positive:
-installation is pretty straightforward and not complicated at all. Really just involves removing some dash panels, swapping some connectors, and tucking things away clean. Novice can do this. Installation videos were very clear and helpful, walking you through the whole thing.
-As you probably know most of the OEM services are a dead end since they stopped 3G, so this is a must have for navigation, music streaming etc.
-this does coexist nicely with the existing system. Backup camera still works, you can easily toggle to the old system to access info, menus, etc. Because audio is toggled via the radio, you can still flip back easily to listen to AM/FM/SAT. Best of both worlds!

Other Thoughts:
-pricey
-as mentioned by other reviewers, mouse pointer does not snap-in to command buttons like the OEM system so it takes more accuracy/precision/concentration when driving, not ideal.
-no touch screen but obviously that's a trade off you have to make if your integrating with existing HW.

Overall I am happy with this, nice way to modernize. I really like how it integrates fully, and obviously some trade-offs had to be made to accommodate that. If the alternative is a cheap no-name, one-size-firs-all PRC produced option with an ancillary screen and wires and whatnot, this is the only way to go.

Nice product. Nice support.

The being charged and having it shipped was a breeze. Having a prefessional shop attempt to install it, and have my car nearly break down as a result of it was not expected. True disappointment came when they were willing to replace it, but when i wanted a refund they tasked me with shipping and the cost to at first. Then allowed me to incur over 300 follars in labor and then copped out on sharing that cost bc i didnt take it to a vendor of their choice, but failed to mention they even had a vendor list of where to take it until i asked for the refund and restitution. Soo now im sending it back at a loss, and think very poorly of the company. And once refund is processed ... assuming it is. I will ve sure to voice my experience across all platforms, social media, google and inbetween... 300 times to hopefully spare another unknowing soul of how poorly their customer service is. Not to mention how their product isnt AS easy and functioning as it is.
