The LGVIF-CB3W is a plug-and-play wireless CarPlay and Android Auto interface built specifically for 2014–2021 Lexus models without factory navigation. Unlike full screen replacement kits, this interface works with your existing factory display — keeping your original Lexus controls, factory microphone, and infotainment system 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-CB3W is one of the only aftermarket CarPlay interfaces approved by Lexus USA. Select authorized Lexus dealerships carry and install this kit directly — meaning 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-CB3W over a screen replacement?
Screen replacement kits permanently alter your factory system and can affect your vehicle's resale value. The LGVIF-CB3W 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-CB3W is Lexus USA approved and carried by select Lexus dealerships nationwide. That approval reflects years of R&D, real-world testing on Lexus vehicles, and a reliability standard that generic interfaces simply don't meet.

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?

Can I use my smartphone mirroring kit together with this?
