The LGVIF-CB7W is a plug-and-play wireless CarPlay and Android Auto interface built for 2018–2023 Lexus models including the ES, NX, RC, RX, LS 500, and LC 500/500h — with or 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.

Lexus USA approved — sold and installed at select Lexus dealerships
The LGVIF-CB7W 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-CB7W over a screen replacement?
Screen replacement kits permanently alter your factory system and can affect your vehicle's resale value. The LGVIF-CB7W 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-CB7W 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.
