Lexus CarPlay / Android Auto: Retrofit Kits and Gen 10 Activation
Lexus CarPlay and Android Auto upgrades usually come down to one question: do you need a hardware retrofit module, or can your car enable the function with an OEM firmware update. This category covers both options, so you can pick the correct route and keep the factory screen in 2026.
Hardware retrofit module: wireless CarPlay and Android Auto
If your Lexus does not have CarPlay/Android Auto from the factory, the retrofit module is the common solution. It keeps the OEM look and adds phone projection as an extra mode on the original display.
