Navigation Option for late 2IS
Hi Neurus, Thank you very much for the comprehensive report on your project. I had been searching for a solution for my 2013 IS350 F-Sport. It only has 46,000kms on it so I'd like to keep it for many more years and the only issue I had was the ridiculous cost for an update of maps for the OEM system. The link you have provided is extremely promising. -

Navigation Option for late 2IS
Just sharing this in case someone is interested. I installed an Android Auto / Apple CarPlay kit on my 2012 IS350. It is not cheap, but I like my car and I wanted to have updated maps. I did the installation myself; I deviated a little bit from the supplied instructions. I used a DNA USB adaptor instead of the supplied one as I didn’t want to drill a new hole. I also modified slightly the microphone to make it fit in a blank button cover. This supports wired or wireless connectivity. I have been using it since February connecting my Pixel phone. The system is 100% stable; it always connects on the first attempt and responds quickly. A long press on the hangup steering wheel button toggles between OEM and the kit. I had an audio issue which I found a solution for. Their support generally responds quickly. I would rate this 9.5 out of 10. I have nothing to do with the company that sell this; I am just sharing it as someone might be looking for options.
