This upgrade kit adds wireless and wired CarPlay and Android Auto to the original screen of a 2007-2008 Lexus GS. It is a module made by Hamilton Motor Company engineers. It installs behind the original screen and radio assembly.
Long-holding the voice button on the steering wheel switches between the original Lexus interface and the CarPlay or Android Auto interface. The kit keeps the original backup camera, steering wheel controls and Mark Levinson audio quality.
The kit uses the original radio to play music, so the factory FM, AM, XM and CD player stay available. CarPlay and Android Auto can mix navigation directions into music streamed from a phone. They cannot mix navigation sounds into the factory XM, FM and AM channels, which are sealed radio channels.
