The Hamilton Conversion Kit replaces the factory screen in a 2013-2018 Lexus IS with a touchscreen running wireless or wired CarPlay and Android Auto. It keeps the original Lexus interface, radios and microphone, and you switch back to the factory system by holding the menu button. An 8GB/128GB Qualcomm unit with 4G SIM support, it goes further than most CarPlay retrofit modules, which only mirror a phone. It suits IS owners who want modern navigation and streaming without changing cars, and who accept a full screen swap rather than a plug-in module.

Rated 4.9 out of 5 from 41 ratings, buyers are largely positive about the upgrade over the dated factory system.
This conversion kit replaces the factory screen in a 2013-2018 Lexus IS with a new unit that adds Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Both wireless and wired connections are supported. Apps can also be downloaded directly to the unit for features CarPlay does not offer, such as streaming, subject to local laws.
The housing is custom machined metal with a high-definition LCD display. The unit has 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage and uses a Qualcomm processor. It supports 4G SIM cards. The screen is fully touch-enabled in Hamilton OS, and the original mouse or knob works in both Hamilton OS and the original Lexus OS.
The kit keeps factory XM, FM and AM radio, the factory microphone, the backup camera and the steering wheel controls. Holding the menu button in front of the knob or mouse for three seconds switches back to the original Lexus OS. A knob rotates, while a mouse slides forward, backward and side to side. Check which version the car has before buying. In the USA, the Lexus IS shown started in model year 2014, and the kit does not support the 2013 convertible with the old-style Lexus screen.
