Our take on the 2016-2019 Lexus RX Hamilton Upgrade Kit for CarPlay and Android Auto

The Hamilton Upgrade Kit replaces the factory screen in a 2016-2019 Lexus RX with a touchscreen head unit running wireless and wired CarPlay and Android Auto. It keeps the original mouse and knob controls, the factory microphone and the XM, FM and AM radios, and it adds an 8GB/128GB Qualcomm platform with optional 4G SIM data. It fits every RX trim, including the RX350, RX450h, the L versions and F-Sport, and is tuned to work with Mark Levinson audio. It suits RX owners who want modern phone mirroring and app support without changing the car, and it goes further than most CarPlay retrofit modules because it runs its own app store and a full touchscreen OS.

About the 2016-2019 Lexus RX Hamilton Upgrade Kit for CarPlay and Android Auto

This kit upgrades the media system in 2016-2019 Lexus RX vehicles. It replaces the factory screen with a Hamilton screen that supports wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Apps can also be downloaded directly for features CarPlay doesn't offer, such as streaming, subject to local laws.

The kit has a Qualcomm processor with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, plus a custom-designed heat sink. It keeps the factory XM, FM and AM radios and the factory microphone. It is designed to work with Mark Levinson audio without changing audio quality. It accepts 4G SIM cards.

The screen is fully touchscreen in Hamilton OS. The original mouse or knob controller works in both Hamilton OS and the original Lexus OS. To switch between the two systems, long-press the menu button in front of the knob or mouse. The kit comes in separate versions for knob and mouse controls, so choose the one that matches your car. The knob rotates, while the mouse slides forward, backward and side to side. New features are delivered through over-the-air updates.
