Yes, you can install Apple CarPlay in your Lexus. Many new Lexus vehicles, as well as some pre-owned models, come with standard or available Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration technology. To set up Apple CarPlay in your Lexus, you can follow these steps:
1. Start your vehicle and turn on Siri Eyes.
2. Set the radio to wireless or Bluetooth mode.
3. Press and hold the voice command button on your steering wheel.
4. On your iPhone, navigate to Settings > General > CarPlay and select your vehicle.
If you have any further questions or need assistance with the setup, you can contact knowledgeable technicians at your local Lexus dealership.
Please note that the availability of Apple CarPlay may vary depending on the Lexus model and the model year. For example, the new GX and LX Lexus models for the 2021 model year do not have Apple CarPlay. It’s always a good idea to check with your local Lexus dealership or refer to the vehicle’s manual for specific compatibility and installation instructions.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
