How do I add CarPlay to my Lexus GX?

To add CarPlay to your Lexus GX, you have a few options.
According to a post on the Lexus GX subreddit, there are aftermarket module systems available that can add CarPlay functionality to the Lexus GX460 from model years 2014-2021. These module systems, such as the Grom VLine VL2 Infotainment System Upgrade, integrate with the existing stereo screen and controls of your vehicle, allowing you to use CarPlay without replacing the entire head unit.
Another option is to check with a certified Lexus service center. According to a search result from Lexus of Cerritos, many new Lexus vehicles, including the GX, come with standard or available Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration technology. They may be able to assist you in setting up Apple CarPlay on your Lexus GX.
It’s important to note that the availability of Apple CarPlay may vary depending on the model year of your Lexus GX. For example, a search result from North Park Lexus Rio Grande states that the new GX models for the 2021 model year do not have Apple CarPlay. However, it mentions that all 2022 Lexus models, including the GX, will have Apple CarPlay.
Please keep in mind that these are just suggestions based on the search results provided, and it’s always a good idea to consult with a professional or contact Lexus customer service for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding adding CarPlay to your specific Lexus GX model.
