This Apple CarPlay and Android Auto upgrade allows owners to access the services included in their mobile phone on the multimedia display screen and action them through voice activation or by manually prompting through the steering wheel controls or touchscreen itself. In this way they will be able to safely enjoy applications such as Google Maps, Spotify, Amazon Music, WhatsApp and Waze without the need to directly interact with their mobile phone.

The Apple CarPlay and Android Auto upgrade for compatible vehicles will be carried out by appointment at your local Lexus centre. Lexus recommends that owners arrange to have the upgrade installed during a scheduled service.

For more information on software upgrade pricing and to confirm vehicle compatibility, please contact your local Lexus centre.

*Lexus has installed its enhanced multimedia system as standard equipment across all vehicles since the 2020 model year. Depending on vehicle and specification, this means that most Lexus models with this system will feature Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality.

    1. Morning Kulwinder,

      Unfortunately, as the production date of your Lexus NX is October 2019, it is just outside the eligibility of the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto update.

      We apologise for the disappointment and inconvenience this causes.

      Thank you.

    1. Good afternoon,

      The Apple CarPlay and Android Auto upgrade is compatible with Lexus NX models produced from September 2018 to September 2019. As your NX was produced in 2017, regrettably it is not compatible with the retrofit.

      We apologise for any disappointment this causes.

      Thank you.
