The 2017 Lexus RC300 is a stunning vehicle that delivers performance and luxury, but its infotainment system can feel a bit behind the times. In this video, we bring this coupe up to speed by installing a wireless Apple CarPlay upgrade. This system completely transforms the driving experience by bridging the gap between your smartphone and the car's original display. The result is a modern, connected drive that gives you access to your favorite apps without cluttering your dashboard with mounts or cables.
Wireless Freedom on Your Factory Screen
One of the biggest advantages of this upgrade is the convenience of wireless connectivity. You no longer need to fumble with cords every time you get in the car. As soon as you start the engine, your iPhone connects automatically, projecting interfaces like Google Maps, Waze, and Spotify directly onto your Lexus factory screen. This allows you to navigate traffic with real-time updates and listen to your playlists with ease. For Android users, the system also supports Android Auto options to ensure everyone stays connected.
Unlike basic FM transmitters or auxiliary adapters, our Apple CarPlay interface is designed to work with the vehicle, not against it. It utilizes the factory microphone and speakers, ensuring that your phone calls are crystal clear and your music sounds exactly as the premium Lexus audio system intended. You can use Siri voice commands to send messages or make calls, keeping your eyes safely on the road while you drive.
Seamless Integration with Original Controls
A major concern for Lexus owners is usability, specifically regarding the factory joystick or touchpad. We understand that you want an upgrade that feels native to the car. This installation retains full functionality of your original control knob and steering wheel buttons. You can maneuver through the CarPlay menu, select apps, and adjust settings using the same controls you are already used to. There is no learning curve, just enhanced capability.
At Car Systems Installation, we pride ourselves on maintaining the integrity of your vehicle. This installation involves no cutting of wires or permanent modifications to your dashboard. We carefully hide the module behind the scenes, leaving your interior looking exactly as it did when it rolled off the lot. Whether you are looking to update a 2017 model or a newer vehicle, our team ensures a flawless integration that adds value and comfort to your daily commute.
