iPhone mirroring to navigation screen

[Crowe]

Hi there,just wondering has anyone been able to mirror their Iphone to navigation screen here in the UK,I have a 2013 is300h with premium navigation and I'm only seeing info on this subject in the USA,if you can help me out with any advice would love to hear from you.👍🏻

I can help you out but not give the answer you are hoping for. Unfortunately mirroring is not available in the Lexus.

Thanks dpj,not the news I wanted but it is what it is I guess,although I just seen an external box on YouTube that connects to navigation and mirrors the phone but has to be wired in and I'm not sure if that would cause other issues.

from other forums i am on(toyota),the concensis is you aren't  missing much with the screen mirroring

Well that eases the blow a bit,but would be nice to have the option,I'm now looking into other options where I get full mirroring but that means wiring into the navigation but I'm sure Lexus wouldn't like that very much and might go against my warranty

I have looked into that approx 6 months in depth, the boxes that wires into the system is a wireless interface and not many people knows how to fit it in uk, in addition the amount of risk that involves as modern vehicles have advanced wirings that links to multiple ecus, it you tap into the wrong wire and it blows something, you are screwed. Lexus will tell you you warranty is voided and go on your bike, I have also asked abroad they mentioned that European and other Lexus vehicles systems or wiring maybe different so there are high risks in doing this. I have also made enquires with Lexus UK. Believe me, I have looked into this in depth but let me know if you have tried and succeed though.

Hi Crowe, I have done it and I think there is another thread from Bridgy (I think) on here who also worked it out. But there is an issue. If you take the foot brake off the screen goes blank. Not found a way around that.

I think this is available on UK vehicles, just not ones with the Premium Nav.

You could be right I have read that somewhere too,so I'm out of luck with that as I've got the premium nav.thanks

it would be fair to expect that if you have something better you should be able to do more with it.

if it where said its only available on the premium nav and not the standard nav you wouldn't be surprised

but for it to be the other way round is crazy,the designers must of had too much rice wine that night

One of the wires going into the Nav unit will be direct from the foot brake, if you figure out which one it is you can just disconnect it or put a switch in it.

Not really looked at this much. But seen a link mirroring through AV/HDMI/Chromecast. But looks like it is controlled via the phone, which I think is a little disappointing. Wouldn't it be better for it to be controlled by the Lexus unit/controls? I guess the mirroring is just a one-way street?
