Upgraded Head Unit installation done! (DIY)

[Cezar B]

Hi, guys. Today I installed an Android Head unit in my Lexus RCF. It wasn’t easy, but all’s well after 6 hours of work. Everything works well. It’s the latest version Android 9.0 with 4GB RAM and a 64 GB hard disk.

Is it touch screen and can you still access the Lexus controls as they were?

@The Bodyman, yes, it is touch screen and Lexus controls work as well, including trackpad. You can also connect and external Bluetooth computer mouse to the system, I tried it and it works pretty well.

Looks amazing Cezar, I will to have to wait for more certain times, but it is definitely something I am interested in doing. 

Not sure Lexus finance would appreciate the upgrade to their car however in my case 😛

[Cezar B]

It shouldn’t bother them, @V8ORBUST

Only the screen it’s getting changed, everything else stays with the car (the Mark&Levinson system, satnav, etc). You can swirch to the OEM factory system in parallel at a touch of a button

To be fair, I'm paying to keep the car outright anyway, so hopefully it doesn't matter what they think 😄

Once I know more about my job, this upgrade will be on my radar, so your experiences and thoughts are much appreciated!

It will bring the car right upto date imho 

[Cezar B]

@V8ORBUST those are exactly my thoughts too! I am keeping the car so it doesn’t matter what I do to it. Feel free to contact my any time if you have any queries. I will gladly help with everything I can.

I've been interested in this for awhile but worried about the software playing up.

Great work

How is the music performance etc?

Hi @Comedian

Music performance the same, it’s only a screen swap with an Android Operating System working in parallel with the OEM Mark and Levinson.

This looks awesome!

I am in the market for ISF or RCF and this alone pulls me towards RCF....much better look - staying up to date 🙂
