Hi Herbie, I do not know the origin of the box, below is a link to the supplier in UK, who has rebadged one from China. I am tempted to go with the supplier in this thread, as the OP seems happy. Is there one you would recommend? Lexus Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto MMI Retrofit Interface ( - Bavarian Automotive (bavarian-automotive.co.uk)

Hi Shapiro, After a lot of arguments I have had the system removed and a full refund. So on to the next supplier! Paul

Hi Shapiro, The supplier has replaced the MMI box with a different one, still does not work. I am getting frustrated now!

Hi F7, As I am in the middle of a less satisfactory solution (long story for another time), can I ask what buttons on the steering wheel are functional in Android Auto? I can only skip to next track on Spotify, I still have to use the trackpad to move around with Android Auto.

Hi Shapiro, Is it possible to private message you? I do not want to publish the name on here, as we are currently working together to try and resolve the issues. Overall I have not been very happy, but do not want to burn my bridges!

Very interesting to see. I had mine installed (not from Smart) and have lots of issues. We (the supplier and I) are working through the various problems, and I hope to have some good news to report soon.

Hi HM, MMI unit ordered, awaiting delivery. I have found a local (Herts) installer, who seem to know what they are doing. I will keep this thread updated. I am amazed that no-one seems to have done this yet in the UK. My current work around, of use car's sat nav, and blue-tooth music to the car, using the phone for track listing, is primitive at best, and I cannot use my speed camera bot at the same time. Paul

Thanks Brian, Very useful, but confirms to me that I will get a "pro" in to fit. This has the look of a job that I would start, and get stuck about halfway through, with the car in bits, and undrivable!!!

Hi All, I have ordered this MMI upgrade: Lexus Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto MMI Retrofit Interface ( - Bavarian Automotive (bavarian-automotive.co.uk) I will update once I've installed.

Thanks. I hope this is useful for others when they come to sell.

Hi, Did it sell?

Hi All, I have a a 2017 LC500h. I am looking at various Android Auto upgrades, has anyone here actually installed one?

I have just purchased this one, and "properly" joined the club!

I Purchased this lovely car a few weeks ago. LC500h, only 18,000 miles. Rose Red leather interior, HUD and ML HiFi. Very pleased so far. I am looking into Android Auto solutions. Has anyone fitted an MMI interface box? Paul

Yes you can use blue-tooth for music and phone calls.
