I placed mine on the dashboard. It's the best I ever had for the GX (and I tried 5 cheap ones until this one). Worth every penny for the custom fit on the GX dash.

Oh! Different model of the 460; the console changed when they added (wired) carplay.

I see now. Yes, if I had Apple CarPlay from factory I would not need my dashboard mount.

I want to add that we also plan on keeping this vehicle and handing it off to our daughter when she turns 16 in a few years. It's solid, dependable, and safe. I added a Hamilton CarPlay/Android Auto unit to it this winter for my wife and although it still uses the original old small screen, it's infinitely better with CarPlay for radio and navigation. For me this was also a safety thing, as my wife would look down at her phone frequently to check directions and I didn't want my teenage daughter to do the same when she takes it over. $500 for a Hamilton unit and only like a 20-30 minute install. My wife is frugal and was pissed at me when I bough it (no reason to ask permission, I knew her answer would have been "hell no") but after her fist drive she was thrilled I went behind her back and made the purchase for her.


Can you link the unit you bought? Very interested in doing that for similar reasons.

Here are links to the Hamilton units.

Using the existing screen: Carplay Upgrade Kit

Converting to a larger screen similar to the '22-23 factory upgrade: Premium conversion kit[url=https://www.hamiltonmotorcompany.com/products/2014-2021-lexus-gx-apple-carplay-upgrade-kit][/url]

Yep, that's it. Their video of the install is great. I think it was only like 6-8 small bolts, and the interior panels pop out pretty easy with their supplied pry tool. It is a little tricky getting things plugged into the back of the screen, but honestly not bad.

OP - wired CarPlay was added in the 2022 year. You can get wireless adapters, of course.

Can confirm. My 2022 has wired CarPlay. Works well.
