I did a thing. Added Carlinklife’s 12” android radio to the GX. Truthfully, I am skeptical of these types of products but after getting it dialed in and figuring out the issues, this has changed my mind...for now. The unit has been responsive and I have not yet run into any issues after successfully installing this unit. I have been fully testing this for a full week as well as taking a 4.5 hr round trip on the road and haven't had any weird bugs or crashes. I will report back in the comments if I have any issues in the future and also report back for long term use. I made an install video below that addresses those issues, please feel free to watch it and don’t forget to like and sub!

Every GX460 owner knows that Lexus has not changed the infotainment system since 2010. Since Lexus has launched the 2022 GX460 with the new infotainment system, it leaves a lot of room for desire for anyone who owns a 2021 and older GX460, especially having CarPlay. Enter CARLINKLiFE. They have made an infotainment that looks identical to the new 2022 GX460s but with the power of Android running the software. If you're familiar with Android and their software, then you're aware you can customize it to your desire and have the ability to add any app you want either from the Playstore or by simply downloading any APK file.
Yes, I'm very aware that there are many other competitors on the market but what separates CARLINKLiFE from the rest is their customer support. They have been very responsive to all my questions and concerns within a timely manner and that is huge when it comes to any product in this segment. If you're interested in this same unit, use code "EDDY50" to save some cash at the checkout.
BTW What sold me on this unit was the physical fan controls and the ability to play CarPlay using all my apps from my phone! Oh, and everything works as it should from the steering wheel controls to the parking sonars
