CarPlay works in a 2020 Land Cruiser (2 Viewers)

From what I've read, you can't USB charge and static charge at the same time, unfortunately. But apparently, you can split the USB with a little pin magic.

I want this in my 2019 but I am not gonna install it myself. Where do you purchase it? I have a local audio shop that can do it.

This alternative solution from another Australian vendor claims to reuse the standard mic and also allows the use of the rear entertainment screens:

@Eric Sarjeant or others, I am curious how this one that @psnyman posted above (also one for the 18-20 LC Interface Module unit For LandCruiser 200, Car Play & GPS. Android system. July 2018 - 2020) compares to the NAVIPLUS head unit? Anyone tried or compared them both?

I wonder if you could use a Qi charger for power and a cable for the audio. Not sure if that’s possible or if Qi shuts down in the presence of the cable. I use this Pelican case/mount: Pelican iPhone 11 Pro Max Case, Protector Series – Military Grade Drop Tested, TPU, Polycarbonate Protective Case for Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max - with EMS Wireless Charging Vent Mount (Black) Amazon product ASIN B07X5Y7FGX

Do you have a link for the mounting track, which is sticking on top of the dash? It looks like a perfect solution to mount all my gear.

Here’s the link: Shop RAM® Tough-Track™ End Loading Composite | RAM® Mounts

They offer several different materials/profiles: RAM® Tough-Track™ Mounts | RAM® Mounts

I initially tried the top mount composite, but the end mount was a better choice. I used 3M VHB tape to adhere the track to the top of the nav stack.

I know my limitations. Pulling apart the dash and installing equipment like this is way behind my abilities.

Which ball size did you use for mounting the Pelican Qi charging pad?

The charging pad takes a Garmin size ball (17mm). I used a 1" to 17mm double ball to connect the pad to the Ram arm. Similar to this:

You may have mentioned this in the video, but is the carplay simply mirroring the phone and have to keep the phone running carplay - there's some systems that run that way?
I've been on NavTool's site and it seems to be operating carplay just like any aftermarket carplay head-unit would. Just confirming it's NOT a mirroring system.

Have you tried the Navtool set-up on one your 'upgraded' stereo systems in the LC200? like this Factory Subwoofer Info Guide setup

Not a mirror. It’s CarPlay
