>>>Q1: Is this unit plug-and-play for my specific IS model year (e.g., 2014 IS350, 2017 IS200t)? Will it require cutting or modification to the dashboard?

A: Yes, our units are designed as plug-and-play for specific IS generations 3IS 2013-2019/RC 2013-2019. They come with a dedicated frame that replaces the original display panel.

A: Absolutely. The device's motherboard has a built-in CAN bus decoder, allowing for full integration with your car's system. This means:

All steering wheel controls (volume, track settings, voice commands) are fully supported.

No additional confirmation is needed; simply select the corresponding controller type based on your vehicle's original controller, as mentioned earlier.

Every time I start the car, it automatically connects to CarPlay, and through Siri, I can play music that matches my mood and check traffic conditions to my destination. Every time I go on a long trip, I feel that replacing the screen was absolutely worthwhile.
