So far Carplay installed in my 2017 Mini Clubman has worked great. there are some hiccups here and there but i'm still learning the ins and outs as well. I recommend this if you want Carplay in an older car that didn't come with it!
2019 Lexus IS300 F-Sport 10,25 inch screen
The Lexus kit makes available of 2 two LVDS cables (rectangle and small square connector heads), the small square fit to my screen (the first one received did not fit, I claimed and RoadTop has sent immediately the right one, took time and paid 2x installation; I would suggest to check the connector form at the back of the screen and confirm immediately LVDS connector form to Roadtop using order number as référence).
The delivery was with DHL, when shipment email is confirmed by Roadtop, it took 4 days from China to Canada. No issue with 2 shipments.
Someone has mentionned: Avoid connecting all wires to the decoder immediately; they are tough to disconnect later, and you may need to fit them into tight spaces. It is true.
I suggest to read and understand clearly both manuals before installation.
I did not use the two specific wires, labeled 'joystick extension cable' and 'screen power cable, neither the audio connection to OEM Aux Port.
(I have tried to intercept by connecting the Screen Power Cable to the OEM screen, the OEM Screen went to black out. Therefore, it was disconnected and left unused)
Install everything else and conduct a test of all OEM functionnalities then Roadtop’s functionnalities.
This kit has been working great on my car and there is no issue (for
2 weekend now). Some little lag about 1sec in switching back and forth between OEM and CarPlay mode, no complain.
Does what it says on the tin and as I got it on offer for £150 uK I am well impressed takes a little time to install and had to watch a few different videos on YouTube as they all miss a few bits but for the price and speed of delivery and am extremely pleased and have already recommended
I was initially skeptical when I saw the price of the product compared to amazon but the product is perfect. I had it installed by a garage mechanic who told me that the instructions were very clear and the installation quick.
I highly recommend it.
Top customer service.

The Installing was not so hard.Plug and play. It was 2 hours. The Support is very helpful.
He quedado contento por el resultado final y por la velocidad de envio. Me quedan dos dudas, si hay 2 iphone en el coche cual tiene prioridad en conectar? como se actualiza el software. Recomendado.
Porshe Cayenne 2013. Everything works perfectly.
I ordered the 10.25" Android screen for my vehicle and feel like it's a great size with plenty of pixels to show maps, music, and movies. I'm glad I took the time to install this and would recommend for anyone wanting to upgrade their ride. The installation wasn't for the faint of heart especially when it comes to routing cables and running an aux line from under the armrest; however, there were tons of YouTube videos and good support from RoadTop via What'sApp which helped close the gaps.
No adjustments necessary, oem-like fitment. Functions beautifully. Airplay mirroring works if you follow the directions. 12.1” in 2013 X3 F25 35i. Great upgrade. Thanks.
I needed Android Auto in my 2019 BMW i3S, UK Right Hand Drive. Relatively straightforward to install, albeit needed support to change some DIP switch settings. Now working seamlessly and flawlessly. As good as the inbuilt Android Auto in my other BMW. Really nice piece of kit, prompt support, and quick delivery. Highly recommended
Just installed the RoadTop box in my BMW F11 2011. Easy to install, just connect the I-drive split cable an the two optical cables. The box is small and fits next to the Navigation-Dispaly. Android Auto woks perfectly and is integrated into the OEM system. Looks great and works really smooth. I love the google voice control. One think would be more than great to have. IT would be great to see the navigation details like arrows and crossing also in the OEM Head-Up Display. This would put this system to the next level.
Instructions for the GS series need a bit of additional detail since 2012-2015 have a permanently split 12" screen display where navigation always can't fill the whole screen and other info is displayed on the right side, while 2016-2019 models have the navigation screen fill the 12" screen. As a result, instructions should be updated to reflect the model years 2012-2015 which must select 7" or 8" screen size in dip switch settings, vs the 2016-2019 which can select the 12.3" size dip switch settings. With current instructions since my model is 2013 and i selected the 12.3" settings as suggested in the instructions, the carplay interface is cut-off by the OEM right-side display. Other than that the installation is relatively simple if you have the right tools and watch other folks disassembly procedures on Youtube for the head unit and display. Everything works as expected, except the joystick control is all over the place in the Carplay window area, clearly not easy/designed to work with the OEM joystick. However with some care it does work, and it's best to use Google Assistant for voice control in getting directions, or playing music etc - rather than enter them. The vendor should post the FW updates for the boxes in the portal, currently you can only get them by contacting in whatsup
Installation was a bit tricky as all the wires are hard to fit behind the radio but apple carplay itself works super well. Fast between switching apps etc.
Overall the functionality of the product is great. This would be a 5 star review but the unit I received didn’t contain the latest instructions and I spent 3-4 hours extra troubleshooting to no avail. Additionally, It took some time to determine how to contact the company (Use the chat feature on their main website which was responded to within ~6-8 hours during their work hours in Asia). The company provided me a link to an updated install manual which had additional Dip settings for my Bosch head unit not in the manual that came in the box. This should have been available on their website or they should have provided an insert with the latest changes. Easy fixes and would have prevented any reason to need a support request.
This is a really good option for folks who do not have Carplay. It works well and is relatively straightforward to install.
very satisfied
I am really enjoying the product. The screen is perfect and even though it took some time to install by myself, my only criticism is to have better instructions. There is no instructional video for my year, make and model of my Mercedes.
All factory buttons work perfectly and interface great with the Road Top unit.
Fast delivery 👍
Fit good on my motorbike and it work great together with phone and helmet.
Recommend this device.
Fair price, very fast delivery and quick response from technical support. The device is working smooth without any lags. A good way to refresh your car old multimedia.
I suggest this adapter without any doubt!
It works perfectly!!
I was looking for a thing like that, and than friend of mine told me to try, that thing is incredibly good!
Working perfect on Mini F56,quick and Without any freezing, installation was easy with YouTube reviews additionally if you need.
And delivery was so fast ! 4 days only 💪.
Thanks a lot!
So highly recommend!
