Replace 2013 screen for a new one with Android auto
Hi everyone,
I just bought a 2013 Lexus CT200h and I want to replace the original screen with one that has Android Auto. Important detail: my car has the pop-up/flip-up screen, not the fixed one. I know this changes a lot for the dash kit and the unit that can fit.
My car has only the rear camera. I don't know much about car audio systems, so I have some questions for people who already did this:
Which double-DIN (or single-DIN) units actually fit in the pop-up screen space? I guess not every unit works here.
Any specific product you can recommend that worked well for you, with model name if possible?
Is there a dash kit made for this pop-up mechanism, or do people usually modify something?
Can I keep the rear camera working after the swap?
My car has the trackpad on the center console. Does anyone know if it's possible to keep using it with an aftermarket unit, or does it stop working after the swap?
Is this an easy DIY install, or is the wiring and the pop-up mechanism too complicated? Would you say it's better to pay a shop for this?
If you have photos, videos, or links to the exact product you used, please share! Any "watch out for this" advice is very welcome too.
Thanks a lot
