Android screen upgrade - Lexus LX570 2016-2021

12.3-inch Android Screen for Lexus LX570 2016-2021 (GMV3617)

The LX570 is a heavy, quiet, beautifully built truck, and the hardware in its dash belongs to another era. Our GMV3617 swaps the factory display for a 12.3-inch Android 13 unit, leaves the analogue clock and the climate panel exactly where they are, and puts navigation, media, phone and a live dash readout on one wide sheet of glass.

Fitment and model years

The GMV3617 is built for the Lexus LX570, model years 2016 through 2021. That's the range we publish, and it's the range our own install photos come from. Outside that window, write to us before you order rather than after.

Check two things on your truck: whether it left the factory with a navigation display or the audio-only head unit, and whether it carries the premium amplifier. Send us the model year, the VIN and a photo of your dash, and we'll confirm the version before shipping.

We also build the same 12.3-inch screen as a Linux system, model LML3617, for owners who prefer a simpler, fixed layout.

Confirmed fitment. Send us your model year and VIN and we verify the version before shipping.

Before and after

On the LX570 the display sits above the centre vents, and the clock, the climate panel and the audio controls are stacked directly underneath it. Look closely at our install photos and you'll see that nothing below that line moves: the clock is still the factory clock, and the climate buttons are still the factory climate buttons.

What changes is the glass, and everything behind it. Instead of a slow, menu-driven factory screen you get a 12.3-inch widescreen that boots into Android 13, remembers where you were, and shows a navigation map at a size you can read at a glance while the truck is moving.

How the GMV3617 compares

You have three realistic routes: keep the factory head and live with it, buy a generic 12.3-inch shell from a marketplace listing and hope the harness matches what's behind your dash, or buy the version that's built for this chassis by the people who make it.

Pulling a Lexus dash twice is the annoying part of this job.

Key features

A 12.3-inch widescreen

Wide enough for a full map with room left over for the widgets you actually glance at.

Android 13, 4GB + 64GB

The GMV platform runs Android 13 with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage for apps and offline maps.

A home screen built around five jobs

Original, Navigation, Media, Phone and Apps sit one tap from the first screen. No digging.

Live dash readouts

Mileage guides, outside temperature and parking brake status render on the display itself.

What do owners complain about most on the factory setup? Not the build quality, and not the leather. It's the response time, plus a map that looks a decade old.

05

Display themes and interface modes

The interface has two faces, and you switch between them by tapping. The launcher mode puts Original, Navigation, Media and Phone along the top row and Apps, AutoLink, Dashboard and Setting along the bottom, with an analogue clock widget and a dash panel on the right side of the glass.

The second face is the driving view: a full-width virtual cluster with a speedometer dial, a tachometer dial and a digital readout between them, and it's the mode I'd leave on for long motorway runs because your eye doesn't have to hunt for the number.

Don't expect hundreds of skins. What you'll get is a launcher and a cluster view that fit a truck this size and stay readable in daylight.

Optional add-ons and vehicle-dependent functions

We stock the pieces that usually go in during the same visit, so you're not ordering twice from two places.

Add-ons we list alongside the GMV3617. Availability and suitability are confirmed when you order.
Add-onWhat it adds
DAB+ antenna with USB adapterDigital radio reception for markets that broadcast it
USB dash camera with ADAS and SD cardFront-facing recording with an on-screen warning layer
Bluetooth OBD scannerLive vehicle data on the screen through an Android app
USB TPMS kit, four sensorsTyre pressure readouts alongside the dash widgets
AHD rear view cameraA sharper reversing image than a composite camera
360-degree surround view systemFront, rear and both side views on the widescreen
Panel removal tool kitThe plastic pry tools that keep a Lexus dash unmarked

Some functions depend on your truck, not on the screen: the premium amplifier, the steering wheel buttons and any factory camera already in the dash. Tell us what your LX570 has and we'll walk you through it, because guessing here is how people end up with a quiet stereo and a warning light.

Support and ordering

Need a wiring reference, a fitting sequence or a second opinion on which version your truck takes? Send the model year, the VIN and a photo of your dash, and we'll answer with a version number rather than a maybe.

Frequently asked questions

01Which LX570 model years does the screen cover?

The GMV3617 covers the Lexus LX570 from 2016 to 2021. Outside that range, message us with your model year and VIN and we'll tell you what we have rather than sell you a guess.

02Will I lose the factory clock and the climate panel?

No. Our install photos show the 12.3-inch screen fitted with the analogue clock, the climate panel and the audio controls still in their original places underneath it.

03What runs the system?

The GMV platform: Android 13 with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. That's the configuration our platform introduction page documents for this series.

04Can I use Apple CarPlay with my iPhone?

This unit is sold as a CarPlay player, and the phone side runs through the AutoLink screen, which is what our Bluetooth pairing shot shows. Tell us which iPhone you're on and which LX570 build you have, and we'll confirm the connection method before shipping.

05Can the screen show my mileage and outside temperature?

Yes. The dashboard widget on the launcher renders cruising mileage, total mileage, outside temperature and parking brake status, and the cluster view adds a speedometer and tachometer dial.

06What's different about the cheaper 12.3-inch screens online?

Usually the documentation, and then the wiring. A listing that doesn't name its Android version, its memory or the trim levels it covers leaves you to find out the hard way. Our column in the table above lists what we publish.

07Can I add cameras and a DAB radio at the same time?

Yes. We list a DAB+ antenna, a USB dash camera, a rear view camera, a 360-degree surround view system, a TPMS kit and an OBD scanner as add-ons. Send us your configuration and we'll confirm what suits your build.
