I know we can’t get Carplay retrofitted into the older LC500s and it is something I really miss in the car. There are now external CarPlay units available and I have bought the Road Top 8.8 inch wireless CarPlay/android auto unit from Amazon for £285. Plugs into 12v charger and you can connect audio via Bluetooth,AUX or FM transmitter. Connected mine via AUX and fed the cables behind the dash and then down the sides into the centre console. Had to buy a 12v extension cable and 5m AUX cable as the ones supplied weren’t long enough to hide them properly. Phone connects to CarPlay wirelessly when connected to Bluetooth and I can have Waze and Spotify on in split screen. Can easily be removed and hidden if you’re not parked in a secure location. Pic attached of it installed.

Sorry to revive this, but could you please post more pictures on how you hid the power cable to the left and into the glove box please?
