Lexus startup sounds — FAQ
Will these sounds work in my non-Lexus car?
Yes. The startup sound plays from your iPhone through CarPlay, so any car with CarPlay support gets the full Lexus-style welcome.
How long are the startup sounds?
Most clips are 3–8 seconds — long enough to set the mood, short enough to finish before you shift into drive.
Can I switch sounds whenever I want?
Yes. You can change your active startup sound in CarTheme at any time, and the new one takes effect on the next CarPlay connection.

About Lexus startup sounds
Lexus perfected a very specific kind of luxury: the kind you hear. The soft chime that greets you in an LS is closer to a Kyoto temple bell than a car alarm, and the naturally aspirated 5.0 V8 in an LC 500 is one of the last great engine soundtracks on sale. Both moods live in this collection.
Whether you want your CarPlay to greet you with takumi-grade serenity or a full-throttle F-car snarl, CarTheme has a Lexus-inspired sound for it. Each clip is tuned to play cleanly through car speakers the moment your iPhone connects, so your cabin feels a little more like Japanese luxury — even if your badge says otherwise.
Lexus is a trademark of its respective owner. CarTheme is an independent app; the sounds on this page are original, Lexus-inspired compositions and are not affiliated with or endorsed by the manufacturer.
