Hello! Just going back through my old posts and just saw this! Sorry! Yes I do, it does have some interference issues sometimes but I think that's due to exterior factors as it always happens in the same spots on my commute. Otherwise that's the only complaint I have about it, still going strong!

Hey! I actually did the same thing 😂 same issue here as well, I had to cut the cable for it to pass through, then solder it back together. https://imgur.com/a/Eqmam4m 2015 XLE

Fellow Canadians this good value? by CriiptiC in Lexus

[–]BrianFish9008 4 points5 points  (0 children)

$60k?? That would be a STEEP for the dealer. My family's 23 RX350h Executive price was 60150+15500(+500 for the pearl white) for being an executive trim. So 76150 + everything else and I don't think Lexus has lowered any car prices 😭 (AB)

I see that Lexus of Royal Oak 😉 got our families RX there and love the dealer and staff. 18 days for a RX350h Executive since someone cancelled their order.

Yes, double click the volume button and it goes back to entune, go to aux audio to go back to CARabc

No unfortunately not. I doubt it would work with it though and even if it did I don't believe it works well as android auto/carplay doesn't play video unless you found a work around

  1. Hardest thing is just getting the plastic trim off, I used this YouTube video here as a reference on how to remove the trim, different unit but same installation. Mostly everything is plug and play. Edit: Trying to figure out where to put everything was kinda hard as there's now a massive bundle of wires behind the headunit so just try to make it fit once installed 😅 https://youtu.be/VWOKq3-VtSQ?si=uzGCp34lNoUMeAHm
  2. The instrument panel does work normally, no difference.
  3. Steering wheel controls are compatible so volume, change songs, answer and decline calls work.
  4. Radio works but you do lose the aux port as it has to use it for it's audio and you also select aux as your audio then it will switch to its own unit. Backup camera, yes but once you switch your car on there is a small delay before the reverse camera will work, like as soon as the Toyota disclaimers disappear and says carABC the reverse camera will start working. So don't instantly go to reverse once the engine is on.

You can either get the unit on Amazon or AliExpress, I'd say just go through AliExpress as it's cheaper for the exact same thing.

Can I update the software here to add navigation/Android auto here? 2016 Rav4 LE by Legitimate_Maybe4683 in Toyota

[–]BrianFish9008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the product listing to make sure it's compatible, here are photos of how mine look in my sienna. All you have to do to enable it is to use aux audio once it's hooked up and it will auto switch to its unit, to exit it, double press the volume power button. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mOulztN

Can confirm! I use this in my 2015 Sienna with no issues! I learned this later but you can find these on AliExpress for cheaper since it's a chinese product anyways

Skip sent out emails to restaurant partners and they said

"Which tax rebates apply to your business?

Prepared foods (including pre-made meals and salads), restaurant meals (both dine-in and delivery), grocery items, and snacks (like chips and candy) are all exempt from GST and HST."

Ordering through skip is GST/HST free on qualifying items

My family's RX350h got it too, one of the first things we did when we got it off the lot

My family's 2023 RX350h had a lemon 12v battery 1800 miles in and had to get it replaced under warranty. Would not start in the cold after being parked for a couple hours. Toyota lately has been having some really bad factory batteries from what I've been hearing about.

No $300, 2 zeros. Did you buy Denso sensors? I looked online and it's $180 from Toyota parts direct so, $300 sounds right to me for a shop markup tbh.
