I think it's a hack......Kodi is used on different platforms to gain access to various web content for free.

Looks like it operates smoother than when I had my Vais Ivic 5D and my S3. It was nice when it worked right which wasn't often. And I am just not an android fan at all.

Thanks buddy. I was going to add a sub and started thinking why add to a sub-par head unit.The cost was not that much more. The SQ and features blow away the ML.

This is super awesome and I want it. But please excuse my ignorance as the video states "How to Kodi Your Lexus". But all I see a guy navigating through an already installed kodi in a lexus.


How do you get it installed?
Is there additional HD installed to source all the music and movies?
Where is the internet pulled from to run iHeart? Cell phone?


Is there a step by step instruction as to how you got this installed and working?

It is running off an Android device with a cellular connection.

So, what is this? Custom firmware loaded on the stock unit? More information would be useful.

It's Kodi on an Android phone....which means it's probably the Vaistech unit and he is mirroring his phone to the screen.
