I zoomed in a little more on the light flashing piece... if this is accurate at all looks like not compatible with GX 400 for the light flashing. I wonder if the '14+ used a BCM similar to one used in that model.

got my module in the mail today as well. Like Acrad35751, mine also flashes 10x when door is unlocked. Mine is 2018 GX luxury. It's awesome, I kinda like the added benefit. lol

I don't think I want this product.....

Mine could be from different batch from yours. I bought a while ago while I was traveling in China. Maybe that part was not programed or incorrect. But I am ok as long as the folding and windows roll up/down works.

You are welcome! I did order one extra preparing just in case..... at last minute, one member on the forum had asked me if its too late to get one. I gave him the last one. I am OK without flashing when doors are opened

I'm good with it to... my wife hasn't seen it yet :-) Not sure if she is gonna like the auto unlock... she likes to manually unlock the doors. I think the module takes precedence over the vehicle system settings.

EDIT: I could always put this on/off device in there to turn off when she drives it if it becomes an issue. It's parked in the garage at home.

Why install both? Does just one not do the trick?

So there is no way to stop the 15x hazard light flashing? If not, don't think this is a keeper for me.

Until we can get an accurate translation on instructions not sure... I think unit is hard coded though without software programming or physical dip switches on board.

That is most likely the case. According the included instruction, the only function that user CAN change is the auto locking feature after ignition is off. The default setting is disabled to prevent accidental lock out. To enable this feature, there is serious of pushing combination of door locking and start buttons.

When/how was the group buy organized? I don't check the forum daily but I never came across it. I don't want to miss out on things like this in the future....
