If you do not have sound after installing the unit, you will have to go to settings in the unit and change the sound setting and it will work for your car. I found this out after I return the unit (which is a pain in the ***).

Thank you bro. Its working. We just need change to aux the CD changer and works. But now a i have the dammit error from the passenger airbag error. I see is a problem with a cable that we need found and Connect to a two resistor to fixed because the conector its not come in the screen.

*The following is based on the hardness I received. I assume it is for ML model since that is what China has.

You need to connect the rear camera cable (blue) to the included decoder (black box). It outputs signal via yellow RCA then goes to back of 12.3” screen between AC vents via a cable that has two TX/RX wires if my memory is correct.

There is no connector for the OE front camera. But mine came with a loom and 5 aftermarket cameras. I assume you need to replace factory OE camera with the aftermarket one for 360 view.

The sound should be the purple 16 pin cable that has one end to the car the other end to the radio. This cable also splits two RCA L/R connectors which goes into the screen.
Its like you say and something this resellers dont tell is after installing the screen you need atenttion to the airbag check signal to the passenger side because if you dont do a cable bypass the red light of airbag gonna be on. What you need is do a cable with 2 resistor of 10k ohms to Connect to a 12 pin cable ( this cable was the signal check of the passenger airbag and in the old radio appear " airbag off or airbag on"
After reading and asking a los People we got installing this screen and 0 error in the scan.

My appreciate after use one week is better a lsailt o beat box this screen feel cheap and consume a lot battery. Dont think llave your car in accesory with this screen you gonna drain your baterry fast.

Don't know why people waste their money on this Chinese junk when the Beatsonic unit is perfect and supported by Lexus.

Awesome video GXBob!! We are keeping my wife’s updated 2017 and this is exactly what it needs. Thanks!!

For you cell phone, use a magnetic holder. I mounted mine to the left of the shift **** and it works quite well once you have carplay on your screen.

For the US audience... I did notice a comment on Bob's Youtube video that mentions unit may only operate in Celsius
