At that price, I doubt it!

Beatsonic one is less than half that, and with added features.

I believe you need 2 components to make it work...but you can contact them to confirm.

Front camera interface: http://www.beatsonicusa.com/cameras/cs5ep.html
Front camera kit: http://www.beatsonicusa.com/cameras/bcam11.html

I changed the link above to the Lexus specific interface. The previous link was for the universal interface...which would work too, but wasn't plug and play.

Did you order the CS3 or CS5 interface? I changed the link just now. Both work, but the CS5 is plug and play...the other needs to splice some wires.

Just email them and have them switch it to the other unit. I'm sure nothing is getting processed until Tuesday.
