No it works great, but I haven't checked in full screen mode yet. Will try and do it tomorrow.

Hi All - Okay a few updates:

1) 7.1 Update - Android side is quicker/more responsive so far
2) MCU Update - Car now boots up like it was completely off every time. Installed MCU after 7.1 update can confirm the backup camera (full screen) was working fine after 7.1, now all jacked up in full screen after MCU update, regular mode works fine. The unit not turning completely off seems to only affect those with native navigation (jog controller) which is why Flash5 has never run into this issue.

Any questions let me know.

Sweet. Great info! The engineer sent me an updated MCU file last night to correct the backup cam. Not home until this weekend to test but I'll send it off to you to try.

Can anyone post an updated review of this system...?? I am DYING to pull the trigger as I am a techy and just underwhelmed by the large bezel screen currently on my IS.

That looks frickin awesome man!!! Can't wait to update mine.

Could you do me a favour and post your Autokit and dongle/box firmware versions? Actually, *****, I posted a pic of mine a little back in this thread. Duh.

Let me know if you are at the same version as mine.

FYI for others. My vehicle is the 2016 IS350 AWD non f-sport with factory navigation and jog control. As MD3 pointed out it looks like this problem affects folks with navigation/jog control. This MCU file is specific to this model/version of the IS. If you don't have this model IS and are experiencing these same issues I would contact Ray at 4x4shop.

Cheers!

Confirmed we are running the same Carplay versions for both dongle and app and it's working great (I use Carplay several times a day). No i'll effects so far from the latest MCU, all seems good to go.

I'm gonna reach out to ray as my car is a 200t fsport without navigation and has the **** control. The mcu file for navigation/ jog control seemed to work fine for me.

No and no, minor gripes for me as I use Carplay most the time. Anyone find a way to keep the clock on the right time?

I have contacted Ray to see if we are ever going to get the English unit update.

Does 4x4shop carry this unit anymore? I don't see it on their website.
