Is there anyone in Toronto with a Navi/Joystick equipped IS that can spend a couple hours testing this in their shop?

Also, he said he'd be willing to do a group buy if we get 5 or more. He said they can include the CarPlay dongle for FREE ($100-150 savings). Please please...let's do this.


If you're interested in helping, please call Fred at 4x4:

Dont suggest trying. Wiring connections behind the Stereo of Non-Navi Vs Navi is completely different. Not much is shared back there. If anybody attempts to they will find they cannot plug in anything almost that is part of this interface module kit being discussed in this thread.

Damn...well the group buy is still valid for non-navi users if they're interested.

Great review. I find it odd that your clock doesn't keep the time, mine has been fine keeping time.

Really, what r u settings under clock, hey one more thing i noticed today, if u are in the android interface and have the ac on and its on Auto, every time the fan speed changes the ac indicator comes on. Can u test this and see if urs does this.

Thanks for the review - looks great...annoyances seem trivial compared to the visual/functional benefit.

Hey everybody, so 4x4 finally posted the unit on their website. They even included the review by Dkotoric on their website haha. https://4x4shop.ca/product/2014-2017...sb-multimedia/
I am going to start to a group buy thread for this unit as I spoke to 4x4 Shop and they said they would throw the Apple CarPlay dongle in for free as RocketG35 stated they would. They told me to give them the names of the people who sign up for the group buy. The only confusing thing is that on their website they said it is compatible with all the different selectors (****, mouse, and touchpad) which I'm sure isn't right but it says to call them to confirm whether it will work or not. Not sure, but I have the **** so not worried about it.

I spoke with them about my reverse camera cable which they shipped out today we were talking and I said I did a review on it and they asked me if they could link it on their site, so I did give them permission.

Yeah, you install it and it gives you remote start from your key fob without paying Lexus for the Enform version. That’s my understanding.
