Had a look at that listing,
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F323733173891
says it's for the 2006-2008 year model. I've got a 2004 LS430. Any idea if that'll work for mine?

I was gonna go with Grom Audio
Initially this basic Bluetooth Kit

But started looking at their their full 'V Line' system which just uses the existing monitor but uses a new Android system
https://gromaudio.com/store/vline/le...n-upgrade.html
Specific to my LS period of 2004-2006

but they do systems for other years listed here if anyone's interested
https://gromaudio.com/store/vline/index.html

I like the idea of a high resolution all new touch screen but it's hard to argue with the simplicity of the Grom system as it's simple to install and everything else stays 'stock' as it were.

Wow, if that works as well as it should/could then it makes me wish I bought a 430 with nav. I specifically sought a non nav model so I could add an attractive Carplay screen, but this looks even better

Looks sweet hopefully it is what they say it is ...as this will be the solution that many of us have been looking

​it should be noted that 01-03 LS430 has three or four connectors go into the navi screen
as opposed to 04 - 06 which have a single connector going to the navi screen

I guess that's why they custom built this one for you?

Please keep us posted

I was told a separate camera for rear view had to be purchased. I was able to have them throw one in for the deal for my unit.

reply from the rep about whether the stock camera works with the new head unit or not:

The original car rear view can not be supported, because the original car's camera is old-fashioned and cannot be supported on Android machines.

So we will give you 2PCS free HD rear camera.
