Air Conditioning App Won't Work with Android Head Unit
Hi All. I'm new here, so I thought I'd introduce myself. I bought an Android Head Unit for my 2002 LS430. I can't get the air conditioning app to work. Everything else works perfectly. Previously I bought one from AliExpress and I didn't care for it. It has this little guy in there that you have to move around. And anyway, I find this one that I purchased to be a much more hands on and straightforward with great graphics.

I've heard that there something you shouldn't plug in and the air app will work. Has anyone had this issue and found a solution? I look forward to hearing from you guys.

I appreciate your response. Yes I have worked with the canbus quite a bit without success. I love everything else about this. The air conditioner and heater still work I just can't see what the temperature is.

Video Wiring the Rear Back Up Camera?
I have purchased the Android head unit for my 02 LS430 and I'm wondering if anyone has a video of someone wiring their unit to the backup camera and installing it. If there is one I'd love to see it would appreciate you attaching it and thank you very much in advance.

I can't see temp on mine either but I have full functions in AC app like swing defrost auto fan etc. Do you have that?

Make sure connected to internet when going through canbus. Mine downloaded with each choice with different AC app. Your 2002 is like my 2001. Do not hook up OBDII connector. For test from unit to car only have the Y connector connected and make sure original small connector is connected behind cd unit

Could you explain a bit more about "Do not hook up OBDII connector. For test from unit to car only have the Y connector connected and make sure original small connector is connected behind cd unit." Not sure what the OBDII & Y connector are. So I should plug the original small connector into the CD and not run it though the bundle wires that came with the Android Head Unit and then connect it?

Hooked it up that way but still no go. The air and heater work fine I just can't see temperature. I've put it all back together so live with it for now. I appreciate your help and suggestions .

Dont wanna create a parts cannon but there is a unit out there that shows the temp on the left side - I am going to try and find the link to yours on the site just to reference it. Wish ali had more customer reviews. It would be great if you get this sorted out. This seems to be the weakest link when replacing the OEM Nav with these aftermarkets. I am still working a lot of other issues with my hooptie but will eventually get to the sound - I pulled the left door panel and the ML speakers are missing - more fun - goodluck and keep posting - If I can find that other link that got the temp sorted out I will post. It may be a different unit. This Kunfine you have shows up on Amazon
