Yeah I agree. I wonder if it would be compatible with the native infotainment system though.

The video on the product listing seems to indicate that it integrates with the factory system

Haha they literally have a video of it working on the factory system in the product listing 🤷‍♂️ But unclear how/when it actually shows over to that 360 view

You are asking a wrong person haha I was suggesting to look for a new guinea pig to test that other aftermarket setup, do not think we found any yet I got everything original installed, I do not need any of these aftermarket stuff

Guess who took one for the team... lol

No idea when I'll actually get around to attempting the install as it's cold as heck here and I have no access to a heated garage. The silver computer box at least says it's compatible with the 2nd gen NX and 6th gen RX so we'll see what happens. No instructions at all though. I'll have to message the seller.

And the price was just under $400 shipped.

Man that is a lot of wires to wire through the entire car to multiple places Make us a video or something how to get to the different places. Like for a wireless charging pad replacement, and other panels that you would be pulling out Basically how to pull this and that out..

They said they would send me instructions on Monday. If possible, I only want to use the silver computer box and use the OEM front camera. I'm not really inclined to get the whole 360 setup going. I just want the front camera view.

I also took a look at the wires and none of them match the connector on the back of the View button on the front HVAC unit, so I guess everything will have to be done through the screen.

So they sent me a PDF instruction in Chinese, but it's only taking apart the dash and screen. I tried uploading it as an attachment to the forum but it thinks it's an AI generated image with the wrong file extension.

Starting to think I flushed $400 down the drain

Pics of the control unit. Looks like the SW1 and SW2 refers to the positions of the red switches on the back. Not sure if a micro SD card is even necessary for this.
