Okay, that makes sense. Are you using it wirelessly or wired? (CarPlay)

Wirelessly. I have used it wired but I rarely plug my phone in.

Can anyone who has the unit confirm if the temp works correctly for US models (Fahrenheit instead of Celsius) and MPH instead of KPH?

Sorry I have all these questions. I'm just trying to make sure my expectations are correct with this thing.

you know, you just reminded me of another problem. The temp shown on the Lexion screen is 1 degree off of the setting on the climate control. So weird…

LOL. These things seem like they should be so easy to correct in their coding of the units. I don't understand why it's so difficult.......

Can you confirm if it shows in Fahrenheit and MPH?

Are you driving an IS or an RC, InveredMP?

I haven’t watched any of the screens that would show MPH so I can’t confirm. But it is in Fahrenheit.

If you plan to buy one get ready to wait for a long time mine still hasn't shipped for 3 weeks. He won't respond either.

That's not real promising............... I know I read on another post that if you purchased through their site using Paypal that it took Paypal 10+ days to send them the invoice/money before it even began the process so you basically lose two weeks right off it sounds like. Then with the chip shortage, everyone dying from COVID (not really), shipping delays, etc..... I figured it would be a couple of months......unfortunately. I guess that's okay for me though since I'm in Texas and maybe it'll be cooler out by the time it arrives so I'm not sweating my a$$ off when I install it, lol. (I was hoping it would ship sooner but based on what everyone else has said in the thread it sounds like it's a really REALLY slow process. Maybe like it's one guy or two guys that actually have the business instead of an actual team of peeps.)
I think my bigger concern will be the quality of the parts used and any support thereafter (which sounds nonexistent). Making me rethink my purchase......... I wonder how many sales they are losing due to lack of responsiveness on their part.

Have they sent you a tracking number or have not received anything regarding it other than they took your payment?

Just received notice it’s shipping soon so prepare to wait 3+ weeks. Very likely they were waiting for funds to clear afraid someone might hold the fund after it shipped. It’s the best unit if nothing goes wrong, a bunch of people had no problem but sometimes they sent wrong harness then customer support will be spotty at best. Fingers crossed my unit is good.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you as well. Please let me know how it goes once you get it and get it installed. (Any issues or no issues hopefully!)

I might honestly buy a 4x4 unit to try and compare. Especially if it’s ready to ship today. The tech support is so much better.


Here is the screenshot showing the temp 1 degree off:

At least it’s in F but 1degree off is weird. My unit it always shows in C no way to change and Km for speed.

Does it actually fit and use the OEM bolts along with have they corrected the items that were previously issues? Do you know by chance?
(Backup camera, temp, MPH, etc....)
I also think some of my hesitation with their screen is the fact that the back of it is a bit larger than the hole for the OEM screen so it doesn't quite fit (at least that used to be the case) and the fact that all the processing is done on the screen so there's a chance of it overheating unlike the Lexion one that moves a lot of that to the box that's separate from the screen.
