I say get the 4x4 one and install it. Let me know how it goes and what issues there are (quickly) so I can decide if I should go that route instead, lol!

Just a reminder 4x4 unit does not work with Joystick not that I know of, might want to check if they updated but seems like it's not easy to implement. If not, you can only use touchscreen or attach usb mouse.

Damn, I would have bought it if I had known this I assumed joystick didn't work, none of their previous gen did. 4x4 would be so much easier to install I already have the harness in my car just swap the screens.

yep you can select with or without Navi now and it. Comes with the appropriate harness. They also have an Android 11 screen releasing at the end of the month. Communication has been lightning fast. I’m very close to switching. I still have a somewhat crippled unit without being able to access the Lexus OS.

So Lexion has never responded or fixed that or you're just waiting for a new harness that is taking forever to get to you to see if that corrects the issue?

Yep, that’s correct.

Yeah I'm holding out that you'll get the 4x4shop one and get it installed so I can hear that experience vs. the Lexion unit.

What do you plan to do with Lexion unit return it? Yeah, 4x4 is incredibly fast with responses, I chatted them through their site someone always replies back. My lexion will be arriving sometime next week we'll see how it goes.

As far as I am concerned, I have a unit that doesn't function properly. So far, I haven't seen a tracking number for the wiring harness. My last communication was on Saturday.

The factory microphone works, in the settings menu you can change it, i think by default it might be set to external mic.

Saturday I was told a new harness would be delivered “next wee” but I’ve seen no tracking info. I don’t mind buying overseas products but there really needs to be US support for this. The time zone difference makes it hard, and sometimes it takes days to get a response. At least 4x4 is in Canada and it sounds like their customer support is excellent. Kinda makes me want to switch.
I have the same issue with factory menus as the track pad doesn’t seem to work at all. That’s ok because I have no need to use factory infotainment anymore. That’s the reason I bought the android unit is to have CarPlay which has all the features I use.

Sorry I have all these questions. I'm just trying to make sure my expectations are correct with this thing.
Temps work perfectly in sync with hvac display.

You are the only other person I have heard, have this issue. When did you buy yours?
