Crud. After a few days of it working mostly fine I now have a purple screen when I try to access the system. Ugh!!!!!
Crazy. While I was driving it just started to work. Would something plugged into the obd2 port cause any issues?

Youre absolutely right. The pointer is driven by what’s on the screen and drags the **** toward the buttons. The movement felt familiar when I switched to full screen map.
Keep in mind the remote is still force feedback driven from the OEM system. So it will pull/push against you in comparison to where the mouse is on the factory display. I find it works best to switch to full screen map before switching to android. Mostly wide open at that point.

Nice to hear that my post is helpful! :-)
fyi, I have to use bluetooth because my AUX won’t work. I kinda whatever when I first installed it since it works fine in bluetooth.
Last week when I finally had time to disassemble it again, I was helped by Cosmo and David (the chief engineer) to look into why my AUX doesn’t work. We spent like 2 hours trying various fixes and the AUX still can’t be activated. David got my headunit model # and lexus software version #. They are checking to see if there are certain headunit model that were not included in their software. So if your aux doesn’t work, let them know so they know where to look into.

The installation is not hard. You can check one of the video I linked in earlier reply on how to disassemble the headunit.
for the screen, you pop up the little plastic piece in front of the screen, and pop up the back cover of the screen. There are 3 bolt, 2 in front of the screen, and one in the back on the passenger side. Remove those bolt then you can pull up the screen, you will see cable behind the screen
There is a carplay dongle that plug to the box’s USB cord, then we plug the lightning cable to the dongle.
Thanks

Maybe that's it, Bearcat, what sound system do you have? Mark Levinson?

yes I have Mark Levinson. I tried to delete the Autoplay app since I thought that might be it, but can’t figure out how to format a usb drive to put it back on there. I’ve tried multiple formats and the box recognizes it but won’t open it to show the files on the drive. Annoyed.

Mine does not have the Mark Levinson sound. Can someone post or point to instructions for using the AUX input? Right now, I'm using Bluetooth and have to switch the connection on the phone every time I initiate or receive a call.
