I will say, Android os is by far the best for this application. I use a Samsung tablet on my dash, and it's as snappy as my iPhone, with all the benefits of Android. The problem with all these units isn't Android, it's the crap hardware and the skin they put over Android to make things like the HVAC work. Android is just the open platform that gives them the freedom to muck it up with their own crap.
Ok, I don't think the lx had dual zone climate control anyway? So uhhh not sure what I expected there
Good to know. I didn't have the factory system long enough to even realize that...I installed this unit about a month after buying my LX.
Front and rear AC have separate temperature control though.
My rear AC controls are working fine. There's a separate button on the on-screen HVAC panel to turn the rear system on or off.
Same
Have an 05 LX with the ML system, following to see future updates on this.
Has anyone installed this in a truck that had a dead factory nav/radio? I'm wondering if this will remedy the problem or if the problematic components are not replaced by this unit.
My mom has an '04 that has lost nav/radio functionality, but the climate control still works. This seems like a cheaper/better option than chasing down the issues in the factory system.

I am trying to install the screen in a 2006 Land Cruiser but after installing everything and connecting all, I have sound and everything but the A/C controls don’t seem to work. Can anyone please help me with this situation?
Attached are the pictures of the installation, the canbus, the screen reference and how the A/C controls look.
Thank You for your help!

Have you gone into the settings to check the car type? @21jacob21 had a similar issue with the install in his 2004 LC and ended up fixing the problem by going into the settings and choosing the "BNR with A/C" protocol after @Wetwillie suggested it.
Tesla style head unit - has anyone seen this?
How do I turn it on with the factory head unit? I plugged the factory one back in, turned on the radio set volume around 21 or so, shut car off, and transfered everything back over. After boot up still looks the same. Amp Switch Off and can't adjust. Can I turn the 'Amp Switch' on with the OEM...

Thanks @Elle Ex for the information! Can you or @21jacob21 or @Wetwillie tell me where can I change the car type and the protocol? I don’t seem to find the settings to change them.
Thank You!
Look for an option in the Settings menu that is protected by a PIN (I don't recall what the label says and it's too late to go outside to check right now). Try using 8861, and if that doesn't work, 8879. You should be able to find the settings you're looking for in there.
The green harness in this pic is what fixed the CC for me. The vendor gave me the wrong cable originally and sent me the green harness which fixed my issue.
Hello Elle Ex and Wetwillie,
I did what Elle Ex told me in the settings and protocol and know I can see how the A/C was left before installing the tesla style screen but cannot control anything (attached are the images).
Wetwillie you think what I need is the green premium harness? Does it have to be sent from China or is there someone in the USA who has it?
Thank You Ellie Ex and Wetwillie for your help!
I have a 2003 Land Cruiser. The green harness fixed the CC issue for me. It seems newer models were plug and play.
I would try to get the green harness from the vendor that you bought the radio from.

Are these radios being ordered from alibaba or rhinoradios or somewhere else?

question: mine is the original quad core /2gb unit and its all functioning but my AC is in celcius. if i switch it to Farenheit in the settings it just changes the C to the F and doesnt actually change the calculation. is there something im missing? i appreciate it.
I just installed this in my GX 470 and dual is working.
I installed the px6 in my GX 470 this past weekend. I am pleasantly surprised, overall it exceeds my expectations.
- With the brightness all the way up, I can see the screen fairly well during midday.
- Car Auto as they call it works fairly well, sometimes takes a bit for Android Auto to start up. Car Play is seemingly faster.
- BT audio and phone seem to work well. My unit came with an external mic.
- GPS is working fine even though the antenna is not mounted yet.
Some issues:
- The main issue is that I hear distortion and clipping in the audio when I go past volume 24.
- Long press on the info screen is supposed to go into more settings, but on my unit it does nothing.
If you have ideas about my issues, I eagerly await your feedback.
CarToys in Boulder has offered to pull the ML amp and install all new wiring and speakers for about $1100, this would include a dash pack amp from Alpine.
