I just got the Android version of the Hamilton carplay for my 2016 LC. I ordered the Android version after they told me it has more functionality, has the external speaker, and has an HDMI jack that allows connection to the rear screens. (The tradeoff is it's about $100 more and apparently the...

I was able to track down an OEM in my area. The total to install the OEM is $1500 vs Fuyao which is $700 to install. Is it worth the $800 extra to get oem?

Thanks for this @OGBeno. Just to make sense of this. The two parts you listed is what i would need. Can a california toyota dealer order them and install them? Or would i have an aftermarket shop order and ship to ca?

Thanks guys. @OGBeno I DMd you my VIN @W4632018 the parts department said they have access to all inventory

I need to replace a cracked windshield on my 2016 LC. I called the Toyota parts department in my area, gave them my VIN, and they told me "sorry, looks like the discontinued that windshield". I had the windshield replaced 3 years ago and used a non Toyota shop and it wasn't a good install--a lot...

Right on. I’ll give this a shot. Thanks

My 2016 has just recently started freezing intermittently. It's usually been on longer trips where all of a sudden volume control stops working and the screen freezes. It's happened with satellite radio, Bluetooth music via iPhone, and watching a dvd. Once I turn the ignition off and back on it...

Please keep me posted on how this goes. I’m due for a 70k service next month and was planning on having them look at it then—but if I can do it myself instead that would be great

Good to know. I’m at 68k.

Yikes!! Yea it’s a 2016 as well. Thanks for the heads up!

Thank you! I will mention those things when i bring it in.

Anyone have an idea of what’s causing this noise? It gets louder and higher when I hit the gas. It’s intermittent though and never happens whenever I’ve brought it in for service. If anyone recognizes it let me know so I can tell them next time I bring it in...

Thanks for the replies. Super helpful. Yes, I’m mainly on roads and snow in Tahoe as well as occasional dirt—but no hardcore off roading. And yes, vanity is a bit of a factor as my wife asked if I was ever going to get rid of the mom tires 😳. Thanks for the rec on the Toyo AtIII. I’m also...

I know this has been covered (and I can’t find the database anymore). But just curious why people recommend the 285/65/18 over the 285/60/18 for the KO2s. What is the advantage of the 65 given that the 60 is stock...as I think it changes the speedometer accuracy. Thank you!
