Hi @woody I'd also appreciate upload perms for the resources section if possible. I have updated the 2006 LX470 FSM's that @Malleus kindly uploaded. I used some linux utilities (pdfgrep and pdftk) to search, extract and update the PDF's with the full bookmarks. Makes it way easier to find...

@BenM - as others have mentioned, it boils down to the chemistry of your new battery. The stock battery is a bog standard, Lead Acid battery. Your X2 _might_ be an AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) battery, but you'll want to investigate to confirm. Ideally an AGM battery should be charged with...

I have not tried Android auto yet. Will sometimes use my phone as a wifi hotspot, but I run the apps directly on the CC3. Are you trying AA wired, or wireless? From what I've read it may be wired only.

Ditto, would definitely do it again. It's a transformative upgrade which brings the headunit/nav in to the modern age. Installed in my 06 LX around 2 years ago and it's working nicely. You should definitely be prepared for some tinkering/updates initially, but it's likely to work well with...

Volume knob works great on 2006 LX Gaia GPS is a must have in my book. PRO - Super customizable offline maps. Multiple overlaid map layers (satellite, cell reception, forecasts, the incredible GAIA overland one, etc, etc) at whichever resolution level you choose. Routes, waypoints, pictures...

Nope, that should do the trick. Just need to tick those 'display button' and 'start automatically' options. Suggest you try clicking on that round icon near the top of the screen. Hopefully it switches to a snowflake and kicks over to your climate controls and you can adjust fan speed, etc...

Several years. It came with my rig and worked flawlessly when I removed it. Decided to go with a different stereo setup.

How well it works seems to be heavily dependent by your specific make and model year. I own the pre-2k version with a 06 LX and it sounds noticeably better than the OEM stereo unit. Otherwise there may be some quirks which you may (or not) overcome. @Nori470 You could temporarily reconnect...

Bump. Price drop to $100 shipped.

Up for sale is a used USA Spec BT45-TOY Bluetooth adapter. These are a good option for adding Bluetooth to your rig with minimal hassle. Note - the 3.5mm microphone/cable is not included, but those are readily available for less than $10. Previously used in a 2006 LX470, but check the USA Spec...

I have one for sale, minus the easily replacable microphone cable. Shoot me a message if interested.

Super pleased I went with the bolt-on rails which were offered. It totally eliminated any shifting of the drawers and seems like a great way to secure. Only downside would be if you frequently remove/reattach the drawers. Seems very DIY-friendly to recreate as well. A pair of 3-4" wide...

Yep, no noticeable stutter or lag. Quick app switching and hasn't felt RAM constrained at any point. Gaia GPS is my absolute favorite app and I've had no issue with zooming, viewing terrain in 3d, etc. I doubt you'd notice any difference between the models.

I went with the 32GB version and have no regrets. The USB connectors are routed to the glovebox which is connected to a large capacity USB flash drive. Offline map data is stored on the Teyes, and all music files are on the flash drive. Another nice bonus is file transfers are way easier...

You may want to grab some posi-taps. They're well designed and reusable. Just be sure to get the right wire gauge.
