Don’t let the trolls on FB get you down. I preordered for LC this morning without hesitation.

My favorite thus far is the guy who insists you'd be way better off selling them for $500 because "you'd sell so many more of them".

BRB, gonna go buy a LX700h for less than half price. "you'd sell so many more of them if you priced them as cheap as a corolla!" will be my strategy - I'm sure Lexus doesn't have any idea how much it actually costs to make their products either. 🤣

Anyways...

I've been loving the user experience! Really finishes off the 100 series.

These folks should compare this to the cost and time of tracking down the OEM pieces.

I saw the reservation was open and immediately put down the money because the knowledge, work, and time that have been put into this are worth it(not to mention, beyond my skills).

People spend thousands of dollars on way less useful things in my opinion (front rear bumpers/ led lights/ roof racks) and dont bat an eye, Dude posts a unique solution to a problem that hasnt been solved in 2 decades and people lose their minds.
 
Can we get a pic of what the display looks like at night? I think I remember it being said somewhere that it's dimmable but would love to see how dim it goes, especially if it'll be facing upwards at an angle
 
Have a new firmware revision that is specifically related to improving the dimmer function, it was good before, it will be perfect after the new update. Will upload in the next week or so once it’s back in the development LX.

I have acquired all of the OEM parts to convert my late 2005 built(but 2006 model) LC. Only part that was difficult for me to find was the AC Amp. I found it on toyotadxb(ordered Nov 2023, $536.84 shipped Feb 2024). Everything else was easy to find on IMPEX and similar sites. This was also about three years ago when the USD was strong and before the additional tariffs.

I think that I ended up around $1,500ish total.

I spent like $850 on 2 lights for my ARB bumper…..I’ve used them like 5 times in 4 years. Would have much rather put the money towards this lol
 
I have all the parts for my 2004 Land Cruiser to convert to non nav with oem parts . But no one makes wiring harness and my time is limited . I may just go this route if well documented / supported . Would be nice if you had harness doe oem conversion .. i suspect your jbl integration to another head unit would work . Only reason I have not pre ordered is I am half way with oem .. will all parts on deck . Price of parts very similar
 
I think it is priced appropriately and most of the people complaining probably wouldn't be buying one regardless of the cost. I put my pre-order in without hesitation. I can only imagine the amount of man-hours Anarchy and LJE have invested in this so far, plus the costs to get this point.

I do agree with the FB comment that I saw that offering a single/double-din bezel, mounting hardware, and harness would be a good idea. At an additional cost, of course. The HVAC controller is definitely going to create a need for that, and I'm not aware of any existing solution for the '03+ models.
