I upgraded the head unit on my 2014 LX 570… This 12.8” Android TS10 is a Huge improvement! I initially used the Hamilton kit to add Carplay to the OEM screen for about a year, but the oem touch screen responsiveness is trash compared to this new unit. Hamilton is a solid product, but this head unit brought the outdated tech of the 2014 into 2026! The AC controls work great with this unit, but I did have to upgrade my cameras to work with the unit. Before + After pics below.

This is the unit I installed:

Looking good!

When you say climate works are you also referring to the onscreen controls? The pic is from the OEM screen.
How about car settings, do they work on screen? Or do you have to use Techsteam now.
Is the dashboard clock synching with the unit?
Is the side camera working? How about the guidelines?
