Congrat! Looks great with the new bumper!

You should take that in to get fixed, your steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car.

Maybe that is why he wanted a picture of the buttons.

It's time for a few updated pictures.

Done:
- ARB Sahara bullbar
- Airtec snorkel
- HID spotlights
- front e-locker
- Milford cargo barrier
- Uniden UHF radio
- dual battery system
- GME UHF aerial
- TJM sump protection plate
- Mickey Thompsons ATZ 4-ribs
- Orion AVR6.1 head unit (installed, final wiring to do)

To do:
- new battery
- spare wheel carrier
- long range tank
- suspension swap/upgrade

 

[Wilsil]

Wiring nearly done, radio tested and approved.
Ipod works, radio works, DAB works.
To test: navigation, video, camera.
Don't look at the station the DAB is sitting on, I was only playing with it.
I will try to get a daytime shot.

And I have to find the illumination wire to have the buttons light up. It is a bit dark now.

Here you go: http://www.orioncaraudio.com.au/pages/1000000312_avr6.1.htm
It was AUD $699 at JBHifi a few weeks ago with their 30% discount.

A daytime shot of the unit.

Adjusting the torsion bars won't increase the spring rate only chenge the height of the vehicle.

Haven't figured out the Hema maps yet.
Wiring up wasn't a problem.
I have used the Metra 70-8112 to connect between the original Lexus 15-pin connector and the two Orion connectors.
The only thing I have now is a hum/buzz over the radio.
What I have been told is that power wire(s) is too close to the RCA(s).
I have to get the dash open again and test the unit when it is not mounted. It was a very tight fit.
Still have to find the right rear view camera.
Any idea?

 

[moooooooo]

there's a FAQ on the website and it says something about going into settings and "enabling 4WD" for the Hema maps.
Can you report back if you fix the "hum" issue? this sounds like a good unit for my LC !!

I saw that and enabled it but I haven't looked deeper into it.
I like it so far and the price was right at that time.
Will report back.

Another update.
The stereo is working great, but I think I need to look into a new DAB+ aerial.
Got the twin wheel carrier installed last Saturday.
Another item off the list.
