Just finished fitting this 16" Tesla style screen to my 2008 LC200 Sahara. I've put together a video on fitting the unit as they often don't come with install instructions. Very happy with outcome and happy that it integrates Air Con, Rev Cam and Sahara Amp. Bought from Smithnjones who were very helpful. Here is the install and review video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfvtvfsULg8&t=91s

It's amazing to me that Tesla has had this since 2013 and only FCA and the aftermarket has really copied it.
 
I really want to do this to my NA US 2008 - but don't want to be the 1st to try it. This looks like such a fantastic upgrade and the price is dumbfoundingly cheap to me: 12.1 inch Head Unit to suit Toyota LANDCRUISER 200 series GX, GXL, VX2007-2012*

Got to be about zero chance that'd work on an NA 200 . . .

Speaking of Australia - what a Mecca for our beloved rides; especially in North Queensland I was amazed - seemed like every 2nd or 3rd car was a totally decked out overlanding rig, half of those with camper trailers.

You wouldn't be the first:

 
How about Volvo with the XC90? Might not be quite as large, but a similar layout and well integrated

Yeah, there are a few. I guess the Prius Prime interior copies it as well, but I don't like the interior or exterior design of that vehicle.

Of what's currently out there, I think only the new Ram does a good job of copying it.
