This newer unit is cleaner IMO and like you id like to retain my ML with all functions. Thanks for sharing; I would be interested in it.

Agreed, GreenbowCounty.
But what I'd opt most for would be a simple Android (and/or Apple for the rest of you all) phone mirror product/software/hardware product.
Just a simple dongle or something that I can see the same thing on the dash screen as on my phone that doesn't cost hundreds of dollars and is easily reversible!
I'm thinking something cheap and simple like an OBDII dongle (I know it won't work in that socket, but something along those lines.)
For crying out loud, most all TV's can mirror a phone in a matter of seconds! What's the big techno hangup??
Don't need virtual knobs, switches and controls for all my HVAC/radio/etc... settings and a 17" screen blaring at me while driving at night.
I really don't mind the ergonomics of how it's all laid out
But my opinion is like a belly button, everyone has one and the above comment is just the belly button fuzz coming out...

Lol,
love that Apple dig there especially since I fall into that 'rest of you all' 
I would love something like that. As much as I love the GX it is a bit of a let down to see that technology between my 11 and a 19 is minimal at best. Toyota definitely subscribes to the, 'if it ain't broke camp' lol. Glad they've got Apple Carplay on a lot of Toyotas but even now and please correct me if I'm wrong somebody, but Apple Carplay is not available for the GX is it??
Lastly, @r2m please keep this on topic. No need for belly button fuzz imagery
Unfortunate this wasn't available in North America since as far back as 2010 ...Eurasian 460s had Mirrorlink and this Google Sync function

That's what I'm talking about! Wonder if it can display other APP screens, like music apps?Unfortunate this wasn't available in North America since as far back as 2010 ...Eurasian 460s had Mirrorlink and this Google Sync function
I have a 2011 Lexus GX460 with Nav. I installed a PX6 today without issue, except for that damn airbag light issue. I spent hours reading to find solutions. I could not find a photo of the “chip” installed. Only semi-confusing diagrams. I couldn’t tell which end the diagram it was showing. So I wanted to share a photo of mine after I finally got it working.
I just cut the orange and purple wires. Leave the red one connected because it supplies 12 volts. The orange and purple wires go into the empty blue wire connector. Notice that when its connected correctly, the little LEDs light up. Im going to hard wire them with some t-connectors, but this for sure fixed my airbag light from coming on. This is obviously only for the 2011 GX460. If you have a different year, you will need to connect similar wires, but not exactly like this.

Question: does your air bag light still work properly or is it disabled?
It works properly. The reason it flags an error is because on the stock radio, there is a little “passenger airbag” light that the car looks for. When it can’t detect that LED it sets off the airbag light. That little chip or dongle is just a LED that simulates the stock radios airbag LED.

So, since you've had the PX6 installed for over a year, how do you like it? I'm about done with this Grom VLine s***. I don't daily my GX and it still drives me nuts that almost every damn time I get in the truck I have to reboot the Grom unit or it will lock up and then I have to either shut off / restart the truck or I have to unplug the main power supply to the Grom unit to hard reboot it.

I suspected it doesn't like heat despite what GROM told me. It gets super hot so stuffing it behind the radio, in the center console or in the glovebox doesn't help.So, since you've had the PX6 installed for over a year, how do you like it?

I've never noticed the unit getting hot in the glove box but maybe so. I just think that a carplay solution for $500 should work properly more than 50% of the time.
