Ok let me see if I can find it. Is it on their youtube channel?

Here it is
I called a few weeks ago and got the “it’s on a tech’s bench being worked on line.” I’m gonna try to call next week to see if should order the current kit or hold off a little longer.
Ehhhhhhh...I, honestly, think this was just a screw up on their part mislabeling the LX570 unit. This video has been out for quite some time.
Edit: Duh...realize now you were asking about the LX. But I got excited when I thought they were making these for the LC...hence my mislabeling statement. With all the stuff I have mounted on my center channel speaker, it's all a moot point now!
I think offering a LC kit is the goal; it was very briefly on their website but I think they realized there was some tech issues and had to pull it down.
Like I said, I'll try to call today/Monday and see if there's any updates to share
If you look at the video I posted, it's a prototype unit in a LC. It was posted in September but like another poster said they seem to be having issues getting it fully released.
Saw the video back in Sept. Though just noticed the Toyota emblem on the wheel.
I chocked it up to a mislabeled video (despite exterior shots) just due to it a) resembling the LX unit and b) having zero info out there on it. Nothing about it being a prototype, nothing on the site, etc. I lost interest and just bought the regular unit which, ultimately, I would've had to do anyway with my set-up. I was excited about it at first just due to it being a far more modern-functioning, and smoother screen. I went the route of the stand-alone wireless CarPlay unit installed along the top of the dash originally. That thing was buggy as hell and I dumped it for the Hamilton. Much happier despite the dated screen and the horrid glare.
Overdue follow-up. Hamilton ran into comparability issues so there’s no timetable for a LC “premium conversion” product release.
