Lexus/Toyota Factory Navigation to 10" screen upgrade

[Chin Fook Lai]

@Chin Fook La: Any chance of showing us the PDF? The 'set it to LX470 instead of LC100' was new to me.

I removed my unit (after 2 weeks test) and it's sitting on a shelve in its original packaging (here in Belgium) since mid-2018.

Hi,

Please explain what "PDF" would you like me to show? Do you have a specific problem that made you shelve the unit?

First I will apologize for the typo error - Instead of LX470, it should have read LX4700 as shown in the screen which I reload below.

In my case, my initial problem was I could not adjust the temperature of the air con - It stayed at 24 °C and I could not raise or lower the temp.
Go to the audio setting screen and set 2 areas as shown in my 2nd pic. Try changing the Car setting from LC100 to LX4700, then go back to the air con page and you will be able to raise or lower the air con temperature. The Car setting at LC100 will not work.

If you do not have a copy of the User manual or Installation video, let me know and I can upload or send them to you.

If anyone who have purchased a Canavie Tech machine and is having problems with installation or use should contact Andy of Canavie Tech in this Forum as he is a member here.

To me it looks like it is set to LC100 with the 4.7 l engine (4700 cc), not the LX470 which would be the box to the right.

@Chin Fook Lai: You write: "Andy had some sort of User Manual, but he did not give it to me until I asked", which led me to believe you obtained a document from Andy at Canavie, a document (PDF) that explained the counter-intuitive setting for the model number of the car.

My European HDJ100 is in Mexico (as part of a world-trip) and I'm stuck here in Belgium (because of some pandemic). Prior to leaving for South-America in August 2018, I took my unit out and packaged it. It's sitting here doing nothing but collecting dust.

I'd like to sell the unit (at a bargain) and any help, info, manuals and tips that could help the new owner installing it successfully is welcome.

OK I am attaching a copy of the User Manual which Canavie Andy sent to me. Hope it is useful. Hope you have a lovely time completing your long trip. Stay safe!

For a while, I followed the posts in here and before long, I ended up buying the Canavie Tech 10" unit direct from Andy of Canavie Tech. in Shenzhen, China.

Andy of Canavie Tech was very helpful throughout the whole process of installation by a local installer, he was online in Whatsapp while the job was being done.

All the time, Andy had some sort of User Manual, but he did not give it to me until I asked. (It should have come together with the machine or at least an indication where it could be downloaded!) On installation, I followed the video found on the Canavie product site in Aliexpress.com, the language used was spoken in Mandarin but the conversation in the video did not contribute much to the installation, my installer made so boo-boos but Andy was at hand to help sort out the problems.

The finished result worked very nicely for the music and android sections. The android system worked, the radio worked, and the air con section, although worked, had to be configured as LX4700 while my unit is a LC100. If I configure it as LC100, I could not raise/lower the temperature settings, small matter but irritating.

As for the Traffic info section, I would like to caution owners of cars from the UK and USA to accept that there is no Traffic Info in Miles per gallon, you have to take the garbage in Kilometres/Liters (Therefore I can say the Traffic info is of no use for cars in the UK and USA. My car was imported from UK and I now get rubbish data in km, km/lit on the screen. Andy mentioned to me that they do not have a setting where one can change from Miles/Gallon to km/Lit and they do not intend to correct that!.

So there you are! I might as well buy a unit without the traffic info and save a lot of money! (But you still need the air con section!)

Overall I am pleased with the unit's new found performance but the lack of traffic information is disappointing as I do 4X4 overland journeys regularly from Malaysia/Singapore to Vietnam, China, Laos, Thailand etc, now, the traffic info is lost!

What year is your landcruiser? Any chance you had it installed in California? Thanks
