I'm right there with you. I had missed that this unit doesn't work with 06+ models, which I have also. Fingers crossed they eventually get it working.
I did a bit of research into the company it seems legit. Just might take a while for the software update.
Grrr. Seems I also glossed over that bit about potential issues with the 06-07. Hopefully it plays nice on a 2006 LX.
Relieved to hear it supports standard Google Play functionality for apps.
I'm super curious if it allows the use of Developer Options (for USB debugging). If anybody has one, you can find out by drilling down in settings > about device.. At the bottom locate the software "Build Number". and click on the Build # about 10 times or so. You should get prompted to allow Dev Options.
If it works, you'll see one more option in System near the bottom called Developer Options.

Like any android device, it can be rooted but they specifically state if you do, no warranty. There is a lot of developmental options once a group picks it up in the XDA community. It seems to me this company is using widely available commodity hardware and their magic is the R&D of canbus for all different types of vehicles then creating the integration into the dash. The 06+ likely has a little different canbus programming so their current software doesn't work.
What I'm referring to does not require root. No desire to unlock the bootloader or run anything other than the stock firmware from Teyes. I just went through this process on a Galaxy Tab S8 without tripping Knox or voiding the warranty and it worked out great.
The reason I ask is Dev Options could allow use of Android Debug Bridge over USB. This would open up the possibility of adding/removing apps over the command-line. If you screw something up, just factory reset to get back to the original state.
Whether it's possible or not will probably come down to the level of customization Teyes has done to android, and whether the device can be recognized by ADB or not.

My though process is if the boot loader is not locked why would they lock the Dev Options, the logic doesn't follow.
Does anyone have confirmation that this unit will not work with a 2006 LX? I have contacted the company to confirm, but I haven't heard back yet. I recently purchased the CC3 and was planning to install it in my 06 LX, but waiting to hear back before I start.
So crazy. For some reason I thought @prospeed had an 06 and it was working fine. That and the fact that the website says “2003-2007” made me go ahead and buy it. But, @prospeed actually has an ‘04! (I think)
Hah, must have been wishful thinking. Maybe they’ve issued an update since February?? Fingers crossed.
I emailed Teyes and got a pretty quick response about the 2006 LX470 Compatibility. I'll get a pic of the back of my nav and climate boxes this weekend. If anyone has pics of their nav and climate boxes already and is curious about 06-07 compatibility you can email them your pics.
Here's the response:

Awesome news. Mine arrived today. Packaged nicely and shipped quickly. I guess I'll be diving into the installation asap!
Thanks for the follow-up!

I hope it works out for you. The guy who posted earlier in the thread posted receipts. It didnt seem like a physical connection problem but a software issue. It will be huge to get clarification.
I was told the same thing and I sent pictures to him this afternoon. I’ll let everyone know what I find out.
Fingers crossed your install goes well. Please let us know if everything is working fine on your 06.

Good luck guys!
I heard back from Teyes and the answer was "looks like you chose correctly." This answer doesn't give me a ton of confidence, but I am going to attempt it anyway.
Well, it’s not going so good.
There is a terrible, constant hiss and I can’t get to any vehicle controls. I set the canbus up the way the app tells you to, but, when I click on the car info app it says “no vehicle information.”
The volume and other steering wheel controls work. But the actual volume knob on the radio does not.
I’ve sent an inquiry to Teyes. I’m not feeling too hopeful.

If you take a look at the video linked below from a GX470 installation, he says tech support told him to set the vehicle settings back to Null, reboot, and then back to appropriate LC100 settings. GX470 Teyes Install Video
I saw that video, but missed that statement. Thanks for pointing it out. I’m having a beer with lunch. As soon as that’s done, I’ll give it a shot!
@Biga27110 - yes ‘06.
Edit/Update: struck out. Did the null setting and reboot. No change.
The good news is that it’s pretty simple to pull stuff in and out. I’ll wait to hear from the company and see what’s next.
