I recently bought a second-hand Nifty City Apple CarPlay kit from someone. They had it installed in a 2017 LC200, and it appears that the LVDS cable is different from the one needed for the 2021 model (which I have).
First, let me take a quick moment to express my frustration with Nifty City. They have, hands down, the most blatantly rude customer support I've ever encountered. I reached out to them, simply asking about the cable to see if I could purchase a new one. They asked for an order number, and the previous owner was kind enough to provide it. The order number was somewhat irrelevant because I was just looking for information about a new LVDS cable, not asking for a handout or a replacement. But I provided the number anyway.
Here's their reply:
"The order details do not match your name nor the year model your mentioned.
We have a 2017 Land Cruiser on the order.
It also baffles us, that you’re contact us a year and a half later.
What’s the go here? Do you want to buy the correct LVDS size? It’s 199 USD + 49 for shipping.
Let us know if you want one."
If you're considering the Nifty City kit, AVOID THEM.
That said, does anyone possibly know who their supplier is? I’ve read that this kit might be a rebranded Chinese product.
