In this case, my video caught their attention and they started going to work on a resistor box in line with the canbus unit to fix the rear camera signal. They will send me the fix in the upcoming days. I can’t do anything until my car comes back from the body shop in a week or two. I’m already on my next mod video.

I'm never going to have to do this to my GX but I love watching your videos. I have used many of your other videos to actually do stuff on mine. Things that otherwise i would have never attempted. You are a great teacher. not just because of the detail but the organized manner in which you explain things. Honestly if someone watches one of your videos and they are even a tiny bit mechanically inclined they can do all the stuff following your instruction. I have a 2022 GX 460 and while it does have apple carplay it does NOT have wireless connect so you have to plug your phone in. Off the bat the unit you installed is better. Hard to tell from a video about the screen quality but it seemed way more responsive than the screen on the 2022. I don't know if the 2023 is better or the same as the 2022 and or if the '23 has wireless connect. Thank you!!!!

i covered the camera issue more than 800 or 801 (i lost count) times in replying to the comments. I have a base model which means i don't have the luxury of a front camera, side camera, glove compartment camera, cargo area jacuzzi, second story balcony view, etc...I have issues with the rear camera because of the canbus connection. I have reached out to the supplier. Carlinklife sent out a fix (a canbus module adapter) that i will be showing in my update video soon. My truck is in the shop doing its next mod for the next video. I will do a camera demonstration with the "fix" and also answer some other questions in the comments section that i was not able to get to until i get my truck back.

Hi Bob, first of all thanks for all the gx related vedios you have helped me out tremendously. I have purchased the new unit and had few questions regarding the installation: 1- Can we utilize the existing microphone instead of installing the one that came with the kit. 2- Could you please tell me where did you placed the GPS and the antenna units, do they need to be exposed or we can hide them inside the dashboard. Also unrelated question, I purchased my gx in 2019 sight unseen because I got a great discount on it and it is the base model. The car did not come with headed and ventilated seats, I was wondering if purchasing an OEM parts and installing them is even possible. Please advise. Respect and thanks in advance.

Hey sorry for the late reply. I was not able to test out this question for you as my truck is in the shop at the moment. The GPS/antenna units are at my passenger A pillar but it doesn't matter if they are exposed or not. The technology doesn't require you to have it exposed. As far at the heated ventilated seats go, i hear people complaining about the strength of the fans coming out of the seats and may not be worth throwing money at it to have it installed.

3 issues. 1. External mic!? (You don’t use the oem mic? The cheap external one sounds bad and has no sound isolation) 2. How bad is that glossy screen glair? Is it washed out in normal sunlight? 3. Does the screen have auto brightness? Does it dim at night and does it get brighter in direct sunlight? Bonus question: can all temp indicators be switched to Fahrenheit? This includes outside temp in top left and ac temp readout. Background info: I’ve had two of these types of screens in the past along w/ add on boxes like vline and they all have similar drawbacks (they suck). Just want to know if this unit is actually worth the money. -Thanks

Can this be a fix for those with the issue of the system randomly resetting, blacking out or not booting up at all? After doing a lot of research, some say it’s an issue with the logic board inside the lower unit which I assume controls the entire system, the bottom unit and top unit that you are replacing. Can ANYONE shed some light on this issue. Only fixes known are buying a used logic board ($600), sending it in for repair (around $900-$1000) or buying a whole new unit ($2500+) or just sit in silence. If this can bypass that issue, I will definitely buy it. Seeing that the mode feasible option would be to buy a used logic board, I feel that it still leaves the possibility up in the air for the issue to happen all over again.
