You helped me with setting my time. I had both of my features set to auto so I wasn’t able to set my time zone. To calibrate the pitch and roll, you need to be on a level surface. Then tap and hold onto the circle you want to calibrate. You’ll see the car adjust and move once it’s calibrated. You can do these for both circles. Hope this helps I need to learn how to download apps and figure out how to change my upload picture. I have a lambo on mine. Lol

I have a 2009 gx470 and have been looking for an upgrade with CarPlay. Couple questions can you skip song tracks using the < > buttons on the steering wheel? Or just on the touch screen. You mentioned you have auto start which I have also, were there any issues with the climate controls retaining its last used settings? Or does it reset after the car is turned off. I want to be able to still heat or cool my car using my auto start using my last heat setting before turning off the car. And last I read that the Bluetooth quality is bad was this issue fixed? Thanks for post!
@nkautos
@nkautos 3 жыл бұрын
Hello, all the steering wheel settings are retained and allow for you to skip songs or tracks. The climate control also stays at the last setting which allows you to warmup your car with your remote start. The Bluetooth can be fixed with adding a Carplay dongle or updating the firmware. I hope this helps!

Really have to emphasize the stock speakers sound way better with this head unit.

Pretty sure the speakers will carry more base than the stock sub. I dont really want an external speaker box either.

I have thought about getting a custom firmware for the radio I just haven’t gotten around to doing it.

so does the pitch roll feature and tire pressure monitoring function proprerly as of now? also wanted to ask because i saw a couple different layouts but can you customize and choose between different styles or themes? i saw the a/c and heating vent control portion setup and looking totally different was wondering if that was a firmwire upgrade or maybe as simple as changing themes on the setup page or something like that.. lastly would you recommend this unit to others looking to update their outdated headunit/hvac controls? or would it be easier and more functional keeping that stock nav hvac screen and just update the lower cassette portion using a smaller singer din head unit upgrade with bluetooth or built in carplay or something like that? or is the phoenix screen really worth it? should i do with this tesla styled unit over anything else out there? is it that good? just a couple questions i was hoping you could take the time to help me answer about this unit... thanks and have a great day stay safe and god bless, -p3t3r

Peter Piccolo Hello Peter, thank you for supporting the channel! To answer your questions, the pitch unfortunately still doesn’t work. The screen I have is the default firmware, there are users who have modified the system and updated it to different versions. These are custom and are available on a few Facebook groups. I plan to upgrade the firmware in the future. The unit is pretty solid, I would however recommend going for the one with more RAM and faster booting because it is a lot more responsive than the base model. I think it’s really good for the money and it has many options that can be customized. The positive part is that you can edit the unit however you like with a little time and a computer handy! This is something that you will not likely be able to do with any other unit. Hopefully that helped a little! If you have anymore questions Please leave a comment and I will get back to you!

The Mark Levinson speakers are awesome. You need to go into the “console” menu then “amp info” and adjust the volume there - “cur volume” It’s a different volume adjustment than the one that’s rigged up to your steering wheel / appears in the bottom right corner. I call it the “software” adjustment. I seem to get the best results by maxing this out at 60. That makes the “software” volume top out around 13/40 before it gets distorted - but this combination is comparable to the cd quality audio from the oem unit at max volume - which is very loud, has no distortion, and has banging bass.

Hi - Does this Phoenix radio work with any other amp for the GX470 besides the Mark Levinson amp that comes with the SUV? My ML amp is shot and would rather buy a different amp rather than spend $400 to get the ML amp fixed. If you could suggest other amps that works with this Phoenix amp that I can use with GX470 I would appreciate it. I'm ok to change out the speakers as well but would not want to change out the entire wiring system. Thanks

It shouldn't be a problem with an aftermarket AMP. I would recommend a kicker AMP, or something with good ratings off of Critchfield's website.

All seems very smooth now compared to what I have been seeing on these reviews. It also includes day and night brightness presets.

Hi. I just bought a PX6 for my 2007 GX470. I have the head unit disassembled & out now. Will be installing the PX6 in the morning. Thanks for all the tips! I noticed that you've swapped out the cigarette lighter for a USB port. Is there a release point to get the lighter out of the moulding. I have the wires disconnected but am having some difficulty getting it to come out. I don't want to break the housing. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Shawn

Hello, I am sorry for the late reply. I replaced my cigarette lighter at the same time I wrapped my wood trims. For this I took out the shifter assembly and the plastic pieces around it. After removing that the back plastic piece popped out. There are a couple of forums on Club-Lexus that show how to splice and install the USB connections.

I am not sure if you are able to respond to help out, but if you could either guide me to a place or answer that would be amazing! One thing I have noticed is an increase in volume after hanging up a Bluetooth-connected call. It used to happen when I just turned the car on but that no longer happens. I also cannot seem to figure out how to change the language input in the google play store. When I try to search for apps it brings up Chinese characters or doesn't give me the option I want. I have tried changing the keyboard but that did nothing. How did you get the full keyboard in english?

I don’t believe that you can upgrade your unit. The only thing you can do is get a firmware upgrade. I will be making a video about that in the upcoming future!

Question about audio oriented apps: is anyone familiar with Parametric EQ apps that work well with this unit. If so, how many bands? Bandwidth adjustable bands y/n. Cost? Thx in advance. GX470 system has several hot spots, especially in midrange. Graphic EQs are the wrong tool for the job.

I find that the audio sounds just as good as the old ML unit did. I have also swapped out the old ML speakers for some new ones. ML is good but it can’t compare to what’s out on the market now!

The steering wheel buttons along with the climate control ones on the unit are sufficient after getting used to the unit. I do agree with you that the touch screen may be difficult to operate during driving but the additions the unit provides is worth it in my opinion
