I have a 2012 and I have the DVD player with the screen which I’m super happy with. The Bluetooth connects automatically with my phone and all that but the one feature which I wish it could do is be able to play KZread while driving. I listen to a lot of music there but the screen goes blank once you put it in drive. Otherwise would definitely keep the stock screen and controls.
1. Idk if you tried my method for the ac but i put steps in your install video 2. I also have a 09 and have same fitment issue
Grate that u added inn u had base model headunit . I still looking for upgrade that's decent for the screen version .
Car looking good bro 🔥👀
I think it shuts down when it overheats, so adding the cooler should solve the problem. I don't have that problem but like sometimes when I turn on the car music sound doesn't come up (once a month), if I tweak it sometimes it helps, other than that it is really worth it.

plus I have a 360 panorama camera with it and it works really good.
Did you figure out how to change from Celsius to Fahrenheit in the A/C app?
How did you get your ac buttons to light up. I can’t get mine to light up.
Can you set it up so that Apple CarPlay pops up/connects as soon as the car comes on?
The culprit for unit crashing is either low ram or overheating. Since you don't use your AC on hot sunny days, the high heat is probably trapped, goes into overheat mode and shuts down. Some units now come with a fan to help lower the temperature.
your Lexus is awesome bro keep up the great work it and nice looking head unit
will you add a reverse camera?
Drill new hole on bracket to adjust the passenger side get some self taper screws.
I need the carpets, where did you get them?
are you still able to have the back up camera?
where did you get the carpets?
If you have a stock screen navigation you should you grom vline for apple carplay and android auto, if you are like mine 2009 with no navigation this screen is good.
Where you get the carpets link?
how about the audio? like i mentioned earlier i do have the Mark Levinson audio. I really don't wanna lose this by installing this headunit. Is it still possible to keep the original amplifier and CD?

Maybe the GROM Vline 2 would work better for you?
ordered but will take it to an audio shop for install
I have the same model and 3 takeaways for your 3 cons. 1: the glitches. Most of these will have some bugs and unfortunately it’s part of it. Some people have done firmware and CANBUS updates with success. 2; the AC is supposed to pop up when you touch your physical buttons. It’s a pop up menu from the bottom. Go into settings and Factory my pin is 3368. Or respond to this and I’ll find the exact steps. It works. 3: fitment. Unfortunately you have to be very careful when you are installing. The plates that connect the screen to the harness need to be placed specifically. THEN you need to add bolts for extra space to create better fitment. Took forever and was annoying but my fitment is almost perfect.

I have an autosonic android head unit for my Lexus is250 but it doesn’t work quite right for my car. It goes off and on whenever I’m driving off hills or going through curves. It’s really annoying. Any idea about what might be wrong?

What I have to do to install apple carplay?
Did you change out the radio yourself?
Does the cd player still work
I just mainly use my head unit for mostly music and spotify (from my phone) and if I needed gps, waze, google maps or something then I'd just use my smartphone. I am a music nut so I will not give up my car audio for this.
👌🏾 the go to move huh lml
Does this have Android auto?

How do you turn on the heat
Am watching this video because am gonna buy one for my 2gen is 350👍🏼
Ive just installed one of these and the AC controls don’t work and steering wheel controls don’t work either. Only the hazard works. No lights on theses controls like the video either. Can’t see any ac control function thru the apps on the stereo either. I also have three plugs deft over that seem to have no use

My stock 2022 Honda Accord radio crashes and I have to restart the car 😂.
settings -- Car infotainment -- about device -- click the setting icon at the right corner, input PIN: 8888 or 8878, click "OK" -- CAN type-- Select No.204 option -- save Try that for your AC bro, same thing happened with me but after I did this the air conditioning app came up and now works fine
