Have just installed mine today thanks to your video. Shits all over the ones that come from the suppliers. BIG issue however was with the reversing camera. I found that the factory plug had another plug in it which had a much smaller plug on the other end that matched nothing. I couldn't get the reversing camera to work. SOLUTION: Remove the patch lead to the smaller plug and the new unit plug fits straight into the larger factory plug. Hope this helps someone and saves the 2 hours I spend trying to work it out!

Ok So just an update, I ordered one of these units, they were out of stock so it too 8 weeks to get it but it was so worth the wait. The unit is awesome and your video is a great video on how easy it is to install. It really made the difference and I referred to it more than theres. The only thing is based on how it comes in the box. There are some components which were loose in mine and were not easily explained or knew where to go but in the end I worked it all out. To all the other people out there, I am one of the least mechanically minded people and I found it very easy, all up it was installed from start to finish in just over an hour and thats because I could not get the reversing camera to work so I had to tinker until I found out what was missing being a square module which had no reference or labelling. I eventuality saw on a video where it went. I probably could have done it all in around 35 to 45 minutes. I am sure thats how long it will take me to do my neighbours car who will want one when he sees mine. Safe travels and keep up the great work.

When I was growing up my mother taught everyone of us how to wire up an electric plugin, those days when you bought anything electrical it didn’t come with a plug, she was forever giving us a lecture about looking for a screwdriver instead of using the knives, you brought back a memory with the butter knife 🤣🤣💕

we can see you are now doing all the dishes making the beds cleaning the van for the next 52 weeks to be back in the good books for spending all that money love your work stay safe

Hi Justin, just wanted to say a big thank you - been looking to replace the amazingly frustrating head unit in my LC200 for quite some time. Your vid led me to get the 12inch head unit installed by EC Offroad. I saved some good money thanks to you and I could not be more happy with the unit and the service from EC Offroad.

I started laughing when I saw this video, as the last video of yours I watched was the review and walk around where you weren't happy with the head unit. I guess you got your way... love it!

Haha, awesome, was waiting patiently for this, they do make replacement units alot easier to install these days with these adapter harnesses. The trick is knowing where to undo the trim - good thing we have youtube.Looks super neat and factory, enjoy!

It is good to know there is a community that can help support this - and established suppliers and replacement parts are there. In our country - we would get an electrician to fix. Buut good to know what he is doing...in there.

very few vehicles have a good head unit, I now use an old 10" android tablet and just bluetooth it to the head unit for the sound, probably not as good as replacing with an up market headunit but a lot cheaper. and the tablet I use allows me to split screen so i can run 2 apps at the same time, a handy feature.

Great vid Justin, looks mint now

Mate, got up Sunday morning with a couple of dozen things to do, while I'm eating my wheaties checked some stuff on the 'pute first and there you are with your new unit, and I'm ten minutes into the install before I remember all the stuff I'm s'posed to do. Mate you're like Nat'swhatIreckon; once you get into it a bloke has to tear himself away. Oh, and congrats on the new unit, love the way you consigned the old one to the shitbin.

I’m guessing that with the sim in it would be like having your standard gps connected to your Toyota link app, it allows you to search businesses online and then access their location data. It’s a very handy but underutilized system because in general the Toyota tech is so slow but with Apple car play etc, you can basically do the same thing without having to have a dedicated sim.

Go for there dash cluster as well mint👌🏼

Thanks guys, you saved me $240 off my new head unit.
