Thanks for confirming that dojoman!

As much as I have loved my 2nd gen 4x4 unit and had zero issues with it for nearly 2 years, it is starting to have problems and while 4x4 customer service has been excellent in trying to help, we have not come a reasonable solution to my issue yet and I am about to just trash the unit and get the Lexicon.



@Jazzrock Hey bud, since I know you have this unit, would you be able to help with these 2 questions:

1. How many USB inputs are there? 1 or 2?
2. Is the wireless carplay built into the unit? or is it through a USB dongle?

Thanks!

 

What is the issue with 4x4 unit?
I think it has 2 USB ports. Jazzrock can confirm I saw on the harness two usb plugs.
Wireless Carplay is built-in no dongle can also use wired.

 

It has never had this issue before, just started this week, but the unit is overheating and shutting down

Which is another reason the Lexicon unit is better due to the control unit being separate and not stuffed into the hottest part of the car




Sweeeeeet, thanks man!

 

Two USB inputs. One for wired CarPlay/Android Auto. Wireless is in the unit. No dongles. There is a setting to connect automatically. You check the box in Settings. Sorry you're having problems with the other brand. The two USB wires will come from the glove compartment unless you feed them around and punch a small hole in the head unit so the wires are where the armrest is, if that makes sense. I forgot to ask the installer to do this. Not a big deal, but something to be aware of. The unit goes behind the glove box.

 

I figured out and have eliminated all the issues except the jog mouse working on Lexus OS. Still can't fix that one.

 

How did you fix it? Joystick still not working in Lexus OS? I wonder why this happens I’m afraid to install mine now i went through this many times didn’t turn out well. I hope Lexion has a solution if not you can open dispute.

 

Not sure why, but the joystick plug was completely taped up and hidden within the harness. That was the first fix. Somehow during troubleshooting, the fuse I have my remote turn on for the amp blew, and as I was troubleshooting today I discovered that and fixed it.

Jog mouse works perfectly in the Lexion OS. When I press and hold menu it will go into the Lexus OS but no mouse is present so I can't click on anything.

Jae has been super helpful (I think that is who I am talking to on WhatsApp). There were several minor issues in the beginning like the backup camera, that were software related and a setting had to be changed.

I think at this point it has to be something with the harness, but I am not sure.

 

Glad to hear you've fixed some of the issues. Hopefully you can get the joystick to work with Lexus.
What phone number are you using in WhatsApp? Thanks!

@Jazzrock Do you know where installer mounted the external control box? Behind glove box? I kind of want to know exactly where I have removed glove box before there aren’t a lot of room back there.

 

It is behind the glove box, as the two USB cables come from there.

 

Thanks. That's the number I use. I asked a question on 6/23, with follow up on 7/12 with no response.

 

Well, I fixed my overheating issue, My unit is working great again

But I will continue to keep up with this thread as if/when my unit dies or starts having issues again, I'm buying the Lexicon


Also, I plan to buy a used RCF soon, so I will get this unit for that one for sure

 

In this video, Beasonic installs their andriod control box behind the glovebox, I imagine you would put the Lexicon in the same place

 

I believe this is the video Lexion sent me, as they explained theirs is in Korean.
