Where are you guys ordering from? Directly from the lexion website or through WhatsApp? I tried messaging both numbers posted on the initial post but haven’t gotten a reply

I ordered a couple of weeks ago, the number in this thread didn't reply the one on the website did eventually, have been asking for a tracking number for a few days but no joy yet ?

I was able to talk to "Eric" via WhatsApp back on Sep 24. He quoted my price of $849 shipped, talked about install etc.etc. Couple days later I asked for links to install docs and have not heard back.
I want to order but not sure he is ready for prime time

Are you looking for info for how to take apart the trims or how to connect the cables from Lexion unit? There are lots of YouTube videos how to take off the trims. Search the forum or just go straight to Beatsonic YouTube channel. Connecting the Lexion unit to Lexus radio should be self explanatory since you really cannot plug it wrong way.

The generic pic of the connections at the start of the thread will probably suffice although there are quite a few additional plugs etc which may not be required but must be there for some reason.
Also there are 4 screws I'm assuming to mount the interface although it's not clear where that should go. I could jam it in behind the console although that's not really the Lexus way.
I also messaged Eric on the weekend with no response so far, will try again now.

I'd like to see an installation manual too since mine didn't come with one.

Thanks @Fooz Looks very similar to my 4x4 unit you should probably ignore other plugs and wires. All these units from China come with other add on function like 360 camera but I couldn’t find anyone selling. You can see there’s a wire call 360 and some RCA cable input for camera.

Ah ok that makes sense. I might throw it in then & try to find this spot behind the glove box that was mentioned above for mounting the interface & see if it all works before putting it all back together. I've started unclipping trims etc to the point that the car was still drivable until I received more information.

I've taken apart the trims probably close to 10 times let me know if you have questions. In my experience it's best to put the external decoder box behind glove box. There's no room at all behind Lexus radio and it's better anyway to take out glove box to route wire from radio up to the screen.

GPS antenna is only used for map app in Android system so if you only plan to use only Carplay you don't really need it. I chose to not hook it up it looks cleaner, you would also need to tether data to Andoid system if you plan to use maps in Android. In Carplay everything comes through your phone.
