Thanks for that. Installer in Cincy really pushing for those 2 over the Beat-Sonic, for whatever reason. The ZZ-2 does have a good warranty. They are talking $1000 (USD) with install.

The $300 +/- Carlinkit is the best deal going. It's also sold on Amazon too. Some of those others are just re-cloned marked up price kits. $1000 for it is just a ripoff imo.

To be fair, that is with install, which I REALLY dont want to do myself. I mean, I build computers and such, so I get there is nothing hard/technical about the install, but still.

I have ES300h 2013 and installed Carlinkkit. Do you know if I can run or connect usb and AUX connector from Carplay kit to the USB and AUX ports inside the armrest by hiding them under the console panel? I don’t want them expose. Thank you

I installed a RoadTop airplay module on my '14 with ML system. I disconnected the neg during install. At first the unit worked ok, then randomly, after a few more minutes eventually stopped working. I tried starting the car but it won't turn, I just hear rattling noises like you hear when you accidentally press START while the engine is idling. I decided to uninstall the module and re-install the OEM unit.. Still the car won't start, 2/3 of the screen is blank, warnings on the dash flashing, and I'm getting a prompt to see dealer.

Do I need to get the battery jumped? Is my ML stereo also now damaged? Please help. TIA.

Problem solved. Recharging battery did the trick. I'm probably not going to install the aftermarket RoadTop Carplay module since the unit is too glitchy..
​​​​​​Note to self: expect having to recharge battery whenever working on something electronic with these vehicles.
