Default Bypass modules

So I was researching this and found two options. Vaistech ULM-81 and BeatSonic NDS 6223EP. Anyone know the difference considering the different price points? I tried looking for comparisons but couldn't find it.
I know they have been installed so looking for feedback.
Thanks for the responses

Default Thumbs up for beatsonic

I'm using the Beatsonic module on my 2016 and it installed simply and works flawlessly.

I have not used the Vaistech on Lexus but I once installed one of their modules on a Tundra I had and I recall that it worked well also.

Bottom line is that either looks like a good choice.

Thanks. Someone else PM'd me. It seems as though Beatsonic is better since they have always on video. There is no inactivation on theirs whereas the Vaistech has. I think I'll go with them also. Waiting on a response from them on CL price

Do you DIY, mind share how to open all the accessories to get to the unit and install. I could not find the DYI video for GX

SO I got the unit and installed only to find out, after the fact, that the GX460 does NOT have the always on video feature unless you bypass the navigation. In other words, you can't use the video feature and use navigation at the same time as advertised. BUMMER!!
