Took 18 days for delivery. Installed it immediately in my 2019 GX, its been a month now and it has been working great. No issues. Probably the easiest & cheapest upgrade on the GX.
- Mirrors fold on lock, and unfold on unlock
- Clicking unlock quickly 3 times in a row rolls down all windows
- Pressing and holding the unlock for a few seconds rolls down all windows & opens the sunroof

I wish there was a way to make it close the sunroof on lock. If anyone knows how it can be done, please tell. I guess there should be some option in TechStream to set that option.
The roll up all the windows are enabled on some version of this module, mine does fold the mirrors and also close all the windows if left open. This option is also available via Techstream, when enabled, by holding the lock button, all open windows will also close. Just a quick note, that option is available for 2010 to 2020, anyone with 21+ can verify if that option is still the same as GX has changed body ECU as part of technology refresh.

Yes, all windows (if open) roll up on lock. I was asking about the sunroof. If it is open, it doesn't close on lock.

If the module can open the sunroof (long press on the unlock button), I am thinking there is a probably a way to close it too. Maybe some setting needs to be changed in TechStream.

That’s correct. Sunroof will not close either via module or techstream settings. That is by design, maybe a safety feature or requirement.

Does this work on new 2023 GX?

Sort of. If you read the link, the seller ships an extra cable for the '22s and '23s, and it mounts inside the steering column rather than just plugging into the OBDII port. I have essentially the same thing in my '23 that I bought off Amazon, and it works as claimed.

Thanks. A little too invasive for now, will install toward end of my warranty.

There's not much to it. A few screws and otherwise plug-n-play, and equally easy to remove. I installed mine the first week I had it.

Default Adding switch for 2021

I have a 2021 GX460 and purchased the Forten Kingdom from Azon. After installing I tested it and it works as intended. EXCEPT, I am experiencing the same issues others have in that my alarm automatically goes off after a 10 min remote start. I understand that installing a switch is the work around. Mine is wired differently than the one pictured in this thread. My question is, do I want the switch before or after the obd in the harness? The one previously pictured had power that went down to obd and one that went straight to the other end of the harness (bypassing the obd). So switch before obd, or after?

Default Techstream to enable auto folding/unfolding of mirrors when key fob locks/unlocks doo

Can anyone confirm that the Stealership should be able to enable the fold/unfold mirror feature when fob is used to lock/unlock doors on 2021 GX460 through Techstream ? I do have power mirrors with the fold/unfold option via the switch to the left of the steering wheel. They told me today they weren’t able to do this. I know there is the aftermarket gizmo but it does, indeed, cause the alarm to go off after an auto start cycle.

No. That is not a TS option

Default 2023 mirror fold automatic

I know there was a thread for my old 2016 to get the mirrors to automatically fold with the lock button. I just bought a 2023 and was looking for the same part. The one for the 2016 doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Been using this since 2021 on my 22 without issues. If I had to order again I would ask seller to remove locks and windows feature.

I have a 2023 and bought a module off Amazon. It works great, however if I remote star my car using the app after the car turns off the alarm goes off. I am unsure why.

How do you get the alarm to stop after it goes off? Do you just hit the unlock button on the key fob? I am going to be getting this for my mirrors and curious how to stop the alarm once it goes off as I use auto start too on my app.
