That's what I do now, but I consider it a stop-gap. I'll either need to wait optimistically for Grom to release their vline for MY15 or roll the dice on this thing. The youtube videos Acrad linked to suggest there's some issues that may/not have been addressed and I can't tell if their touchscreen cables are meant to somehow add touch to non-touch screens or need to be utilized with factory touch screens. I'm really not a fan of the mouse setup.

I found this one too...15" IPS Tesla. It shows connectors layout in the back. Maybe someone can confirm how the back of the GX system look like.

The lack of XM for me would be a deal breaker. I assume that all of these would not have XM/Sirrus access, as that is tied to the head unit itself. Bummer as this looks pretty good.

Default Universal Carplay module?

Anyone ever see something like this before? If it does what it says it does, paired with a video motion bypass, it might enable full CarPlay support. https://carnavi-tech.com/index.php?r...product_id=263

Hey,

Does anyone know how to maintain climate and vehicle customization settings for the GX with a Pioneer AVIC-W8400NEX?

Thanks,
Darren

You can not. GX A/C control logic is built into the current OEM head unit.

Nope. Even the recent 2020 refresh that surfaced does not have it.

Default Apple Carplay

A number of folks on the RX forum have been using a unit from these guys with good success (and online support). Just noticed they have one that appears to be for the GX. I'm chatting with support now to figure out which pieces are needed for CarPlay and will report back.

I would love to be able to install Android Auto on my car's infotainment system. The lack of it is frustrating on a vehicle like this.

I’ve been looking at this as well. However, I’d also like to get rid of the old tape player portion at the bottom of the dashboard and your option does not do that. As a result, I’m looking at this:

Does anyone have any experience with this item? Backup camera needs to be replaced, which is fine considering the poor quality from the factory.
