Another happy customer of this unit. Great help from @hzhao and @ObsidianBl for my install. The only few issues which are mentioned in this thread and hopefully they're a software fix:
1. Voice on nav - first few seconds get cut off each time. Sometimes I don't even hear a guidance at all.
2. Misses touch a lot on the launcher and setting menu (android auto is very smooth, i think the touch can be fixed on the launcher. Because the missed are real, almost always need clicks twice).
Good: Since the unit is slim, the install is perfectly smooth and tidy inside the console. Android auto is awesome and so is the google assistant integration. The front camera and other camera (it supports side too) is awesome.. almost same as native 360 cam in RX.

Hello @hzhao - since we're still in the sales cycle, can you ask you contact at Lsailt to provide the 'upgrade' password and how to we upgrade as and when then have new software available? Sorry I dont have wechat and no direct line of communication with tech guy there.
@RussianGx we don't have a static reducing module you had them provide.. where exactly did you have to hook it and how to reproduce this issue? Because its now or never we can complain and get some fixes from them.

@tipsytopsy
did you change the screen type to the Lexus E800?
hzhao recommended this and it seems to help with the touch screen.
the google maps voice prompts getting cut off is really annoying. I had a similar problem when I used the OEM Bluetooth to play voice prompts.

And I found the issue with google maps voice prompt. The initialization of playing the sound takes a few seconds to initialize. But if you have an audio app like Spotify or Pandora playing music, the voice prompts will not get cut off.
I use Android Auto (not carplay) so the audio integration is always car's native bluetooth.. so that piece works very well (including phone calls).

@hzhao I believe you mentioned earlier in this thread that you also use a Beatsonic front camera interface.
I already have the LSAILT interface installed and I'm quite happy with it. I'm installing a rear dual-swingout bumper which will obscure my factory camera.
I plan on buying the Beatsonic interface so I can hook up an aftermarket front AND rear camera. Can you please confirm that the Beatsonic interface currently works with the LSAILT?

Yes it does, however you have to navigate through the android apps in order to access that. I use my GX460 for off-roading in some very extreme environments, so I want something that instantly accessible at the push of a button without me having to look at or play with the settings on the screen.

@hzhao @ObsidianBl
Did you guys notice or measure any battery drain don't by Lsailt unit? Due to WFH my car is not driven that much.. but I had a dead battery last week and I had done a 200 mile trip the weekend prior to it (so not a long period of drain time).
Is there any way to measure drain on this? I don't know if OBD will provide battery drain on individual level.
And since I don't have wechat, can you ping their tech guy to see if they have any OTA updates on this unit we can install? May be it improves something.
Thanks in advance!
