Not on site yet but quick link to company website.

Don't these units not typically support the Mark Levinson?

I will definitely get this assuming it supports all functions of the OEM console. Not a fan of the outdaded resolution and color depth in the current generation.

Install this and paint the silver trim black and now you have a redesigned GX interior

I have send an email to the individual listed in Instagram to see how realistic, availability, and knowing compatibility issues..... If reasonably priced, I am willing to give a try on mine to see how well it will be. Let's see how they responded.

These have been around in the mustang world forever. They are ok but typical Chinese product reliability. Stuff will freeze etc occasionally.

Is the navigation internal GPS? There is a similar unit for the is250 and 350 and some the review of it isn't great. It uses the metric system and only 1gb.

According to OP screen shot, it come with 2G memory and 32/64g storage, which is the same as their existing Prado LC150 variant. I prefer 4G but 2G may work. You could also probably solider a 4G RAM chip yourself if hardcore enough. Yes, I believe the navigation is internal GPS. I am more worried on the built in sound processing unit, would it enough to drive premium speakers?

2g should be enough for a head unit as long as it doesn't connect tot the internet via 3g or 4g, it's an astonishing price point at $550.

BTW, they have OBD display unit that shows current temp, voltage, angle, RPM and etc. The device can also download satellite image, keep a log and connect to internet. Of course, these probably can all be done with an iPad and OBD transmitter. lol

Based their 2018 Prado LC150 variant with same spec 2G memory / 64G storage. The price will likely be around $500 retail.

I am in contact with the manufacture and hopefully get more info on the unit in coming days. If the pricing point close to $500 range and it could be integrated with most OEM functions and controls, I am willing to give it a try. There will be limitations for sure. But, if those limitations are within reasonable control.
