Oh man was about to buy it and didn't even realize that I need the nav version as well... I"m going to ask the 4x4 guys if it's possible, I've also reached out to FORALL Parts aliexpress guys.

OR is it the case that when you're running Android apps (e.g., Waze, YouTube) that they take over the whole screen and audio?

I assume (hope!) that I'll buy the latest version offered by 4x4 for my RX450h with no factory NAVI (**** control): the Android 9.0, 4GB RAM /64GB Storage, 1920/720 (yes, I've read the thread and know to be skeptical of the version and screen resolution

Thanks.
I can listen to my XM radio and use the built in apps like Waze.

Works as expected, it has a little different color than original, but not too drastic. Check it out:

Currently trying to talk the engineer into making one for my 2015 w/nav, he's quoting a $3K mold fee haha.... Where does the power go into??? If the power works for my model might buy one and cut out/customize mine to incorporate this...

Can that accommodate a larger phone?

It does look larger than the original size but not sure how much larger. I noticed the website shows 2015-2019 Lexus IS, but the pre '17 IS had the cup holders as 2 separate holes...I wonder how that would work because it looks like it's just the top plate....

Yeah I noticed the same since I wanted to get it for my ‘16. Right now I have this setup which I like a lot, but it’s a little busy. The phone holder charges wirelessly and auto-clamps to secure my
phone. I had it up on my air vents before, but now that I have CarPlay I suction-cupped it down there.

Yes, my iphone XS fits with a lot of spare space, I believe, it can fit XS Max also...

I got some T cable with it, but wasn't compatible, so I had to cut to cables powering USB ports in arm rest.

NaviHua told me there was a firmware update in the works for units experiencing shut downs/restarts due to heat.

has anyone tried the app YouTube Music? google is shuttling down Google Music soon.... so I'll have to use YouTube Music..... and it seems like YouTube Music doesn't like the 4x4 unit.... Its almost like it thinks its a phone, and not a tablet, so the layout is messed up

I was told by 4x4shop that this unit has a SIM tray on the back. Is this true? I can't find it.

When I just use the YouTube Music App, it seems to get stuck in "full screen" mode.... and only shows the album art.... if I go on my normal tablet, there is a better interface other than that "full screen" mode... and I can't get it on my 4x4.... you don't have this issue?

I saw what looked like a SIM slot on the back of mine... but I haven't used it
