I just checked their site and the price is up to $900. Sceptical about pulling the trigger considering how crappy their customer support seems to be.
Yes, I received mine last week already installed it great system everything works. It's a hassle dealing with seller if you need something fix, I have been lucky with responses. They actually sent me wrong plastic piece that covers the screen mount. They're sending me correct one let's see if I actually get it.

My 4x4 unit arrived today. Pretty impressive shipping. everything looks good. I am going to install tonight and check it out, which means I will be taking my Lexion unit out. I am looking forward to comparing both setups.

You must be the first one on this forum with both latest devices. Does 4x4 come with Android 11?

No it’s Android 10. They have an Android 11 unit releasing really soon.

It's supposed to be android 10 on the 3rd gen 4x4 unit, but who knows for sure as almost all of these units from all suppliers are spoofed

I’ll double check tonight. I know I was disappointed that the Lexion wasn’t close to the resolution that they claimed, and I think ram, abd some other parameters were off.

I’ll be curious to see how the specs of the 3rd gen 4x4 unit compares to Lexion.

I took the plastic peel off the screen itself. You're talking about a different piece, I know.

It should probably be Android 10 and Snapdragon 625.
The unit is the same for: Audi / BMW / Mercedes. KSW software? various modifications possible.
(BMW thread: https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1699764 ) Maybe an external sound card (DAC) for better sound.

Yeah I checked Droid info screen is 1280x480p doesn't sound right? But I'm not planning to watch movies on it so I don't care much for higher resolution.

I had a 1280x480 screen (1st gen). Now 1920x720. The UI and navigation looks better - but it's not a very big difference. In my opinion, the max brightness is more important.

So I'm waiting for the next generation.

My unit shows Android 10.

Got the unit installed. For the most part it works well, it does get warm though. My info shows in MPH so I was able to change from KPH

I cannot get audio to work with CarPlay, no matter if on AUX or BT. Audio works just fine on the normal Lexus menu. Any insight there?

Maybe this will be a temporary solution (found on BMW forum).
----------------
On you vehicle, connect the OEM Bluetooth and what you do is after you connect to CarPlay, switch the sound on your phone to OEM Bluetooth.
But only do this after you’ve connected to CarPlay for the Android BT won’t be needed at that time. If you do it before you connect to CarPlay, you won’t connect to CarPlay.

Makes sense? That’s what I do with my iPhone, and all my sound is via OEM. But you won’t hear anything coming from Android through your speakers (nav, warnings, sound).




So.. your phone should connect two both pretty much at the same time,
It’ll drop your Android BT connection once you enter CarPlay.
At that point...
-Make sure you have USB or OEM BT selected for audio in the vehicle (vehicle OEM, not Android)
And select iPhone audio for OEM sound, not ANDROID... look at the pictures..
-Force press icon circled in red on iPhone (after you swipe those setting down)
-select the OEM bluetooth (mine not displayed because I’m at my home. You should see both Android and Car BTs there)
