hey guys,
so i'll be pulling the plug on the 4X4 unit. The guys at 4X4 will be installing it as i live 20 min away from them. I was on the phone with them and they said the unit is coming in tomorrow, so i'll probably go there thursday to get it installed. I can't tell if it's the 3rd gen or 4th because i asked if it's the latest and they said yes it's the latest.
What i want to know before pulling the plug (lets assume 3rd gen), are u all happy with it? based on reading, my understanding is thatt he unit will output ALL audio from aux... but i can still use the Lexus BT.. i have the mark levinston setup so i watn the best audio...
When im in carplay mode, and i use the music app, will the audio come out of AUX or can i output that to BT?
also, if there is anything else you guys can tell me about the unit i should be aware of that would be great. LIke if there are certain things that won't work once i use the unit, please let me know.
I want to make sure my phone calls are untouched and works seemslesly. i want to ensure all steering controls are intact. If i use carplay to play music, can i use steering control to switch tracks and pick up/hang up calls?

Both. You just have to change input from AUX to BT. But remember that you also have to switch speakers out in iOS Control Center from carplay to Lexus BT output. That's why I don't mess with this I just leave everything in AUX. And you cannot hear Waze Nav audio in BT.

This is going to be tricky, at least in Lexion unit I don't have experience with 4x4, all phone calls go though Carplay interface it doesn't use BT. iOS setting for Call Audio Routing to "Bluetooth headset" will route to BT but there's a bug in iOS 14 this doesn't work. If you use Carplay screen you can hear phone calls both directions, but if you're in OEM input like Radio or CD and when phone call comes in you won't be able to hear them until you switch to AUX. The iOS setting above supposed to toggle to BT automatically but it's not working for me. When you use steering phone buttons it will always bring up Carplay phone screen, this is at least how it works in Lexion. Steering wheel track skip button works.

so it seems like if I’m in carplay screen, Snd a call comes in, it won’t use the car’s default BT call system? That’s kinda crazy. Does the unit come with its own mic?

Phone calls will go though OEM mic if you choose to select this in the setting, there's a also a plug on the harness to complete this connection. It also comes with an external mic but I didn't want to connect it another wire to deal with. But this info is coming from using Lexion not 4x4 so some things might be different with that one.

Thanks,
since 4x4 will be doing the install themselves, I’ll ask them to set it up accordingly.
inalso just spoke to them, it turns out they’re releasing gen4 using Qualcomm and android 11 at the end of this month.
u think it’s worth waiting or I should go with the 3rd Gen that has snapdragon? And Android 10? Is there a bigger advantage from the 2 gens? On their site they are adversiting it for Mercedes Benz. So I think it’ll be similar?

This is interesting (4gen)

You don't want to use this it will keep calling yourself to transmit voice to BT. Every time Waze instruction is announced it dials phone number to you. Also, you cannot change sound output from Waze once Carplay is connected, it locked into output through Carplay only, I've already tried to workaround no luck.
