The major bugs were fixed. There have been very little bugs after that. Nothing is perfect.

I got the executive package with levingston. Do I loose any quality in sound? Also, is the speakers and Mic replaced and is same quality for calls? Is the Google carplay worth it?

Yeah they sent it to me a while back, but my car is on it’s way to Germany so I can’t update it until I head that way too haha.

I sent a message to Fred, and I'm hoping he responds so that I can ask how they solved it, and if they ever will have an install video up. Also, they are charging $100 for the Carplay dongle...and I see you can get them for about $50-60 on AMZ/ebay.

@Droth - Let us know how it goes for you!
i chatted with Fred on Friday evening (really great customer service). He said that the newest firmware fixed all the issues and should be stable. Good to hear this seems to be true!

Who did u get the mcu file from, if its from 4x4 that file causes more problem, after he gave me that one and i had more problems he gave me a number for the engineer he keeps refering too and he gave me a file and it fixed all the issues i had.

Good to know, I guess I need to get the one you’re talking about then because it was 4x4 that sent me that file a while back.

People are saying they now support Navi etc. Apparently they were able to get the harness for that version. I would email them or call and ask.

Hi Guys,

Does anyone now if this unit will work with the ISF, which i think has different connectors than the 2IS 250/350?.

Thanks for any assistance in advance!.

Here is what you'd be looking at for the 2nd gen...

To the people that bought this, can you list the bugs you do still have? Even if they are minor, would be great to know.

I saw a video where it showed that the units BT audio sounded horrible, but sounds fine when connected to the Lexus BT and CarPlay. Also that you had to remain on the CarPlay screen to use the right audio?

I’m probably confused, but would be great to understand the peculiarities. Thanks.

Has this been update to 8.0? Or is it still running 6.0?
