I tried to compare features but didn't see what the aliexpress version had more then the beat sonic, can you tell me what features you're referring to?

Thanks!

Really interested to know if anyone's bitten the bullet and tried the AliExpress one on a 2007-2012 LS...there's a version that says its compatible but there's no reviews. I had wireless CarPlay in a loaner recently and it was amazing, changed the whole experience of the car. Would be a big upgrade for an older LS. I may wind up being the guinea pig (once I find an LS) but hoping to hear from someone else that's done it.

I had tried to contact them 3 times with no response. To check if it would fit my 2011.
So either it does not or they just have terrible customer support.

Do you have to connect the backup camera to those analog cables or do you not have to do anything special for the backup camera to work normally?

I've dropped the Lsailt people a note on AliExpress, asking for the installation instructions for a 2010 prior to purchase. Will let everyone know if they respond.

Send him a PM on here. He's member.

Again reminder, this is a guy in China. Its not a store, gotta expect customer service to be a little spotty.

What's the worst you've had to deal with @SW17LS ? Anything so far that would require me to go in and unplug things? Or will a simple ignition off and on fix it? And if so, how frequent is it?
Try google.

Pat yourself on the back, you’ll get there eventually.
I'm impressed you offered any consideration.

Now, let’s keep this banter to a minimum. You can PM me if you want to continue, otherwise let’s not detract from the thread’s focus.
Hahaha! Now that's a fun fact!

Nothing that qould require that. You can reset the unit from the menu. I have done that twice in the whole time I've had it.

PM who exactly, do you happen to know his username? I searched for "Lsailt" and didn't find anyone.

I still haven't gotten a response to my inquiry on AliExpress.

Did you look through the thread I linked in my first post from the RX forum? He posts in that thread pretty often.

Dont feel bad. I had tried 3 times before and never got a response. I will pass. I keep remembering Chinese drywall in homes for some reason.
If this bad at sales god help you if a installation or tech issues later.
Maybe some american company will evidently import them to sell and support.
