Exclamation Is this $300 carplay screen from 4x4shop.ca any good?

Hey y'all, new to the club! Purchased my 2015 RC350 F Sport last week and loving everything beside the oem screen. Going from a car with a large carplay screen to this oem screen has been hard on the eyes! Is this carplay screen from 4x4shop.ca any good? At $300 its the cheapest I can find. https://4x4shop.ca/product/store-cle...d-10-4gb-64gb/

I have a 4x4 screen in my 2016 RC350 and I love it. Having a modern looking screen just completes the car interior. I have the following screen and not sure what the difference is. You might want to contact them and ask. By the way, their support is outstanding - pre and post sales. Also, I have a posted about the installation and a mini review here. If you search, you'll find it.

I want this bad but it in reading through reviews it seems there's different versions, different versions of Android OS in it and then varying issues people have encountered. I'm just afraid of being on a 12 hr drive and having it give me an issue 2 hrs into it.

I just installed the Lexion on my RCF and it is GREAT!
Lexion has a dedicated box so it's much better overall than those standalone screens.

Where'd you mount the dedicated box? Do you have a photo by chance? In the Lexion install video on YT, they used a space behind the glove box. I checked back there in my car and it doesn't seem to have enough room for the box (there's a smart key box that seems to take up too much room).

Can anyone give me any updates with either the Lexion, 4x4 or other manufacturers 10.25" replacement screen Android units?
Do you have any glitches, quirks, problems?
I am also curious if any offer wireless android auto?
I am thinking about an upgrade because I want to use Waze and Google Maps. I also like to use Pandora and other phone functions with android auto.

Lexion is not prone to overheating compare to other brands. Overheating is the primary source of all sorts of issues. Not being bias since I have the Lexion unit - there were minor bugs but with proper communication with the seller/manufacturer, once the kinks were ironed out, this unit is rock solid.

Thank you for your advice!
Did you order directly from their website? Who did you contact?
I want to ask them if they offer wireless android auto before I order.

What I did was sent questions via their whatsapp number regarding all my inquiries and concerns. Then when I'm decided to buy it, I went ahead and submit the order from their online store.

For Lexion (BinaryTek) issues (tech support and ordering in the first place), I've had best success with e-mailing Reyn directly sale02@binarytek.cn
