I did. Opened it up and reconnected the USB and started working.

Woohoo. It came today! Are either of the two wire harnesses with the RCA cables used? How about the wires on the main harness that say rear c, cam pwr or gs12.3?

None of the RCA cables are used.
The CAM pwr cable as well is not needed.

You just need the big power cable, LVDS cable, USB ( if car play) , white screen cable (short cable with 2 wide white ends) and GPS cable ( if you wanted to connect GPS)

Hi. Good news. Got the device. However when I press the aux button nothing happens and when I press the hang up button it beeps, flashes purple and then goes right back to the main screen. And the main screen is flickering purple sometimes. Any thoughts?

also. This wire should be plugged in right?

Thats the screen wire. It needs to be connected behind the screen.

I’ve got the double white one connected to the screen. This one is attached to the giant main wire harness.

The main power cable has 5 ends that need connected. Look at post 172.
Power cable is connected to ports numbered 1 and 5.

5 is the second port to the right of big wide power cable ( marked 1)

Awesome. Phew!!
i have no such TV and no power outlet to
take my car to.
I’m soo glad the display issue did not happen with me- like you and one other member in the forum.

Enjoy. I will post some of my findings once I collate them all.

For those that have installed the device, do you find that the Lexus mouse is a bit wandery and has a bit of a mind of its own? If I move the cursor, often it’ll continue moving long after I’ve stopped moving it.

I feel it’s a little stiff. The movement is not as smooth.

Alright here’s something strange. Every so often on the bottom of the screen the climate control information will display. That’s odd. Anyone else have that happen?
