Haven’t tried the others, but the Carlinkit’s sounds decent enough. I selected the Lexus preconfig in the Mic PreConfig settings. And I also have the stock Bluetooth off

Thank you! I will try to find it..

Default LSAILT draining car battery

Hello,

Has anybody had a battery die (permanently or otherwise) due to the LSAILT? My car died and became undrivable even after jumping (power steering was not working). Dealership said the LSAILT drained the battery. The weather has been cold and the car was not driven for about 2 days. Any advice? I contacted COSMO.

Thanks

My dealer checked two months ago and said no problem. How do I test it myself?

Mine was a 2017. The original battery died and then the battery they replaced it with died completely, was unable to jump. Had to have car towed. The weather was cold, but this 2nd battery died after about 2 months.

Wow, I feel like I just finshed a novel that went for dream to horror. Most of us probably have not done this much research on their car purchase.Here is what I learned, I think...

-take two aspirin before reading the longest thread ever and grab a not pad.
-lsailt seem buggy for most but still the unit to get
-magnetic socket 10mm is a must.
-buy direct from lsailt (how do you pronounce this anyways) to get a lower price
-expect to be come friends with lsailt/cosmo-place in glovebox for easy access
-lsailt spends his time on advancing the product then making it stable or giving people a manual.
-I may have a dead battery at some point. Seems to be a deal breaker and defeats having a carI have to be honest. I have never had this much anxiety around an aftermarket. It just shows how desperate we all are for CarPlay....

Default RX350 Android Auto / Apple Car Play modules

I am looking to install one of the several modules that my 2018 RX350L with Navigation the ability to run Android Auto / Apple Car Play. We are an android family so that is what is more important for me. A Googkle search brings different modules to do the same thing.
LSailt
Crux
Beat-Sonic
and others.
I have read several threads on the forum but I would like some direct feedback from members that have done this. Is one unit better than the other? Any unit not listed that you would recomend of these? Any Issues? Would you do it again?

Thanks
BB
