  1. Yes, that's what i had to do, but described poorly in previous post. I guess there is a minor revision on some headunits that don't require that modification. Well done for getting sorted. I agree, the resolution is a bit fuzzy, i think because it's using the rca input. But it at least allows to offload the satnav onto an otherwise useless screen.
  2. I hope it helps. On the 20 series, each motorised door has an ecu, that records the full range of door movement. It uses this calibration in order to control the movement speed. Rather than additional sensors that are liable to fail due to dirt or moisture.
  3. First thing to try. Turn off the power door using button to left off steering wheel. Fully open the sliding door until it latches, and then fully close, each door. Turn on power again using switch to left of steering wheel. Sometimes this is required if the battery is disconnected.
  4. On my older one, two of the 4 wires on the touch connector wire from the small adaptor board to the main unit were crossed over, so only a narrow band in the middle of the screen was responsive. I didn't see this on the replacement. Try swiping on various parts of the screen to see if anything 'moves '
  5. I had to calibrate my older system, i had to make an empty file and stick on usb key and reboot. I can't remember if the file was called screen or screen calibrate. The seller should be able to confirm
  6. You have to switch WiFi on, on your phone and connect that to the box too, for video transmission.
  7. Press the aux button. You should see a smaller image in top right. Press that to go full screen, then use the small touch button that came with the carplay box to switch touchscreen to the carplay
  8. Just the front screen section ( with the headunit removed from dash.) I powered up the unit first ,and used the 'eject' button to drop the screen down
  9. I managed, and didn't even have this small document to assist.
  10. Nice. Would like some of the Japanese 8 seater mats, but the shipping is more than the product.
  11. I never got an install manual, probably because i said i had already fitted one in the past. I haven't actually confirmed if their loom does the parking brake signal mod, because i still have the bypass i fitted previously. The kit should come with a microphone, too, so you can interact with Google Voice, although i have not actually tested this because i usually set my destination on my phone before getting into the car and it just auto connects and I'm away. There is a mod somewhere on this forum that i was part of, that you can do to reuse the Toyota microphone (which is the little grill to the right of the controls for the doors above the rear view mirror.) Again, this might already be in the new loom. I should really get around to buzzing through the new loom and seeing what they have connected everything to. When you remove the fascia of the headunit, you will see plenty of space to the left of the gear selector, that's where i have placed my android box. Your can buy a plug and play 2 port usb panel that fits in the blank switch spaces. I originally had it fitted next to the cigarette lighter socket, it connects inline with the existing cigarette 12v supply (i later moved mine to the space to the left of steering wheel) Check on Amazon or AliExpress, if you include Toyota in search term, you will get one that is plug and play, you can get them in usb a, usb c or combo of usb a and c
  12. If you want to do a video chat for me to show you the unit working, send me a pm and we will set up a time
  13. The unit has some functionality i haven't bothered to use, such as screen mirroring rather than android auto, but that is phone model/app dependant. I have not figured out how to get the steering wheel buttons configured, because when you press the buttons, the headunit intercepts them. I imagine an additional switch (like you see on some posts asking what mystery buttons are for) that switched steering wheel control wires from headunit to the android box would get that working, but in reality, the volume works as it should, and the phone call buttons interrupt the Android box and connect via the phone Bluetooth channel anyway, you only lose the 'mode' button (the back and skip buttons signal are sent to your mobile phone)
