New head unit
Well done for figuring it out. Yeah, i suggested the bridging method over a year ago now, I'm glad it is still of use - the most system being a loop can throw people a bit, especially if they are replacing the rear media screen.

English head unit install. Which Oem system is equiped?
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.

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 '

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

You have to switch WiFi on, on your phone and connect that to the box too, for video transmission.

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

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

Nice. Would like some of the Japanese 8 seater mats, but the shipping is more than the product.

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
