Installed this on my '12 GX460. Works great. Only issue I've run into so far is I'm needing to turn the volume up almost 40-50% on the vehicle before I get to a moderate level of volume. Any solution to this? I'd like to avoid blowing my eardrums in the chance that the source gets switched to fm radio from the carplay.
Ensure to keep the AUX harness disconnected between the original male AUX connector and the female connector of our AUX harness. This is marked with a purple sticker. If you need further assistance, please email us at info@beatsonicusa.com
Got mine ready to install, I notice the instructions mention firmware has been updated. Do y’all ever anticipate updating firmware post sale, and if so, is that something the end user can do? Lastly, how is that done on each box, so that maybe I can consider placement to make that easier in the future?
Hi , i have lexus gx460 2012 ,unfortunately with only small screen (info screen) any chance i can upgarde to the 12 inch screen firstly then install android auto !!
This worked when I set it up, but now I’m just stuck in a beat-sonic boot screen. I’ve checked all the connections and the dip switches; no luck. Any advice?
There was a usb flush mount that fit in the hole but unfortunately we’re not sure where we sourced it. Try to measure the factory base and see if there’s one on amazon that fits the same size
Unfortunately this kit does not work as a nav/dvd in motion bypass. The carplay/aa does not require a bypass to operate while you are driving. We have discontinued the nav/dvd in motion for this vehicle
This doesn’t affect dvd playability. Rear screens should not show anything when carplay is up on front unless dvd is being played in the background; then the dvd should play
Hey @@BeatSonicUS, I'm close to buying this but I'm not finding a good review of the 2010-2012 kit with side and front cameras. When you say "you will lose camera functionality", do you mean, even pressing the camera button on the steering wheel will not bring up the cameras? Or they just won't automatically pop up on the screen?
@@lu_camps correct, your cameras will stop functioning if you have the side cameras. Even when you change your gear to reverse it won’t show. So you will lose your factory cameras. As such we don’t recommend this kit with vehicles equipped with the extra cameras
Thanks for the thorough install video! Installed mine this weekend and it was straightforward and easy to follow along.
Pleasure is all ours! Glad the video was helpful!
Can't wait to get mine! Just in time for my road trip 👍
Nice! You’ll love it!
Where do I buy this?

We don’t expect any firmware updates in the future.

Unfortunately we don’t know a solution for your trim. Sorry about that!
Can you utilize Waze (and other apps) using this unit or is it preconfigured with the only apps you can use?
You can use Waze and other apps that are compatible with Android auto and carplay. They will show up automatically if they are installed in your phone

Sounds like you need to set up the wireless connection between your phone and our device. Please email us for tech support info@beatsonicusa.com
awesome video! question tho, is there a way to swap the usb dongle into the factory slot? not a huge fan of the dangling usb

Does this unit also work as a dvd/nav motion bypass? I didn't see a bypass module for the 2010-13 available on your site. Thanks!

If my GX has the factory DVD/rear screens, does this affect playability? What will be on the screens in the rear if I have apple CarPlay on up front?
This doesn’t affect dvd playability. Rear screens should not show anything when carplay is up on front unless dvd is being played in the background; then the dvd should play
I wonder if you can just put the 2014+ head unit in the older models
The wiring harness is different.
I am installing now and my left and right speakers seem to be reversed. Any ideas on this?
Please email us for tech support info@beatsonicusa.com
Does this use the factory GPS antenna for Android Auto/CarPlay or is it reliant on the phone's GPS antenna?
It uses the phone’s gps
@@BeatSonicUS I finally bought it and installed it last night, this video was a huge help!
Is there an additional module to be able to watch CZcams or Netflix?
Unfortunately we don’t have a device to make it watch CZcams or Netflix on this video model
Good afternoon, please write the full name of the model
LGVIF-CB8W is the model number
Does this effect the speaker quality? Could I run a subwoofer with this? thanks
Sound quality will be the same as factory Bluetooth. There are no additional audio outputs on this device
@@BeatSonicUS Will this work on vehicles equipped with Mark Levinson?
@@chris0man yes also compatible with ML
Does the unit have a hdmi out to connect external screens?
Unfortunately it does not have hdmi out to connect external screens
@@BeatSonicUSCan you add a HDMI splitter to rear tvs?
@@Victorsanchez-zk9mq unfortunately you can’t
Will this work if I have the front and side cameras that turn on when I slow down?
This will work if you have the front and side cameras but you will lose all your camera functionality
