I don't know why youtubers edit & remove the time consuming/difficult aspects (in this case, the wood trim panels surrounding the unit) of a project. That's where we need you the most.
The wood trim panels pop out. There are a couple clips on the back. You have to be careful with them because they are very fragile and unfortunately very thin. There was no way of recording them being removed since it requires both hands, but I do plan on investing in a headset camera very soon to help with that. Let me know if any other areas were particularly difficult and I’d be more than happy to help you out.
I hear you and totally agree; it's those little things you need to know, so you won't break anything. A few years ago I had to manually close my moonroof on my Audi, I knew what I had to do, except how to remove all the panels to get to that mechanism; all yt videos started with "after you've removed the panels.." Eventually I found one that told me to remove the dome light cover, and there's a screw in there that holds everything.
Its always bound to happen, definitely with those flimsy clips and hard to reach panels.
@@nkautos thanks for trying. I’m buying a 2008 this week. Thanks
Great video even with just one hand filming. Very detailed explanation and patiently walked through each step. Subbed.
I really appreciate your kind words. Thank you for subscribing and I really hope you will continue to enjoy my videos!
Awesome tutorial! Just picked up an 06 GX470. This is definitely on my to-do list!
Awesome, Thank you for the comment!
Where did you get the new radio? And does the clock on top come off old radio and mount to new one?
Definitely gained a subscriber bro , keep it up ! Im depending on you😂
Thank you, I have some more exciting content coming soon!
My head unit can never keep the same time. Always jumps either a a hour or 2 forward. Skips 1 sec forward from the song I'm listening to feels like I'm listening to a cd like in old days. Sucks I thought for 650$ I would some good quality but hey it's Chinna
I had that problem in the beginning but it was fixed with a custom firmware upgrade
The oem reverse camara work good in this radio?
You can connect the OEM camera to the radio but it does take some splicing to connect it
One of the best walk thru installation videos I’ve seen! I just got an ‘06 GX w/ ML Stereo, and I’m looking for ways to Bluetooth stream music from my iPhone. I had a ‘10 ES 350 with the UL package and ML Stereo, so I’ve been spoiled. I do have the 30 pin iPod connector wired through the glove box, and I ordered the 30 pin to lightning adapter to see if that will work. If so, I may get an iPod Classic and just listen to my iTunes playlists that way. Thanks!
Team Fish Thank you for the support and the kind words! I know gromaudio sells an internal unit that allows for Bluetooth. That is if you would want everything to be hidden and wire free. The iPod way works well too, you would just have less room to download and not be able to stream music. Either way let me know what you do, I’m interested in your results!
NK Autos will do bro. I got one of those cheapo aftermarket 30 pin to lightning cable adapters coming in a couple of days. From what I’m seeing on the webs though is that adapter will probably only charge my phone and not support audio transfer capabilities like an OEM Apple one would. And even if it does work, I think you lose phone capabilities while it’s plugged up, basically turning my phone into an iPod, if I’m not mistaken. We’ll see. I may just go the old classic iPod 7th gen way. Oh. While I have your attention, are you aware of any cool aftermarket headlight assemblies for the 06 GXs? I’d really love to get rid of those amber DRLs, without just disabling them altogether. Something like the cool LED strips like Audi has. I haven’t found much on the webs.
Team Fish There isn’t much aftermarket options for headlights. I have the DEPO sport ones which looks way better than OEM. Other than that retrofitting would probably be the best option for you. I would try looking around some shops that would be able to do the job. Unless you are comfortable doing it yourself and baking your headlights for 30 minutes at 450 degrees to break the seal. Other than that I am running LED low beams and high beams. Nothing too special so far. Maybe something cool down the road and retrofit some halos into the headlight!
Nice, clean install. Cant wait for the review and follow-up.
ListersRP Thank you for the support! Will be coming soon with another video. Make sure to subscribe if you haven’t done so yet!
I have this exact aftermarket head unit on my gx470, out of the blue, it stopped making sound. I've tried switching to radio, Bluetooth, music and all but it just won't make sound. Any insights pls?
Try to reboot the system, if its its not that it might have a loose wire or worse the cars amp might have blown
@@nkautos
Thanks for the tip. I ended up disconnecting the battery and letting it sit for a while. After reconnection, everything came back to normal
Thanks for the great detailed video 👍🏼
I was wondering if this unit fits in GX 460? Or if there is another model for 460?
This unit will not fit in the 460, but there is a different model that fits and works about the same as this one does. The install will be a little different but should have similar connections in the back of the device
Love the midwest pronunciation of the word 'console' to sound like 'council'. Must be a Chicago thing. 18:06 .
Will this work with a Gx 470 with factory Nav
Yes, it will
How would you rate the new audio VS the stock?
I haven't noticed a difference but I have had people tell me it doesn't sound as good as their ML system. I don't hear any difference in audio however.
04:18 At least the 470 cup holders are good for something!
Is there an Android phone hook up for maps instead of the Apple adapter
There is a map app on the unit itself that uses google maps. All you have to do is connect the unit to a hotspot and you will be able to use it from there. Not quite like apple car play but it still shows all the features you need
AC/Heat working great this way?
No problems!
So I checked the Phoenix website
can I do this with 2006 GX 470 ?
The link I copied /paste on the website you provided
[ PX6 SIX-CORE ] 10.4" VERTICAL SCREEN ANDROID 9 FAST BOOT NAVIGATION RADIO FOR LEXUS GX 470 2003 - 2009
$679. ( Is this legitimate aftermarket product work with the specs of the car ?
Can my alternator keep up ,basically ?)
I have had no problems with the radio, it's been a little over 2 years now. I have an 07 GX470 and everything runs smoothly, the voltage draw isn't much different than the stock radio and doesn't affect the life of the battery as far as I've tested.
Could you have just ran the other end of the mic through first and then make the connection into the back of the unit last?
Yes, that would have been easier than running the wider part through.
Great video! Lots of detail and information. Very well done 👍🏼
William Aguillon Thank you, glad that it helped!
So helpful. LOVE this radio. Had one for the last year and it's been great. Upgraded the firmware to a custom one and it's been flawless since then. I did a video about it.
GX Overland Awesome I’ll check it out! Thanks for the support!
Can you jailbreak it to watch TH-cam while car is driving?
Did your OEM CD player still work with the new Tesla screen?
Great video! I'll be looking into an HD rear view camera before I pull the trigger. Would also love to run A front camera.
HannibalACP82 this unit has an available accessory on the Phoenix Website for a 360 camera which includes the front. It’s somewhere around 160$, that’s what route I plan to take!
@@nkautos I've seen that but it's a bit steep. Also I don't really care about the sides. I want front for offroading and back for parking. Can get decent cameras on eBay for $30 a pop.
HannibalACP82 They are a little bit steep, I just like that they are pretty much plug and play with the unit. I won’t have to play around with splicing wires and connecting them to the console. If you figure out a way of easily doing it send over the info, I would be interested in seeing how you did it!
LetMeSeeThis99 yes that is correct!
Did you find out if there’s an auto dimming function? Thank you.
There is no auto dimming function in the base unit but you can install an app that will do it for you! I have it linked in my review video.
Great video. I have a 2007 GX470 with navigation and just about everyone is telling me that with the navigation it can't be replaced as it will screw up a lot of "other stuff.". Yours had navigation, so I'm assuming that everyone else is mistaken?
I haven't had any problems with the unit so far!
Aaayyyyy I'm your 1k sub, congrats buddy!
Thank you! I appreciate you and couldn’t be happier
Niceee homie
Incredibly detailed video, thank you! Thinking about trying this, partly because the LCD ;touch screen on our 2008 GX470 just suddenly went black and can't get it back on. Will make it pretty much impossible to do the recommended setup at 2:06 before starting. Do you think that's a show stopper?
Hello I'm sorry for the late reply, it shouldn't be a huge problem. Did you end up installing the radio?
Good to know I've been shopping for non nav models bc everything I've read indicated the nav w/climate button etc couldnt be upgraded..probably all b4 this unit became available.
No problem upgrading with the NAV unit, glad this helped! If you have anymore questions don't be afraid to ask!
How.much did the unit cost in total?
It was around 400$
Hi, Would you be able to tell me the kit brand name & model number? I'd like to get one for my 2005 GX470! Thanks
It is the PX6 radio for the 2003-2009 GX470 from the link I have provided in the video description
Hi
I need this car stéréo for my prado gx 2004
The 7 thumb downs = land rover owners
Nice video except that you did not include hooking up the wiring harnesses? Thank you for showing where the harnesses go on the back of the new head unit, but why not show the hookup to the GX wiring harness? Is this not crucial to a proper installation? I realize that you should be able to figure it out by what fits, but what about the connection to the can bus decoder? Well I just figured that out while writing this that it connects to the Pink (02-09 Land Cruiser Air Conditioning) wiring harness but you didn't show that.
Overall it is a good video but would have been better had you included wiring the unit into the dash.
The plugs I showed in the video will have 4 main plugs that come from the car's harness. The can-bus decoder will be plugged directly to the unit itself. I wasn't able to get a good shot of all the connections in the back of the unit but I was hoping the explanation of the back would be sufficient. If you have any questions about any more connections feel free to leave a message and I will respond ASAP. I appreciate the comment!
thanks for sharing your experience and detailed explanation, i have this head unit i want to install it in range rover 2001 or chevy malibu 2003, so is it possible to handle it as an universal android unit regardless it is designated for land cruiser i mean connecting the wires to existing car harness. or is it need to recognize the car which designated for, thanks.
I am not 100% sure on how the unit would identify the different model of car according to the canbus and the module inside the unit. If you are willing to take on a project then it's worth a try
Looks great , will definitely check it out !
one comment if helpfull, wire the fuse to the globe box as welll.. you dont want to unmount everything if he fuse blows...which can happen...this will save a huge amount of time
Sounds like a great idea! Thank you for the insight!
Does this head unit work with the OEM backup camera?
your video so details I got 2003 GX 470 I love to have that on my car but I can not so all that please tell me where to go install that thanks
Thank you for the kind words, any audio/speaker shops should be able to install it for you!
my radio arrived today - no instructions - but a mini cd rom that won't read on my desktop. I also didn't receive any Canbus decoder... Did they short me that item?
Unfortunately no instructions come with the unit. There is an online PDF that I provided in the description that shows a few steps. I received the CD disc aswell but didn’t do anything with it. I believe that some units come with the canbus and some do not. I believe it depends on the year of the car. I would try to reach out to the seller and see if one is needed for yours. Let me know if you have anymore questions, I hope that helps!
Thanks for the video! We’re looking to get this for our 2006 GX. We’re also looking to get the 360 camera. You wouldn’t happen to be planning on making an installation video on that would you?? 😊
I will try to record a video on the 360 and upload it in the next month or so!
NK Autos thank you!! Do we need to order the CarPlay dongle as well? Phoenix automotive said that we don’t need it and that it will connect via Bluetooth. Also does the OBDII dongle work well with the PX6?
@@sephystar I have the Apple CarPlay dongle connected, but I have mostly just been using my Bluetooth. I do have a custom firmware installed that improves the units original CarPlay, but I did see that before installing the firmware there were some problems with connecting my phone. I think that the dongle has some better connection and an overall better layout if that’s what you are looking for!
Just ordered the PX6 and the 360 camera from Phoenix Automotive! Looking forward to your 360 camera installation! 😊
Keep posting up good content like this for the GX family 👌 💯
I have a few more things planned coming up!
Do your really need extra microphone?
Dosen't it has one?.
I like your video gave me great information.
Thank you
I included my mic in the install just to play it safe. I believe the mic on the unit doesn’t catch the audio as well as the external one does.
You can add the wireless apple CarPlay on the unit
Did your oem back up camera still worked after this?
Who do you recommend in Los Angeles to do my professional installation?
I don’t have anybody specific, but I would try to look for some audio repair shops or somebody who installs car stereos!
@@nkautos dude where are located? I would literally drive to you if you are anywhere on the east side of the Mississippi. I have a gx470
Does it have pre outs for an amp that would power a subwoofer?
James It does have some female RCA connectors for aftermarket speakers. I am guessing it does but I haven’t checked the back of the unit to double check
Can you tell us more about the carbon fiber wrap; it looks really nice and is something I'd want to do. I don't like the OEM wood colored panels.
I had the carbon wrap on for a month or so until I took it back off. It was a little too dark to match with the beige interior. I am planning on rewrapping it a different color in the future. It was a lot of work however. I would recommend getting some good 3M vinyl as the cheap ones will not stick well.
what kind of remote start you running? i wanted the new viper but it wasnt compatible due to the stock nav system
I installed the Viper 2-way remote with the 5701 kit. It was fairly simple to install once I got the dash mostly out.
Nice video, thank you! Is that actual wood trim or plastic that the aftermarket radio comes in? it's hard to tell and I'm not sure if you mentioned that during the video. if it's plastic, is it obvious that it's not wood?
Thank you for the comment! The trim the radio comes in is a black plastic. It is not real wood but it still feels good to the touch and doesn't feel cheap
Ok thanks I love how many times he said I'll do so!
Imagine how much more useful this video would be if he wasn’t using one hand to do everything.
I will try to have somebody help record in some future videos!
You spent more time showing how to install the microphone .That was not important
The metal frame and the 8mm socket is not needed for this install, did mine yesterday and wasted some time removing it
That is correct, I have had a couple people state that it helps with the rigidity but it doesn't give enough room for clearance or installing the unit.
So please let us know what are your thoughts after 2 years of use
Cons pros etc
Thanks
They are mostly good besides the audio quality over the OEM. I prefer the OEM radio. Besides that this is definitely an upgrade
The air conditioner is working or not because my car air conditioning is not working
All of the air controls are working for me. Try to play around in the system settings and changing around the model of vehicle. That’s what I did to get my climate control fully functional.
I have a 2007 lexus LX470 car tesla screen. lost car air conditioner. You know only me, please
Try to change the vehicle type in the advanced settings and it should make it so you can use the climate control.
@@nkautos What software do you usually install for lexus LX470 2007 car. Can you show me how to install that car like can you install it?
Man this car is like new.
How much is mileage?
Hello i have the same screen on land cruiser 2009
It was working fine until i removed the dashboard to change the heater radiator then when i was putting everything back in place the climate stopped working on the screen do u have any idea about this problem
Is there a way to reprogram..
You will need to go to user settings and type in 8861 for the code and then change the toyota Prado climate setting to the configuration I showed in the unit review video
Does this work with a 2003 Lexus gx470?
Yes, it should work on 03-09 Gx470
Excellent job!! I wish I can get someone to install one on my 04 GX470. It is quite a lot for me to attempt. Really detailed explanation.
Glad to help, I hope everything worked out for the best!
Does battery need to be disconnected while installing??
Yes, it is always a good idea to disconnect the battery before working on anything electrical
Do you remember how the oem clock dash was removed?
Does the climate control working? Does it show the temp on the screen?
WorldDweller Eveything works on the temperature buttons and on the screen. I’ve seen that it’s either a hit or miss with it working for some people.
@@nkautos any hard wiring involved? to make it work with touch buttons and on screen buttons. As I just bought the same unit. But tempreture definitely needs wiring. As I bought without the amplifier. As I don't have installed in my car which 2004 toyota prado 120 series.
That looks great!
That was incredible...👍🏾
Thank you! I’m glad you liked it!
Do you know if this I can bypass the amp if I install this?
There are a few female RCA connectors in the back of the unit that allow you to install an aftermarket amp!
Love this
As mentioned at the last portion of your clip, how is this product working out for you? I disassembled the old factory gps and radio already which your video helped a lot. What are some cons (if any) and pros. Thank you.#TeamLexus#GX
Yama Basir I made a video about my review of the unit. Not too bad overall, I have had some slight problems with the unit but I have worked out most kinks. The brightness being too bright in the night, the climate control not working and the speaker adjustment are all easy fixes. They just require some playing around with the settings. I think for the money the unit is solid, and an upgrade from the OEM screen for sure! If you have any questions feel free to leave a message and I’ll try to respond ASAP!
NK Autos touché 🔥👌🏼#LexusMafia
You are hard as hell to get in contact with LOL
Would it hurt if I use a heat gun to soften the panel’s up?
Shouldn’t hurt, but it would be easier to use some panel removing tools along with a suction cup if possible to make sure not to bend or warp the pieces
Good day, could you please advice, if native cd-changer and ceiling monitor are working after instalation?
I do not have the DVD player so I would not be able to let you know, but the CD player still does work with some editing in the settings menu.
@@nkautos thanks a lot))
Is the air conditioning con-trolls on this unit ?
Great job!! 👌🏽. How much in the head unit?
It costs around 300-400$.
Does the WIFI have anything to do with the functionality of the unit? I dont want Wifi emitted in my car for no reason. Seems pretty pointless?
If you want to use online services like Spotify, TH-cam, Netflix, or the navigation you will need either a hotspot or some sort of WiFi connection. If you are going to connect your phone through Apple play then you will only need your phone
@@nkautos The navigation needs wifi? I thought GPS and Wifi are seperate. Wouldnt the stock GPS system work without Wifi? I mean we never really have Wifi for GPS typically right?
Everything else Im okay with and honestly I guess i would be using carplay with my iphone anyway for Navigation
@@csgofordummies1239 The navigation system uses both the WiFi and the gps to work. I have tried to play around with it and without some sort of WiFi connection the system won’t show your location or anything on the navigation screen
Can you use the original DVD / Nav system from Toyota?
Bob Bonkowski I’m pretty sure you can still connect the DVD/infotainment system to the unit. The only think that does not work is the CD box in the glovebox.
Would like to hear the follow up thoughts on the device. Especially if it needs to be connected to a phone in any way to have maps running or does it plug in to the GX's GPS port? I have been waiting to add this to my '04 GX and this is getting me closer.
I have mad a separate video of my review and walkthrough of the unit. I think its a solid choice for an aftermarket system with many options when it comes to firmware updates and customizations.
What about the air conditioning or heat
Do you lose the climate control?
Does this system still control the climate?
Yes, it does. I haven't had any problems with it so far. I included a few settings regarding climate control within my walkthrough video of this unit
Almost the perfect video tutorial for the px6, connecting the harness unit to the gx would have made it a little easier for some. I'm sure everyone has different setup on their gx and it may vary a little. All in all great video man it really help me sort some missing harness on my unit. When i bought my gx it came with this p6x unit and previous install was a total mess. watching your tutorial helped me complete a proper install
Thank you for the kind comment. I agree I could have included the harness connections. All the plugs have different connections so it just depends on matching them. I had a big mess behind the unit after connecting all the plugs and thought it would be a little confusing to show. I have some better video gear now and will be able to record in more detail while showing all the necessary steps!
Thank you for the great video. I used this and the Phoenix Automotive video to help me with my install. Unfortunately, my screen is not powering up at the moment. I am trying to trace this down but its frustrating I have an 07 and there are two connectors on the stock harness that appear to be unused on this installation, but I cant help but wonder if I am missing something else.
I just solved my own problem! I went through all the parts and found a 15A blade fuse in a bag. There is a spot for it right under one of the connectors. I popped it in and it fired right up!
I'm sorry about not getting back to you, I'm glad you where able to figure out your problem!
Best install on a gx , you know your vehicle!!!!
Thank you I appreciate it!
can you use this same unit with the 2007 gx470? also do you know where you can have the installation done for you?
This will fit a 2007, I would try to check an automotive shop or a stereo place for help!
@@nkautos will this unit not fit the 2005?
@@ClearWater7.62 It should fit, I would check the specifications on the website
I'm finding the audio out of my unit is quite noisy. Followed some tips around setting the volume level on the stock unit to 38 before changing it. Wondering if anyone can speak to the audio quality of theirs having compared e.g. the sound coming out of the cd changer vs. spotify?
I momentarily got a yatour bluetooth unit to work and the OEM with a digital signal sounded awesome. Incidentally - this seemed to stop working when I removed some wiring for an aftermarket sirius radio (the cradle was taking up space). I disconnected that thing and the CD button started reporting "the external device is not connected".
Use the old changer. I just installed one from Phoenix and if at the top toolbar you go to Console then go to Amp Info, then above that something shows up saying Dish dish - click on Dish dish - That is where I found the CD controls. Thankfully I didn’t take the CD player out. It’s working on mine.
How did your audio work out? Screwing up the OEM audio is a deal breaker for me.
Omg
The Tesla style screen is only applicable on GX470? What about 2014 GX460?
A. Muhammad They do have a screen available for the gx460 aswell! It is listed on the Pheonix automotive website
@@nkautos Thanks
A. Muhammad no problem! If you have any more questions feel free to leave a comment!
Can you just do it for me
Is there a way to dim down the brightness,?
There should be an option in the top left corner to dim down the screen.
Does your factory CD Changer work with this setup?
Quick question, I bought a Bluetooth and a WiFi adapter. I installed my WiFi adapter by the driver side where you normally plug in a computer to run a diagnosis. But I can’t find a place to install the Bluetooth adapter. Is there another area where I can?
Yammii Habibi the Bluetooth adapter should plug into the usb wires that are connected to the unit. In the video you can see I leave my cable in the glovebox. Make sure to connect them through there it will be easiest!
NK Autos ok thank you. How do I connect to the navigation system? Like I’m clicking on it and it says it can’t be connected and try again later. Is there a place on the settings for me to go?
Yammii Habibi you have to be connected to an internet connection to be able to access the navigation. Try connecting to a hotspot or an internet connection and try again
NK Autos it worked when I tried my hotspot. Thank you. Last question. My radio... it static’s. It’s odd because everything else works except the radio. Any suspicious on what could be the cause? I contacted Phoenix Automotive and they mentioned it could be the radios antenna. Which I can’t find the exact location of it.
Yammii Habibi the antenna should be connected in the back. It is the piece that you screw on. Is should be black and have a golden connector. Do all of the stations have static or is it only a few?
Awesome 👏🏻 best looking deck homie excellent
Thank you!
What is the brand of stereo is this??
I have the link to the site in the video description!
Dude, you are supposed to retro fit the metal cage/bracket from the left and right side of the old radio to this new one. There are no screws holding the new center unit into the dash!
I’ve had no problems yet! But I have been thinking about somehow connecting the bracket. I asked Pheonix and they said that the unit will be held up by the clips alone with no problem. Did you mount up the bracket to your unit?
I just did the install and tried to install with the original bracket but it will fit properly and the mounting holes do not match up. It can probably be modified to work but it seems fine without it.
How much is it$?
I included the unit and the price in the video description link!
@@nkautos it’s not a direct link
Will this Tesla navigation work on a 03' GX470 Non-Nav model?
Yes it should work as long as you chose the option for the non-nav unit. There are a couple wiring differences in the back but that should be included in the kit when you order it
@@nkautos Okay thanks! Is there good amount of amp power on the unit to keep good power the speakers? Also, have you experienced any software glitches?
Loved it! You guys were awesome as always
Thank you! I appreciate your kind words!
Is there a dimming feature?
There is a dimming function in the base unit but you can install an app that I prefer to use. I have it linked in my review video.
Nice! What if you don’t have the navigation stock one ?
I believe there is an option that allows you to get this unit if you do not have factory NAV.
just curious may fit on 4 gen 4runner?🤔🤔🤔🤔
I don't think this specific one will but I do believe that they have a model that will fit your 4runner on the website!
@@nkautos Thank you 👍
How much are these??
Depends on which website you chose to buy yours on. Its usually around 300-400$.
