Have just installed mine today thanks to your video. Shits all over the ones that come from the suppliers. BIG issue however was with the reversing camera. I found that the factory plug had another plug in it which had a much smaller plug on the other end that matched nothing. I couldn't get the reversing camera to work. SOLUTION: Remove the patch lead to the smaller plug and the new unit plug fits straight into the larger factory plug. Hope this helps someone and saves the 2 hours I spend trying to work it out!

Ok So just an update, I ordered one of these units, they were out of stock so it too 8 weeks to get it but it was so worth the wait. The unit is awesome and your video is a great video on how easy it is to install. It really made the difference and I referred to it more than theres. The only thing is based on how it comes in the box. There are some components which were loose in mine and were not easily explained or knew where to go but in the end I worked it all out. To all the other people out there, I am one of the least mechanically minded people and I found it very easy, all up it was installed from start to finish in just over an hour and thats because I could not get the reversing camera to work so I had to tinker until I found out what was missing being a square module which had no reference or labelling. I eventuality saw on a video where it went. I probably could have done it all in around 35 to 45 minutes. I am sure thats how long it will take me to do my neighbours car who will want one when he sees mine. Safe travels and keep up the great work.

When I was growing up my mother taught everyone of us how to wire up an electric plugin, those days when you bought anything electrical it didn’t come with a plug, she was forever giving us a lecture about looking for a screwdriver instead of using the knives, you brought back a memory with the butter knife 🤣🤣💕

Hi Justin, just wanted to say a big thank you - been looking to replace the amazingly frustrating head unit in my LC200 for quite some time. Your vid led me to get the 12inch head unit installed by EC Offroad. I saved some good money thanks to you and I could not be more happy with the unit and the service from EC Offroad.

G’day y’all! Just wanna inform ya that because of you, you have inspired my parents and all of my family to move into a caravan! It may be a bit hard since we own a huge medium furred senior German Shepard, a fish and 3 children, I’m quite excited to spend the rest of my childhood exploring Australia! You really make my family’s day when you post and I hope you continue to do what your doing! ❤️🧡💛💙💚💜🖤🤎🤍💕✨🇦🇺

We have had the 10 inch for about 12 mths, which EC Off-road installed for me. We had them hook up the camera for the rear of the van, so we could get rid of another screen off the dash.

we can see you are now doing all the dishes making the beds cleaning the van for the next 52 weeks to be back in the good books for spending all that money love your work stay safe

Just so everyone is aware, the discount code still works today 05/05/2024. I managed to save a whopping. 374.99 on a 16in screen, traffic cam and reverse cam so thanks a bunch TIIV as I was about to pay full price regardless.

Great video. Thank you. This inspires confidence! Just taking delivery of a LC200 4.6 V8 VX 2011 vintage. But the key unique point is the 15" screen built into the dash. It is good to know there is a community that can help support this - and established suppliers and replacement parts are there. In our country - we would get an electrician to fix. Buut good to know what he is doing...in there.

Oh what a feeling putting that thing in the bin!!!. Handy tip. Taking a photo of where all the old plugs and wires are located before the dismantling can be handy especially if one's brain is wired like mine. Lol 😆. Cheers 🍻

Unreal how easy that was Justin, I ordered the 12 “ inch , should be here Monday!! Thanks for the discount I saved around $ 250 👍🏻I ordered the blue tooth adapter for the ecu reader and built in so I can watch transmission temp etc, thanks ya bloody legend 👍🏻😎

Awesome, heard stories that some brands say they are plug and play but aren’t. Thanks for the vid and discount code, awesome how you guys can give back to the followers 👍🏼

very few vehicles have a good head unit, I now use an old 10" android tablet and just bluetooth it to the head unit for the sound, probably not as good as replacing with an up market headunit but a lot cheaper. and the tablet I use allows me to split screen so i can run 2 apps at the same time, a handy feature.

I have been looking at getting one of these for a while but was concerned about fitting it myself. Living in SA I thought next time I am in Vic I would get them to fit it. after seeing your video I will just order one and do it myself. Thanks for the great video and keep up the great work.

Haha, awesome, was waiting patiently for this, they do make replacement units alot easier to install these days with these adapter harnesses. The trick is knowing where to undo the trim - good thing we have youtube.Looks super neat and factory, enjoy!

Im never going to do this in my life but i followed along from start to finish, even paused to read the bits left out...lol...great little vid 👍

Justin I have a 2007 Sahara and the head unit was damaged and I see they have a new 16 inch unit just available now for 2007 - 2015 Sahara. A replacement from Toyota is approximately $8,500.00 and still old tech. The Sahara is different to VX & GXL because the air con controls are in the touch screen. Ordering mine tomorrow. Many thanks 👍

I started laughing when I saw this video, as the last video of yours I watched was the review and walk around where you weren't happy with the head unit. I guess you got your way... love it!

Wow, such a difference, they don't do my 2013 Kluger Grande, only 2014+, have emailed them, need to upgrade mien. 100% the Toyota units are crap. Love all the videos too guys... one day we'll be doing exactly like you, travelling with a Caravan...

Nice work Justo. Auto Leccy now. The boy can do it all. Great vid mate.

Thanks heaps Justin just ordered mine today for my 200 and got over $200 off, great vid thanks again. I think I will spend some of the money I saved on beer and watch some more Trip in a Van vids.

Great job mate. The sad part of buying a vehicle in a lesser country like Australia we get bugger all compared to the rest of the world

Just finishing up a 10” head unit install into a Toyota Prado Kakadu, thanks for the discount code🥳 My kit didn’t have a Canbox, but EC offroad were straight onto it with no arguments. Looking forward to having it all up and running.

Uncanny timing, I was just looking into android audio units for my vehicle. Awesome thanks.

That’s awesome, just put it on the 200 series upgrade list

"like a glove" 😆 looks so much better.. keep up the good work!!

Mate, got up Sunday morning with a couple of dozen things to do, while I'm eating my wheaties checked some stuff on the 'pute first and there you are with your new unit, and I'm ten minutes into the install before I remember all the stuff I'm s'posed to do. Mate you're like Nat'swhatIreckon; once you get into it a bloke has to tear himself away. Oh, and congrats on the new unit, love the way you consigned the old one to the shitbin. I'll bet Toyota will be pleased too, eh.

I like your content Justin but think you should mount the mic in front of the steering wheel. I have an EC Off Road unit in my 100 series and agree they are great.

Good Vid Justin. Love the look on your face when you first saw all the wires and plugs...Genuine concern..LOL

Great video, but I reckon the 3G /4g antenna you stuck into the bottom of the head unit would be better on the top rather than stuck underneath the head unit for reception? But if it’s working then happy days, cheers you’ve inspired us to do a lap at some point in the future!! Keep it up !

Mate I feel your pain… when I brought mine GXL the sales lad @ Toyota showed me through the VX and I picked my car up I asked what happen with the head unit lol but yeah mate for the money you spend on 200LC they need to give you a better head unit. It’s the first thing I look at every time I get in lol. Great vid mate enjoy the new clean look 🤙🏽

Hey Jus, use a filed down chop stick, like you can get when buying sushi, made of bamboo and will save any scratches on your plastics.

Thanks for the video! I ordered mine after I saw the Insta story you put up originally - handy discount 😉 Still a few weeks away from it arriving, but looking forward to seeing it in action. Thanks legend! 🍻

Good job well done. Must agree we have a GXL and for the price of a 200 they come with a pretty crap unit.

Great video. I’m on my 3rd cruiser and Toyota should be ashamed of themselves that their units don’t do what cruiser buyers need.

ThAnks guys, just purchased the same 10” radio. Thanks for the code you guys are bloody legends. Love the new abode too.

Thanks Justin, my hubby has just purchased one for my 200 series, hope he can install it as easy as you did🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great video. EC Offroad need to have you doing install videos for everything :-)

Thanks mate. Have not done many mods to my stock GXL besides a bar and suspension upgrade. I bought the car new in 2018 and the head unit has always been a source of disappointment for me. Anyways just took the plunge and used your code on the 10 inch and HD reverse camera. So the journey begins :) cheers

Hey Brother you will be very happy with your new head unit cheers 🍻 🍺🍺

Mate, best installation video that I’ve seen 🤙

Hot tip, make sure DVD's and or CD's are out of the old head unit before unplugging

Great video mate. Inspired me to change out mine in my budget Mq triton. Safe travels.

Haaa nice mate just purchased a unit for my 2015 gxl got email back from supplier saying because of your vid they have sold out 6/8 week wait for the goodness u are to good a salesman lol. Love ya work.

We’ve ordered the VX model 300 series land cruiser and it has a much more comprehensive head unit than the GXL! GPS all standard in the VX and above. The GXL still only have the basic unit. Still waiting for it to arrive!

Looks awesome. Might even get their upgrade for the VX, the standard Toyota unit looks ok but it’s useless.

I don’t even own a cruiser but still watched the whole thing haha 🍻

Fantastic real world install, the only thing I would suggest is to change your mic mount to be Velcro backed n put it on your dashmat or put it on the side of your air vent on the drivers side

Well done that was very interesting ,and I love how you give everything a go 🇦🇺 loving your wonderful family adventure.🦋🐬🍷🍷🌺

Great vid. 100% agree about the factory unit. This has inspired me to do the same.

Those plastic clips holding it in won’t last on corrugations, there’s a reason Toyota used the additional brackets for support

Hope you plugged in the little plug in that top cover. That would be doing your auto headlights.

Thanks guys, you saved me $240 off my new head unit.

Hey Brother you will be very happy with the new head unit cheers 🍻

Just bought one for my 79 series thanks for the code!! Can't wait

I should have gotten one ages ago for my 2014 GXL.

great video - keep itup - got get one of them 13.5 inch upgrades

I use the flat panel removal tool to spread margarine & butter on my toast. 😄😄

Ripper info mate! Best video cruiser dash replacements ever.

Epic looks heaps better mate nice work 🙏🤙🇦🇺

Those head units look great. I am just about ready for a new one. I like the harnesses, all the others I have installed before have taken an hour or more buggering around with soldering and crimping a thousand wires.

saving weight for ya gvm with that new unit haha

Bloody excellent mate, I've got a 10 inch in my 80 and it's the ducks nuts.

Thought I seen you on the news helping with the floods, turned out to be Pat Rafter, lol.

Awesome bit of kit!!

I've got the 12inch from EC Offroad. Same thing but taller I guess, only time you'd notice a difference is when using mapping. Pretty sure I might have recommended this EC mob to you.. The reviews of the *300* series show the new one still has a crappy radio, Toyota are still stuffing the pooch. They should be ashamed of themselves!

Thanks for the down to earth fitting of this unit - I'd have to agree that the standard unit is crap, can't even get the reversing lines (if you need them of course) doesn't come standard on this model was what Toyota told me but come standard in a Yaris or Corolla. But one question nothing to do with the head unit where did you get your coffee cup from its look pretty solid......and keep the vids coming. Best wishes from Burpengary

Thats bloody brilliant 👍👍

Get a data SIM from Aldi to extend that smile further than you thought was possible, particularly since you have Apple phones. Great for Hema Maps or monitoring storms on the BOM radar while driving through them.

agree

Awesome install Justin. Great job 🤙

Well done mate ,I would have shit myself when I seen the wiring harnessing

Thanks Justin, great vid.. great that Bec finally caved and let you get your dream mod. Have just ordered mine, huge thanks for discount made my miso happy. Did your gxl have steering wheel controls as standard as my 2016 gxl didn’t have any - do you think you can upgrade the wheel? Can’t wait for the improvement over the crap headie - hope Toyota are watching 🎉👏

I My wife said I got to stop watching these videos it’s costing us a fortune. Oh well.

😂😂😂 this is a job you have been wanting to do for a while

Yes 😎👍 I bought a brand new GXL single cab and 🤷‍♂️ it’s top of the rang Ute 🤷‍♂️ comes with crappy head unit . My wife bought a CF-R top of the range but half the price of my GXL And has every thing 🤷‍♂️ GPS , maps , good radio , electric seat adjuster, etc, etc..... everything plus at half the cost 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️. Any way yes I’ve bought the PVS head unit . 😐😬 yeh 😏 still got to fit it , but got two reverse cameras too 😎👍 yeh Toyota got to lift their game 🤷‍♂️

Hi Justin, great vid, I've too have been looking for a replacement, this looks really good. Could you do a pros and cons video, all I see so far are pros, but I realise there could be cons too, anyway thanks old mate.

The website isn't that good for Vids so thanks for this. Just ordered with the code so hoping it's just as easy for me. Appreciated.

Was waiting for this install..thank mate

Cool stuff thank you for this video 🙌🥰😉🧤👒🐨🦘🇦🇺Karen from Port Macquarie 😎☀️

Looks great! One thing which I’d like your thoughts on is the lack of a volume knob. This is my pet hate with my 2018 HiLux. I’d give anything to get a real knob 😆

what a life of Riley you have so lucky

Hi Justin, great post and helped a great deal. question please. The GPS app - is it running from the unit and which app do you use? Can you use it without 4g This will be a great help.. Thanks, Tony Keep the post coming.

My 02 cruiser had a cassette player in it std....like they were ever going to make a come back.

I got the same Head Unit. OEM is crap. Stoked with it best upgrade

Street food with Sunny Side

Hey Justin - i've got a couple of questions for you: 1 - the blurb on the website says it is wired only for Android Play - can you confirm if it is wireless as well please? 2 - is the Hema Onroad / Offroad Module compatible with this unit? Hema promote the use of the Aerpro unit, but I believe that will only accept 2 camera's. It also doesn't have the Sim card adapter, but I've seen in the comments earlier that you have not bothered with the sim card - why is that? Hoping you can get back to me in the next day or 2, as I'm now more keen than ever to do the upgrade. Love the channel - Cheers!

Very nice! Thank you for the demonstration!

Great video. Always worried about pulling stuff off and those stupid clips.

Hi Justin, this looks fantastic, also where did you get your dash matt from?

thanks mate just ordered mine for my colorado .... great discount

Great video. Ordered from EC immediately after watching but alas…. None available for 12 weeks!

Looks great mate!!

Looks awesome Justin. Might upgrade mine. Thanks for the info.

That looks so much better. Hope it's as easy as you make it look. Can you run obd2 data straight to head unit? Same with tpms? If so then a quick video on that would be great.

Hey man plenty of positive praise for the video I purchased mine and it arrived today. Could you let me know how long it took to install unit.

great detailed, useful instructional video. Thank you

Hi Justin, I’ve watched your video twice about replacing the head unit in your 200 series Landcruiser and love it! What I would like to know is, how long does the 15% discount offer last? Cheers mate, love your work!

Great vid Justin, looks mint now

Looks great! What a device! Technology these days is insane!
