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!
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 🤣🤣💕
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.
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! ❤️🧡💛💙💚💜🖤🤎🤍💕✨🇦🇺
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.
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 👍🏼
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
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.
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 👍🏻😎
@@steveward7331 the ecu plug under your right leg sitting in the driver’s seat, this is where the car is read at the wshop to fault find, normally this is where you would plug into your ultra gauge like Justin has to look at any faults, with the screen you can buy a adapter to read via blue tooth and have it on the new screen as a option, if you look on there website it show you these available, I bought this option for having torque converter temp etc for when I’m towing the caravan up steep hills etc, I will install next week and email you the video what I have if you want, kind regards Jeff 👍🏻😎
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!
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.
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...
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 👍
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.
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.
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.
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 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!
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.
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.
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 🤙🏽
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 !
I’m guessing that with the sim in it would be like having your standard gps connected to your Toyota link app, it allows you to search businesses online and then access their location data. It’s a very handy but underutilized system because in general the Toyota tech is so slow but with Apple car play etc, you can basically do the same thing without having to have a dedicated sim.
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.
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
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! 🍻
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
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!
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.
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
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!
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.
Hi Justin fantastic video? How dose the reverse camera gi through that screen . Also do you have a camera on the Van and is that wired I to the new head unit.
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'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 discount code. Mine should turn up in about 6weeks they say. Do you have a rear view camera on the back of your van and if so does the radio etc still work while driving along with the camera on ?
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.
Hi Justin, I have been desperately disappointed in the LC head unit. I am now sold on changing it out thanks to your review! One question, how much is it visually impacted with the auto dimming in daytime with headlights on? We also have an old Prado that we put in another brand screened head unit but auto dimming in daytime driving with headlights on, makes seeing the screen far too dark and difficult to see.
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, just wondering a year on how do you find this head unit? Just bought a 200 and are looking at getting one of these but have heard good and bad reviews.
Looks great but from my previous experience with upgrading the stereo in 2011 200 series, can this new unit you installed be fully controlled from the controls on the steering wheel?
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!
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.
Did the same thing- paid a heap for a 200 series with a POS head unit, binned it and fitted a kenwood system and have never looked back. Toyota what are you thinking that the system you fit is good.
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.

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
True hey, they seem better spec’d up in other countries
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.

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

Great video mate. Inspired me to change out mine in my budget Mq triton. Safe travels.
I don’t even own a cruiser but still watched the whole thing haha 🍻
Thanks for the video!

Still a few weeks away from it arriving, but looking forward to seeing it in action.
Thanks legend! 🍻
Cheers mate, hope the install helps
@@TripInAVan I’ll let you know 🤙🏼
For the internet, do you just hotspot off your phone for the unit?
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
Bloody excellent mate, I've got a 10 inch in my 80 and it's the ducks nuts.
Mate, best installation video that I’ve seen 🤙
Cheers for the feedback mate
Good Vid Justin. Love the look on your face when you first saw all the wires and plugs...Genuine concern..LOL
Not gonna lie! I was a bit worried😂😂

Keep the post coming.
Yeah it just runs off the software already installed on unit. Don’t need mobile service 👍
Just bought one for my 79 series thanks for the code!! Can't wait
It's a long wait incase didnt know 👌
Hey guys, how's the unit going now it's been in the car for a while? Looking at doing one myself and yours looks great
Goin strong mate hey. The hands free mobile phone setups not that great, might be the microphone I think. Other than that it’s been sweet
@@TripInAVan Cheers mate, yeah read a few stories about a few things playing up on them.
I can't even find what brand they are
great video - keep itup - got get one of them 13.5 inch upgrades
Looks awesome. Might even get their upgrade for the VX, the standard Toyota unit looks ok but it’s useless.
Oh true! Pretty poor for a vx
@@TripInAVan Ms Google gives you a warning 300 meters before the turn, Toyota tells you to turn just after you go past !

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

Hot tip, make sure DVD's and or CD's are out of the old head unit before unplugging
What are these CD’s you speak of?
@@w_stanky 😂😂
Hey Brother you will be very happy with the new head unit cheers 🍻
Cheers
Awesome install Justin. Great job 🤙
Looks great! The discount code isn't working anymore, though? Has it finished? Thanks
It should work. It will be either Tripinavan or tiav10
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.
Bout 2 hours man hey
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.
Thats bloody brilliant 👍👍
Thanks guys, you saved me $240 off my new head unit.
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 great! What a device! Technology these days is insane!
Epic looks heaps better mate nice work 🙏🤙🇦🇺
Thanks heaps
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.
Awesome bit of kit!!
So good
Looks great. Does this unit fit a 2021 GX Land Cruiser?
Yeah mate it would 👍
Hi Justin fantastic video? How dose the reverse camera gi through that screen .
Also do you have a camera on the Van and is that wired I to the new head unit.
great job mate, how do find the screen, it looks a bit reflective, is it glary?
It’s fine hey. I think most of the reflection was because I had a light on the GoPro when filming
Looks awesome Justin. Might upgrade mine. Thanks for the info.
Great vid Justin, looks mint now
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!
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 🎉👏
Yeah mate mine has wheel controls as standard. I know you can replace the steering wheel as well hey, not sure how hard that would be though
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 mate yeah I took your recommendation. Good unit and looks schmicko
Thanks for the discount code. Mine should turn up in about 6weeks they say. Do you have a rear view camera on the back of your van and if so does the radio etc still work while driving along with the camera on ?
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.
Thought I seen you on the news helping with the floods, turned out to be Pat Rafter, lol.
Hi Justin, I have been desperately disappointed in the LC head unit. I am now sold on changing it out thanks to your review! One question, how much is it visually impacted with the auto dimming in daytime with headlights on? We also have an old Prado that we put in another brand screened head unit but auto dimming in daytime driving with headlights on, makes seeing the screen far too dark and difficult to see.
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 🤷♂️
Great update. Wondering if the average fuel consumption and other measurements the GXL doesn't normally give you display on this head unit
They don’t mate hey. You might be able to add it somehow but I’m not sure. You’d have to contact ec offroad
Great job you made it look so easy. Well done. Was there extra connections to add more cameras? For 360 degree views
I got the same Head Unit. OEM is crap. Stoked with it best upgrade
Well done mate ,I would have shit myself when I seen the wiring harnessing
Hi Justin, just wondering a year on how do you find this head unit? Just bought a 200 and are looking at getting one of these but have heard good and bad reviews.
Ours has been great mate hey. I’ve seen the bad reviews as well, but mines been sweet
Well done that was very interesting ,and I love how you give everything a go 🇦🇺 loving your wonderful family adventure.🦋🐬🍷🍷🌺
Thanks mate
Great vid! Is this unit good for iPhone or mainly android?
Mainly sndroid
Thank you!
Was waiting for this install..thank mate
Looks great but from my previous experience with upgrading the stereo in 2011 200 series, can this new unit you installed be fully controlled from the controls on the steering wheel?
Yeah it works with my steering wheel controls hey
Hi Justin, this looks fantastic, also where did you get your dash matt from?
It’s from ocam4x4
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!
It should be current all the time mate hey
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.
So far the only con I can think of is I would like a volume knob🤙
what a life of Riley you have so lucky
Thanks mate ... you saved me a couple of hundred!
Go for there dash cluster as well mint👌🏼
I should have gotten one ages ago for my 2014 GXL.
Yeah I’m spewin I didn’t do it 2 years ago when I got the car hey🤙
Cheers, just bought one, discount worked sweet 🤙
Did the same thing- paid a heap for a 200 series with a POS head unit, binned it and fitted a kenwood system and have never looked back. Toyota what are you thinking that the system you fit is good.
