This is a step by step install tutorial and review for the AliExpress EKIY T7 head unit. These instructions are specifically for 2003-2004 Lexus GX470s, 05+ instructions may differ as they have slightly different wiring harnesses. This is the best nav to non nav conversion alternative on the market because it updates to a modern head unit with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto while retaining physical AC controls.
It is recommended that you remove your stock NAV unit before purchasing, take a photo of the serial number sticker on the factory display unit, and send it to the EKIY seller immediately after purchasing to ensure they mail you the correct harness for your specific GX depending on the year.

THANK YOU, I have the EKIY T900 which looks to be the exact headunit as this one and I could not figure out how to get the HVAC working for the last few months despite my efforts to communicate with the EKIY seller. I won't be able to try this for the next week or so, but I'm sure that my issue was the one you mentioned in the video since the harness looks the same.
Thank you for making this.
I don't believe “the link is in the description”
