Has anyone put the 12.3" Land Cruiser touchscreen head unit into a 1958?

Yes, I knew the 1958 had an 8" screen, and it is one of the first things I wanted to change. I am glad it is possible, and will be doing it soon. I did not care too much about what the other trims offered, so decided to go with the 1958, but the screen was a big issue for me.

Wow. Looks great, display resolution looks good.

Does it run smoothly? How about sound quality in music and calls?

I wish I could replace for the original Toyota 12.3, but seems unlikely in the near term given how hard it is to find parts for LC250 and that this would require dealer unlock.

I purchased aftermarket wireless charging that I copied from another post, looks pretty decent but does require some diy and adjustments, will send pictures in a minute.

Just did a search, and it seems that this is what needs to be done to install it.



Does not look difficult at all. I might pull the plug on this one. I hate the small screen, I wish I could do the cluster as well. LOL

The installer in the video does not install a brand new 12.3" Toyota screen, they reuse the stock 1958 8" screen after installing an amplifier behind the head unit. You can tell by the big side pieces and volume knob.

I was just looking for a video that would show how to remove the head unit, and this one popped up, which does what I wanted to learn.
