1958 Trim - Screen & Front Camera Upgrade

Little to do with the LC, but I have their Compressed Air Duster and the thing is a beast!

 
With the replacement mirrors do they have the homelink/garage door opener built in. If not are you all just using door openers on you visors?
 
I would love to hear more information about the CTH setup, how difficult is it to install and configure, etc.
Removal of panels is always a pain but doable for novice. Plug and play with in screen settings to adjust. Car play works great.
 
What is a CTH screen? Where do you get it? What are the features? Does it have line outs for audio? Does it retain factory functionality?

This thread is the only one that comes up when I search for it.

EDIT: After some searching, I assume it's this:


Looks like it's just a replacement for the factory screen with factory hookups?

How well does it work? Any lag? Where's the on/off and volume knob?

I just installed this on Friday on my 1958. Posted it on the main thread of “What did I do today?” There’s no lag and actually a very responsive head unit. I got the basic one just because I wanted it as a dummy unit so I can use CarPlay. CarPlay works wired and wirelessly. It was a little confusing at first setting it up with the wires as there are no instructions, but once you start plugging things in, it kind of makes sense. So yes, it is plug-in play and retains all (except for mic) functionality, including the steering wheel. On/off and volume button is all touch on the left-hand side. Overall, it’s a pretty solid unit. My only gripe is you lose the OEM mic and the one on the head unit is dog shit. So my workaround is when I answer a call I have to switch to the mic on my phone. Back up camera quality is super grainy apparently it is meant for the 8 inch. Currently in talks with the vendor to see what options are out there and what other customers have done as a workaround. I’m hoping for something that is plug-in play OEM style.

Thanks.

Seems like the only benefit then is a larger screen? No more advanced audio outs? Curious if they've somehow copied the factory-hardwired EQ for the audio, or if it's more just a flat frequency.

sorry can’t answer that one as I also added a beat sonic preamp during the install.
