Frequently Asked Questions
How will this fit into my vehicle?

Do you have any head units with a larger screen?

Is the unit plug and play?
Not exactly. It is a universal unit designed to fit a wide range of vehicles. The connection it comes with is a universal style ISO plug, so many different Aerpro adaptors are available to make it plug and play for your specific vehicle.
Most Aerpro harnesses with APP at the start of the model number do not include plug and play for steering wheel controls. If you opt for an APP Aerpro harness you will need to hardwire in your steering wheel controls (if applicable). We can order specific Aerpro harnesses with steering wheel controls. Please reach out to us at info@4x4downunder.com.au.
For most Toyota vehicles with a 200mm wide radio, our Toyota Luxx will fit. For older Toyota vehicles with the 177mm radio, we do have wiring harnesses available.
Do I need any extra parts to fit this into my vehicle?
Some vehicles do require extra parts for the Universal Luxx to fit. Some require fascia surrounds or complete installation kits, and some may also need radio antenna adaptors. For Toyota vehicles with a 200mm wide radio, we have our Toyota Luxx that will fit straight into your Toyota.
How much warranty does the unit come with?
2 years.
Does it come with any navigation?
The Universal Luxx now comes standard with Wireless CarPlay and Wired Android Auto built in. We do have other mapping options available at an extra cost.

Do I need internet connectivity for the TomTom maps?

Does the ExploreOz Traveller app work with your head unit?
Yes, we have worked with the developers to ensure their app works with our head unit. ExploreOz Traveller is a great mapping system for both on and off road with good reviews. It might be worth checking out if you want a mapping system that provides the best of both worlds. Please note that there are a few settings that need to be changed, which we can advise at the time of purchase.
What is CarPlay and Android Auto?
Apple CarPlay lets you use a selection of your iPhone's functions directly through your car's built-in infotainment system. It is often more user-friendly and faster to respond than the standard features built into many infotainment systems.
