    I think everyone is ready to be proven wrong, but there’s plenty to be skeptical about considering the lack of information and it’s all you’ve posted about.

    Looks sweet tho. Definitely interested in more.

    Totally unrelated to the OP, I found this same company. I have been talking to them (owner Greg) for a couple of weeks as they finished up the complete package they are offering. I have a unit shipping to me to me tomorrow or later this week. Nice to see that someone else took the plunge first. I will update when I get it and install it.

    I am getting the same unit. Shipping later this week. Did you have to run a separate microphone with this kit. I am unclear on that part.

    yes I did. you are gonna love it!! I do for sure!! They said they were working on one and was hoping to finish it soon. Would be a great way to round the kit out but all I did was buy an extra phone cable and left it permanently plugged into the usb cable they provided.

    Damn I thought this had promise. I really don’t want to run an extra mic

    Santiago was a great help. Can he get on here though? I thought these forums crapped all over companies selling products and kicked them out?

    I put the mic above my steering column so it was an extra 5 min and you cant even really see it. I hear u though but it honestly wasnt that bad.

    In response to kakwvu, I could post about the blindspot side cameras I added too thru my factory radio that turn on with my turn signals!? Ive had them for a year though and kinda forgot about it. Then can I be part of the inner sanctum?? [​IMG]

    Ill ask him. Im sure he'd at least chime in. He sounded more techy then a seller anyways. At least thats what I gathered.

    FWIW: I was put in contact with Greg at GCH by the Korean manufacturer, NV Connect (http://www.nvconnect.co.kr/board/free/read.html?no=17&board_no=3001).

    Member "Kwisak" posted on this site a while back about NV Connect having an option for the Tacoma (https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/stock-head-unit-apple-car-play.576677/). No one wanted to risk ordering from Korea including me. I emailed them about six weeks ago and asked if they had a vendor in the US. They said they were in the process and gave me the number and email for Greg at GCH. I have been waiting for about three weeks for GCH to have the kit ready. Greg is shipping it out tomorrow. Looks like I will be guinea pig #2.

    I am always skeptical. GCH seems to be more of a distributor that direct seller. I did find this as I researched the owner and the company: https://www.forbes.com/sites/lianey...end-the-right-hook-for-cyclists/#16b163cb1983. Made me feel a little better that they exist.

    I received the kit today. This is what is in the box. I have to wait until Thursday to do the install due to work schedule. We are doing it at a friend's stereo shop so that way we have anything else we might need.
