MY21 GX

According to the interwebs, the MY21 GX manual points to a carryover of the model. No mention of Apple Carplay or Android Auto.

Still waiting for the multimedia manual to go live to seal carryover status.

Only item I saw so far is an additional alert with RCTA

 

[suxeL]

Is the multimedia manual different from the regular manual? If there the same, their no indication of any changes.

 

[Bauri88073]

It tends to be more granular than the other manuals for items outside of separate navigation manual but not anticipating anything else different from options than the small RCTA change.

Perhaps we will see some package options shuffled up? Offer off-road package on a base model? A Crawl/MTS switch exists for non-AVS/RAHC models in the middle east.

Existing 2020 Crawl/MTS switch - off-road package

Crawl switch options for '10-'19

Yea for some reason I have been reading the MY20 GXes wiring has been reworked extensively. This has resulted in the switch no longer working on the NADM where it had been a plug and play in previous MYs. The only way to get crawl and MTS is soley by purchasing the Luxury trim ($13k extra).

MTS ECU no longer exists separately and appears to be embedded into the skid control ECU off of the master cylinder. Crawl switch wiring is present from existing switch to driver side kick panel but wiring is absent further to the skid control ECU in engine bay. Assuming the logic is present this is a far more invasive mod and will probably be a while before we know for sure.
