I'm also looking at this head unit for a 2014 Kakadu. Did you end up purchasing it? It says on their website that rear DVD will not work with this head unit. Not sure I'm ok with that, but if every other feature on the Kakadu works with it, I may consider rear DVD replacement.

Yes, absolutely fine. Any questions just call or email Vhedia. They have lots of videos on various topics. Overall I’m very pleased, installed June 2023

I have just installed a very similar unit in my 2019 Prado Kakadu, known as a 10.1" Big Screen Android 12.0 Car GPS Stereo for 2018 1n3 2019 Prado from Joying Auto. About USD500 direct from the Joying Chinese Warehouse. Arrived in 2 weeks, well packaged and complete with instructions and plug and play cable adaptors. Easy installation and set up, and completely upgrades everything wrong with the Toyota head unit. Pics attached showing how well the unit matches the factory dash. The screen is super bright and sharp, good contrast and fast and smooth acting. Factory camera works fine as well as the 360 view. The unit interfaces faultlessly with the cars canbus so all steering wheel controls work perfectly, as does the proximity sensors. All android apps work super well, android auto works wirelessly faultlessly (presume apple carplay will work equally as well) but I use a separate SIM card so it all works off the head unit. I use Waze as my navigation app because it gives actual over ground speed as well as speed limit, but all will work well. Two USB inputs are provided for music, DVD etc as well as onboard storage. The inbuilt radio app works well but so will any other app. The head unit is fully customizable but I like the home screen as it came out the box. All in all a fantastic upgrade and what Toyota should have provided in thew first place.
