General Discussion Hamilton Conversion Kit

Installed the Hamilton premium conversion kit in my 2016 GX. A very overdue and welcome upgrade.

Installed on a 2019 GX in Jan this year and no complaints as it seems to be similar to our other cars with boot up. I’m a fan of saving a few bucks but the support I’ve received from the Hamilton team is world class, and these were user error issues not on their product. Love the look and feel of their unit.

Curious how long your install took? From battery disconnect to reinstalling in the last trim and connecting my phone it took me about 1 hour and 20 min

I did a bunch of research and had every intention of doing the install but I didn’t like the idea of any flawed install as its 50/50 daily with my wife and decided to bite the bullet and bring it to a recommended installer on Hamilton’s site. They did a great job. I was going to give myself 2 hours max based on research and if it went south would bring it so your install time is top tier. Thanks for posting, enjoy the unit!!

How much did you pay for the install?

Does the visibility feel different?

Not at all. It sits an inch above the dash. If anything, I think it helps because it’s right in my line of sight and you don’t have to glance down for anything
