Awesome video read about it in the forums and Reddit
Thank you!
excellent video, can you please explain did you have to make a hole in the glove compartment to get the wires in? thanks :)
Thank you for the feedback. It depends on the glove box, on some there is small cavity that allows you to run the wires through, or sometimes there is the little cover that can be removed. On the others you need to make the hole to get the cables through.
Nice video and great product everyone. Keep at it 💪 🤓 this will be more popular ❤️ Can you connect a dashcam to it?
Thank you! Yes you can connect the dashcam.
@@gromaudio just any regular dash cam works or are we connecting it via the front camera video output cable?
Will this work on a 2013 Lexus ES350 with factory navigation?
Yes, it will work on the 2013 Lexus ES350. You need the LEX78 model of GROM VLine VL2 or VLite VT2 system. Check here: gromaudio.com/store/all-lex78_.html
does the radio head unit control navigation and dash controls and radio itself? took 17 es 350 in today with a screen message "cannot read file take to dealer" quoted 2700 for stereo ad install
The headhunt controls the navigation and radio, and dash controls. Strange that the dealer suggests replacing the stereo, maybe it is possible to repair it? Check with the stereo shops near you.
Do you plan to update android version of your devices or release new modification based on newer version ?
I want to install your device for LS600h, but it has android 8. It's a little bit old.
yes we plan to upgrade the Android. Please sign up for our notifications at bit.ly/vline_interest to receive an update once the new Android is released.
Android 8.1 in general is stable for automotive use, and if you plan to use CarPlay or Android Auto, the version of the Android does not matter at all.
hey wanting to buy this vline for my gs. just wondering if the gps and microphone cables are required to run apple carplay? will it use your apple iphone gps, if gps wire is not used?
(i’ll probably use the wire, but just wondering how everything works!)
It depends on your vehicle if you will need the mic or not. For 2015-2018 Lexus ES you will not need to add VLine mic, as the system will integrate with the factory mic.
As for GPS antenna, it is not required for CarPlay, however highly recommended. It will enhance the GPS signal, and preserve the iPhone's battery. Also CarPlay might require the external GPS in the future.
@@gromaudio will you need to install mic for a 2013 Lexus Gs350 Fsport?(LEX7VL2) or does my vehicle use the factory microphone?
@@caillou2097 your vehicle will use the factory microphone. You will not need to install anything else.
Hi, I drive a Lexus ES300 H (2017)
The radio is not working, it says
Checking map disk in progress please wait a moment then
A program cannot be read, please consult to a dealer.
I can’t deal with my dealer, they are asking me for 7,000 thousand dollars. I’m just a lady who drives a taxi in NYC
Please can you advise me on a much affordable option.
I’ll really appreciate your opinion on this matter

LEX89VL2 is the correct model for your vehicle.
I thank you so much for you time. I’m really afraid that I won’t fine a capable person to install the unit. I see so many cables, I’m afraid to try myself.
@@belkistavarez3520 understand it. You also need to figure out what is wrong with your factory car stereo.
Did you solve this problem?
