Our latest install video for the VLine VL2 system in Lexus GS 2016-2020:

You can see how to route the system inside the glove compartment for easier accessibility!

The compatible system model is LEX78, either VLine VL2 or VLite VT2 models will work. Available here:

@gromaudio Please consider this a user request for dual antennas and a higher link speed. I drive a lot, and use wireless CarPlay exclusively and have dropouts along my commute. My devices is set for 20mhz bw which fixes most issues, but on the freeway at certain areas it drops , and is repeatable it getting the unit to drop in that area

Most likely the problem is not in speed but rather the strong external interference. We are looking into it.

The product will ship after May 25th. If you want to participate in the upcoming group order, please send us a private message with your name and email address, and we will add you to the group order list.

Both VLine VL2 and VLite VT2 systems offer wireless CarPlay and Android Auto. Contact us with any questions, and we will be happy to help!

Some of the frequently asked questions are:

The GROM VLine VL2 offers wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as a stand-alone Android interface that you can use to download almost any app from the Google Play store to use in your car. The GROM VLite VT2 system is for wireless CarPlay and Android Auto only.

2. Can I install the system myself?
Yes, you can install the system if you have some technical ability. You will need to disassemble the portion of the dashboard to connect the system to the back of the stereo and display and install the microphone and GPS antenna. We have plenty of install videos on our website:
https://gromaudio.com/installs/index.html

Installed VLine VL2 Android 12 upgrade yesterday and not sure if it was worth the $25. Mouse moves a little smoother and seems more precise. Lost all of the apps including google playstore and can't figure out how to add apps now. At least I got it on sale. Can't say I'd recommend.

Click on the app button (multiple dots) in the main screen and click on Google Store. Sign in and you should be all set.

You need to reinstall GApps, and then reestablish the access to Google Play store. Check the user guide here for how to:
