Quick summary.

Pros:
- Apple Car Play seems to work.
- Funky looking new fresh screen (still need more time to fully explore).

Cons:
- I cannot access any of my OEM Dash screen functions (I thought there was a way on switching between V-LINE and OEM). My V-Line boots as soon as the ignition is on.
- Revsere camera has stopped working (I get a glitchy black screen when I put the gear on R).
- I cannot access my AC Screen for controls (The Screen turns black when I select AC, and I have to guess where the up AC button was located on a black screen and then the AC will switch on).
- When someone calls while in Apple Car play I can't pick up from the steering wheel button, I have to touch the screen.
- When someone calls and I pick up, I can hear them, but they can't hear me (my unit did not include an additional Mic, so maybe that could be why).
- Screen sometimes randomly decides to go black and glitchy and then will comes back on.
1. What is your Lexus model and year? Does it have factory nav? You can also access the factory when you tap on Factory UI on the VLine UI screen.
2-3-5-6. Please report this to technical team https://gromaudio.com/support.html
4. To pick up call from steering wheel use NEXT TRACK button

Also check if the update is available for your system. 1. Connect the VLine to Wifi. 2. Go to Settings -->System--> Updates and check for available updates or tap on "Support" icon on main VLine UI and check for Updates.

- Lexus Model and year: 2012 Lexus ISF with factory Navi. I will try and access factory UI later today but I remember trying and it wasn't viewing.

- 2-3-5-6. Will send to Technical Team.

- To pick up call from NEXT TRACK button (Will try later today)

- Already updated Firmware a few days back, will see if there is an additional update from then.

Hi @gromaudio - Quickly wanted to double confirm, LEX5VL2 is NOT compatible with 2011+ MYs correct? Reason I ask is a local buddy has one from his 09 part out.

Additionally, is there any special pricing on the LEX6VL2 at this time?

Best,

David

LEX5VL2 is not compatible. You can get $50 off with the coupon code VLINE50.

Wait for a group buy and get $130 off. There's a group by every month or two that's announced in the F/IS Facebook groups.

More information is needed, such as when it is reconnecting - while playing CarPlay or Android Auto, wired or wireless?
The best is to contact our technical team at https://gromaudio.com/support.html They will help.

Just to update everyone, after rechecking all the wiring and contacting support (doing another update) everything seems to be working.

Apart from microphone not working when answering calls (no mic provided).

Seems to be good so far but haven't driven the car for long to see if it continues to be stable.

Microphone issue sorted out, I just had to plug the 3.5mm cable to the mic output on the Vline unit (no additional mic needed) so now eveyrthing works and seems to be stable so far

After updating Car play seems to work better and stop disconnecting as frequent. Stil does maybe once or twice a week. I would recommend checking for updates frequently

I am trying to upgrade the wifi antenna to a bigger one... is the antenna connector SMA male or is it RP-SMA male?

@gromaudio can you help?

We use very standard SMA connections.
