@gromaudio Take a look, this guy doing amazing videos about Toyota and Lexus:

And he just did amazing promotion to your product.
He was so skeptical and was complaining all the way during the installation.
But you need to see his reaction when he discovered that Car Play works in 2001 Lexus

I am just checking if the update is still on the roadmap

Just wanted to share my recent Grom experience, from an Aussie point of view. I installed a VLite LEX6 version in my recently acquired 2012 ISF. I sourced the unit from Aussie distributor Cushie Audio. The unit was updated to the latest firmware and tested prior to dispatch by the distributor, with a pic of it working on the bench sent to me with the consignment details.
Good start!
The unit arrived with a paper slip warning of the reverse camera issue which Id already heard about
Time to install! Out with the stock head unit, VLite installed in the glove box and I plugged the lightning cable into my iphone to launch Apple CarPlay. Everything works as expected, including the additional step of exiting the CarPlay UI prior to selecting reverse to view the camera. I reinstalled everything back in place and thats it. It all works. 3 weeks down the track. Still works. Music, maps, touchscreen, phone calls, steering wheel volume and track change, Siri, reverse camera (after a button press and a 2 second wait)
Sound quality is great, touchscreen interface is great. The only possible glitch I can point to is that I cant launch Siri from the track up/down button on the steering wheel. Throwing that in as its literally the only bug Ive come across : ) Any questions Ive had post install were answered by Cushie Audio ( should that little green LED stay on? .), which has been reassuring
Very happy with the interface and how its working in the ISF
Great finish!

Hi all, and Happy New Year!
We plan to run the next group order for the VLine VL2 and VLite VT2 for CarPlay / Android Auto integration to Lexus and Toyota factory car stereo. The next group order will start on January 11th and run until January 19th. The product will ship at the end of January or early February.
The discount will be $120 off the VLine VL2 system and $70 off the VLite VT2 system. Both systems support wireless CarPlay and Android Auto integration into the factory Lexus stereo. With the GROM VLine VL2 or VLite VT2 system, you do not need to replace your factory stereo. The GROM systems use already existing car stereos, displays, and steering wheel controls to use and operate CarPlay and Android Auto in your vehicle. All important factory features, such as a backup camera and FM radio, will keep working.
If you want to join the group, send us a private message with your email address via this web forum. We will add you to the group.

We are happy to answer any questions you may have. Some of the frequently asked questions are:
1. What is the difference between GROM VLine VL2 and VLite VT2?
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
Otherwise, the local car stereo shop in your area should be able to help you with the installation.
The GROM VLine VL2 / VLite VT2 systems come with 30 days return for the refund period and 18-month warranty.

The units are pretty solid, I have experience with 3 units starting from the first VL1 pre order. The oldest unit started screen flickering after 4+ years. I guess it was a gvif cable, I have replaced it with a VL2 unit and put in all new cables, no issues since then. Also need to add that the issue was in a pretty hot climate country.
I would also add that I bought the first GROM MP3 and Bluetooth unit in 2014. The company has a very solid record of high quality products...
