Can someone let me know if I installed mine wrong or is my unit a dud? After hooking everything up, all I get a blank screen after the lexus logo. My regular navi no longer worked.
Edit: 2006 is250 with navi


Blue Y connector wire thing. This part was pretty self explanatory. Blue to to blue and the white was plugged into the middle white connector towards the bottom of the console.


The second white wire was what confused me. In the video on Groms youtube video, they connect it on the back of the console. However, none of the inputs on the back of the unit fit this second wire. The only one that fit was on the side of the console. So thats what I plugged it into. On Groms pdf instruction, they dont even mention this wire. Is it not needed?

your clock doesn't work currently right?
looks like you plugged into the clock hazard button harness. You need to make connection at the rear of the stereo and not connector mounted to the side of the stereo
stereo
undo what you did for white connector and look for connection at rear of stereo, good luck

I think I may have missed the row of connectors at the very bottom of the console. I dont remember seeing them when I was trying to install but it was dark and based on diagrams they should be there. Im hoping thats where the white connectors go, Ill try again tomorrow.
Any tips on how to fish the wires into the glove box? Im planning on leaving the Vline in there.

for the 2IS ,
There's a little flap at the back of the glovebox that comes off for you to change your air filter, you can get the wires to come out there.
Easy way is to drop the panel under the glovebox to help facilitate fishing the wire through that hole.

did you ever get a resolution on this issue? I'm experiencing the same thing.

I finished the install last night. Fishing the wires from the navi location into the glove box was a PIA. It took me 2 hours to do the install. If it wasnt for fishing the wires, it probably would have taken 15 minutes.
My initial impression is a little disappointment. The system seems sluggish. I wasnt able to d/l any apps, they just hung on the d/l progress bar. Ill just sideload everything. The system doesnt always boot up when it suppose to. I only played around with it for 15 min since it was pretty late. I hope it gets better once I get some apps loaded.

I'd recommend just removing the glovebox to run the wires. I agree it is a PIA trying to run the wires with it in. Its much faster to remove it, run the wires and put it back in. It's really not much more effort to remove it if you've already removed the lower panel.

Hey guys we learned a few days ago that Grom is planning to have pre-sale price of 495 usd for the new VLine... Are you willing to pay this much or how much ?

Arvid

Pricing for update from Vline V1 to V2 ???

I'm not willing to pay that much. I would pay no more than $400 max personally. I don't think this is worth more than $500 total, including installation cost. We're likely going to be hassled contacting them to work out bugs, etc. and that should be worth a discount. This feels overpriced, AND without a discount for hassle on a beta version.

No, passed on a used v1, wanted a v2 instead. It was on my list even knowing it would be buggy but at that price Ill have to pass on the v2 also.

DeeBrown

Im in the same position... I will pass at 495$ USD plus shipping...nope can't be paying this much knowing that vl1 still having small issues. At 295$ pre sale knowing it still in beta ok 395 retail no more cause at 495$ people will expecting and demanding a near PERFECT solution for our car multi media.

Please post specs for v2

All VL2 basic specs are the same. The key difference:
- MCU RK3288 (~2.7 times faster)
- HDMI OUT enabled for backseat or HUD
- 3GB/4GB RAM
- Android 5.1 (7.1 updated in April)
- Wifi/BT with latest BCM chipset (2.4GHz/5GHz)

What about Audio DAC specs?
