Where's the best location to install the Microphone on a 2008 Lexus IS350? Everyone tells me it sounds distant and a lot of wind noise.

Default Bluetooth

Bluetooth will not turn on with my product. Anyone else? What am I doing wrong?

Yes. Managed to connect it.

Now more issues. What's up with the terribly annoying choppy Bluetooth audio. I do not have any special characters in the device name either, as someone noted to avoid above.

I'd expect something as basic as Bluetooth audio to function flawlessly. But how could I expect decency from GROM.

Grom said to turn off the wifi while using Bluetooth until they get it fixed. They are supposed to release a software update to fix it.

Sort of voids the purpose of apps such as Waze, something as simple as this should be verified before shipping out half baked products. We are not beta testers. I was spectical about purchasing, due to subpar Vline V1 reviews. Expected better with VL2, but it's already a disappointment out of the box. Why would I expect otherwise.

Looking forward to an update shortly.

Lol! I felt the same way. They need to hurry up with the update already. They were suppose to release something late last week but I haven't seen a email drop yet.

You would think gen2 would be flawless with all the time to learn from gen1, but it is what it is!

If you bought a VL2 expecting it to be perfect despite knowing how things were/are with the VL1 then you were destined for disappointment. Was pretty much guaranteed there were going to be initial issues with the VL2 that you'd have to work through. Other than the guy's who got bricked it doesn't even sound that bad. Still far from ideal, but again, you should have known what you were getting into.

With that said, I'm pretty happy with my VL1 at this point. Drove ~400 miles today using Waze for navi and Poweramp to listen to music simultaneously (and Car Launcher AGAMA as my launcher). Only issues I had were Waze crashed once (probably not VL1s fault) and GPS disconnected for 10-15 seconds a few times (I have it in the glovebox so probably not the VL1s fault either). Overall leaps and bounds better than when I had to drive the car a similar distance with the OEM navi/stereo.

After VL2 is on the new version of Android and most/all the major bugs are worked out I might consider upgrading but honestly it doesnt look that much faster than my VL1. Maybe I will make a video to compare speed.

Default VL2 issues

Those with VL2, does your reverse camera work? Mine doesn't, occasionally goes to black/white bars or just black for a couple seconds then comes up with the park assist proximity screen.

Also, anyone know what this connects to? Could not find anywhere to plug this back into when I was installing the Vline and began unplugging stuff on the nav.
