If you had an audio out (Bluetooth, line out, spdif, etc) as an alternative to routing through the factory unit, that would be awesome.

Not sure, why you don't see it. I ordered this item https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2255800474641770.html (hope I'm not violating any rules by providing the direct link)
See the order (there's an additional discount - they provided a coupon)
Spoiler

Description says support 3g and 4g network. We know that 3g is defunct. This tells me the unit is older technology. That may be OK, especially at this price. But worth thinking about a few hundred more for current tech is another option.

I don't think this is relevant at all. This device doesn't use mobile network for anything, and there's no slot for sim card either as far as I'm aware

I'd recommend the group buy on GROM. A proven product with after sales support.

Would this fit a European LS 600h? It seems there still is uncertainty on compatibility related with the INFO tel button.

Am I reading this properly, or is there a typo for the $470 off the VT2 - Vlite, making it only $30??
