What? a battery can last that long? This is my 3rd battery for my 2017 RX 350 now.

 

I am FL, and had almost the same problem you had. The funny thing was, my first battery (original) was dying, and I had to jumpstart couple times. I went to Lexus and told them the problem with the battery, but, Lexus told me the battery went through all tests, and it was a good battery and didn't replace it. As soon as I drove home, it was dead. Second day, I called Lexus, and they came to me and checked and told me the battery was dead and replaced.

 

Installation went super smooth, followed the video on Grom's website and did it in total about 1.5 hours start to finish, even being careful. I purchased the trim removal tool kit from them and it came very much in handy. The interface was super easy to setup with wireless carplay and i have enjoyed it. As with all of these systems it takes a few seconds to fully boot but once it's up it's pretty much solid. I love it and I was worried since my iPhone is always on the beta program I might have some trouble, even with the latest beta releases, no issues (really just means Apple hasn't changed anything major yet with carplay). Let me know if you guys have any more specific questions. Audio and phone calls have worked great so far, but i need to remember that hitting the pick up call button on the steering wheel doesn't work in carplay.

 

Deleted because I resolved it

 

Just installed the latest Lsailt Unit. CarPlay works fine, however when I return to Lexus control I lose the curser.
switching back and forth between Lexus and CarPlay is no problem, unless I physically disconnect and reconnect the Lasailt unit
i can’t get curser back in Lexus mode.
Zlink works ok, wife’s iPhone 12 auto connects, my iPhone X doesn’t always.
I cannot get to settings in Lexus for phones, etc
cannot reset the Lsailt with any button combinations. Just manual unplug, etc.
anyone have these problems
thanks

Check with Cosmo; for me an update solved the cursor thing (this was a while back). Also, and arguably firstly, make sure you are changing to the OEM system using the AUX button rather than the holding hang up method. If I use the latter I still lose the cursor.

 

Working better, second iPhone interruptions cause partial problems. When in CarPlay, Lexus radar cruise icons not adjustable
with steering wheel, icons for temp, etc flash on and off at screen bottom, do not show when adjusted.

 

Just installed the newest lsailt unit (with the built-in carplay without dongle). The thing i like the most is the ability for Carplay to switch between dark/light mode with the headlamp switch and the light sensor. It feels more like OEM now 😊

 

what’s the lead time ?

 

Can someone explain me what this small speaker is for that they pack with the Lsailt unit?

By the way, does the reverse camera work?

 

you mean switching between dark and light mode? It’s instantly as i flip the headlamp switch from off to on and vice versa.

 

No purpose for the small speaker cause we output the sound to the car speakers.

reverse camera and birds eyes view work as normal.

 

I am experiencing the same issue with the Lsailt box recently too. I have the box with the built-in wireless function (no dongle). When I start up my car, I would lose the cursor, my parking assist function, and the hard button function on the main Lexus interface. I am able to switch back and forth between Carplay and the main Lexus menu, but only the Carplay interface is usable and has the cursor function available. The only way to get all the button function and cursor back in the main Lexus interface is to re-boot the Lsailt box (hold the up arrow + mode). Not really convenient and very annoying to do this every time.

I have contact Cosmo through WhatsApp several times about this problem and he has provided a couple of solution but it did not resolve the problem. Now, Cosmo has stop replying and would not even bother looking at my message (maybe blocked me). I am now stuck with a box that is not functioning properly and is causing problems / conflicts with the main Lexus input and safety (parking assist) functions.

I was hoping maybe someone here has experienced this and was able to resolve this problem, since I cannot get any response from Cosmo anymore. In the end, I may have to remove the box since it causing more problems then the providing benefits of having Carplay.

Thanks.

 

I have had my Grom V Line installed for over a week now and truly love it...

I can't imagine there being a better option for adding CarPlay / Android to an existing system by just plugging a couple things in. Install took me about 1.5 hours (with a break)

I wouldn't recommend the V Line to anyone that isn't 'good' with technology / computers / troubleshooting as obviously there is a slight learning curve. It's honestly very easy though.

All in all I find it easy to manoeuvre and have zero regrets (as of yet)

9/10 would definitely recommend to friends/family.

 

I may go this route. It is very frustrating when you cannot not get proper help from a vendor (Lsailt). I followed this thread and purchase from them (Lsailt) thinking they were the best option from the reviews.
