so would you recommend lsailt over GROM?

joeguan3rx

yes absolutely

larrytrk

no loop back jack with my wireless model. CarPlay comes up automatically when I get into the car. Long press menu goes to lexus, but no curser unless you go
thru long mode on steering wheel.
i would definitely recommend the latest Lsailt version.

With latest Lsailt unit, dip switch 1 allows toggle back and forth between Lexus and CarPlay. Using Phone Hangup button, if Lexus IS in AUX mode.
also works if Lexus IS in other mode, but no sound with CarPlay.
Verbal SIRI switches thru Lexus phone, but works well going back to CarPlay.
no problems with curser in Lexus mode or CarPlay.
works very well now.

Have you tried GROM VLine?

gromaudio

Does the GROM unit use the call end button as well to switch between the Lexus UI and the GROM Vline UI?
You use the factory MEDIA button to get to AUX more that is take over by VLine, and this is how you switch from factory to VLine. If you are in the phone call, you can stay in VLine mode, as the phone calls on CarPlay go through VLine (using all factory speakers). You can start the phone call, accept the phone call, reject the phone call using CarPlay controls on your stereo, or steering wheel/car stereo controls. You can also use SIRI voice to start the phone call, look for the music, or start navigation.

What seems to be the best way to connect audio through Lsailt? I just received mine and about to do a installation, but I’m between 3.5mm aux and just going full bluetooth.

which seems to have better quality? Also if I’m connected to CarPlay and get a call on my phone, can I answer it while in Lexus UI? Or do I need to switch to Lsailt, then answer the call? Assuming I want to use the steering wheel keys etc

which has better integration? Aux or bluetooth?

My lsailt kit came in yesterday, installed it last night it was a breeze, I didn’t need to pull the glove box, even to route my usb to the glovebox I just had to fish the cable through the back.

The module fits nicely tucked under the climate control area, and I put the gps and WiFi antenna above my vents right below the screen nicely tucked in the area not being blocked by a bunch of metal.


my car feels so much more modern now, I love it.

ive had the RSNAV for my Audi s7 and Q5 and the unichip module for my bmw x6m, and to be honest the lsailt unit is probably the best so far out of all of them. Climate control adjustments don’t close the whole unit it has a pop up, everything works so well.


only odd things I noticed are sometimes wireless CarPlay is a little sluggish to change songs, and sometimes the climate control pop up shows up randomly even when not changing climate control.

I left a att nighthawk hotspot in my car so now the android interface is much better, netflix is fun to watch (I’ll probably never really use it most of the time) but it’s nice to have

How do you switch back and forth between Lexus and android, using phone hang up or mode button?
I assume you are not using CarPlay, just android auto.
yes song switching is slow, yes the climate control icons pop up_sometimes lexus park assist says off line, but, all in all I heartily agree, the car is where it should
be in infotainment.’
by the way my unichip in my Porsche, is far and above the best of the lot, a close second to my factory 2017 Audi CarPlay.
mine is still in the glove box, in case it needs attention, my Beatsonic Mirroring from before was behind head unit and needed a reboot which required it be physically
unplugged, therefore I was cautious with the Lsailt unit.

Does anyone know how to reset the lsailt Box? Something must have gotten wonky when I tried to connect the android interface with my hotspot now my wireless CarPlay doesn’t work I tried resetting all my WiFi info and settings, and now some random unnamed Bluetooth device keeps trying to auto connect with my phone.

I want to just clear my bluetooth, WiFi and lsailt and start from factory


hopefully someone can help me here, I saw I can factory reset the box through the android settings but I dont know if that will delete all the CarPlay and other apps

jeronberna

Odd situation... after reformatting my CarPlay box after all of the wireless CarPlay issues I’ve been having, every time I try to use CarPlay (only wires is working right now for some reason) my android media volume shuts off as soon as I connect my phone to usb...


anyone have a solution?

larrytrk

with wireless does Zlink come up as waiting?and never acquire?

jeronberna

so wireless CarPlay seems to be working fine now with zlink, but I am still receiving a odd audio issue.

when I first connect to CarPlay my android media volume goes to 0 and I have to go to the settings to increase the android media volume to hear any music.

also when I do finally have the volume up, when I have music playing if any notification (text, gps directions, any notification) it will mute and then play music again after the notification goes away , I’m guessing any system sounds are not coming out. How can I make it so all audio goes through my speakers? I saw the previous post about turning master on, but lsailt no longer uses that OS

larrytrk

is iPhone set on accessiblity, touch, auto call routing, Bluetooth headset?

jeronberna

I double checked all those originally

I spoke to cosmo last night, and he found the solution to the problem, it was in the factory lsailt box settings.

You go into the Lsailt launcher Settings -> Factory -> Enter Code -> Mic Volume - > Navi Mix Volume -> Set to 10


Now all my issues with audio have been fixed, and my carplay issues have been fixed. I’m so glad ahaha everything is working like it’s suppose to be now, I’m really glad!!

hope this helps anyone else that had to factory reset their Lsailt box
