Hi there, can you please confirm if installation of VLine doesn't require to disconnect the rear entertainment system in Lexus LX570 2008 model year? And also it will not interfere with existing OEM functionality in LX570? Thanks
Regarding to the rear seat entertainment, please check with technical support at gromaudio.com/support.html Regarding to the other functions of OEM functionality, yes they are not being affected. Thank you.
Great job! Tell me, is it possible to install this unit on LS460/600L 2008-2014? It uses the same GVIF and CAN. Resolution 800x480? best regards, unicar-m team
Thank you for your interest in GROM VLine! Yes, it is possible on 08-09 gromaudio.com/store/vline/grom-vl1-lex5.html, compatibility for the later models is still in works.

Does the backup camera still work with this ? Also does the buttons on the side of the screen still work
Yes everything still works. It acts as a CD changer in the Lexus system.
Hello there.. Will this upgrade work in a late 07 460 sel and how much is it.. Many thanks Stewart UK..
Hello, we need to know if you have self parking assist or not. Please check here: gromaudio.com by selecting your car make / model / year from the drop down. You will see in the list VLine VL2 which is the latest VLine model, on the preorder for discounted pricing. Thank you.
Hi so does this tske over the cd changer my c d changer has no power to it for some resson but if i add this will it still work my fm radio still work i can still change the frequency but cant select Cd dvd
There should be a reason why the CD changer is not working. If the actual CD changer failed, the VLine will still work. VLine takes over the external CD changer mode in your vehicle, so even if the internal CD changer is not working, VLine system should still work using the external CD changer mode. It is possible that the external CD changer is not working as the connection port at the back of the stereo has gone bad. In such case, the VLine will not show up.
Hello we need to know if Apple CarPlay is available for a 2008 Lexus LS460. Thank you.
Hello, Car Play is still in works. VLine is available for this Lexus 2008 LS460. Please check gromaudio.com, also pay attention to the compatibility notes - as there are different VLine models for Lexus with Self Parking Assist and without. Thank you.
Is it recommended to disconnect negative from battery before proceeding with install?
No, it is not. However you have to be careful when you are connecting everything back. Make sure to disconnect and reconnect everything back only when the vehicle is off. Do not turn it on before you made sure to connect everything back.
@@gromaudio Thanks, my Vline 2 was delivered recently (with park assist), so will be installing it shortly
Hi. Pls would this work in my es350 2010 model with navigation?
Yes it will work. Please check here: gromaudio.com/store/vline/grom-vl2-lex6.html Thank you.
How long does the GROM take to boot up when the car starts?
about 12 seconds
This is great. Can anyone recommend anyone in Northern or Western NJ who would provide an install service?
any install shops can help. You can also check our authorized installer lookup tool here: gromaudio.com/installers.html
very easy 2 install! plug and play! u only have 4 screw on the main unit!
Does the factory ML AMP that comes with car needs to be function for this to work? My ML AMP is blown and trying to find a simple solution.
The factory AMP does not need to function for VLine to work in the vehicle. The touchscreen itself needs to function.
@@gromaudio so will it give the same sound quality as if the amp has been removed from the car ?
@@gmayne5663 It is hard to say, I would check with the stereo professional. In general you will get the same sound as if using factory sound system with CD quality files.
Can you add Netflix to this it says any android app
Is this the same process for the IS?
No the process is different for IS. You get the idea, but the stereo removal procedure is not the same. We will have the IS video available soon, but you can also research the IS stereo removal. There are plenty available on the web. Thank you.
will this work on the Japanese model ls600hl from 2007 ?
yes it will work.
Can I hook up my amplifier and subwoofer with factory ls460 radio?
yes you can
i have ls 460 2010 is there any screen mirroring works to my car ??
It is possible that VLine might work. gromaudio.com/store/vline/grom-vl1-lex6.html Please contact us at support at gromaudio.com and we will check for you. Thank you.
GROM Audio Where do I put VLine in the car? I put it in the drawer
Does this connect to the internet? By itself of through smartphone?
It connects, either via smartphone internet sharing or you can use stand alone hot spot modem with the SIM card and plan. See article here: gromaudio.com/blog/2018/09/how-to-get-internet-to-car/
Does this work with 2007 LS460L ? And is car play available now?
Yes, wireless carplay too
Can I use this to replace navigation ecu
Do you want to replace entire headunit? VLine integrates with factory stereo and display, so you do not have to replace anything - you keep using it and all OEM integrations and functions keep working.
The problem is I have no Navi function. So does it suit for me? PS my car is LS460 2008
We do not have VLine system for Lexus vehicles without navi yet, however it is in works. Please sign up for the notifications at bit.ly/vline_interest Thank you.
@@gromaudio My 2007 Lexus LS 460 is equipped with the screen but without Navi. Will the Vline 2 work?
@@ramonnicdao2338 Unfortunately not, for this vehicle it needs factory navigation to work.
what kind adapter I need for those funny looking screws
No sure what screws you refer to, can you please give me the time of the video when they are shown? Thank you.
@@gromaudio Think he's referring to 1:40.

Is there a system that has apple CarPlay?
The Car Play for VLine is in works, and not available yet.

Usually glove box is the most convenient place to install VLine.
Easy to install?
Please check the video, it also depends on your technical abilities.
