Lexus LS460, my GROM Vline 2 experience :(

Thank you for the update and review. It was fair and balance. And it also helped to keep my expectations in check. 👌🏽

Bennie, this was fantastic. Thank you. I have the exact same 2007 LS460 with 204000 miles and still like new. I installed my Grom last week. Love it..same as yours with car display, but it is so good for all that it brings to the car…now in the 2023 electronics with Grom Vline2

Great review Bennie. Not saying I am getting one, not saying I'm not.....Really concise and good information. Keep up the good work!

I'm sold. Sound like decent customer service. They didn't leave you hanging.

Really sorry for your experience, at least you got it up and running in the end. I really want to get the grom for my 460. I guess I’ll be getting mine soon. Thanks for the vid.

You're awesome bro thanks for the review of the entire experience

Excellent review thank you. It simply seems like a mistake in shipping and outdated instructions caused all of your nightmares. Glad to hear it’s sorted. I’ll be buying one for my GX.

Hey brother great video thank you so much I have a 07 ls460 and have been looking to update to CarPlay while keeping the oem radio thank you again!!

I brought my LS460, 2008 new and have just over 47K miles and I thought about adding that device. But, after watching your video I might just keep wiring my phone to get those figures. Great video thanks for doing it. Post any future issues you have with the LS460. Take care

Forgot to thank you for the idea to put the Grom box below the glove box. It fits perfectly like it was made for it above the trim panel. The wiring run was also easy compared to putting in Glove box.

I just got the vline for my is 350 about 3 weeks ago. So far my experience has been near perfect other than today I couldn't get my phone to connect to CarPlay. Sometimes it was finicky like you were saying however I talked to tech support and they told me to update firmware. Apparently a few updates ago they had an issue specifically with CarPlay not connecting properly sometimes. Crossing my fingers but so far I notice a huge difference and now it pairs quick every time.

I like this option better than the Tesla screen

Bennie, you are a trooper to get through this in such a good way with success. In our 2007 LS 460L that we have had now for many years we have been happy with downloading music through the CD player to the hard drive in the Mark Levinson system, it sounds great, also I am frugal with not spending money for monthly subscription, so I use Tracfone for my phone and Phone DATA, it works out to less than $ 10.00 per month for a year of service Phone and DATA combined, and I have done this for a very long time and am used to it, I turn on DATA when I need it and then turn it off. Thank you for showing this video and being such a likable guy.

Thank you. Very similar experience with 2011 LS460

First- You are a HERO! This video is consice and to the point. KUDOS I have an order for one of these for my 09 LS460 coming any day now and now I know to double check the model on the box and the harness. I have couple of questions though. 1-is it possible to show how the unit is mounted in that little space under the glove box- that is geinius move BTW! 2-How long did it take for the replacement part to come? 2b-Did they do the right thing and overnight it? 3-Did you mount the GPS antenna above the right top vent? 3b- Was the wire long enough due to the unit mounting? 4-Did you install the microphone? 4b-if so was it hard to pry the A pillar w the airbag? 5-Do the steering wheel controls work while using the V-Line. 6-Does it retain all of the Mark Levinson features like DSP and the great "Booming" sound when watching videos and playning music. Thanks so much for this especially waiting 6 mos to give a fair review of ACTUAL LS460 customer use. So many people are knee-jerk lovers or haters who had it for a few days or from outside of the US complaining about customer service / shipping times. U Are Great!

Glad to know. I thought of getting one but cannot get over the cost. If it was under 400 than maybe. Wonder how many they have sold and if your install is typical.

It looks like your trials were worth it! Heres to many more years of problem free ownership with your LS. Do we have any newer options these days?

Hi ther i have the same car as you and i have a few tips for you . First if you want to adjust the sound you just have to press the scan button 3 times in a row and the screen will go there. And it works when you are on any screen And second for the touch screen i installed a wireless mouse in the USB porte of the unit and it works great

A perfect example of the idiocy that is the Grom VLite. Customer service is so bad.

11:55 I have the Vline in my 2006 LX470, when I go to Reverse, the backup camera does pop up, however when going back to "D" or "P" the Grom unit does NOT come back up. I have to press "DISC" twice to get back to the grom. Kind of lame, wonder if you have an idea for a workaround?
