Hey thanks for sharing this! I just bought a '07 GS350 and I'm looking to do the same thing but I think I have a lesser head unit cuz I don't think I have an aux input shared with the CD button like you do, you wouldn't happen to know if that unit would still work would ya?

@alfredlyon27 2 жыл бұрын

I don’t know. I would go to the GROM website via the link I provided and put in your model year and see.

@TheN4UM4N 2 жыл бұрын

It would still work for non-aux 06/07 GS 350's as the Grom unit comes with its own microphone that you have to mount and connect to the unit. Pretty easy to do tbh. I would probably take apart the sunglass holder area and you will find the original Lexus BT mic there and you can foam tape (to reduce noise and vibration) right next to the factory one for a clean install and then route the wiring up and around the headliner to the side A pillar and then back to the glovebox where you install the Vline 2 unit. Hope this helped!

One thing to add for your viewers. Vline 2 works with Android Auto but at the moment you cannot make calls with it like you can with Apple carplay. The call will come up on screen but only comes out through your phone. Grom have not yet got it to work. So you have to use the OEM phone system for now and wait for a future update

1) (if you are not in the Aux mode for Grom already) hit the CD-Aux on the Lexus. 2) wait till the Grom interface shows up on screen 3) Now let's say I want to adjust AC controls I'd hit the Climate button on the GS350 4) Now just hit the Audio button as the car knows you were using the last input (Grom from the CD-Aux) 5) Grom AA/CPlay screen will reappear 6) can turn off the car and turn it back on, voila!
