@BLK ISF hitting AUX launches VLine for me, so can't get to the EQ buttons. DISC doesn't seem to do anything. It must be some sort of difference in the navs, not sure if someone can chime in on whether these OEM headunits changed over the years. Its odd because I've tried explaining this to GROM as well and they can't replicate my issue. I think they too used an early model nav.

@BLK ISF yep, all the wiring is up front, never touched anything in the rear. That is the exact EQ I'm referring to, the first to pictures of OEM EQ settings. The 3rd pic looks like VLine Android settings? Anyhow, I've tried following the manual instructions of long-press DISC key (or something like that). But my unit doesn't exactly have a DISC key. How did you bring yours up?

@BLK ISF thanks, good to hear your experience has been smooth. I've been in contact with GROM and we're slowly ironing out these issues (at least I hope so, so far just a lot of sending logs/firmware back and forth). Are you able to tell me how you're getting the EQ up? From what I understand, the EQ settings for FM and say AUX, CD or USB are different. I say this because I have EQ settings set for FM but when I went to AUX, it's at default. In any case, I can't access the VLine (USB setting for me) EQ as that immediately enters VLine interface. How do you bring up the EQ then? As for the buzzing sound, it comes on even just on acc on, no need to start the engine. Very likely its the amp as @_ISF said, as it went away briefly whilst doing a VLine firmware update and the unit rebooted then the buzzing resumed. However I have noticed that it no longer always comes on...suggests a wiring problem perhaps? I did the wiring myself, but I'm no stranger to wiring up car audio and have triple-checked my work when these issues started showing. Edit: I've had the VLine few months now, but now only actively trying to solve the issues as I'm driving the car more now. It could be the amp is faulty, I've read a few threads around the internet of Lexus Mark Levinson amp buzzing. I've arranged with Lexus of Perth to inspect the issue and hopefully replace under warranty if it's faulty (still have about 2.5 years warranty remaining). Finger's crossed they won't say the VLine voids the warranty cover!

Hi BLK ISF, wondering what year your ISF is? I've purchased the VLine 2 myself, I pre-ordered it at the early pricing stage. Mine is a 2011 ISF, so has all the facelift stuff but my SATNAV did not come with bluetooth music function out of the factory. It arrived in June/July and since then I've not used it much due to issues with reverse cam not working, startup issues and also other little bugs like unable to access factory EQ settings (for USB as that is what the VLine 2 replaces). Not sure if this is from the VLine 2 but I've also noticed a whirring/humming/buzzing sound coming from the driver's side of the boot area. This happened shortly after VLine 2 was installed so I'm assuming might be related to the product? Can't find much online about the noise coming from the boot, there are a few posts on the internet floating around on Lexus vehicles having a noise from the boot due to sub/amp issues on the Mark Levinson system or fuel evap? This is a video I recorded of the noise. I originally suspected it was a set of aftermarket tail lights I had installed but it seemed to persist even after swapping to another brand of aftermarket tail lights, then back to OEM tail lights and even without any tail lights plugged in. This sound occurs once the car is turned on, both acc on or engine start. https://youtu.be/2PWHBlle5Gw https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VpqBKYXFvJ_wxN2lWI3HXEVASRE4L7UF/view?usp=sharing

After spending more time researching, I think the Beatsonic double din solution is probably the better option. I feel that it does look sorta tacky, but have to admit having 2 screens can be useful and I would much rather a trusted a proven head unit manufacturer than the issues I've read about the GROM. Also alleviates the need to cut into glovebox to fit the GROM unit.

Is yours a 2010? What system do you have currently? Interested to hear how you go with TV - I test drove an e9x M3 and really fell in love with that (I do wait in the car regularly when picking up the mrs).

Hi, thought I'd bump this instead of creating a new thread. I recently got a 2011 ISF which seems they don't have bluetooth music streaming in Australia until the 2012 models. Now looking for a solution to have a setup which allows for bluetooth music streaming. Have come across things like the USASPEC BT45-TOY which will work fine for providing bluetooth music, calls etc. However I would still need my phone on a mount if I wish to use Google Maps. Something like this VLine would be amazing, however have read that it still has its bugs and a new VL2 will be released next year. I'm also unsure if it will work with my 2011 ISF. Anyone else able to chime in?
