Infotainment system upgrade for Land Cruiser Prado and Lexus GX - head unit upgrade options

[@gromaudio]

Great video, thank you Tom! Just to let you know you can calibrate the touchscreen in your VLine setup. Simply, once in VLine UI screen (main screen), tap on three horizontal lines in the upper left corner. There you can tap down to the "Touchscreen Calibration" section and calibrate your screen.

You're very welcome @gromaudio! You guys made a fantastic product. I didn't know about the calibration, thanks for letting me know :) I'll most definitely run that.

Great review! I think it’s the only complete one for this product for the prado. I pondered between buying this and a media bluetooth box and went with that. I can still use the steering wheel commands including change track. I use my phone for navigation. Great to see this product working for you tho! Cheers from Romania!

[@tomvanpope]

Thanks man! Yes the bluetooth box alternative is a very viable option if you don't mind navigating on your phone, glad you found yourself a nice upgrade too. I should visit Romania one day. Maybe next summer? Greetings from Sweden!

Hi, congrats for the video! Is there a way to keep the factory installed CD changer with this upgrade? Or maybe there is another solution that supports such feature by now?

[@bikejayd]

Hi I've been looking at this unit for my J120 , do you know if the unit supports or works with a VPN? As I use a VPN to listen to the radio outside my country. I currently use a FM/Bluetooth transmitter. Thanks for any help and support.

[@tomvanpope]

Hi! 👋 With VLine you have the access to many other mobile apps available at Google Play store, so maybe you can use a VPN app too. I’d send them a message at gromaudio.com/support.html before you buy one.

Thank you for great recommendations! Thinking about doing this to my 09GX

[@tomvanpope]

Awesome. Can highly recommend it. Let me know when you do, and how you like it.

[@MaximumDIYGarage]

@@tomvanpope I will post it on my channel once installed this summer.

[@fabiocene]

Still happy after 1 year? Any quirks or systematic faults?

[@SergiosKolios]

If you find yourself in warmer climates, don't count on the Velcro glue holding it in place, you can imagine how I know! 😁 Currently looking for a different solution myself.

[@tomvanpope]

Haha good point! There's always the 3M VHB double sided tape that holds the bracket in place as a fall-back. Not sure how that will fare in hot Greek summers either, but on paper it should hold. Look into 3M VHB.

What a great review, cheers mate!

[@tomvanpope]

Thanks brother!

Nice work! ... and if you are a youtube watcher its a plus!👍🏻💯 other systems like Beat-Sonic [J150 | 2010-2013 models] you cannot play youtube videos... I personally looking forward to get my VLINE2 installed on my 2011 GX460.

[@tomvanpope]

Thanks! Yeah it's a great system. Exactly, with GApps and the Google Play Store you can run almost any Android app on your system. 2011 GX460: NICE! Enjoy man!

Thanks man, great video

[@tomvanpope]

Glad you liked it!

[@alvanortiz10]

Nice video bro! Does it work with apple car play too? Or just with Android auto?

[@tomvanpope]

Thanks brother. It works with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

[@JM19JM91]

Apple CarPlay on my RAV4 2022 (OEM unit) looks more laggy than this.

[@tomvanpope]

Would've expected a smooth operation in such a new vehicle. Nice ride though!

[@RokLenardic]

What is the name of the gx fb group with lots of info?

[@tomvanpope]

It’s called GXOR. And sorry for the late reply 🙏
