I need this for my 2012 lexus is350 f sport. I got the car for $11.5k my man. I struck a solid deal. I sold my other car for $3k the same day I went to go pick up the lexus. So technically the lexus cost me $8.5k. It's a real nice car. All black exterior and interior like yours. I already installed the vland taillights and vland headlights, takeda intake, roof spoiler, f-sport springs for a little better handling. The f-sport exhaust and sway bars are next. But going back to the navigation screen system its so outdated and does not go well inside the car. I will order this right now. Hope everything is well with you man

[@SlowWhip]

dying breed Congrats man 👍 You got a good deal man that’s good. I just got my full catback exhaust so I’ll be installing it soon. I didn’t go with F-Sport exhaust because I thought it cost too much for just an axle back. Do you have an Instagram? Plus Grom is having a sale on the unit for the whole month so check them out.

[@unknownsource4359]

Thank you brotha. I just paid $539 plus tax came out to 579 out the door for the Grom system. Yeah man even one of my girlfriends said the oem stock infotainment navigation system on the car looked old from the 2000s. That was a motive also to upgrade haha. On top of that my business Involves using google maps to get to locations and I was tired of looking at my phone when there is a beautiful screen sitting there. Regarding the exhaust, I will let you tell me what kind of full catback exhaust you got when you release the video on it so you wont spoil it now. The price of the f-sport exhaust is ridiculous bro. $1500 on ebay and to find a used one on offer up or craigslist I have a better chance of winning the lottery. I'm still contemplating on buying it since it's very pricey. I dont have an Instagram bro.

[@SlowWhip]

dying breed You can use google earth map as well but I haven’t tested it yet. You can also use waze. I loving the infotainment now lol. I have that car for 5 years now and I only used the gps twice because it’s awful. I did in unboxing video yesterday for my exhaust so it’ll be up in a day. UPS guy showed up while I was installing the GROM system lol

[@unknownsource4359]

@@SlowWhip nice. Yeah man I woke up today and went to the bathroom seen your KZbin video notification on my phone and I was like its probably the f-sport exhuast he said he was getting. Clicked on it and saw the navigation screen with carplay. I was like what did homie get for the Lex now haha. An hour later I'm ordering the GROM. 5 years was a long time to be stuck with the oem infotainment screen. That thing is very boring so limited. The gps is so old school. But that's cool that you like it so far man. When I buy things for the Lexus I'm also treating myself. I have one question bro, I have the same f-sport rims as you but gunmetal color from factory. Is there any way I can make them black like yours? Reason is becuase they have some scrapes and curb rashes I would like to conceal maybe with the black paint/powder?

[@SlowWhip]

dying breed You will love it 👍 mines were gunmetal as well but I painted them. I don’t recommend you to paint them. You can find a place where they can powder coat them for you. That’s what I’m gonna do to my wheels. However, I’m planning on getting 19 inch F-Sport performance wheels, they weight about 20 pounds each, which is lighter than the 18 inch wheels.

[@Remember0811]

This video is so helpful. I was just at Best Buy looking to get Apple Car Play in my 2010 Lexus IS350. I wondered about the buttons along the info screen (Climate, Audio, Setup, etc.) and if they would still work. I also wondered about the backup camera. I was told there was no Apple Car Play unit that would fit my car. I would have to buy a whole new center console and then buy the Apple Car Play. We also talked about using the Lexus sound system and he told me that I would need something else to get that to work, otherwise I would just have cheap speakers. Not exactly sure what he meant by that. When it was all said and done, I was looking at close to $2,000. Now, after watching your video, I think I could do it myself and even if I couldn't, I could show your video to the installer so he would know what to do. The only thing that you did not address on your video is if the music plays through the Lexus speakers. Lexus has great speakers and I don't want to lose them.

[@SlowWhip]

They were right about replacing the whole head unit. There’s an aftermarket head unit that you can find on eBay and Amazon but it doesn’t work like OEM. However, with this Grom Vline system everything stays the same. All you do is adding this Apple CarPlay and Android Auto system to your head unit. As you can see in the video, your back up camera, radio, climate work as normal. I made another video about it and you can check it out. The sound go through the speakers, you don’t have to buy new speakers. I highly recommend to go with this system and have someone install it for you.

[@michaelG2310]

@@SlowWhipI think he was talking about losing the Mark Levinson amp. With all android aftermarket head units I’ve seen, you loose the ability to control all the speakers the car comes with and the sound is flat, not rich as intended

[@greatsouthernbants7284]

Hey man, nice video! I really appreciate the effort going into it. I’ve got a 2006 IS250 and I’m in Australia. Because you’ve been using it for about a month or two, do you think that it’s worth purchasing in the long run? Have there been any issues? In my currency it’ll be more than a thousand dollars so I want to know if it’s actually worth it. Thanks again for the video man, subbed!

[@SlowWhip]

Thank you 🙏🏽 I’ve been using it for almost 2 months now and I love it. Yes it freezes sometimes for about a minute but you know nothing is perfect. it’s actually worth it for me because I hate Lexus infotainment system plus I don’t have to be on my phone while driving. If you get it, just make sure to turn off your car Bluetooth phone connection because when you receive a phone call, CarPlay/Android and your car will ring at the same time which get the system confused. Thank you for subscribing 🙏🏽

[@greatsouthernbants7284]

Wadson Motoring Thank you so much for the fast reply! I’d love to see a more in depth video on how the system is functionally to use such as the time it takes to switch between apps, what it’s like when you click and swipe across to show the fluidity of the device, and also when you catch it with its bugs. You’ve got a lot of potential with this channel due to Marty Motoring selling his IS350, so the KZbin world needs more IS250/350 DIY’s and reviews. Keep on hustling bro, I’ll be sure to check out more of your videos. 🙌🏼🙌🏼

You probably could do that but you’re gonna have to rewire everything so it’s probably better to buy an aftermarket head unit with CarPlay and Android Auto

@@kalva7865 they were having a group sale on Facebook. If you’re part of LEXUS IS FREAKS on Facebook you’ll get a discount. I don’t know if it’s still available. As long as you connect you phone to grom you’ll be fine. Just make sure you turn off your head unit Bluetooth. Your car come with Bluetooth and you won’t need it anymore so turn it off so you can use grom. All phone calls will go through android auto. If you don’t turn your head unit Bluetooth off, both android and your car will ring at the same time when someone call you.

[@olliei]

How have you found reliability of the system? Looks great, but I heard it sometimes can crash and freeze. How has it been for you?

[@SlowWhip]

Ollie_I_FPV It did crash and freeze a few times the first week after I installed it. I contacted the guys from Grom and they sent me an update. Plus I figured out that I had to turn off Bluetooth phone and audio from the infotainment system. What happened was when someone call you, Both CarPlay and Bluetooth would ring at the same which confuse the system and make it crash. I have another video about it on the channel. I haven’t have any problems with it since I updated it and turn off Bluetooth from the infotainment system.

Hey man, it is great unit to have apple car play but i have two issues. First , my steering wheel´s buttons for make a call and hang up a call do not work. Second when I put my transmission to R, camera works but after that when I put my transsmison back to P,N or D does not go back to grom but i will go straight to factory radio... No idea what can I do.

[@SlowWhip]

Honestly I never answer phone calls with the buttons from the steering wheels, I just use the touch screen so I’ll test that and let you know. And when I put the car on D after backing up, it goes straight to carplay so I don’t know why it’s not working. Check if you have a system update available because grom vline send out updates every month and if you don’t do it after a certain time the system starts acting up. I had to do one like 2 days after I installed mine.

Thank you! I think adding grom to your unit is better. I heard these aftermarket Android screens don’t last long plus I don’t like how the look. And you have to remember that you have all your maintenance info, AC control etc on that OEM screen, you don’t wanna lose access to those.

[@SlowWhip]

Thank you! Yes it would Once you go on their website, select your make and model year then they’ll show the one for your car.

[@avia3.44]

How'd u get the button lights green?

[@SlowWhip]

The car came like that, it’s factory. I actually wanted to change them to blue but it’ll be too much work.

[@michael96701]

my lexus IS250 doesn’t already have the navigation unit or backup camera how can I get this installed in mine?

[@SlowWhip]

I’m not sure how you do it without nav but you can contact Grom vline. They might be able to help you

[@jonathanortiz4994]

Hey wadson have you had any problems I have it and it’s just awful

[@SlowWhip]

I don’t really have any problems with it. If it’s acting up, go to settings and see if they have any software update. Vline send out software update every couple of months and the system will start acting up if you don’t update it. It happened to me a few times. You can contact Vline as well but I hate that they don’t have a phone number.

[@OhSkizyy]

Nice video can you download the soundcloud app on that

[@SlowWhip]

Thanks! I haven’t downloaded SoundCloud app but I’m pretty sure you can

[@ericarg96]

Can I get this for a base model without a screen?

Are these good for is250s?

[@SlowWhip]

Yes 250 and 350

[@asifalimirza]

Another great video! I just bought the VLINE 2 for my 2010 IS350 and waiting for them to ship it to me. Have you had any issues with it? I've read a few comments that some people have had issues with their units. Also, how did you end up routing your wires? Thanks!

[@SlowWhip]

Mirz_786 Thank you 🙏🏽 It did freeze a few times after I installed it then I contacted Grom and they told to update the software and I did. I haven’t have any problems with it since then. As you can see in the video, there’s a little pass through in the glove compartment by AC filter. That’s where I rounded the wires.

[@asifalimirza]

@@SlowWhip Thanks again! You are my go to guy when doing mods! Pretty much every mod I think of you've already done them! BTW, have you done the ISF Steering ECU and ISF Steering damper mods? If not, you should! It changes the whole steering characteristics of the car

[@SlowWhip]

Mirz_786 Thank you very much 🙏🏽 I appreciate it. Oh by the way, they just upgraded to IOS14 so it’ll be even cooler now if you have an iPhone plus there’s a lot more you can do now with CarPlay.

[@asifalimirza]

@@SlowWhip You're welcome. I have an Android, so I will be using the Android Auto features. See my last post to you, I was editing it when you replied so you may have missed it. Please see my posts on clublexus regarding replacing the stock EPS ECU with an ISF EPS ECU and installing an ISF Steering damper: www.clublexus.com/forums/is-2nd-gen-2006-2013/947163-my-thoughts-on-installing-an-isf-steering-ecu.html www.clublexus.com/forums/is-2nd-gen-2006-2013/953719-2011-isf-steering-ecu-and-isf-steering-damper-post-install.html Worthwhile upgrades!

[@SlowWhip]

Mirz_786 Yes I’m planning on doing IS-F steering ECU upgrade and damper. I even have it on my purchase lists lol. I’ll do that whenever I upgrade my whole steering. I’ll be getting carbon fiber steering wheel.

Does the reverse cam work?

[@SlowWhip]

Yes it does!

[@birdman4088]

What happens if you are using Google Maps on CarPlay and then you click the Climate button, then click back to the screen. Does it close Google Maps, or will the route still be active when you switch back to the screen? Thanks

[@SlowWhip]

Astrosuns You just have to click back on audio button to go back to CarPlay. It doesn’t close Google map or turn off your music. Your music will still be playing and google or Apple map route will be active.

[@birdman4088]

Wadson Motoring thanks for replying I appreciate it. Do you use the wireless connection? How’s your experience with that, I had read mixed reviews of the wireless connectivity

[@SlowWhip]

Astrosuns You’re welcome! Yes I use wireless connection and it works great. Make sure to turn off your Bluetooth audio and phone from the infotainment system and let CarPlay do the job. I think that’s why some people are having problems with the system.

Love the video I have a question . Friend of mine has a 2009 Lexus is250 n he has the vline he sold the car but kept it n wanted to give it to me. Will it work in my car. I’m only asking bc on the grom site they have one specifically for the 2010 model n mine is a 2010 is there a reason why?

[@SlowWhip]

Yes 2010 to 2012 have different wiring process. That’s because in 2010 Lexus upgraded the infotainment system and added Bluetooth audio. All you need from them is the wire harness for 2010 to 2012 because the actual grom vline unit is the same just different wire. Tell them that you just need the wires for 2010 and up. You don’t even need to talk to them, you can just go on website and buy your cable. Contact me on Instagram I’ll give you more info and part numbers.

[@Crishlo1985]

Would I be able to order the wiring harness separate if I decided to take my friends vline?

[@Crishlo1985]

Absolutely love your page by the way big bro you def inspire me to enhance my is250
