It does not, your factory ML system will work as it does now. You will also get the same high-quality sound for your CarPlay and Android Auto via VLine VL2.
Would this unit work if the car is imported from Japan and has a locked radio? I’d like to keep the stock infotainment system, but my radio requires a code to unlock it, Lexus in Japan can’t give me a code and neither can Lexus here. Does this unit override the lock from factory?
No, it will not work if your stereo does not function. You need to unlock it, and then you can add CarPlay and Android Auto with GROM VLine VL2 or VLite VT2 system.
Mark Levinson Surround Sound will keep working the way it does now, VLine system fully integrates into the factory stereo system and works with all factory speakers in the vehicle.
For 2011 the installation is different as the vehicle dashboard and the back of the stereo are different, however the principle is the same - you need to take the stereo out to connect to the back of the stereo. You can check our UA-cam channel ua-cam.com/users/gromaudio for all install videos that we created so far.
It is an add-on to the existing stereo in your vehicle. You will use your stereo and display and get the new features to it, such as CarPlay and Android Auto.

I need your help ! I’m trying to get the radio installed and the guy is saying I need a kit in order for the radio to fit. What are all the things I need to install this radio? I have a 2009 Ls 460 and nobody else seems to know all the things I need. He said if I just buy the radio he can install it but it won’t fit. Is that true ?
Fitting aftermarket radio into the car is not as easy as it seems to, however also depends on the vehicle and the way the front panel is designed. Lexus stereos are usually very integrated into the car stereo interior, that is it hard to simply take them out and replace them with something else. The installer is correct, as to fit the aftermarket stereo into Lexus LS460, you also need the integration panel that will allow you to look seamless and built into the vehicle's interior. If you want to add the CarPlay or Android Auto to your original Lexus stereo, please check our website here: gromaudio.com/store/vline/grom-vl2-lex5ls.html For stereos with NAV.
Bro mine 2012 can i do it and the another issue is if I raised the volume to max it discount the volume and if I switch in the screen from aux to any other like fm or whatever it doesn’t change until i switch the car off and turn it back on do you know whats the issue

If it does not plug, you are looking at the wrong connections. You need to locate the connectors at the back of the stereo display that fit. Make sure you look at the back of the stereo display (not the car stereo).
Putting an aftermarket head unit and it is cool and all but I don’t like how you have the buttons from the original head unit in the car still I hope there’s aftermarket trim that matches the factory trim but doesn’t have the buttons
We are keeping factory car stereo when adding VLine VL2 system to it. All factory functions, original stereo buttons, touchscreen are preserved. The VLine VL2 system is the add-on that preserves the factory car stereo functionality, and adds CarPlay and Android Auto on top of it. More information is available at our website gromaudio.com/store/vline/grom-vl2-lex5.html
The sound quality is not reduced, VLine is keeping original sound quality. The system emulates external CD changer in the vehicle and preserves all original sound.
@@tobycaust5450 yes that is correct, the entire Lexus system is preserved. You add the VLine VL2 system on top of it, and it fully integrates with the existing Lexus car stereo, touchscreen, steering wheel controls, and buttons.

Ok I have a few questions before I place my order to replace the screen in my 2007 LS460L. 1) Does this unit have an HD screen? 2) it said its an android auto system I have Apple and I see the demo on here has siri and apple car play so does this system have both apple car play and android? 3) will all my steering wheel controls work with this unit? 4) How does this unit compare to the Tesla style unit as far as reliability and features? 5) Lastly do u have this unit for 2002 Lexus GS 300? I currently have an after market JVC dvd nav double din in it but would like to upgrade to something like this.....
Thank you for your interest in VLine VL2 system! 1. The unit uses your factory touchscreen, and fully integrates with it. You do not replace your stereo or screen with VLine system. 2. The system has both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. 3. Yes steering wheel controls will work with the VLine system. 4. Tesla style has different concept, with Tesla style you replace full stereo. With VLine you add the extra functionality to the existing factory stereo and set up. With Tesla style you loose all your factory features, and need to integrate everything, including climate controls, etc.. With VLine it is simpler because VLine does not replace your factory stereo and does not disable factory functions. As of the reliability of VLine system, we strive to make it reliable. The system also comes with 18 month manufacturer warranty, and US based technical support. 5. We have the system that is compatible with the factory stereo in 2002 Lexus GS 300, you can check it here: gromaudio.com/store/vline/grom-vl2-lex3.html The factory stereo must have navigation. VLine integrates into the factory stereo, so Lexus needs to have factory stereo installed.

I need your help ! I’m trying to get the radio installed and the guy is saying I need a kit in order for the radio to fit. What are all the things I need to install this radio? I have a 2009 Ls 460 and nobody else seems to know all the things I need. He said if I just buy the radio he can install it but it won’t fit. Is that true ?
Fitting aftermarket radio into the car is not as easy as it seems to, however also depends on the vehicle and the way the front panel is designed. Lexus stereos are usually very integrated into the car stereo interior, that is it hard to simply take them out and replace them with something else. The installer is correct, as to fit the aftermarket stereo into Lexus LS460, you also need the integration panel that will allow you to look seamless and built into the vehicle's interior.
If you want to add the CarPlay or Android Auto to your original Lexus stereo, please check our website here:

For stereos with NAV.
Bro mine 2012 can i do it and the another issue is if I raised the volume to max it discount the volume and if I switch in the screen from aux to any other like fm or whatever it doesn’t change until i switch the car off and turn it back on do you know whats the issue
For 2012 Lexus LS 460 you will need LEX6VL2 model of VLine system, it is available here: gromaudio.com/store/vline/grom-vl2-lex6.html
As for the volume glitch with your stereo, we do not know what is causing it, maybe check with the local Lexus dealer?
@@gromaudio they scam bro all they want money I don’t go to the dealer anymore
@@khalifamazroui5512 got it
The video shows the small black box put near the vent with the 2 plugs...is that all you need? On the site is a whole box and more stuff to install...where is that going 🤷♂️
The small black box that you are referring to is the GPS antenna. The main module usually goes to the glove box.
Will this unit work on a 2012 Lexus LS460L AWD Executive pkg.?
Yes it will work as long as the stereo has factory navigation. Please check here: gromaudio.com/store/vline/grom-vl2-lex6.html

Is your stereo working in other modes, such as FM mode?
@@gromaudioyes, but I can't control anything in the screen.
@@stoplying2267 most likely the VLine VL2 will not work as well.

I like older cars and 90s, they were better looking👀
I have an 08 ls460 and I'm attempting this, I have a blue and grey plug as my in car harness while in the video it looks like two blue plugs and it doesn't plug into your GVMF harness.
If it does not plug, you are looking at the wrong connections. You need to locate the connectors at the back of the stereo display that fit. Make sure you look at the back of the stereo display (not the car stereo).
I have the same problem cant locate the other connector
@@bay4608 leave it unplugged, thats what they told me to do when I called. Their customer support is pretty good 👍
@@viperkev1978 thanks bro got it to work you the man
@@bay4608 no problem 👍
Putting an aftermarket head unit and it is cool and all but I don’t like how you have the buttons from the original head unit in the car still I hope there’s aftermarket trim that matches the factory trim but doesn’t have the buttons
We are keeping factory car stereo when adding VLine VL2 system to it. All factory functions, original stereo buttons, touchscreen are preserved. The VLine VL2 system is the add-on that preserves the factory car stereo functionality, and adds CarPlay and Android Auto on top of it. More information is available at our website gromaudio.com/store/vline/grom-vl2-lex5.html
Hi,
What about the sound quality? Is it reduced after the installation? Does it use aux for sound input?
The sound quality is not reduced, VLine is keeping original sound quality. The system emulates external CD changer in the vehicle and preserves all original sound.
@@gromaudio is the entire lexus system still there just with the addition of the carplay app?
@@tobycaust5450 yes that is correct, the entire Lexus system is preserved. You add the VLine VL2 system on top of it, and it fully integrates with the existing Lexus car stereo, touchscreen, steering wheel controls, and buttons.
@@tobycaust5450 These two systems will work with Lexus LS 460 2007-2009, with the factory navigation: gromaudio.com/store/all-lex5ls_.html
I want to purchase this but want to make sure we have someone to install. Do you know anyone in the socal area?
In general any car stereo shops should be able to do the install for you. You can also check our installer lookup tool:
gromaudio.com/installers.html
Bro by changing the screen ur unabiling the self parking feature!
We are not changing the screen, the VLine VL2 system integrates into the factory stereo and uses the same screen of the existing factory stereo. The self parking feature will keep working.
🔥👍🏿
Ok I have a few questions before I place my order to replace the screen in my 2007 LS460L.
1) Does this unit have an HD screen?
2) it said its an android auto system I have Apple and I see the demo on here has siri and apple car play so does this system have both apple car play and android?
3) will all my steering wheel controls work with this unit?
4) How does this unit compare to the Tesla style unit as far as reliability and features?
5) Lastly do u have this unit for 2002 Lexus GS 300? I currently have an after market JVC dvd nav double din in it but would like to upgrade to something like this.....
Thank you for your interest in VLine VL2 system!
1. The unit uses your factory touchscreen, and fully integrates with it. You do not replace your stereo or screen with VLine system.
2. The system has both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
3. Yes steering wheel controls will work with the VLine system.
4. Tesla style has different concept, with Tesla style you replace full stereo. With VLine you add the extra functionality to the existing factory stereo and set up. With Tesla style you loose all your factory features, and need to integrate everything, including climate controls, etc.. With VLine it is simpler because VLine does not replace your factory stereo and does not disable factory functions.
As of the reliability of VLine system, we strive to make it reliable. The system also comes with 18 month manufacturer warranty, and US based technical support.
5. We have the system that is compatible with the factory stereo in 2002 Lexus GS 300, you can check it here:
gromaudio.com/store/vline/grom-vl2-lex3.html
The factory stereo must have navigation. VLine integrates into the factory stereo, so Lexus needs to have factory stereo installed.
@@gromaudio Thx for the reply and all the information provided u answered my questions. But I do have another question for you and that's do u guys sell the Tesla style full unit? I was under the impression this system was a full unit not just a integration to the existing screen my screen doesn't work so that is the main reason for replacement Lexus wants way to much for a new screen and a used screen is over 600...
@@bikerboy2k142 we do not offer Tesla style units. Since you already have the aftermarket stereo integrated, the easiest way for you is to replace this stereo with the other aftermarket that has CarPlay / Android Auto.
@@gromaudio No I have the factory navigation and radio in my LS but the screen went out that’s why I’m looking to replace it because it’s cheaper aftermarket that buying Lexus. But my GS I do have an aftermarket JVC DVD Navigation In it now….
@@gromaudio you said this unit uses the factory screen right? It just has more updated features like CarPlay and Spotify and navigation gps. I really was looking to upgrade the screen with one that has a better more modern resolution the factory one is yellow and pixels like old game boy….
Could you post a video of the factory buttons still functioning as well as the backup camera and parking assist? I have a 2007 i am looking into one of these

Android Auto does not support VLine VL2 or vLite VT2 system phone calls. You will need to connect your Android phone to the factory Bluetooth for the calls.
