Thanks! I'm not an iPhone user and was testing my friend's iPhone on my GROM. CarPlay's GUI seems a bit cleaner and easier to use than Android Auto.

Google "club Lexus grom vline" to read more user experience.

Make sure to read user reviews on the grom vline before purchasing. It's super buggy right now.
