It’s not just foam and leather.
There are electronics for the additional rear thigh support and massage feature. It retains the heating and vent from OEM.
The actual cost of the seat is not bad. It’s the shipping. I was quoted 6500. 1k of that was shipping.
If you were quoted 4k that is...
I use the GROM as a conduit for Carplay and use navigation there.
Google used to be just fine, but I noticed recently it screw with cutting off audio...even though I set it not to announce directions.
Apple maps works seamlessly and they do seem to be alot better then in the past
OR....I use...
Unless you strapped for cash I’d hold them. They will be like hens teeth in the future.
And some guys hate them but the one or 2 guys that will be restoring their old 200 and want to play the goonies on dvd for their kids on a road trip will pay good money for them.
I’m one of those guys...
Try different streaming apps to know. I agree it’s the phone some times.
Here’s a email from grom about the connectivity issue that was affecting wirelsss CarPlay.
You could also try wired CarPlay and see if that helps.

We added a feature to swap the WiFi bands to combat wireless...
you usually hit the AUDIO button to switch back and forth.
Make sure you update the software and firmware.
I don’t know if they have the newest firmware available.
I was sent an advanced copy last month and with that my display issues were solved.
They are planning for the android upgrade. But they’ve been saying that for a year or so.
Not sure if there is a year to year difference even within the 200 series.
From my knowledge for entertainment units for the 200 there is
Pre 2016
2016-2018
2018+
The later two are similar except for...
yup me too.
I used RPM in Monrovia here in CA and they were very familiar with the process
swapped and aligment included
and they said I'd get a prepaid check card, but I got a check about 2-3 weeks after submitting the proof of exchange
So a few things.
I have a 2017 LC so things may not all be relevant
Who is emailing you at GROM. I have had great success with Heath
I’ve had similar issues as you. Especially when they do a new upgrade that is probably optimized for a more popular Toyota car and doesn’t play nice with LC...
yeah a couple patches ago really screwed it up.
but I updated them and they did fix it. they also seem to have a LC200 test car as they have a video of adding usb charging ports to the 2nd row on YT.
But what I have done is keep a copy of the last stable firmware in case the update does...
yeah it really helps to have access to the USB port. you can even run a usb extension out to the glove compartment if you really want to hide it all. I installed mine ziptied to the passenger footwell cover so I have full access.
they added a way for the GROM to use multiple Hz for the local...
this is the infor I got from VLine
Below is how the sleep cycles work on the VLine:
When the vehicle is turned off, the VLine stays on for 15 minutes. (drawing around 0.3A)
When the vehicle is off for 15 minutes, the VLine goes into a light sleep mode. (drawing around 0.03A)
When the vehicle is...
Wow. Even at the worst my GROM wasn’t even close to that.
I just got an advanced copy of the firmware and I’d say i haven’t had any buggy things happen. Which makes me say it was 97% stable and now 99% stable. Super quick boot up too.
When i email them I usually get a response from heath and...
if both phones in the car it doesn't prioritize to the first listed phone.
It grabs my daughters iphone 15 quicker then it connects with my 13....
but if only one is in the car it will only connect to that phone
slow speed camera still work. If you want to look at GROM display, one push of...
So just an update on the Grom Vline for the LC200
If your GROM is working well do not update yet.
I have an advanced copy of the firmware 56
(the one before this one was a little unstable)
touchscreen is much more responsive
Random disconnects look to be completely gone now. Haven't had...
I wanna ask a favor for those with V5 installed or plan to install
The 16 pin connector with all the pink wires and has the yellow RCA V-Out on it, I'd love to know which pins that is wired to...
In looking at the FSM it looks like Connector F59 and Pin position 6 and 14 and 13 (GRD)
So if...
