I don’t recall the VLite being an option when I purchased my VLine.

Hello,

I believe my system is bricked. I purchased the Android 12 upgrade and installed it. All was fine throughout the day. Went to start the car and got bars on the screen that never went away. I waited for 10 minutes and nothing. Turned the vehicle off and turned it back on, and now it only goes to the OEM side. Has anyone had this issue before? My unit will no longer boot into the VLINE screen. Only the LEXUS OEM system side. Its a 2010 Lexus LS460.

Have you tried pulling the power from the unit itself? Rather than just turning the car off? Also I’d contact Grom support. They are typically very responsive.

I had this issue a couple times and completely unplugged and replugged it in and all was well, until it happened again.

I’ve contacted them several times and their go to is always “do you have the latest firmware?”

Yes, I’ve had it 6-7 months and updated firmware multiple times.

For now, I will use it and it works “ok enough” but once I find a better alternative, it’s coming out and going in the trash, way too glitchy and frustrating for how much $ it costs

Pretty disappointing

Do not recommend

Hello,
Sorry to hear about the difficulties with GROM product. As suggested above, try to unplug the main VLine VL2 unit from the 20-pin power interface cable, and let it "sit" for about 10 minutes.
Then replug it back, cycle the ignition and enter the GROM mode of your stereo.
If that will not help, contact our technical team at Support and Questions - https://gromaudio.com/support.html We will help!

Before the latest firmware, the unit was working fine but after the latest one I’ve needed to unplug the unit multiple times in order to get it to boot.

VCore:V2SC4.13.0.0
VBase: 20.91 (L32)

Exactly

With each firmware update I get new problems

I’m pretty much over it

I will say, that most forums/facebook groups that cover the GROMs say that if you have a stable release, unless there is some known feature you are getting a fix for, you should stick with your stable release. If you know of one that was more stable, GROM will send it to you so you can flash back to it..I"m not sure if that's possible with the Android software updates, but I know they will send you older firmwares for the hardware parts.

It is the latest version, and there should not be any problem with it. Please contact our technical team at Support and Questions - https://gromaudio.com/support.html They will look further into it.
