I know it's been 2 years since the last post. But was wondering if anyone had any updates to share reason I ask...
I have been running the Grom Vline for years and loving it, except my LCD is starting to fade out... 2005 GX
Recently the AC has been acting weird and would start blowing hot after idling for a bit. I thought maybe the fan is weak, so I added another fan ran off a relay, which didn't help.
The other day the AC won't turn on at all No HVAC at all not fan heat ac nothing the AC controls are dead, and a message un the climate screen states something like Check the Air Conditioning Connection and the HVAC controls that are usually populated on that screen are not there.
Check all connections in back, check all fuses and everything checks out.
I think the HVAC controller has failed
Also, the heated seats do not work, the red LED on the wheel switch does not turn, IDK if its related or not??
So instead of finding some used HVAC controller, I figured I would get one of these tesla radios...
OR does anyone know if I can install a newer model year Nav Screen, I have heard the 05 and 06 sux compared to say an 08??
As far as I know there are 3 companies that make these "Tesla" screens for GX;
Phoenix Automotive - Bad reviews and don't return emails or Facebook messages
Rhino Radios - They have allot of complaints as well, including the BBB
Merge Screens - can't seem to find any negative feedback, their system only has one camera input for back-up. I currently have a forward facing into my Grom for looking over hill crests, make the wife less nervous off roading.
