Q's for LC Grom Vline2 owners?

[LCMemphis]

Before I pull trigger, just want some feedback on unit's performance. My LC is 2010 and factory screen is obviously weak in terms of resolution, contrast in bright light, etc. I'd be using the hardwire Android Car play version. My questions are--
is there a noticeable lag time when powering up or changing screens?
Are various apps like Waze, Google maps Pandora, Spotify easy to see on screen?
Any problems going from Climate to CarPlay screen?
I'm thinking of upgrading OEM rear view camera to something better that illuminates more at night and also shows grid lines....has anyone done this? Grom says they can add the adaptor for the camera cord.
Lastly, about how many hrs for an experienced technician to install?

Thanks in advance

No lag on my 2008. The annoyances are due to Toyotas decision to automatically switch screens etc. for example when shifting to reverse and back to drive I have to manually switch display back to the Grom.

As long as you have a good existing screen (not yellowed), then you'll be happy with the VLine2. It is about a 2-hour install for a DIY if you REALLY take your time. Those who have done it before can probably do it in 45 mins or less.

Overall, one of the better upgrades I've done
