I had the same issue when I installed the GROM in mine. The sound quality was complete garbage, anything above like 20 just sounded so washed out and basically distorted. So unfortunately ripped it out and sent it back and just using my VAIS still. Works fine, but definitely wish there was a better CarPlay optionI installed the Grom VLite VT2 in my 05 Lexus. I like it, my only gripe is the sound quality. It just not quite clean sounding, but then again, my daily driver has a harmon kardon system, so I might be a bit biased. The highs are a bit muffled and I am unable to resolve it after adjusting all sound settings on the factory system. It's almost like it's being transmitted with a lower than normal bitrate. I notice the same audio quality when using wired carplay as well, so it leads me to believe it's the device rather than the connection. It takes up a pretty large part of the glove box. Other bluetooth options (BT45-TOY and Crux BTS-ty1) had better audio quality, but I really don't want to have to use my phone for nav when taking longer trips. So I compromised. Curious who else has had issues with the audio quality of the VLite2.
The other option for me was to use a bluetooth adapter (Vais, Crux, USASpec) along with an external carplay screen that goes on top of the dash. I just didnt' want the wires everywhere. It kills me that $400 bucks later and I am having to compromise.I had the same issue when I installed the GROM in mine.

This uses the stock panhard bar, right?Eimkeith panhard bar correction bracket welded on. So far so good! First structurally important weld. The angles were hard with the mig.

Yes stock bar. I raised the axle side mount 2 inches with the new bracket. Didn't do anything to the frame side mount although the kit came with another bracket to lower that side an additional inch if I want to in the future. The bar is fairly level at this point.This uses the stock panhard bar, right?
Did use the new, lower hole in the upper/frame-side mount?
Funny, I just pulled over into a random parking lot to talk to a guy doing a mobile refinishing and repair to somebody’s wheels. Mine need it something fierce. Got rust starting around the valve stems and chips and scrapes all over them. How much did you end up paying? Just a ballpark so I’ll know what to expect! Those look great BTWFrom this

I’ve always liked the later year 100 series OEM wheels but mine were faded, stained and scuffed. Had these powder coated in hyper silver. Really happy with the results, including the black out on the cap logos. If you’re in Atlanta and need wheel refinishing, I’ve got the guy!
$150 per wheel. Hard to imagine a mobile refinish since they couldn’t remove the tires and stems. It would probably be more of a touch up. Hopefully cheaper though!Funny, I just pulled over into a random parking lot to talk to a guy doing a mobile refinishing and repair to somebody’s wheels. Mine need it something fierce.

That’s not bad! Yea he recommended actually bringing mine into the shop to do them since they had so much pitting.$150 per wheel. Hard to imagine a mobile refinish since they couldn’t remove the tires and stems. It would probably be more of a touch up. Hopefully cheaper though!
