Default Just Ordered A GROM Adapter

So i have a 2002 lexus gs300, non ML, no navigation. It is a sport design with the different faceplate, but i don't think that matters..hopefully. Just paid $150 for the GROM TOY-B3 kit that supposedly plugs into the back of the stock radio? As well as a bluetooth mic and the ipod usb cord. Now i should have searched it a bit more, but does anyone here have any experiences with the GROM kit. I quickly searched and it seemed like most people went with the kit that was a USB.

Just installed earlier today and by far the best $150 I've spent in a long time. Sound is perfect

I just installed mine today... Kinda weird - whenever I turn on my car (radio is left in "cd" mode) and the Bluetooth connects, whatever song I had on pause starts playing, even if my music app is closed. Also, there is a popping sound sometimes when I'm typing. Do you have either if these issues? This is with a 5s...

You have to take I out of cd mode. For example if you turn the car back one and it's in fm mode the music won't be playing, but if you go back to cd mode then whatever you had playing will turn on where it was when you last heard it. As for the popping sound I did have it with certain songs so I turned the volume down on my phone an the popping went away. (Assuming you are playing it through the Bluetooth)
