As it is already stated the unit is stand alone, and does not require iPhone. If you must have CarPlay, there is no ETA yet. We will have the special deal for Club Lexus members when it becomes available.

Would you consider another promo when CarPlay is available? Since you don't have an idea when that will be, I hate to spend the money on it now and wait forever hoping for an update.

Out of curiosity, will the promo be the same price of $299?
Also, do you have any ETA on when carplay would be available? (a guestimate is fine)

To get the Google maps via VLine the internet connection is needed, and can be done via phone's WiFi hot spot tethering or stand alone hot spot with data plan.
can I PLEASE be a CarPlay beta tester for 2010+ isf with navi when it's released. I'm very happy to volunteer if you need more data!

....or maybe OPEN BETA Test? ( just an idea)

you win, we win kind of deal ( everyone would have to agree in advance that this is for further testing purposes, and that features/ functionality MAY change AFTER official release.

i can guess you'd have A VERY HIGH take rate with that offer.

No ETA, but we do our best. As for the promo, I can't guarantee anything at this point, but we will have a very special offer for sure.

Thank you for your interest in beta-testing for 2010. We need local people as we need the access to the car for beta-testing to make sure everything is good. We will keep you posted if we decide to open beta-testing for the people outside of our local area (SF Bay Area). Stay tuned!

VLine Gen 6 beta is going on now, here is the short clip:

Note how you activate the VLine by pressing AUX-USB button, see how you can switch the tracks (on stations in this demo) with steering wheel controls, and quickly access player controls.

For those who will be receiving yours soon... can someone make a much more in depth video showing the unit with various apps (pandora, spotify, maps, etc etc). Android and iPhone videos would be great.
