Android Auto/ Carplay options
Hi All,
I know this is like beating a dead horse, but I'm ready to purchase one of the android auto integration units. I've narrowed down to the following:
GROMVLINE $499 - https://gromaudio.com/store/vlite/se...n-upgrade.html
BEATSONIC $749 - https://www.beatsonicusa.com/lgvifcb4.html
CARLINKLIFE $439 - https://carlinklife.com/products/wir...n-with-android
Has anyone tried these units? If anyone has real experience with these units, please feel free to let me know pros/cons. I want to be able to use factory steering wheel controls, microphone, cameras, etc.
If you know of any other options, please let me know as well.
I will be installing myself, I'm not concerned with install times or difficulty.
Thanks!

We are using BeatSonic and it works fine. The wireless CarPlay was a must.
the graphics are correct and the mouse works fine too.
i have heard some of the others have issues with graphics and the mouse.
i used BeatSonic in my 2002 and 2007 SC430s with zero issues.

We also have the demo video of the system installed into Lexus LX 470 2004-2007:
The functionality is about the same, just the screen quality is better in the newer Lexus stereos. CarPlay and Android Auto both work wireless, and integrate with the touchscreen in your car. For 2008-2009 Lexus LX570 with the factory navigation you will need LEX5 model of VLine VL2 / VLite VT2. Check here for available systems:

Hello! If anyone is looking to add wireless CarPlay because their car already has CarPlay, we have a product made in the USA that comes with a five-year warranty. Additionally, we offer another product that adds HDMI input, allowing you to add HDMI devices and additional cameras, such as a front camera, to your vehicle without dismantling the dashboard. You simply plug it into the USB port of your car. This product works on cars with both wired and wireless CarPlay.
For members using things like Ottocast who are limited to either watching video or doing wireless CarPlay unless they purchase a SIM card, our pure HDMI input eliminates this issue. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me or use the live chat on our website.
