Sorry to hear that :angry:

But maybe another solution is comming for you over the horizont. A member of the euro LOC board found an alternative solution somewhere in the net that enables the stock headundit to handle iPod AND USB devices.

It has an build in mp3 player and let you use the OEM stereo buttons to navigate through the file structure on you usb stick.

If you are interested - it could give you an alternative to Grom - you can find more information at the manufacture webside (chinese/english)

http://www.chelebao.com/

Or at their eBay store

MP3 player for TOYOTA-Lexus,Camry,Rezi,Corolla,Avensis

The price of the adapter is fair but the shipping cost to Germany a beyond of everything :angry:

Anyway.

You know that I'm loving my grom interface, but I hate these bloody playlist crap of the iPod. For that reason I've ordered this thing this morning. I'll keep you in the loop if it could be an alternative, or for some the only wax to bring high quality mp3 sound in the lex!

Cheers

I know that is absolut sh***y for you.

But we don't have to forget that tis Grom product is at least a quarter year on the market. And it is working for 90 % of the LEX IS driver. From that point I can say "RESPECT" BEFORE the release the only way to bring mp3 in the car was an FM transmitter or a tape adapter. Other products, like the VAIS TECH MP3 interface needed more than the double time on the market and cost about 250 Dollar.

Why we should not give Grom some time to fix their bugs and help them with specific error describtions over thei support channel to do that faster than in the past. OK we are beta tester......but the product is cheap (in comparisson to others) and it's working for most of the people

i no a lot of things are still to be found out about the ipod adaptors and oem hu

but it should be stated before purchase that its still in those stages that way a lot more ppl would be understanding if they have a problem

right now though i am gettin peeved off because they havent returned any of my emails since they said they sending update

you would think they would have the tech dept on it 24/7 trying to help

so at the moment i am stuck with a rather expensive (if you include shipping) doorstop!
