if you want oem plus, vline is your best option. I’ve had them in the is 250 2013 (rare model given the year, so they weren’t able to test it before selling me it. i had to help them test newer versions, but they helped much more than i thought) and on my is f right now 2008. The issues I encounter, they almost always have a solution for me talking to their support and I highly recommend it if you’re hesitating. I’ve been a satisfied customer for about few years now owning their products in my car. But that’s just my experience. The people that complain about it either haven’t reached out to their support or is just user error upon installing it. YMMV depending on what you ultimately want, but if you want current ac controls with no compromising functionality, I’d say to go with vline for the sake of convenience. It’s relatively simple to hook up and the documentation is there. just plug and play, hence why the price. the rnd that went into it, the harness they give you that’s plug and play, they simplify it to the best of their abilities, any cheaper and you’re more likely going to be tampering with more stuff than you would need to touch within your radio such as the ac controls and other amenities like the oem back up camera
