Also has anyone had issues with the gps antenna not working, I set the navigation with many navigation apps and they all say gps not found, or no signal, I've tried connecting and reconnecting the antenna and nothing, I've mounted it exactly how and where the manual suggested I do so

I've already allowed location through settings
Do you have any idea when the update is supposed to be released? And whether it would be an OTA update or through USB?

Hi everyone,
I have a question for VL1 owners and/or the GROM team : where is the VL1 / VL2 unit supposed to rest once it has been connected to the back of the stereo ?
On this page, they show the installation in a FX35 which seems very similar if not identical to our G37's.
At the end, they put the VL unit in the gloves box and say "test VLINE before finalizing everything else"... And, that's it ! We are not shown what "finalizing everything else" implies .
So, does the VL unit just stay there, in the gloves box ? And what about the GPS antenna that was just mentioned on this topic, in the previous posts ?
Is there anything else that is not shown on this video, that we should know about ?
Thanks in advance

1. We usually recommend placing VLine in the glove box, it is convenient location and offers the great accessibility at the same time.
2. Per GPS antenna please refer here to the page 8 of the manual:
https://gromaudio.com/docs/vline_man...manual_web.pdf
In general in manual there are step by step guidelines on how to connect VLine to the stereo, as well as how to set up.
If anything is missing or unclear please let us know!
Thank you.

Ok, thank you for the reply. I am surprised that VL is not using the GPS and the microphone of the car.
Is there not a way to use them ? The OEM hardware is there and is already connected to the stereo.

Besides both GPS and mic looks almost factory and not truly visible to untrained eye.

can someone explain to me, why would you want a computer in your car, it will be too much distraction to make selection, i have used carplay and android auto , its all minimalist and quick to select , this stuff is not suitable for car too many buttons, too small

VLine has minimalist user interface that is optimized for automotive environment and easy to select/operate.

How can I use android auto, your website says it's compatible and you have videos on youtube deminstrating it but I can't get it to work myself, I plug it into the appropriate USB and I have android auto installed on my phone and it still doesn't work, the play store also doesn't let me download the standalone android auto app to install on the Vline, any idea of how I'm supposed to get this to work
Has anyone else had this issue or have android auto working in their car?
