Not as of yet. If that changes I will let you guys know. My guess is they will roll it out with Apple only apps in dashboard and adjust it in iOS 14 - 20. :-)

Looks good @HUSKERnKS , thanks for sharing! I installed iOS13 on my phone today too and am loving the new facelift on CarPlay. Quick question for you. All my maps default to night mode when I use CarPlay on the GROM and I don't have a way of making them be automatic with the time of the day. Is this happening to just me or you've experienced that as well? That was also the case prior to iOS 13.

Good to know because when I reported it to GROM, they told me it was my phone and not them because no one else has reported it

So I finally got around to cleaning up my install and deciding how I wanted to mount this thing securely. Ended up using M4 x .7 bolts from the backside of the glovebox with nuts and it isn't ever going anywhere now. These were the shortest ones hardware store had in stock. Will fix that later. Other than that, just a bit more tidying up cable wise and I'm pretty happy with it. Next is to do a lot of reading before I tackle my next install which is fogs with OEM stalk. All parts are ordered (I think) and just need to make sure I understand everything. I've got a rubber grommet and a new cabin filter cover on order as the first slipped from the vice when I was drilling the hole for the grommet...oops. Here's a few pics...and yes, I vacuumed it out afterwards...

Nice clean install I didn't have the guts to drilled into my glove box so mine is just sitting on the shelf now. It isn't going anywhere either. Fogs with OEM stalk is pretty straight forward. Just follow @PK_Celsior How To guide...nothing out of the ordinary. Mine was done under 1.5 hrs without taking the bumper off.

I left room behind it to pop the door off and slide the filter out.

No room. Plus you need access to all the ports. I had to yank the main harness a couple times already to force a hard reboot. Having this tight behind the radio would be a major pain in the ****.

When I get this, I'm going to wire a switch to where you guys put the USB so I can hard reboot without having to take everything apart.

Both youtube apps work just as if it was installed on an Android tablet. Can't speak for iTunes.

As Vline is essentially an Android device most Android apps will work as advertised. No iOS apps (besides Carplay) will run on this since it's Android only.
