Nice to know it works well, I have a 2017 RX 350 F as well. My glove box is already packed with the car manuals and my cell link battery pack for my Thinkware F800 Pro dash cam. Not sure I have any room to spare in the glove box. I plan on routing the cables into the center compartment and installing the GROM and Cell link there. There is a second tray at the bottom you can remove and there is PLENTY of space to mount stuff. I mounted things like this in my GS and worked really well. Out of sight and doesn't take any space I wasn't going to use for anything anyways.
Nothing different, they are pretty much identical. It can definitely be mounted in the glove box with a little slack in the wires to take into account the opening angle of the door. That hole is way too large but I guess you won't see it when it's closed so if it works for him, then more power to him!

Hi All,
Been working through the system since I installed it this past weekend but I'm running into some issues installing GApps. Vline starts the download but stops about 1/4 of the way through and I alternate 2 different error codes:
1) Error: write file error. unexpected end of stream
2) Error: write file error. Software caused connection abort
Did anyone else run into this? Submitted a ticket to Grom but haven't heard back.
Thanks

Never encounter that error before. As I remember, first time install GApps, I had to leave the car running. It took awhile downloading the large file. If your car shut off during installation, it may lead to file corruption. You may want to connect to home WiFi for faster download. If you WiFi signal is weak in the garage, get an extender. I don't recommend downloading large files on Cell HotSpot.

For those who have used Wireless Carplay, I see an option to connect but after I go through the pairing, it gets stuck on "Waiting Carplay UI....." and never connects. Any ideas?

So far so good. Getting random glitches here and there but nothing to complain too much about. Thanks again to everyone on the thread for the help!

Anyone update to 3.18 yet? Any idea when wireless CarPlay is coming out? I talked to tech support abs they said end of the month like two weeks ago

With CarPlay it’s in the CarPlay menu; you have to turn on Bluetooth on the vl2 and pair your phone with the vl2. Try that and see what happens..

I ALSO found out you can use Wireless CarPlay and share your phones internet with the VL2 if you enable share internet under the bluetooth option of the bluetooth connection your phone is using with the VL2. The only issue is the phone then tries to use the Bluetooth connection of the VL2 for internet, I wish there was a way to hotspot one way. I guess this is more of a hack than anything. I'll follow up if anything comes of it.

also, great to hear wireless Carplay is in v.3.18. I’ll have to update and try it out.
