Vline CarPlay issues
I have been plugging iPhone into usb1. Vline detects it is plugged in and the dashlinq CarPlay icon briefly flashes green then turns grey. I cannot detect vline CarPlay unit when I activate CarPlay on iPhone 6. I have tried on multiple iPhones and get the same result. The iphones CarPlay app just searches and never detects USB CarPlay unit to connect. I have been working with Grom tech support to troubleshoot this issue. They are now suggesting I RMA.

Just confirming all updates are OTA or do I need to download firmware updates and install via one of the USB inputs? I still have no luck with local music even after reformatting microsd card multiple times. Im I missing something?
Another annoying factor is the vline doesn't automatically find my iphone6s hotspot. I have to turn off local hotspot and than on before I drive or it won't find it.
Besides this I absolutely love the v-line!

As for the hotspot thing, that is an iPhone issue. I find it kind of annoying as well, but if it really bothered me, I would just get a dedicated mobile hotspot for my car.

Music on my USB sounds bad
Ok so I installed the unit in my Lexus and everything works fine. But I have my USB plugged in to the unit and the music does not sound that good. Before I got this unit I put all these songs that are on my USB stick on my phone and played them through the 3.5mm head jack that came with the car and it sounds fine. Is anyone else having this problem?

I'm looking at upgrading my '06 IS 350 with Mark Levinson setup and considering the GROM Vline, but wanted to ask a few questions for those that have it.
* Sounds like Carplay works, but is under beta, right? Does it work wirelessly or via USB?
* No Android Auto support nor word on when it might be available, right?
* How do you configure your bluetooth phone and audio functionality with Grom installed? Do you unpair your phone from the existing factory system? Does your phone switch to factory system when a call comes in and back to Grom for Bluetooth Audio?
* Were there other systems out there such as Grom that you looked at before choosing Grom? What were some pros and cons you looked at?

1. Carplay is under beta, and works via USB.
3. You can connect your phone's Bluetooth to GROM-VLine for Audio only, and keep the factory Bluetooth connection for hands free phone calls. The phone will switch to the factory BT system upon the phone call, and back to VLine as soon as you hag up the call.
Thank you for your interest in VLine!

1. Try different USB stick;
2. Make sure that you connect the USB stick into USB2 port, as mentioned here:

Grom vline and Kodi?
Hi, I have no clue on Kodi , but an LS member told me to use Kodi on the vline...but I don't know how..
I would like to have:
A large music (320 mp3 quality)/ movie library on a hd connected
Spotify online + downloaded music
Google/Waze maps
Phone (Samsung S7) ?
Utube
SKYPE
Is this possible...?? If so, can someone please help me tell me in detail where i could find it and how to innstall it to the vline.
Or better ...send me the necessary installation files that You may have used if You have Kodi already installed...
They can be sent to me via https://www.filemail.com/
There You can send free files up to 30Gb

I am still waiting for my 2010-2012 unit to ship. Initially it was supposed to go out the 1st week of March. Then it was changed to March 26th. Now it has been changed to April 10th. I figured that after the 1st gen release, they would have planned better for this release. Guess will just have to wait longer.
