Please update to FW36. Should be fixed

KYLS

I realize this thread is a lot to process, but you may want to read/search before making such statements. A VL1 is a metal box with a few relatively cheap circuit boards. I agree an iPhone is not something easy to upgrade, but miss your point.

See Page 64, Post #953, from March. GROM Audio's words, not mine ...

No problem, JoeDaddy1. I wish I had bought another VL unit during the pre-sale, though I hadn't realized I would be adding another LS to the fleet. I suspect there are more than a few of us that passed on the sale because of the promise of a presumably, less expensive upgrade module. Now waiting while jealously watching you guys play with your new toys.

Grom,

I am still having black screens on startup as well. If I start ACC before starting the car it works every time. The FW only seems to have reduced the black screens at start up by 50%.

Good to know. Let us play with it some more today. We had no problems running it for past few days so far.

It seems to have a higher likelihood of happening when the car has been sitting for at least 3-4 hours. I thought it might be related to low voltage of my car's battery, so I installed a brand new Optima battery. The Vline is still exhibiting the same behavior where the nav screen does not come on (neither does any sound). Before the update it was happening a couple of times a day, after the update maybe once a day. I do have a questions about the predictive wake function in the Vline settings: what does this do and when should I enable it?

Otherwise, I have really been enjoying the Vline now that I have it setup the way I want.

I almost considered buying the vline1 or vline2 because the vaistech units I bought were missing an important harness. Since vaistech no longer makes their unit they couldn’t help me, but after a lot of research luckily I was able to perfectly make the harness it needed. It has no issues at all like what I’ve read here, also the factory USB port is still functional. I’m now selling the 2nd vaistech unit I have and listed it here on the forum. But no matter which unit you use it’s a cool add on to have and I’ve been having a lot of fun with it! Hooked up a tv tuner and a mini SNES lol

so my ATT phone does not allow hotspots... and not everyone in the family has Apple phones.

So I bought one of these wifi units for $10: https://www.freedompop.com/affhotspot-14d (NO, THIS IS NOT AN AFFILIATE LINK)
And 1-year 1gb/month data plan to go with it for $30: https://www.target.com/p/freedompop-...a/-/A-53511519 (SEARCH FOR $20 OFF $50 TARGET coupon on google.. You text Target and they'll message you back a code right away..)

So about $40 for the first year.. and starting second-year, it should be about $30 a year for 1gb/month of data. Under $3 a month.. I can accept that. ATT network.. wish it was Verizon.

I'll probably connect the wifi unit to the VLine's USB to turn on/off with the whole system.

For those of you (like me) who past on GROM's early bird VL2 pricing, or need another. BklynJay has set up a group buy with GROM. You may want to check it out. We need 2 or 3 more to agree before orders can be placed: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...ferrerid=95767

I thought you might also be interested in the response I got back from GROM to my ticket asking for ETA on the VC2 module and inquiring about this group buy. Sounds like we may be able to combine it with the current special price (until that ends), so perhaps an even better deal. I believe that is what they are stating, or perhaps they mean instead. Not sure.

what was your issue?

My WiFi is REALLY weak..
My tablet and phone works fine, but the Grom has trouble connecting.

Haven't tested out the BT yet.
