Hi Grom team, Just finished the install in my 2012 Buick Regal GS using your GM vline kit. Works Great, I will keep you guys posted if I find any bugs. But looks like you could advertise it for these cars. Almost bought the Navtools kit instead, since your website does not mark the Regal as compatible. Thanks, Jose Sanchez
@@markbones1921 Hi Mark, I have not had any problems with the wireless android auto working in my car also wireless apple carplay works. Only thing I have notice is that the reception sometimes degrades or drops out when I am driving next to a semi truck with a trailer if I stay at a its side. But please note that I installed the vline box in the passenger kick panel so that might have something to do. I plan on relocating it closer to the glove box to see if it fixes the issue. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks, Jose S.
Going to get ready to install it in my 2009 cts-v, I bought the new upgraded one and capability to add your backup camera. I not sure I want to add camera yet but wanted to know as I install the vline do I install the wiring kit o bought to go with your camera and hook up the camera later? Or will it affect the system until I attach the camera at sometime, thanks
You can connect the VAUX RCA cable to the VLine now; leaving it disconnected will not affect the performance. Ensure you install the VLine VL2 main module in an accessible location, such as the glove compartment.
Hi, check our other videos in the channel for the examples: 1. Glove box: th-cam.com/video/aFxZGE2QCj0/w-d-xo.html 2. Microphone: th-cam.com/video/CafflZKsV6E/w-d-xo.html
It depends on your particular vehicle. On some vehicles there is already the space that allows you to get the cables to the glove box, on the others the drilling a hole is needed.
Just ordered this today for my 12’ CTS Coupe. Got a couple of questions. Do I have to use the gps antenna if I’m using my iPhone’s hotspot and gps apps through my phone? And do I have to install the mic? my car has a factory mic. Thanks
Thank you for ordering GROM VLine system! 1. We recommend using VLine GPS as it will enhance the iPhone's GPS signal and help to preserve the iPhone's battery. 2. Yes you will need to use the microphone that comes with VLine system.
Thank you so much for doing this video. Is it normal for the unit to generate so much heat. I worry because it’s installed in the glove box per instructions where there is no air flow.
I have not installed this yet or have experience with it, but I have installed aftermarket headunits and stuff before and they do get pretty hot because they usually have a shitty heatsink so I don’t believe that is abnormal but if it gets really hot it could overheat and not work until it cools down
Will this install into a 2011 Cadillac CTS Base? My car just has a basic radio and I want the clean OEM look with upgraded touch screen radio with Apple CarPlay.
@@damianoverrillo1599 technically you can, however we recommend installing the unit in the accessible location, so you can access to the units ports and connectors. This way you can update it if needed. Some installers install the units below the glove box, or on the side of the center pillar, so it is not visible from the outside.
I just installed everything last night and can’t get the AUX to light up on my factory screen to get to it. When I installed everything I used every connection into the back of the factory radio was I supposed to leave anything unplugged? Any help would be appreciated because I can’t get through to anyone on your site to try to sort this out.

Thank you for your interest in VLine VL2 system! Unfortunately we do not have any system available for First Gen CTS 04-07. We recommend you to sign up for our notifications at bit.ly/vline_interest to receive an update once the solution becomes available for your vehicle.
The mic usually goes near the sun visor, and the GPS antenna is usually mounted in the center below the plastic panel if the space allows, or on the top of the dashboard, in the right corner, as long as it is not obstructed by the metal.
Sorry still don't understand where GPS is mounted, I also have a cadillac cts v like the video, where did it go, and is there a video to look at that installation, thsnks!

I installed the vline2 in my 2009 cadillac cts v works great but now don't get phone call through the car system. Anything I need to do to set that up different. You have a video on how to get both vline2 android auto and phone working . Thanks
If you have an Android phone, the calls will go through the factory stereo system. You need to ensure you connect your smartphone to the factory stereo system Bluetooth for the phone calls, and to the VLine VL2 system for media and anything else. Here is the how-to: th-cam.com/video/OjV0bFsvhtY/w-d-xo.html
We do not have such specific video. However you can always exit out of the VLine mode/ Android Auto mode and use FM radio or any other OEM function of the stereo. Backup camera will also keep working. Please note that you can't be in FM radio and Android Auto mode of your stereo at the same time, as the stereo can't technically be in two modes at the same time.
You guys need to make something for the Chevrolet SS Sedan. 2014-2017. Nobody makes anything nor our 22k and something cars that's only in the USA. In Australia where this car is made there are alot of companies. They say UT all works with the US versions but they do not fully work. So we need something please. Already have a bad ass screen just need the right OS.
The blue cables matter! Please follow to our install guide when installing GROM product. The video cable GVMF should connect at the back of the display, and not the stereo. Please double-check on that!
The VLine VL2 system connects to the existing factory car stereo, so all original factory stereo functions, including moving up and down, will keep working.
Just inquiry as know GM parts work with Saab 9-5 ng 2010 to 2012. 8 inch screen wondering if can confirm if this option available. Litteraly 100s if not 1000s on Saab 9-5 ng owner groups would be very interested to know. Hopefully a yes and I share to forum's. Would greatly appreciate response either way 👍 Thanks
Does the stereo look the same? Please send us the photos of your stereo playing in FM mode to support at gromaudio.com We will double check. Thank you!
You need to lead the wires inside the glove box, and secure the VLine main module in the glove box. There is usually a hole available where you can run the wires through. Or you will need to drill the hole.

For Cadillac CTS 2008-2015 the most important is to have the MyLink 7-inch screen. If the stereo has MyLink 7-inch screen, it is compatible. Check here: gromaudio.com/store/vline/grom-vl2-gm1c.html
I just installed it yesterday and I noticed annoying flickering in factory screen during logo loading up, and while navigating through the original factory screen and while viewing the rear backup camera. But no flicker when using the vline v2 screen or when using the factory gps! All wires and harnesses where connected perfectly and we make sure that all wires ran smoothly with hard bent. Your help is needed.

@@gromaudio Thank you! How about for the CTS in this video?
@@kevinvanwynsberg373 for CTS in this video we made the small hole to get to the glovebox.
@@gromaudio Thank you! Appreciate the quick replies too.
With the new upgrade vline says it uses factory mic how to hook up on 2009 cts-v, thanks
You will plug the 3.5 mm audio jack that is now available on the power interface cable MCFGMLC to the mic port on the VLine.
What aftermarket backup camera would you recommend to be connected to your vline. I'm installing on a 2009 cadillac cts v, thanks
The one that we offer here: gromaudio.com/store/vline_accessories/camera-v-bcc1.html
My CTS doesn't have the Nav screen or head unit. Could you get those pieces and use this kit to basically get this whole setup?
Yes if you will replace the stereo to the compatible model, and add VLine to it, it will work.

Hi there one question does it has remote wire and Amp out put tu use after market systems?
This works with the factory stereos and uses factory amps.

Hi I’m assuming this should work on a 2010, but what happens after everything is put back into place? Where do the wires and the box go?

does the gen 2 cts grom retain the up/down function of the nav screen or is it static? cant seem to find that
It retains the up/down function.
My CTS doesn’t have the Nav Screen, what extra stuff would I need to do to make this kit work?
Unfortunately you will need to replace the stereo. VLine VL2 system requires the MyLink 7-inch stereo.
What was that unit laying on the floor.???

As part of the vbox installation omitted, where did you wire the mic and gps on the cadillac cts?
