As you replaced the original factory car stereo to the aftermarket Sony, you cannot add CarPlay with the GROM VLine VL2 system. The GROM VLine VL2 system works with the original factory car stereo and display.
I’m wanting to replace my radio in my 2014 Honda Accord EXL, I see that you have a demo video, but I just wanted to make sure and clarify; if I go ahead and go this route, do BOTH screens in the vehicle still work after the upgrade? And does the new radio work with the original backup camera and side mirror camera of the vehicle? Thanks!
Hello, with GROM VLine VL2 and VLite VT2 systems, you do not replace the radio. You keep original factory car stereo, and connect the VLine VL2 system to your original stereo. Then you will be able to use CarPlay and Android Auto, embedded into your original stereo. BOTH screens will work, all original stereo functions will keep working, and the original cameras will also keep working. For 2014 Honda Accord EXL you will need HON3VL2 model of VLine VL2 system, available here: gromaudio.com/store/vline/grom-vl2-hon3.html The system will work with your vehicle, if the vehicle has factory navigation.
We can place the main "brain" unit inside the glove compartment for easy access later. We always recommend installing the main unit in an accessible location.
Question, did the top display work as well as the stereo unit? I just had a Sony 4000 installed and I no longer have my top display 😢

What was the purpose of moving some of the harness to the glove box?
