Since public shaming seems to be the only way to get a response once the company goes dark...
I have now been without a functioning unit since 04-AUG. That's over a MONTH.
I feel like your organization is slipping back into it's old habbits of not communicating with customers.
I haven't heard anything since 04-SEP.

Thank you for your patience, and sorry for the delay.

Some more additional feedback I want to add after a few more weeks of usage. I realized that I can download Google Maps and Spotify playlists offline. So now if I don't want to tether my phone to the VLINE, I can still use these functions. I'm still impressed by the VLINE and would recommended it for the upgraded tech in our cars.

Hey @GromAudio... What are the chances we could convince you to perhaps produce a higher resolution screen? You're already doing all the video re-processing...
I'd gladly pay a premium for a higher resolution screen.

Hey everyone! I purchased and installed the VL2 onto my 2010 G37 a couple of months ago and figured I'd throw my two cents in.
First of all, I have been very pleased with not only the features the VL2 has added to my aging G37, but also the very quick support from GROM on any issues. I, like some of oyu, have mostly used the CarPlay feature since I'm an Apple user. Every once in a while, I'll pop back into the android side and use some of those apps using my phone as an internet source. I just read about the Apex launcher from JSylvia007's post, I'll have to go download that and see how it looks.
I had the airbag and TPMS issues when I first installed but resolved both of them per the instructions others have given.
Since I am a CarPlay user mostly, I did not install the GPS antenna, it looks like CarPlay/Apple Maps uses your iPhone's GPS antenna, which works for me. I did mount the Mic along with the USB cable as shown in the images below.
I am also waiting patiently on Android 7. Even though I am mostly over in the CarPlay app, I would like to see if that improves any of the audio delays with Siri/CarPlay phone calls others have mentioned.
My bluetooth streaming seems to be choppy still, I wonder if this has anything todo with my Apple Watch. I will try turning it off and seeing if it improves. I also don't recall seeing album artwork via bluetooth. Again, not a huge problem for me since I am sticking with CarPlay. OnlyNismo, did you see album artwork through Bluetooth??
Lastly, up until the latest firmware update (20 or 21 August I believe), my steering wheel controls behaved as follows: Up: Next track/station, Down: Prev track/station. Some users have called this backwards, but it appears to be the behavior in the Inifiniti OS (I checked the FM source in the Infiniti OS and verified Up is next preset and down is previous preset). Also the 2010 G37 owner's manual lists this behavior as the correct behavior. However, after the update, they are now Up: Prev track Down: Next track, which admittedly matches the radio-mounted controls, but now feels backwards from what I've been used to for years. Can anyone verify I am not going crazy on this??
Thanks GROM for a nice product and more importantly for the great and responsive customer service!
Mic and USB come out of this console, and can hide in there if needed.
ProClip mount works great aesthetically

I currently have a 2009 G37 Sedan NON Nav....BASE model, No Bluetooth, No Backup camera, No BOSE
1) When installed can I use this to make phone calls?
2) Will I be able to use it for my backup camera? (auto switch when in reverse)
3) Does my iPhone have to be “plugged in” for CarPlay to work? Or is there a wireless option?
This looks like a really expensive option $900 CAD with shipping. Even though NavTool has a CarPlay option I hate the stupid remote that comes with it, this incorporates a “STOCK” look and feel. Any help is much appreciated on here.
