It is ridiculous that customers have to pay for this update. And to add insult to injury that charge for shipping !!!

Can you guys make a kit compatible with a Nissan leaf 2013 to 2015, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. The system on my leaf sucks. I've greatly enjoyed this system on my g37!

That stereo is all-in-one style, easier to replace with aftermarket double DIN unit than trying to utilize 5'' screen.

I have the SL with the 7 inch touch screen, the problem with an aftermarket radio is I would lose some key functionalities of the car. Some car related settings wouldn't work or be adjustable anymore, sadly the after market is not an option, if this system could work similarly like it does in the g37 it would be perfect!!

Actually I figured it out, turns out there was one more OTA update after that so get Android auto to work
Now just looking forward to Vline 3 when the charging times through USB is actually usable, using Android auto through the USB is actually going to discharge my battery instead of charging it lol, I either have the choice of fast charging my phone and using Vline with WiFi hotspot or charging my phone very slowly and using Android auto.
I'm really happy with the new update to the interface and everything with the new update, just wish the whole charging through the USB port was faster, in any case still happy with the Vline2 !

*Update*
Or if you could do wireless Android Auto that would be great too! That would solve the charging situation as well as still allow me to use all the functionality of Android Auto!
Maybe in a future update?

Is there a fix for the issue with the resolution for android auto? Resolution needs to be bigger to clearly read the text.
