Winner, winner, chicken dinner!! Thanks so much! That solves the airbag problem. I think the TPMS issue is an actual issue lol. Gonna swing that by the dealer soon.

My experiences are still positive. I feel that it adds so much to the dash and now I no longer have the phone occupied in navigation mode.

Two questions... When is the next Android version planned (and what version is planned)? Is there any way to change the volume muting length? Right now, when anything interrupts the audio, it stays at a low volume significantly longer than it needs to, which is annoying in high-direction-change areas using Nav.

JSylvia, what are you doing for data? USB tethering?

JSylvia007

I'm using WiFi hotspot on my cell. My plan forward is to look at a standalone hot spot in the car, but I'm open to other suggestions if there's a way. Ideally I'd like a USB LTE connection right into the device.

We plan on releasing 7.1 update after extensive testing around mid April. We will have T-Mobile modem supported pretty soon via USB. Will announce shortly.

I would like to officially volunteer as an alpha / beta tester.

Hello,


I am interested in your product for my car, a G37 Convertible that was bought in June 2010 in France. I have a few questions :

- Do you ship your product to France, and if so, how much do you charge for shipping and delivery, and how long will delivery take (approximately) ?

- I bought the car in 2010 but, since Infiniti France makes changes to the cars before selling them, it might have initially been manufactured in 2009. Is there any way for me to find this out, and can I safely buy your newer "V9" product ? (edit : should it matter, every French G37 has navigation stereo.)

- Can the language be changed from English to French in the Android system, in Google's Play Store and in your custom apps ?

- Your system apparently uses the AUX port. When I plug anything in this port, my car needs to be stopped and the handbrake (footbrake, actually) must be activated to get anything displayed on the OEM screen. Will I have the same issue with your product ?

- Does your USB modem work with foreign mobile companies ?

- Instead of using your mini bluetooth keyboard, can I use my Android phone with a bluetooth keyboard app ?

- Do you plan to release an updated device with stronger components in the future ? Maybe with a higher-resolution screen to replace the OEM one ?


Thanks in advance for your replies

Thank you for all the answers

I also contacted your company through the support page of your website and have been asked for pictures there. I can post them here as well if that's helpful for anyone else ?

Do you have any vague estimate about when VLine 2 could be released ? Maybe alongside the Android 7.1 update, or do you think it will happen a lot later ?

Hopefully V2 will allow screen mirroring. Actually, you could scrap all the other software/features and just enable screen mirroring

gromaudio

You can get it now from some Chinese companies. There is no need in full blown Android for simple screen mirroring. Just note that using your phone while driving is illegal in US. We strive to provide OEM experience that enhance the driving habits.

VL2 is due in 6-8 weeks. We will send presale invitation next Tuesday. It will be 7.1 already. Make sure to sign up to our newsletter.

Just a couple questions that I either missed or didnt see in this thread:

1. The VLine kit comes with a microphone, but my car has a microphone built in. Do I still have to install your microphone into my car? Was the factory mic in signal unable to be hijacked by the VL1?

2. Does it matter if my car comes with factory Bose? i didnt see any mention of that.
