@@BDCdrummer Did the new radio work? Did you have to reprogram it at the dealership? If so, how much did they charge you to reprogram it? Also, did other features like door sounds and directional lights sound came back after you replaced the radio? Mi radio as well as the lights behind the whole panel went off and I am trying to understand how to fix it.

@@claugogomez6924 Yes, AFTER I had the dealership reprogram it. I ordered the same part number from a junkyard and had it shipped to me. The dealer charged about $160 to program it. They told me they couldn’t guarantee it would work before they did it, but it has continued to work, so I’m happy I didn’t spend the $1400 dealers quoted me to install a new one.

Just installed this. Working well after latest firmware. There is definitely not room to mount to the top of the glovebox as hinted on this video. It only fits inside the actual glovebox, and it requires drilling a hole in the back of the glovebox to get the cables in. One day I’ll find some way to tuck it out of site.

@martylewis1736 Жыл бұрын

Note, before firmware update, the vline would not automatically trigger the radio’s USB input without unplugging/reconnecting the usb at the back of the vline. Luckily the latest firmware update fixed this.

@rbmx123 Ай бұрын

Okay I feel extremely dumb but is there not a receiver that you plug into? Is that what routing the wires into the glove box is for? I'm deeply considering the product but I'm just confused. If routing the wires into the glove box is for the receiver, is there any other alternate locations you can recommend so I can keep the use of my glove box?

@gromaudio Ай бұрын

The glove compartment is the recommended location, but it is not required. We always recommend mounting the system somewhere accessible so you can easily access it in case an update is needed. You can mount it somewhere below the glove compartment, for example.

So from the looks of it this unit isn’t coming out anytime soon based on a Comment it was supposed to be released or Start Shipping by April 15th The Website says May 31st 2021. How can I cough up $700 comfortably if The Customer Service isn’t reliable as well. I really want to buy it just hope it’s in stock on May 31st or Around that time.

There is no longer pre0order pricing available, so you can just wait until the product becomes available.
