GROM VLine2 vs ___

[xeuxaz]

Do you know if it's a drop in for a later model  with the Mark Levinson?

My understanding is yes it is.

Yes - I have this and it's working perfectly. Both AA and CP wireless work really well, very rare that I need to shut down/restart Carlink (the AA/CP app).

Perfect if you're planning audio upgrades as well - you can replace the ML amp with a regular amp and speakers. I've got an Alpine and some Gladen speakers going in next week...

Hope you have better luck than i...I have the cc3 2k head unit in my gx470 along with a pair of Sony ES component speakers and an Audiocontrol DSP amp.

The interface is kinda glitchy, not terrible, but not very straight forward. The worst part is the sound quality...i have an annoying "whine" no matter if my volume is up or not and the sound is incredibly thin sounding. I went into the menu and turned some of the gain settings down, which made it less annoying, but still can't figure out why my audio is worse than factory. Now for the record I have not replaced my rear speakers yet, but I'm not sure thats the reason for the crappy sound.

Any pointers I might be missing?

I do have an LX, not a GX ...

Yes agreed, but still have a teyes cc3 2k, so figured it would be a similar experience

How well it works seems to be heavily dependent by your specific make and model year. I own the pre-2k version with a 06 LX and it sounds noticeably better than the OEM stereo unit. Otherwise there may be some quirks which you may (or not) overcome.

@Nori470
You could temporarily reconnect your stock stereo to confirm if your speakers/amp are bad.

You also may want to inspect or try a different grounding point for the cc3. Like use existing stock ground wire versus adding a new one to chassis.

Is the whining constant, or related to the engine speed?

Reviving this thread. I have an 05 LX and was going to install an AUX adapter with a portable carplay but have an option to buy a VLINE 2 for $150, anyone having continued success with these?

Yes… Still working great. I think you just missed their $100 off Black Friday/ Cyber Monday sale… Call them

Thanks for response. I found someone on a facebook group who replaced his with a tesla style screen and is selling his vline2 for $150. So I thought it may be worth a shot at that price. I was close to pulling trigger on a portable unit, but for roughly the same cost - this may be the way to go. I had just read that it was really buggy.
