Acura MDX 2014 - 2020 VLine Android Navigation and Infotainment System install CarPlay Android Auto

[@gromaudio]

The GROM VLine VL2 system for the integration of CarPlay and Android Auto to the factory car stereo is available here: gromaudio.com/store/vline/grom-vl2-hon3.html

[@lrod8692]

Are there any instructions on removing the DVD player to access the screws under the radio unit

[@ScottParisi]

What's the impact on cabin filter changing? Does it produce audio over the active source or must you be in aux?

[@gromaudio]

There is no impact on the cabin filter changing. The audio is CD quality, you need to be in AUX (VLine) mode for the audio to play.

[@ScottParisi]

@@gromaudio Thank you for the detailed response.

[@wastejunk6203]

Can u help with no sound in speakers in carplay but it works in bluetooth.I also tried deleting bluetooth connection but no luck

[@gromaudio]

Check your Bluetooth connection and ensure you are connected via Bluetooth to VLine for media and not to the factory car stereo. Ensure that the stereo itself is the USB iPod mode.

Where you guys from would love for ya to do this job on my 2015 any suggestion

[@gromaudio]

We are in Dallas Metro area, and we can do the install for you. If you are not close to Dallas, TX, you can contact any local stereo shop in your area. They should be able to do the install for you. We recommend doing the installation on the weekdays. This way the shop can call us if they will have any questions. For 2015 Acura MDX you need HON3VL2 model of VLine system, available here: gromaudio.com/store/vline/grom-vl2-hon3.html The stereo must have the dual screen to be compatible.

The 8mm bolts aren’t loosening for me. It may be me but I’m going to try a socket grip

[@inprogress8750]

Hi we’re you able to get to the 8mm bolts? Do you have a DVD player? How did you do it please?

[@hitendraverma443]

@@inprogress8750 To get to those bolts, you have to remove the DVD player as well.

[@lrod8692]

How do you remove the dvd player?

[@TheChensoccer]

More like disassembly and voila, here is the finished product. Where is the part where the Vline2 is actually integrated into the factory headunit?

[@gromaudio]

This is also provided in the product manual, how to connect VLine system into the factory screen and at the back of the car stereo.

[@ericlamontagne8349]

Will thos work if u don't have tec pkg

[@gromaudio]

Yes, it will work as long as the stereo has two screens.

[@kuro5844]

Thank you. I needed this to repair my mother's car radio after i punched it and smashed the touch screen. lol, life saver

[@justinchew2445]

Would an Acura 2017 RDX have the same connectors as a 2015 Acura TLX?

[@gromaudio]

Yes they have the same connectors. Check here: gromaudio.com/store/vline/grom-vl2-hon3.html

[@gabrielstars1]

Any chance of making a video on how it works in this install ?

[@gromaudio]

Here is demo video in this vehicle: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anecooCdg9Zqqsk

[@618GOLDENRATIO]

looks interesting changing the cabin air filter

[@MrOscarLong]

Great job! Just wondering will this work with base model Non ELS 2014 to 2016 MDXs?

[@gromaudio]

as long as the stereo has dual screen it will work.

[@DirtySanchezPB]

Also is there a more detail tutorial on how to use it? Where do i plug my usb wire? Would it be in the center council. Do we press anything to launch it? What does the 2nd half of the screen display or is just there for audio input? Is the price firm? I think 600 bucks is bit excessive same goes for the navtool too much money. Thanks.

[@igyw]

[@gromaudio]

Yes the steering wheel controls will keep working.

[@kjcl90]

Is this the same install as a 2014 Honda Odyssey?

[@gromaudio]

It is similar.

[@pavlins123]

Is there a DIY guide for full installation in Acura MDX ?

No has nothing for a 2001 Acura mdx?

[@travis3567]

You should mention that the 8mm bolts are nearly impossible to get out if you have a DVD player equipped MDX. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@gromaudio]

Thank you for the comment, we did not experience such issue.

[@leehaola]

I got the same issue, the DVD player blocked the 8mm bolts, may I know how did you solve it?

[@travis3567]

@@leehaola I had to use a ratcheting wrench that has a flex joint right before the ratchet portion.

[@leehaola]

@@travis3567 thanks for your advice! You don’t need to remove the DVD player? That’s a good news! I will buy a tool and try again.

[@inprogress8750]

@leo how did you do it please. I need to do mine. It has the DVD player

[@chaselyons2033]

Too bad it’s so overpriced
