Just picked up 2011 cts coupe And first thing I thought was man if only it had car play and one CZcams search later I’m here this looks way easier then I thought
Thank you, here is the link to the system that will fit to your 2011 CTS - gromaudio.com/store/vline/grom-vl2-gm1c.html
Hi Grom team, Just finished the install in my 2012 Buick Regal GS using your GM vline kit. Works Great, I will keep you guys posted if I find any bugs. But looks like you could advertise it for these cars. Almost bought the Navtools kit instead, since your website does not mark the Regal as compatible.
Thanks,
Jose Sanchez
Thank you for letting us know!
Anything happen yet bro I’m trying to do it nown
@@markbones1921 Hi Mark, I have not had any problems with the wireless android auto working in my car also wireless apple carplay works. Only thing I have notice is that the reception sometimes degrades or drops out when I am driving next to a semi truck with a trailer if I stay at a its side. But please note that I installed the vline box in the passenger kick panel so that might have something to do. I plan on relocating it closer to the glove box to see if it fixes the issue. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,
Jose S.
Jose Sanchez thanks bro
Very clean. Excellent upgrade, plus keeps the OEM look
Thank you!
So plug and play for the most part
You described everything very professional nice job man and thank you
You guys need to make something for the Chevrolet SS Sedan. 2014-2017.
Nobody makes anything nor our 22k and something cars that's only in the USA.
In Australia where this car is made there are alot of companies. They say UT all works with the US versions but they do not fully work.
So we need something please.
Already have a bad ass screen just need the right OS.
Thank you, we will look into it!
@@gromaudio please do we do not have any options
Facts facts facts facts!
With the new upgrade vline says it uses factory mic how to hook up on 2009 cts-v, thanks
You will plug the 3.5 mm audio jack that is now available on the power interface cable MCFGMLC to the mic port on the VLine.
Hi, Just ordered this kit, Do you have a video that shows where you mounted the unit and how to run the microphone?
Hi, check our other videos in the channel for the examples:
1. Glove box: czcams.com/video/aFxZGE2QCj0/video.html
2. Microphone: czcams.com/video/CafflZKsV6E/video.html
Would you guys happens to have a Kit for the First Gen CTS 04-07 ? I Really like the layout and functionality of your system 👍🏾
Thank you for your interest in VLine VL2 system! Unfortunately we do not have any system available for First Gen CTS 04-07. We recommend you to sign up for our notifications at bit.ly/vline_interest to receive an update once the solution becomes available for your vehicle.
Does mounting in the glove box require any drilling to route the wires, screwing the box into place, etc?
It depends on your particular vehicle. On some vehicles there is already the space that allows you to get the cables to the glove box, on the others the drilling a hole is needed.
@@gromaudio Thank you! How about for the CTS in this video?
@@kevinvanwynsberg373 for CTS in this video we made the small hole to get to the glovebox.
@@gromaudio Thank you! Appreciate the quick replies too.
What was that unit laying on the floor.???
Hi I’m assuming this should work on a 2010, but what happens after everything is put back into place? Where do the wires and the box go?
Hi, usually the wires are routed to the glove box, and the unit is being positioned there.
@@gromaudio Hi thanks for the reply, is it possible to leave wires and unit in back of the radio set before screwing back? Thanks
@@damianoverrillo1599 technically you can, however we recommend installing the unit in the accessible location, so you can access to the units ports and connectors. This way you can update it if needed. Some installers install the units below the glove box, or on the side of the center pillar, so it is not visible from the outside.
What aftermarket backup camera would you recommend to be connected to your vline. I'm installing on a 2009 cadillac cts v, thanks
The one that we offer here: gromaudio.com/store/vline_accessories/camera-v-bcc1.html
Thank you so much for doing this video. Is it normal for the unit to generate so much heat. I worry because it’s installed in the glove box per instructions where there is no air flow.
Please contact our technical team at gromaudio.com/support.html They will check your install.
I have not installed this yet or have experience with it, but I have installed aftermarket headunits and stuff before and they do get pretty hot because they usually have a shitty heatsink so I don’t believe that is abnormal but if it gets really hot it could overheat and not work until it cools down
@@exi9164 Thank you, haven’t had to many issues. It gets a little glitchy when it’s update time or just needs a reboot. Other than that I love it.
My CTS doesn’t have the Nav Screen, what extra stuff would I need to do to make this kit work?
Unfortunately you will need to replace the stereo. VLine VL2 system requires the MyLink 7-inch stereo.
My CTS doesn't have the Nav screen or head unit. Could you get those pieces and use this kit to basically get this whole setup?
Yes if you will replace the stereo to the compatible model, and add VLine to it, it will work.
Will this install into a 2011 Cadillac CTS Base? My car just has a basic radio and I want the clean OEM look with upgraded touch screen radio with Apple CarPlay.
It needs MyLink 7-inch screen to be compatible with VLine VL2 system, please check here: gromaudio.com/store/vline/grom-vl2-gm1c.html
As part of the vbox installation omitted, where did you wire the mic and gps on the cadillac cts?
The mic usually goes near the sun visor, and the GPS antenna is usually mounted in the center below the plastic panel if the space allows, or on the top of the dashboard, in the right corner, as long as it is not obstructed by the metal.
Sorry still don't understand where GPS is mounted, I also have a cadillac cts v like the video, where did it go, and is there a video to look at that installation, thsnks!
@@GregFrancis-fp8xj you can check our explainer video here: czcams.com/video/nLzW9-hFobQ/video.html
Here is another one, hidden in the center console at the top: czcams.com/video/LIxU9GSSp70/video.html
Do any of those blue cables matter? That go on the screen mine won’t go up
The blue cables matter! Please follow to our install guide when installing GROM product.
The video cable GVMF should connect at the back of the display, and not the stereo. Please double-check on that!
I just installed everything last night and can’t get the AUX to light up on my factory screen to get to it. When I installed everything I used every connection into the back of the factory radio was I supposed to leave anything unplugged? Any help would be appreciated because I can’t get through to anyone on your site to try to sort this out.

Do you have a video how the system works with using the radio tuner and the Android auto together?
We do not have such specific video. However you can always exit out of the VLine mode/ Android Auto mode and use FM radio or any other OEM function of the stereo. Backup camera will also keep working.
Please note that you can't be in FM radio and Android Auto mode of your stereo at the same time, as the stereo can't technically be in two modes at the same time.
does the gen 2 cts grom retain the up/down function of the nav screen or is it static? cant seem to find that
It retains the up/down function.
Hi there one question does it has remote wire and Amp out put tu use after market systems?
This works with the factory stereos and uses factory amps.
Just inquiry as know GM parts work with Saab 9-5 ng 2010 to 2012. 8 inch screen wondering if can confirm if this option available. Litteraly 100s if not 1000s on Saab 9-5 ng owner groups would be very interested to know.
Hopefully a yes and I share to forum's.
Would greatly appreciate response either way 👍
Thanks
Does the stereo look the same? Please send us the photos of your stereo playing in FM mode to support at gromaudio.com We will double check. Thank you!
How can i use Apple CarPlay ? Will it works wireless or do i need to install anything else ? My car is 2009 CTS
Yes you will be able to use wireless CarPlay. Here is how to connect to wireless CarPlay using VLine VL2 system: czcams.com/video/gZgWXJYgf8w/video.html
Just ordered this today for my 12’ CTS Coupe. Got a couple of questions. Do I have to use the gps antenna if I’m using my iPhone’s hotspot and gps apps through my phone? And do I have to install the mic? my car has a factory mic. Thanks
Thank you for ordering GROM VLine system!
1. We recommend using VLine GPS as it will enhance the iPhone's GPS signal and help to preserve the iPhone's battery.
2. Yes you will need to use the microphone that comes with VLine system.
@@gromaudio What is the general purpose for the microphone within the system?
@@r64me4 to use voice commons with Siri, Google Assistant, and on VLine, and to make phone calls with CarPlay.
I thought calls using the factory microphone as it was stated in the product description (calls via factory bluetooth)
can you elaborate on the Vline box install. I think you skipped over the wiring and mounting at 12:10
You need to lead the wires inside the glove box, and secure the VLine main module in the glove box. There is usually a hole available where you can run the wires through. Or you will need to drill the hole.
Do you guys make anything for Toyota landcruiser 1999
We are making audio integration kits for Toyota Land Cruiser 1999. Please check here: gromaudio.com/store/all-toyo.html
Does this still work with the OEM gm backup camera on a 2010 srx?
yes it works with OEM GM backup camera, OEM camera will keep working.
Do the factory steering wheel controls work with this unit?
yes they work
Does it only work for the V? I have a 08 CTS and wanted to add this
It works with 2008 CTS, if the vehicle has MyLink 7-inch screen. Please check here:
gromaudio.com/store/vline/grom-vl2-gm1c.html
Where did you end up mounting the Grom control box?
In this particular install we used glove box.
I need car play for my 2008 CTS with no pop out screen available any suggestions?
Currently the system is available for MyLink 7-inch screen only: gromaudio.com/store/vline/grom-vl2-gm1c.html
Sign up for our newsletter to receive the update once the system becomes available for your vehicle: bit.ly/vline_interest
Thank you!
Do I have to disable airbags first?
No you do not have to.
How does the VLine unit get secured in the glove box?
Usually with velcro or zip ties, to avoid extra movement.
Will this work on a 2010 srx without navigation?
It should have MyLink 7-in screen stereo to be compatible with GROM VLine VL2 system.
Is there a kit for one that doesn’t have the factory gps?
For Cadillac CTS 2008-2015 the most important is to have the MyLink 7-inch screen. If the stereo has MyLink 7-inch screen, it is compatible.
Check here: gromaudio.com/store/vline/grom-vl2-gm1c.html
So is there no splicing?
You do not need to splice anything, all connectors are plug-and-play for Cadillac CTS.
You didn’t show where you routed the wires and mounted the grom line device.
We route the device and mount it inside the glove box, check our other videos for the mounting examples.
Is it compatible with 2013 CTSV?
It is compatible as long as the stereo has 7-inch MyLink screen. Check here: gromaudio.com/store/vline/grom-vl2-gm1c.html
I just installed it yesterday and I noticed annoying flickering in factory screen during logo loading up, and while navigating through the original factory screen and while viewing the rear backup camera. But no flicker when using the vline v2 screen or when using the factory gps! All wires and harnesses where connected perfectly and we make sure that all wires ran smoothly with hard bent. Your help is needed.
Can this unit mirror my iPhone on the screen?
Yes it can do it.
@@gromaudio can you link a how to video? Thanks
@@r64me4 check here: czcams.com/video/as5eGUS9YsQ/video.html
Are you able to watch CZcams videos on it?
Yes you can.
Where are you located? Can you install this for me?
We are in Plano, TX. We can do the install. Contact us to schedule via web form at gromaudio.com/support.html
Kinda weird that you cut out the footage of mounting your actual product?
It is hard to film inside the glove box. What is the question that you have regarding to mounting if the unit?
@@gromaudio we need a photo to show how it looks like.
@@ur_shad0w You can check how we did it in Acura MDX and get an idea: czcams.com/video/urW_4LIWVWk/video.html
