Hello,
Thank you for using the GROM VLine VL2 system. We released the Android 12 upgrade in May 2024 to move forward with the development of new features that are not possible in Android 8.1. Starting this year, Android 8.1 will no longer receive updates, including critical security patches from Google.
We encourage you to upgrade your VLine VL2 to Android 12. Here are the benefits of upgrading:
1. SD card augmenting the flash storage for more space. Store more offline media or maps directly on the VLine VL2 unit.
2. HDMI out with separate content. Project HDMI multimedia to the headrest displays *.
3. More apps compatible. No longer "missing" apps from the Play Store.
4. Latest security and Runtime fixes from Google. Fewer crashes and hanging for apps.
5. Hands-free calls for Android Auto users. Use VL2 for all phone calls on Android phones with Android Auto*.
* feature will be available in February 2025

Tap on the "Support" app icon on the VLine user interface. Your unit's S/N number is at the top of the page.
After installing the Android 12 Upgrade, do I need to reinstall my apps on the VLine VL2 system and reconnect my wireless CarPlay / Android Auto?
Yes, you will, as the Android 12 Upgrade will wipe out your VLine VL2 system to a fresh start. If you use VLine VL2 stand-alone, you must reinstall the GApps and access the Play Store. How to install GApps >>
If you use wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, pair and connect them from scratch.
