Access FM radio front-view backup camera in CarPlay w/ VLine Acura Honda HON3

[admin]

Here is the explainer video that shows how to use the factory FM radio and CarPlay or Android Auto at the same time on Acura and Honda stereos with dual screen and VLine VL2 / VLite VT2 system installed:

To activate VLine on the upper screen for CarPlay / Android Auto while the lower screen is in FM mode, press the NAV button three times. The upper screen will then show VLine mode. This way you will get the sound from FM and the maps from CarPlay / Android Auto.

Your factory backup camera will keep working as usual. It will activate automatically upon engaging the REVERSE. You can also activate the factory front-view camera by pressing the "Camera" button on the stereo.

The VLine VL2 / VLite VT2 system does not disable any important OEM stereo functions such as FM radio, cameras, Bluetooth, and so on; they keep working. The VLine VL2 / VLite VT2 systems that are compatible with select Honda and Acura 2013-2019 stereos (dual screen) are available here:

I have an Odyssey 2015 dual-screen but without Nav, so I don't have a NAV button, but really want to have this functionality. Is there any way you can add this functionality to something like the BACK button also?

For anyone else searching here, I contacted Grom support and they replied. On my 2015 Odyssey without navigation / without a NAV button, the MENU button works to show VLine/VLite on the top display. Thanks Grom support for the info!
