The systems work for the abovementioned vehicles and stereos with and without a touchscreen. Watch the install and demo videos on Acura TSX 2006. The systems fully integrate with the factory screen and the knob controls.

You can now convert the screen into a touchscreen with GROM VLine VL2 and VLite VT2 systems in select Audi, Infiniti, Mercedes Benz, and Volvo.



The touchscreen overlay kits are available for:

• select Audi 2009-2016 no nav, to use with both VLine VL2 and VLite VT2 AUDC

The touchscreen overlay kits add extra convenience for CarPlay and Android Auto operations with the abovementioned vehicles. The knob control functionality is still available after the installation of the touchscreen overlay kit.

The touchscreen overlay kits differ for VLine VL2 and VLite VT2 systems. Check what GROM system you have, and pay attention when ordering a touchscreen overlay kit.
