- This video explains how you can install GPS antenna that is supplied with VLine VL2 CarPlay and Android Auto Navigation and Infotainment system, on top of the car dashboard.
It is very important that there are no metal parts that will be above the antenna, for good reception.
If you are using CarPlay or Android Auto, we still recommend installing GPS antenna, as it will help to preserve the battery life of your iPhone or Android Smartphone.

Great vid!
Dude who installed my head unit mounted it to the top of the head unit and under the dash kit, (on the metal) and I’m wondering if it’s partly the cause of intermittent interference, would be best to move it out of there right?
You can try to move it around, there should be no metal parts that can reduce the signal.
@@gromaudio thanks for responding, after looking into it I’ve seen several people say to mount it on metal, wondering now if I can get a magnetic metal Scosche car mount plate and just put it on there. 🤷
Would I still need to install the GPS from GROM if my car came with GPS/NAV already? Thanks.
Yes you will need to install GPS from GROM.
Dear, there is any powerful gps works inside glove box?
The system comes with GPS antenna.
GPS antennas require line of sight from satellites to receive the satellite info that is transmitted by several satellites. Two are required for your receiver to interpret the data and calculate your location. This must be a cellular radio on top of a GNS antenna. Which utilizes cell towers as well as any satellites it may see now and then.
There's a reason why you see the GNS only units installed on the roof of vehicles equipped with GPS Nav, XM radio. OnStar etc. With no cellular option. They need to see the satellite.
So you took all that time to run the wire just for it to flop around on the dash board?
The receiver itself should sit on top the dashboard. You can use the sticky pad that we provided to secure it. When placed in the corner of the dashboard, the receiver blends in with the car interior.
@@gromaudio ok, so you do secure them.
What about putting it on the bottom of a dash speaker cover?
@@rrsttt7505 you can do that, as long as there are no metal parts above the receiver that obstruct the signal.
absolutely no reason to do this. works fine in the glove box!!!
Most important is to make sure that you get good GPS signal. For that the antenna should not have any metal parts around it that can obstruct the signal. Glad to hear it is working for you from the glove box!
