Connect supplied video cable GVMF to factory display
Locate BLUE display port on rear of the car stereo display.
If the port is empty, plug in supplied video cable (GVMF) into port and leave
female portion of cable with nothing attached.
If there is cable plugged in, disconnect that cable (typically blue in color). then
plug in supplied Y cable and reconnect disconnected cable into female plug of
the supplied GVMF cable.
Make sure to connect the GVMF video cable to the back of the factory display,
and not to the back of the stereo. If you will connect the GVMF cable to the
back of the stereo, the VLine will not show up on the screen!
Warning:Do not pinch or hard bend the GVMF video cable, as it will affect the
video signal. Make sure there are no hard bends near the GVMF cable connect-
or to the VLine, and allow enough space around it.
Connect VLine Interface cable to the factory headunit
Locate 59-pin and 16-pin connectors at the back of the stereo, as shown on the
illustration below. Unplug what is connected and plug in supplied power inter-
face cable (MCFLEX7T) into both 59-pin and 16-pin on the back of the stereo.

Using factory microphone
VLine will use factory microphone for its operation. Connect 3.5mm
male connector from Power Interface Cable (MFCLEX7T)to the
microphone port of VLine (see p. 9 for reference).
There are no any additional steps needed to connect or operate VLine
with the vehicle factory microphone. Simply follow to the guidelines in the
User Manual.

Routing the GPS antenna
The GPS Antenna module is magnetic as well as supplied with double sided
tape.
It can be mounted to the top of dashboard or to outside of vehicle whichever
you prefer. Route to desired location. We recommend mounting it inside of
the vehicle on the passenger side of the dashboard,as shown below.
Plug GPS antenna into Camera AV port of VLine unit.
If you need to use VAUX RCA cable, carefully disconnect GPS antenna
from small molex extension, and plug VAUX cable instead, per the
instructions. Do not break GPS antenna when unplugging it from
molex extension.
Adjusting the microphone gain for CarPlay® or AAuto®
1. Go to VLine home screen, tap on three horisontal lines in the upper left
corner of the screen. You will get into Settings Menu.
2. While in Settings, scroll down to the bottom of the screen.
3. Hit AUTO on screen to automatically adjust the microphone gain.
4. Follow to the instructions on the screen and adjust microphone gain.
We usually recommend setting the microphone gain to 45.

Mounting the VLine Module
Mount the VLine main module in an easily accessible location, such as the
glove compartment, for easy access to the USB ports and to upgrade firmware
on the VLine module. Do not leave the unit inside the dashboard, as it can
damage the unit and its Bluetooth antenna and affect the Bluetooth / Wifi
reception.
TestingVLine Operation
Test VLine operation before mounting the dashboard back.
WARNING:Make sure to reconnect all unplugged connectors back to the
vehicle before cycling the ignition.Cycle the ignition and press MEDIA button
to enter AUX mode to enter VLine mode.
If VLine appears on the screen, and all factory functions such as climate
controls, reverse camera, AF/FM stereo, are working, you can mount the
dash board back.
Installation Troubleshooting
1. There is no VLine on the display, or the display is black.
Check the GVMF cable to enure you connected it at the back of the LCD
display, and not at the back of the stereo. Make sure you reconnected the
originally connected display cable back to the VLine GVMF female end.
2. The display is “flashing” or “flickering”.
Make sure there are no hard bends in the GVMF video cable, and it is installed
away from the metal parts in the vehicle. Try to re-route the GVMF cable.
