Based on a comment above about a professional install, today I took my glovebox out, removed the GPS unit (silver box) and placed the Grom GPS puck on top of the duct work. In my testing it worked perfectly. 3m taped it, ZIP tied it, and reinstalled everything. So far, working like a charm with no outside signs that a system has been installed.
Worth a try if you don’t like the puck, or if like me you have had a couple broken windshields lately and were apprehensive about taping it down. :-)

Nice! I kinda overdid it when I installed mine. I extended the gps cable all the way to the back of the car, pulled the cable thru the trunk and mounted it on the back window....

Not under metal. There is a bit above it from the speaker bracket. It is above the venting system.
It acquires pretty fast. I drove 3.5 hours through heavily wooded areas yesterday and never lost signal.

Finally a software update! I haven't seen an update for last several weeks. Grom did say they will fix DPI setting for Android Auto so font is not so huge, hope this is it. I'll update when I get a chance and report back.
edit: updated to latest 2.3.0.0. I don't see anything different. AA still have huge interface, they didn't change the DPI yet.

Yeah, mine stopped working since 2.2.0.0 also. I thought I’d be fixed on 2.3.0.0 but it didn’t. I haven’t checked to see 2.5.0.0 yet. At least the issue is consistent with our model

I will try 2.5.0.0 later on and let you know. I am using a mix of Android and CarPlay to test. CarPlay is easier to use while driving, Android much more flexible.
