Grom USB3
Hi all...
I keep toying with the idea of getting the Grom USB3 to add to a HU-850 And was wondering what you thought of them? And as I have an android phone I understand you have to use the Dashlinq app, any good? Thanks |

Hi they work very well,
You do not need to run Dashlinq app, one connected to the phone anything with sound can stream to the sound system, Dave |

In my view it's certainly best to get the Grom with the USB input. this means you can use a USB data stick with a huge amount of music on and not bother with linking to a phone, but you can also buy the phone interface too. If you buy the non-USB Grom you lose the USB stick option. I think the USB Grom is only a little more expensive but the Bluetooth add-on will up the price. I just use a USB stick and make them up on my Mac.

Definitely worth getting the Bluetooth version, calls and music streaming work well.

I've had a USBP2 for ages. It worked ok until I replaced my samsung s8 with an s9 and now I get no audio through the 10 CD changer emulated interface. You'd be best off with the BT probably.

too expensive. More worthwhile to get a full touchscreen head unit

I agree that the GROM is a bit pricey but the original head units are quality audio products.
I personally don't see how a touch-screen all-in-one no name units could afford the interface, quality DA converters and preamps + profit margin within the price of the GROM unit? Could you give us an example of a head unit you would see competing with original + GROM?
