Y'all are late! The MK6 is out now! Overview/Review: ua-cam.com/video/mp3OE77U0AY/v-deo.html Buy it now: squarewheelsauto.com/products/new-aucar-mark6-tesla-style-screen-for-infiniti-q50-q60-mk6
This is most definitely my next interior upgrade. I can stop saving for the Phoenix, get this one. Cheaper and work better. That has me written all over it. Nice video man.
@@SquareWheelsAuto I'm doing some editing this weekend. Be on the look out for a new video from my channel. I'll try to feature my some parts of my secret amaerican muscle project
I've been keeping my eye on these for a long time waiting for one to come out that had all the bugs worked out. Thanks for the video and coupon code. Even though its more expensive than the Mark 3, your video (great production value by the way), not having to go into steering column, and potential for no glitches made me pull the trigger. Thanks again.
You made it really hard not pull the trigger on one. Just ordered mine with your discount code for my 17 Q60 RS. Hopefully install goes as smooth and no quirks...Thanks for the review and rec.
I installed the same stereo last week and it was very awesome, I also used your install video since the instructions that came with the box were garbage and made no sense at all. Thanks again for the video bro
I know I’m late lol, just started watching your beautiful videos about a month or so ago. I’m thinking about putting one in my 2014 q50, love everything about this AUCAR MArk 5 and you explained it so well to the T. Blessings brother
Youre like the customer service for aucar usa division lol, i read through all comments and pretty much got the answers i need, i’ll definitely wait for mark6 hopefully they figured out how to use factory gps antenna and screen responsiveness like iphone. Thanks for the quality content & i’ll be waiting for mark6 review.
Thank you for the quality content, as always! Do you happen to know if the unit is rooted, or easily rootable? The price on the unit is very compelling, I do wish you the best with the channel's growth, as you seriously put a lot of time and effort into your content.
Thx for the support!!! Unfortunately idk about rooting these things... The OS is pretty unrestricted as-is, what would u be looking to accomplish by rooting?
@@SquareWheelsAuto various USB devices software defined radio, maybe seeing if i can get the screen to show a video input source of a Raspberry Pi I'd install at the bottom of the center console. I was thinking of redirecting a little bit of the air ducts going to the rear seats to actively cool the Pi. Although, I probably don't need root for any of that. Thanks for the quick reply man, It's much appreciated.
I suuuuuuure wish I could get one these in my 2021 Signature Edition! Hopefully, the 2022’s and higher will have them! Infiniti, I hope you’re paying attention!
I’m buying my first Q 50 I just had my G37 S totaled by a text driver. I love your tips! This is amazingly beautiful 🤩 Did you highlight the lights you have on your floors? This feature is sick! Thank you 🙏🏻 in advance
Aaaye welcome to the Q fam Kelli, I had a G37s too! The footwell lighting is just a cheap kit off Amazon: amzn.to/3Bgynth I have them wired to turn on when the doors open. Check out my illuminated kickplate video, they're wired to the same circuit. Thx for the support, be sure to sub I've got more coming!!
An excellent overview of the AUCar Mark 5. Thanks for your great work on this and the installation Video. Do you know of any features this unit has, that the Pheonix Mark 3 doesn't have or vice-versa?
These are very similar units, capable of running the same software. The biggest differences would be the resolved glitches (airbag light, steering wheel controls, stuff like that), custom hard button, and the easier install (don't need to hack your steering column) on the AUCar
Good question - I just grabbed an iPhone and I'm launching a video this weekend with a full Carplay setup and demo on the MK5. But simple answer, yes there's full Apple Carplay support, wired and wirelessly and it works well.
Hey man! Great video, have you done any tests regarding security of the device? Like any network packet capture to see if it sends any sensitive data to an unknown server?
Love the tutorial just pre ordered the MK6! I was confused on the hotspot portion, does this mean the screen can’t run apps that require wifi such as spotify, waze etc.. without having the hotspot on? Is there any way around that just needs some clarification thanks and great showcase!
These are full Android devices and thus are most useful when you feed them internet. Without internet, it'll run the apps, but if they have functiinality that requires internet, that functionality won't work (Spotify and Google maps have offline mode, I do t think Waze does). If you don't want to go the hotspot route, the MK6 comes with a sim port so you can give it a dedicated 4g data plan 😈
Hey Rob, I finally got my unit in and installed, got Sergey firmware, but haven't installed it yet. So I have this wierd problem and wondered if it happened to you with this product? When installing the unit I went ahead and hooked up the rca so that way if I wanted upgrade the door speakers I wouldn't have to take the dash out again to hook it up. I did however installed a subwoofer and couldn't find a remote wire on the mark 5 so I decided to tap the remote wire the same way you did it on you subwoofer upgrade video, which worked. But the problem is when I turn my volume up or down the subwoofer stay a it's constant volume. Even when I turn the volume down to 0 the subwoofer is still hitting. Did you have the same problem?
Nah but I didn't use the subwoofer out from the MK5. I just tapped the Bose subwoofer signal like in my other video. If you use the MK5s subwoofer out, you might need to use the equalizer in settings to control the sub's output??
Hey Rob ! Sorry For the constant comments on videos …. Again I’m really loving the unit and the firmware update. What I think I ran into was the wrong car audio company because I’m finding little faults in their installation and they make it seem like it’s a very complicated and expensive fix. I was messaging Sergey to fix the CarPlay issues but he mentioned I should be good and asked me to update some things on the original Intouch menus but when I hit the button it won’t let me access the menus. Did they not Install a cord/wire correctly? I’ve looked over your videos and I’m not seeing how it won’t run like yours if they are audio pros…. If you need to I can send you a text if this will be more back and forth than expected.
How quickly does the screen boot up when starting the car? Can you show our talk about how to put in split screen? Can you change the color of the physical buttons? How good is the GPS signal? Thank you
It's fast boot, so if you've started the car in the last 24 hrs, its pretty quick... seconds. Longer than that, it does a full reboot and takes ~20 seconds to be usable. Apps that can be split screened have indicators in the bottom left corner that allow you to toggle split screen mode, and switch position (top/bottom) There's an app called colors that allows you to change the backlight on the physical buttons including the HVAC controls on the side. GPS signal is great, no issues. If u use the included puck, be sure to position it with a view of the sky. If ur Q has factory nav, you can use your factory gps antenna if u buy an adapter.
So I’m interested in getting one and I had a question about the features. Does all the features such as backup camera & Apple CarPlay come built into the screen ? Also does the screen come with UA-cam , Google and things like that ?
Yes it’s a fully functional android tablet, so whatever apps you download work natively. Same with all cars features like backup, 360 cameras, sonar, etc. Wired and wireless CarPlay and android auto. 🤙🏽
Do you know if you have to use the USB extensions out of the back of the unit for Android Auto, or should you be able to use the armrest receptacle after piggybacking that wire harness into the unit? Also, I have an idle message pop up periodically if I have a UA-cam video on, have you experienced this? When using my phone for wifi and running apps from the screen, Spotify will turn off when I open another app rather than play in the background. Any experience/advice appreciated
I’m having trouble getting hotspot to connect to internet required apps. I’m also having trouble getting wired CarPlay to work. Could you possibly make a set up tutorial on how to connect the device to hotspot out of the box and to both wired and wireless CarPlay. Only way I can connect to internet required apps is with home WiFi while I’m in my garage. Please help
Couple questions: if I have a luxe w/360 camera is that supported? Looks like the drop down only specified red sport w/360. Is the CarPlay organic to that unit, or did your car previously need CarPlay for this unit to piggy back on?
Lux w 360, you'll want the American LHD. All supported including 360 cameras and sonar. Carplay comes with the unit and works both wired and wirelessly. 👍🏾
Hey great videos man, gonna sub! Question: Audio, can’t see any comments on this. I’m assuming the MK5 acts only as an audio source and not amplification? My 350z BOSE audio was instantly ripped out but with the BOSE premium in my Q60 the audio is like pretty decent. So I’m conscious to avoid downgrading audio just for the screen. Cheers
Thx for the support Wasso!!! So consider the MK5 a source that you'd plug into your aux port, like a phone or mp3 player. That's exactly how it behaves, it piggybacks the AUX. If you have Bose, all the amplifying and sound processing will still be handled downstream. The MK5 has its own EQ but I leave flat and just let the Bose do it's thing. Hope that helps!!
I saw a video of the Manufacturer AuCar and they explained that the reason it is called the Mark 5 is because they skipped the Mark 4. In other words, they also manufacture Phoenix Automotive Mark III. Just created a different company for the new version.
Hey, great vid!!!!! I just got a 2018 Sport and can’t wait to get modding. I don’t plan on tackling the Tesla screen till the spring. Do you think a new version will be out by then?
Thanks, and congrats on the new Q!! I know for a fact there's a new version coming (I've recently gotten sneak peeks of the new interfaces), the question of the year is WHEN!! It was supposed to be released for customers by now, but COVID, supply chain, etc etc issues have things delayed and up in the air. Stay tuned, when the prototype is ready for testing, I'll be covering it here. Enjoy that Q!!
Thank you so much for replying I really appreciate it. I’m curious what you think about creating a diy 360 cam setup. I would love it if the any new Tesla screen had a way to tie in multiple dash cams into a 360 view. I noticed you have a dash cam, how do you like it?
@@cliffordraymond9123 dude good idea! Now u got me thinking lol 🤔🤔🤔🤔 Re: dashcam - I've got this one amzn.to/3fC5hed I love it because it runs 24/7 and detects movement and shock, and doesn't drain my car battery. Video quality during the daytime is good, I actually use it in some of my videos. Quality in low light is "just ok"
How do you install the gps and microphone on this. In your installation vid you skipped those parts. Im interested in buying this but before pulling the plug i need to know this. Also need to know about heated seats
The gps I routed around the glovebox to the passenger side of the dash. The puck needs a view of the sky. Alternatively, if you have factory gps, there's an adapter u can use that will leverage the OEM GPS antenna. Microphone I routed to the side of the unit, right above the leather trim piece. Some customers have reported NOT needing the microphone attachment too. I believe if you don't connect their mic, the system will use your OE mic. Heated seats work without a hitch. Tested em myself.
Hello! I seen where some Mark 5 will display an “airbag warning” have you had that issue and also can I play music from iPhone through bluetooth? Thanks in advance.
Haven't heard it described as an issue 😅 I'm pretty sure there's an airbag light on the OEM screens too, I just can't remember. The light shows up to indicate the passenger airbag is disabled. When there's a butt in the passenger seat, it turns off 👍🏾 Yes Bluetooth audio from iPhone is supported
I am seriously considering buying one of these for my Q50, looks awesome and relatively easy to install. One question, my cell phone plan doesn't support hot spot so can I hard wire my phone to the screen for Waze and Spotify use while driving? Thanks!
I'm new to aftermarket installation in Infiniti's, but from what it seems like the G37 infotainment is very similar to the q60 Do you think this would work in a g37?
Coming soon. They'll be the same internals as the MK6, refactored to fit perfectly in the G37 dash. Sign up here (select the G37 option) and I'll notify you when they're available!! squarewheelsauto.com/pages/coming-soon
Would I be able to watch HBO Max and UA-cam on these? I understand that its a full tablet with android as an OS. So I know the apps can be downloaded, but how do you get sound from the unit to play through the car speakers?
Yes HBO max and UA-cam work like any other app. I use UA-cam, Netflix, and UA-camTV pretty often. All the sound goes through the aux channel of your car. Part of the installation is a T-harness that hijacks the signal.
More responsive than factory screen: YES, infinitely - especially in CarPlay mode Using as only CarPlay: debatably worth it. Its definitely worth it when used as a full android tablet. Maybe worth it if you factor in (and like) the change it has on the interior.
The only question I have is can you still turn the display off by pressing the brightness button by the mode selector, sometimes I like to ride with everything dark ya know.
So at the top of the screen, there's a little moon icon. Touching it blacks out the screen so u can drive in stealth mode. It comes back in next time u touch the screen or a button.
Thanks for the informative video! Would you be able to acquire a iPhone and use it with the unit in a video? I want to purchase one, but I’d like to see how it works with the iPhone platform since that is what I use. Thank you and great video!!
@@Qfifty it's usually less than 10 days but Shenzhen just went on COVID lockdown today (www.nytimes.com/live/2022/03/13/world/covid-19-mandates-cases-vaccine#china-shanghai-shenzhen). Waiting to hear how it will impact processing and shipping.
Hey nice videos man i love your car! I have a 2019 Q50 2.2d and i live in Germany. Can i just buy the screen on your website and replace it easily? Does it work with android phones aswell without problems?
Yep. Check my channel for the installation video. Most people get it done in less than an hour 👍🏾👍🏾 Works well with Android, I use it daily with my Samsung S21 as a hotspot.
Google navigation allows you to download maps of your local area so you can navigate without an internet connection. You'll miss out on all the live notifications/traffic rerouting/etc but it'd work.
And now that u mention it, there IS an app that came with the unit that was purely offline navigation. I can't remember the name of it, I uninstalled it 🙄
@@SquareWheelsAuto that was deal breaker/maker. Now I’m scared that if the tablet is broken, there’s no climate controls. Even if there is a warranty (idk if there is), I would have no AC till a new one comes in or go through the process of installing the old one
@@jarrelshotya2573 I see internet and HVAC as 2 completely independent topics. You can operate HVAC (and any other car functionality) anytime, whether or not you've got internet access. Additionally, there are hard buttons down the left and right side of the screen so that, in the unlikely event the screen stopped working, you could still fully operate your dual zone HVAC, front/rear defroster, etc etc. Not providing internet would only hinder functionality on those apps that required internet to work. Hope this helps!
Awesome video. I'm considering getting this unit for my Q50S. I also like your foot well lighting. How is it wired? Are all the wires completely hidden?
Thanks! They're actually cheapo LEDs off Amazon (amzn.to/3dIv0BV). I insist on stealthy wiring whenever possible. I wired it to the dome lights, so they turn on when the doors open, or I hit the dome light button. Used this same circuit: ua-cam.com/video/8R3xZDizw3I/v-deo.html
@@SquareWheelsAuto Thanks for the reply. I'll check out your video and the led kit. I was going to buy the oem one that Infiniti offers but I like yours better.
Cool, just be warned: the major benefit of those is their price. 2 complaints I've got with them: 1) They are RGB so the white isn't 'pure' - looks more like orange to me 2) it sometimes forgets the setting it was last on, resulting in a surprise RGB rave in your footwells. I'm actively looking for a better solution and I'll be sure to post what I come up with so stay tuned!
@@SquareWheelsAuto Ok, no worries. I appreciate your fast reply! This video alone has convinced me to pull the trigger on the Q60 due to the outdated screen being it's one big negative in my eyes.
Dumb question probably. But I’m an Apple girl, with a 2017 Q50. I got one that didn’t have the heated seats or navigation. Would this still work for me if I have an iPhone? And who would put this in for me. I’m ignorant to the process. Your answer will definitely help me
Not dumb, probably the most common question I get. Gonna post a video soon to address it. But yes it definitely works with an iPhone. U can either feed it internet by setting your iphone as a hotspot, or use Carplay wired or wirelessly. Installation is pretty easy, u can do it in less than an hour with just a screwdriver. I broke the install down here: ua-cam.com/video/Imqw7oa3izE/v-deo.html If ur not comfortable doing it yourself, I bet any custom audio shop will do it for you. Thx for watching! Lmk if u have any other questions 👍🏾
Love your vids, Just installed my MK5 & looks great. Question? I saw how you split the screen between video player and other apps. Is there a way to split screen for apps other than Videos?. I'd like to drive with maps on top half and my preferred Music player on bottom, but I haven't been able to find that setting. Thanks !
Have you run into any problems since uploading the video? Was thinking about getting it, but im a little perturbed that the problems I've been seeing with the mk3 might happen with this.
I only uploaded 3 days ago but it has been consistently stable for the ~1.5 weeks I've owned it - that's all I can go by! I've seen many reports of those MK3 issues too, and generally the issues dont "pop up" over time, they're messed up right outta the box
Question so do I have to send a picture of the dashboard and so with car play with my iPhone I can see apps like I music Waze etc and still have access to the extra features like Netflix hulu all in one ?
I don't think they need to see your dash as long as you pick the right year/trim when you order. Yeah all the Carplay stuff works. Check out ua-cam.com/video/q_krcJmG4Fo/v-deo.html
Sir, I messed up my q50 screen by deleting some of the apps or software! So I’m thinking to buy this unit instead of fix the one comes with my q since this one is a lot better! So do u think this one would work right away? Even if my oem screen is not working great right now. Please answer my question!
It really depends on how bad you messed up the Q50 screen. This unit is an android tablet and thus has tons of functionality that will probably/definitely work well independently - but any functions that require communication with the vehicle (example, climate control, intouch menus, etc etc) are at risk - if they're screwed up, there's nothing the screen can do to help. If it was me, I'd get one and give it a shot! I've heard having the dealer replace screens (or even just reloading apps) is super expensive.
What about the steering wheel controls do they work aside from just volume. I saw that you didn't have to run connectors but I wanted to check on this unit and haven't had the chance to compare
So voice control maps to their weird nexar voice app. I've uninstalled it and not sure how to remap to something else. The phone button doesn't do anything (I can't recall what it did before I installed this). Everything else (next/prev track, etc) work normally
@@SquareWheelsAuto definitely a huge improvement there. I keep my phone bt going to the car and can use the SWC to still answer calls. Do you know if that would work? Otherwise, it just launched the voice controller. You might be able to map it now to OK Google vs nexar?
@@ESigma 🤔🤔🤔🤔 u know i might try that - I'm not thrilled with the UX of the phone interface on this unit so that would be a good solve. Will give it a shot this afternoon and let u know. Thx!!!
@@SquareWheelsAuto do the next/prev wheel buttons work for you for BT audio and/or Car Auto (CarPlay)? I can’t seem to get them to work for me for that.
Can you play video while driving on this unit. I like the tesla screen style, but is on the fence, since it require a Hotspot to run the unit. I was also looking at the smartauto kit and saw your video showing how I can play video while driving which is what I want. Seeing that you have experience with both unit, which one do you think is better?
Yeah it can do video while driving also (downloaded videos like the smartautokits, as well as Netflix, UA-cam, Hulu, whatever) I like the Tesla screen better for 2 reasons: 1) it looks awesome in comparison 2) no wires, nothing to plug in when I drive. It just works. It also does a lot more than the Smartautokits unit. It's essentially an Android tablet so it can run any app. Hope this helps!!!
Oh is there a different on which option I choose, because I have a 2016 q50 with 360 camera and on the option it only have the 360 camera on the 2018 red sport, or do you think the American lhd option will work with my car. I emailed them a couple days ago but didn't get a response yet
Yes of course. You can connect your iPhone for bluetooth streaming and calls, or you can use wired/wireless carplay and convert the screen to an extension of your phone.
How is the screen brightness during the day time? I had one for my G35 from Phoenix Automotive and the screen brightness was super dim even on the highest setting and completely unusable during the day time.
Hey Rob, hope all is well. Having an issue with my system. Goes into a boot loop about 5 times before fully functional. I can also bypass the long wait by holding down the home button. Tried Phoenix Audio where I bought it with your discount code but they refused to help me. Talk about poor customer service. Any ideas on how I can fix it? I don't see a reset pin hole to soft boot and clear the cache. Thanks!
This is probably a very stupid question but would this be worth purchasing if you own an Iphone? I assume a lot of the functionality and benefits of the unit would not work with an Iphone? The next question would be are their any units that work hand in hand with Iphone?
Not stupid at all. These are android devices, but they fully support and integrate with iphones. There's full Carplay support, both wired and wireless.
@@SquareWheelsAuto Thanks for the quick reply! Definitely considering getting this looks so nice in your car man! You're correct in that this is how it should've came. I am curious do you happen to have an idea of how often they pump out revisions? I was considering waiting till the holidays and getting it as a gift to myself also figuring by that time perhaps new ones would be available.
@@Dreamevil2009 Funny you should ask - word has it there's a new iteration coming out at the end of the year/early next year that will have upgraded processors (needed in my opinion) and support open bluetooth. If it lives up to the hype I'm gonna be first in line for one!
@@SquareWheelsAuto oh wow in that case I think I will stick to that self Christmas gift plan! haha...I also kick myself when I buy something at the end of its technological life and the new version comes out so I always try not to buy things mid year.
@@Dreamevil2009 I hear ya - things move so fast these days that the latest and greatest only stays in the #1 spot for a brief moment before something new pops up. What a time to be alive lol
I don't have an iphone but several users in the InfinitiAV group on facebook have posted videos of carplay working perfectly, both wired and wirelessly.
Love the video! I've been contemplating on getting this type of screen on my Q. I do have 1 question though, does it work only with the OEM back up camera or can it work with an aftermarket one as well? My biggest peeve on my Q is the quality of the camera (I have a 2014 model, only have the rear camera and no 360 view) and would love to see if getting the Mark V and maybe getting a better quality camera would improve it. (Any recommendation as far as what back up camera to pair this with?)
Good question, I hear you on the camera quality lol. This screen is high definition, so it'll actually make your stock camera look worse, because it's stretching the low resolution image out wider. Esigma is running a group buy for an HD camera, you can join it here: squarewheelsauto.com/pages/hd-camera-group-buy
Did you have to uninstall the piggypacked motherboard from the screen (Have a Joyeauto and had to take the screen apart. How is the call quality? Had call issues using the carplay kit and was running it through BT q50 audio. How has this one compared??
No piggyback/motherboard like the joyeauto (check out my installation video). Haven't had any complaints about by calls - my wife would def let me know 😅
It's got fastboot, so if you've run it less than 24 hours ago then it's available pretty much instantly when you start up (seconds). If its been over 24 hrs it does a full reboot and that takes more like 30 seconds
hey, couple questions for you. Are you able to use wired carplay with the factory usb’s in the center console? If so what app in the unit would you need to use in order to enable it?. Second question, what app within the unit would allow you to use wired carplay?
1) I've heard mixed results from those who have tried using the factory USB plugs. The unit definitely includes its own USB ports and I know for a fact CarPlay works with those. 2) The unit comes with Zlink preinstalled. That's the app for wired or wireless Carplay. I showcase it here: ua-cam.com/video/q_krcJmG4Fo/v-deo.html
Be sure your connections are seated securely! If not, stuff won't work. If you're sure your connections are good, hit me on email/chat/IG and I'll hook u up with AUCar support 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Appreciate you homie, 2 questions? What is the purpose of the mark 5 speaker and how did you run your microphone speaker line or better yet where did you end up installing it? Thanks Godspeed
I honestly have no idea what the speaker is for. I didn't install it, and I haven't noticed any purpose for it. I ran the microphone out the driver side, just above the leather trim on the center console. I've seen some other people run it up the a pillar so it's closer to the drivers mouth, but that makes the voice assistant/bluetooth mic less accessible for my passengers.
@@atsila_one I ran the wire behind the glovebox on the passenger side, and tucked it on the dash in the far corner, stuck down with some 3M tape. Wish I coulda found a more discrete spot but it needs a view of the sky. If you have factory nav, there’s a harness u can buy to use your OE antennas - my Q didn’t come with factory nav tho.
Looks amazing and it’s a great idea on paper but the performance makes it feel cheap. Spinning loading circles and 15fps when scrolling through the menu is a deal breaker for me. It doesn’t perform as smoothly as I would like
Do u have a issue with your camera..cause i have a 360 camera and i never had a issue with my mark 1 3 years ago but now wen I install the mark 3 wen i put the car in reverse it display my front view instead of the rear
Carplay: ua-cam.com/video/q_krcJmG4Fo/v-deo.html Audio plays through the car's aux source, so audio quality is unaffected, it'll sound the same as any other source on the car 🤙🏽

Nice! In this video, I had Nova Launcher installed that lets me do custom screens and widgets. I've since installed the Sergey Firmware that has some decent themes. Check out my other video on it: ua-cam.com/video/O2idZGmHJdo/v-deo.html

@@SquareWheelsAuto yeah I seen the sergey firmware looks amazing I can’t wait and how did you customize your nova launcher I was so confused messing around with the settings and where do I go to put the lines back on my back up camera
Nothing official yet! There's rumors saying as early as mid November, others saying not til next year. I'll definitely do a video as soon as I hear something official so stay tuned!!! 👍🏾
There's confirmed support up to 2021 models. If nothing's changed on the 2022 infotainment/wiring, the same units should work. They'd need to see the back if your top screen to be sure.
Ok newbie question but has anyone experienced the issue with the back up sensors not work and my air bag light staying on in the unit? I followed the instillation video you posted but something isn’t right?!
Yeah the little airbag light stays on on mine too - I think that's normal. When you say the back up sensors don't work, what do you mean exactly? If you ordered through squarewheelsauto, don't hesitate to open up a support ticket on the site, or just shoot me an email at support@squarewheelsauto.com
i have the nifty city 13.6inch one on my infiniti fx35, everything works perfectly except when i turn the volume pretty high... it gets super distorted, wasn't sounding like this with the stock radio. Any ideas? I've changed the AMP to Factory and all that did was made the sound VERY VERY LOW. Any ideas?
Hey quick question just installed mine and whenever I press in touch it doesn’t show the oem controls is that a glitch I can resolve and how do you get the yellow lines to show up for the reverse camera , mine don’t show
If intouch isn't showing it is probably something not connected securely. Check all the connections in back and make sure they click in. Reverse guidelines is a setting in user settings.

Enjoy!!! Glad I pulled the trigger on this one, hope u enjoy it as much as I am!! Thx for the support too 🙏🏽🙏🏽
how are you liking the setup since purchasing? I’m real interested as well!
@Vince Bass How did it turn out for you? Any issues? Seriously considering this as the stock is less than appealing...
You made it really hard not pull the trigger on one. Just ordered mine with your discount code for my 17 Q60 RS. Hopefully install goes as smooth and no quirks...Thanks for the review and rec.
How it go??
Bump I’m interested as well almost a year later
How'd it go
I installed the same stereo last week and it was very awesome, I also used your install video since the instructions that came with the box were garbage and made no sense at all. Thanks again for the video bro
For sure glad it helped! Enjoy! 🙌🏾
I know I’m late lol, just started watching your beautiful videos about a month or so ago. I’m thinking about putting one in my 2014 q50, love everything about this AUCAR MArk 5 and you explained it so well to the T. Blessings brother

Youre like the customer service for aucar usa division lol, i read through all comments and pretty much got the answers i need, i’ll definitely wait for mark6 hopefully they figured out how to use factory gps antenna and screen responsiveness like iphone. Thanks for the quality content & i’ll be waiting for mark6 review.
Lol totally not intentionally but ur right they need to put me on payroll 🤣🤣
Thx for watching, stay tuned!!!
Thank you for addressing the elephant. Mark 3 is the legit one. But glad to hear this unit resolved the issues
Thank you for the quality content, as always! Do you happen to know if the unit is rooted, or easily rootable? The price on the unit is very compelling, I do wish you the best with the channel's growth, as you seriously put a lot of time and effort into your content.
Thx for the support!!! Unfortunately idk about rooting these things... The OS is pretty unrestricted as-is, what would u be looking to accomplish by rooting?
@@SquareWheelsAuto various USB devices software defined radio, maybe seeing if i can get the screen to show a video input source of a Raspberry Pi I'd install at the bottom of the center console. I was thinking of redirecting a little bit of the air ducts going to the rear seats to actively cool the Pi. Although, I probably don't need root for any of that. Thanks for the quick reply man, It's much appreciated.
I suuuuuuure wish I could get one these in my 2021 Signature Edition! Hopefully, the 2022’s and higher will have them! Infiniti, I hope you’re paying attention!
I hear u man, they’ve been slinging the same bs infotainment for damn near a decade, and it was already subpar when it came out!
Was hesitant to buy because of all the issues phoenix has but this is definitely a buy for me.
I’m buying my first Q 50 I just had my G37 S totaled by a text driver. I love your tips! This is amazingly beautiful 🤩
Did you highlight the lights you have on your floors? This feature is sick! Thank you 🙏🏻 in advance
Aaaye welcome to the Q fam Kelli, I had a G37s too!
The footwell lighting is just a cheap kit off Amazon: amzn.to/3Bgynth I have them wired to turn on when the doors open. Check out my illuminated kickplate video, they're wired to the same circuit.
Thx for the support, be sure to sub I've got more coming!!
Nice detailed video! You sir have a new subscriber today. 👍🏼
Appreciate the support! Stay tuned more fun stuff coming!
An excellent overview of the AUCar Mark 5. Thanks for your great work on this and the installation Video.
Do you know of any features this unit has, that the Pheonix Mark 3 doesn't have or vice-versa?
These are very similar units, capable of running the same software. The biggest differences would be the resolved glitches (airbag light, steering wheel controls, stuff like that), custom hard button, and the easier install (don't need to hack your steering column) on the AUCar
Thanks for the great video discount code I am ordering mine now.
Hey man I’m lookin at coping one of these myself when u say car play does it support Apple CarPlay or just android stuff?
Good question - I just grabbed an iPhone and I'm launching a video this weekend with a full Carplay setup and demo on the MK5. But simple answer, yes there's full Apple Carplay support, wired and wirelessly and it works well.
Hi! Does it work on a 2016 q50 s hybrid??? Will I have all the hybrid futures I have on the stock version?
Yep 👍🏾
Hey man! Great video, have you done any tests regarding security of the device? Like any network packet capture to see if it sends any sensitive data to an unknown server?
Nope! Happy to try if you point me in the right direction, would be interesting to see.
Love the tutorial just pre ordered the MK6! I was confused on the hotspot portion, does this mean the screen can’t run apps that require wifi such as spotify, waze etc.. without having the hotspot on? Is there any way around that just needs some clarification thanks and great showcase!
These are full Android devices and thus are most useful when you feed them internet. Without internet, it'll run the apps, but if they have functiinality that requires internet, that functionality won't work (Spotify and Google maps have offline mode, I do t think Waze does).
If you don't want to go the hotspot route, the MK6 comes with a sim port so you can give it a dedicated 4g data plan 😈
Hey Rob, I finally got my unit in and installed, got Sergey firmware, but haven't installed it yet. So I have this wierd problem and wondered if it happened to you with this product? When installing the unit I went ahead and hooked up the rca so that way if I wanted upgrade the door speakers I wouldn't have to take the dash out again to hook it up. I did however installed a subwoofer and couldn't find a remote wire on the mark 5 so I decided to tap the remote wire the same way you did it on you subwoofer upgrade video, which worked. But the problem is when I turn my volume up or down the subwoofer stay a it's constant volume. Even when I turn the volume down to 0 the subwoofer is still hitting. Did you have the same problem?
Nah but I didn't use the subwoofer out from the MK5. I just tapped the Bose subwoofer signal like in my other video. If you use the MK5s subwoofer out, you might need to use the equalizer in settings to control the sub's output??
@@SquareWheelsAuto I thought about that, but don't think it'll change the fact that the bass doesn't change with the volume of the radio.
Hey Rob ! Sorry For the constant comments on videos …. Again I’m really loving the unit and the firmware update. What I think I ran into was the wrong car audio company because I’m finding little faults in their installation and they make it seem like it’s a very complicated and expensive fix. I was messaging Sergey to fix the CarPlay issues but he mentioned I should be good and asked me to update some things on the original Intouch menus but when I hit the button it won’t let me access the menus. Did they not Install a cord/wire correctly? I’ve looked over your videos and I’m not seeing how it won’t run like yours if they are audio pros…. If you need to I can send you a text if this will be more back and forth than expected.
No prob man yeah hit me on support@squarewheelsauto.com
Hey I know I’m a little late was just wondering if this a better option for iPhone instead of the mark 6?
Nope. There IS no better option than the mark 6 👍🏾
Are the back up lines the same as the stock back up camera ? I noticed in video it only had the yellow line but not the red and orange ones
Pretty sure there's a setting to choose the OEM or aftermarket backup lines. Can't recall if it comes that way, or the Sergey firmware added it.
How quickly does the screen boot up when starting the car? Can you show our talk about how to put in split screen? Can you change the color of the physical buttons? How good is the GPS signal?
Thank you
It's fast boot, so if you've started the car in the last 24 hrs, its pretty quick... seconds. Longer than that, it does a full reboot and takes ~20 seconds to be usable.
Apps that can be split screened have indicators in the bottom left corner that allow you to toggle split screen mode, and switch position (top/bottom)
There's an app called colors that allows you to change the backlight on the physical buttons including the HVAC controls on the side.
GPS signal is great, no issues. If u use the included puck, be sure to position it with a view of the sky. If ur Q has factory nav, you can use your factory gps antenna if u buy an adapter.
@@SquareWheelsAuto much appreciate the quick and thorough reply. I ended up ordering one. Long story but I fried someone's board on the mark 3 haha
@@darnellhoward660 😳😳😳😂
So I’m interested in getting one and I had a question about the features. Does all the features such as backup camera & Apple CarPlay come built into the screen ? Also does the screen come with UA-cam , Google and things like that ?
Yes it’s a fully functional android tablet, so whatever apps you download work natively. Same with all cars features like backup, 360 cameras, sonar, etc. Wired and wireless CarPlay and android auto. 🤙🏽
@@SquareWheelsAuto ok that’s dope , appreciate it man 💪🏾
Would you recommend installing this before or after hooking up subwoofers and amp?
Doesn't matter, they're pretty independent of each other. I did sub and amp first
Do you know if you have to use the USB extensions out of the back of the unit for Android Auto, or should you be able to use the armrest receptacle after piggybacking that wire harness into the unit?
Also, I have an idle message pop up periodically if I have a UA-cam video on, have you experienced this? When using my phone for wifi and running apps from the screen, Spotify will turn off when I open another app rather than play in the background. Any experience/advice appreciated
I use the armrest for Android auto
Never got an idle message, but I have UA-cam and Spotify premium, not sure if that makes a difference?
I’m having trouble getting hotspot to connect to internet required apps. I’m also having trouble getting wired CarPlay to work. Could you possibly make a set up tutorial on how to connect the device to hotspot out of the box and to both wired and wireless CarPlay. Only way I can connect to internet required apps is with home WiFi while I’m in my garage. Please help
Couple questions: if I have a luxe w/360 camera is that supported? Looks like the drop down only specified red sport w/360. Is the CarPlay organic to that unit, or did your car previously need CarPlay for this unit to piggy back on?
Lux w 360, you'll want the American LHD. All supported including 360 cameras and sonar. Carplay comes with the unit and works both wired and wirelessly. 👍🏾
@@SquareWheelsAuto …liked and subscribed. I’ll add on IG a little later. Thanks man.
Thx for the support Jacob!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Might be a dumb question… but can you run Apple CarPlay? Just concerned because of the Android system?
✅ Wired and wireless Carplay support!
Hey great videos man, gonna sub! Question: Audio, can’t see any comments on this. I’m assuming the MK5 acts only as an audio source and not amplification? My 350z BOSE audio was instantly ripped out but with the BOSE premium in my Q60 the audio is like pretty decent. So I’m conscious to avoid downgrading audio just for the screen. Cheers
Thx for the support Wasso!!! So consider the MK5 a source that you'd plug into your aux port, like a phone or mp3 player. That's exactly how it behaves, it piggybacks the AUX. If you have Bose, all the amplifying and sound processing will still be handled downstream. The MK5 has its own EQ but I leave flat and just let the Bose do it's thing. Hope that helps!!
Ok I have my marks 5 screen I’m trying to see how are u getting the videos to play do u need a sd SIM card or what
I've got music videos downloaded to a USB thumb drive and I play them in the Video Player app
@@SquareWheelsAuto thanks you're the best my guy for the response👍
I saw a video of the Manufacturer AuCar and they explained that the reason it is called the Mark 5 is because they skipped the Mark 4. In other words, they also manufacture Phoenix Automotive Mark III. Just created a different company for the new version.
Pretty sure there's one main parent manufacturer, and AUCar and Phoenix are both unrelated, competing whitelabeling resellers
Hey, great vid!!!!! I just got a 2018 Sport and can’t wait to get modding. I don’t plan on tackling the Tesla screen till the spring. Do you think a new version will be out by then?
Thanks, and congrats on the new Q!! I know for a fact there's a new version coming (I've recently gotten sneak peeks of the new interfaces), the question of the year is WHEN!! It was supposed to be released for customers by now, but COVID, supply chain, etc etc issues have things delayed and up in the air. Stay tuned, when the prototype is ready for testing, I'll be covering it here.
Enjoy that Q!!
Thank you so much for replying I really appreciate it. I’m curious what you think about creating a diy 360 cam setup. I would love it if the any new Tesla screen had a way to tie in multiple dash cams into a 360 view. I noticed you have a dash cam, how do you like it?
@@cliffordraymond9123 dude good idea! Now u got me thinking lol 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Re: dashcam - I've got this one amzn.to/3fC5hed
I love it because it runs 24/7 and detects movement and shock, and doesn't drain my car battery. Video quality during the daytime is good, I actually use it in some of my videos. Quality in low light is "just ok"
@@SquareWheelsAutoNo problem!!! I love the vids, best of luck.
How do you install the gps and microphone on this. In your installation vid you skipped those parts. Im interested in buying this but before pulling the plug i need to know this. Also need to know about heated seats
The gps I routed around the glovebox to the passenger side of the dash. The puck needs a view of the sky. Alternatively, if you have factory gps, there's an adapter u can use that will leverage the OEM GPS antenna.
Microphone I routed to the side of the unit, right above the leather trim piece. Some customers have reported NOT needing the microphone attachment too. I believe if you don't connect their mic, the system will use your OE mic.
Heated seats work without a hitch. Tested em myself.
What’s up? Does the little control knob down by the shifter do anything?
Yep turning it adjusts your volume, and pushing left or right changes song or station
Hello! I seen where some Mark 5 will display an “airbag warning” have you had that issue and also can I play music from iPhone through bluetooth? Thanks in advance.
Haven't heard it described as an issue 😅 I'm pretty sure there's an airbag light on the OEM screens too, I just can't remember.
The light shows up to indicate the passenger airbag is disabled. When there's a butt in the passenger seat, it turns off 👍🏾
Yes Bluetooth audio from iPhone is supported

I am seriously considering buying one of these for my Q50, looks awesome and relatively easy to install. One question, my cell phone plan doesn't support hot spot so can I hard wire my phone to the screen for Waze and Spotify use while driving? Thanks!
Yep the units support wired and wireless carplay I'd you have an iPhone, as well as wired Android auto 👍🏾👍🏾
I'm new to aftermarket installation in Infiniti's, but from what it seems like the G37 infotainment is very similar to the q60
Do you think this would work in a g37?
Not this specific unit, but AuCar is working on a unit that will be direct fit for the G's
Coming soon. They'll be the same internals as the MK6, refactored to fit perfectly in the G37 dash. Sign up here (select the G37 option) and I'll notify you when they're available!! squarewheelsauto.com/pages/coming-soon
I installed step by step but my navigation won’t work for some reason
Do you recommend the Tesla or Phoenix radio and why?
Did u watch this video? 😅
Would I be able to watch HBO Max and UA-cam on these? I understand that its a full tablet with android as an OS. So I know the apps can be downloaded, but how do you get sound from the unit to play through the car speakers?
Yes HBO max and UA-cam work like any other app. I use UA-cam, Netflix, and UA-camTV pretty often.
All the sound goes through the aux channel of your car. Part of the installation is a T-harness that hijacks the signal.
Hey I installed mine yesterday. I don’t see a setting for the heated seats or steering wheel. Do you know how I can get those to function?
Intouch climate control settings.
Would u say this is more responsive than the factory screen, if all I will be doing on it is going to Apple CarPlay is it still worth it?
More responsive than factory screen: YES, infinitely - especially in CarPlay mode
Using as only CarPlay: debatably worth it. Its definitely worth it when used as a full android tablet. Maybe worth it if you factor in (and like) the change it has on the interior.
The only question I have is can you still turn the display off by pressing the brightness button by the mode selector, sometimes I like to ride with everything dark ya know.
I feel u, I used to like doing that too. I honestly haven't tried with this tho. Lemme check tomorrow and update u
So at the top of the screen, there's a little moon icon. Touching it blacks out the screen so u can drive in stealth mode. It comes back in next time u touch the screen or a button.
Thanks for the informative video!
Would you be able to acquire a iPhone and use it with the unit in a video? I want to purchase one, but I’d like to see how it works with the iPhone platform since that is what I use.
Thank you and great video!!
Hey - I don't have an iPhone but there's several videos of MK5 users showcasing Carplay in this group: facebook.com/groups/InfinitiAV
Do you have to use the microphone and speaker the screen comes with or can I leave them unplugged and still work as oem ?
Yep leave them in the box. OEM works great.

Hey nice videos man i love your car! I have a 2019 Q50 2.2d and i live in Germany. Can i just buy the screen on your website and replace it easily? Does it work with android phones aswell without problems?
Yep. Check my channel for the installation video. Most people get it done in less than an hour 👍🏾👍🏾
Works well with Android, I use it daily with my Samsung S21 as a hotspot.
Does the navigation need a hotspot? Where I live, the internet isn't that great.
Google navigation allows you to download maps of your local area so you can navigate without an internet connection. You'll miss out on all the live notifications/traffic rerouting/etc but it'd work.
And now that u mention it, there IS an app that came with the unit that was purely offline navigation. I can't remember the name of it, I uninstalled it 🙄
@@SquareWheelsAuto that was deal breaker/maker. Now I’m scared that if the tablet is broken, there’s no climate controls. Even if there is a warranty (idk if there is), I would have no AC till a new one comes in or go through the process of installing the old one
@@jarrelshotya2573 I see internet and HVAC as 2 completely independent topics. You can operate HVAC (and any other car functionality) anytime, whether or not you've got internet access. Additionally, there are hard buttons down the left and right side of the screen so that, in the unlikely event the screen stopped working, you could still fully operate your dual zone HVAC, front/rear defroster, etc etc.
Not providing internet would only hinder functionality on those apps that required internet to work. Hope this helps!
@@SquareWheelsAuto kinda understand. So are you saying you can use stock navigation system through the mark5? (Sorry if I missed it in the vid)
Awesome video. I'm considering getting this unit for my Q50S. I also like your foot well lighting. How is it wired? Are all the wires completely hidden?
Thanks! They're actually cheapo LEDs off Amazon (amzn.to/3dIv0BV). I insist on stealthy wiring whenever possible. I wired it to the dome lights, so they turn on when the doors open, or I hit the dome light button. Used this same circuit: ua-cam.com/video/8R3xZDizw3I/v-deo.html
@@SquareWheelsAuto Thanks for the reply. I'll check out your video and the led kit. I was going to buy the oem one that Infiniti offers but I like yours better.
Cool, just be warned: the major benefit of those is their price.
2 complaints I've got with them:
1) They are RGB so the white isn't 'pure' - looks more like orange to me
2) it sometimes forgets the setting it was last on, resulting in a surprise RGB rave in your footwells.
I'm actively looking for a better solution and I'll be sure to post what I come up with so stay tuned!
@@SquareWheelsAuto Will do.
Great video... Thanks, I think I am going to get it for my Q60. Any issues with heated seats?

@@SquareWheelsAuto thanks
Any updates on this, also heated steering wheel please! Thanks
@@ESoFly heated seats work great. I don't have heated steering wheel option to test, sorry!!
@@SquareWheelsAuto Ok, no worries. I appreciate your fast reply! This video alone has convinced me to pull the trigger on the Q60 due to the outdated screen being it's one big negative in my eyes.
Dumb question probably. But I’m an Apple girl, with a 2017 Q50. I got one that didn’t have the heated seats or navigation. Would this still work for me if I have an iPhone? And who would put this in for me. I’m ignorant to the process. Your answer will definitely help me
Not dumb, probably the most common question I get. Gonna post a video soon to address it.
But yes it definitely works with an iPhone. U can either feed it internet by setting your iphone as a hotspot, or use Carplay wired or wirelessly.
Installation is pretty easy, u can do it in less than an hour with just a screwdriver. I broke the install down here: ua-cam.com/video/Imqw7oa3izE/v-deo.html
If ur not comfortable doing it yourself, I bet any custom audio shop will do it for you.
Thx for watching! Lmk if u have any other questions 👍🏾
Do you have to have the microphone that comes with unit to use Siri or voice commands for it ?
Nope voice commands work great using OEM mics. I tossed the mic that came with it 👍🏾👍🏾
Love your vids, Just installed my MK5 & looks great. Question? I saw how you split the screen between video player and other apps. Is there a way to split screen for apps other than Videos?. I'd like to drive with maps on top half and my preferred Music player on bottom, but I haven't been able to find that setting. Thanks !
You have 2 different links for the GPS harness, which is the correct one? Thanks!
As I understand it, you need both.
Great review. Thank you !
thank YOU!
Have you had any problems or quirks with it
Have you run into any problems since uploading the video? Was thinking about getting it, but im a little perturbed that the problems I've been seeing with the mk3 might happen with this.
I only uploaded 3 days ago but it has been consistently stable for the ~1.5 weeks I've owned it - that's all I can go by! I've seen many reports of those MK3 issues too, and generally the issues dont "pop up" over time, they're messed up right outta the box
@@SquareWheelsAuto Thank you for the fast response! I figured there wasn't going to be much of a change never hurts to ask.
Question so do I have to send a picture of the dashboard and so with car play with my iPhone I can see apps like I music Waze etc and still have access to the extra features like Netflix hulu all in one ?
I don't think they need to see your dash as long as you pick the right year/trim when you order.
Yeah all the Carplay stuff works. Check out ua-cam.com/video/q_krcJmG4Fo/v-deo.html
Sir, I messed up my q50 screen by deleting some of the apps or software! So I’m thinking to buy this unit instead of fix the one comes with my q since this one is a lot better! So do u think this one would work right away? Even if my oem screen is not working great right now. Please answer my question!
It really depends on how bad you messed up the Q50 screen. This unit is an android tablet and thus has tons of functionality that will probably/definitely work well independently - but any functions that require communication with the vehicle (example, climate control, intouch menus, etc etc) are at risk - if they're screwed up, there's nothing the screen can do to help.
If it was me, I'd get one and give it a shot! I've heard having the dealer replace screens (or even just reloading apps) is super expensive.
@@SquareWheelsAuto I believe I only messed up the SD card lol. So does this one come with one?
@@alialghanim1377 nope. Think of this as a pretty screen that sits in front of all the factory stuff.
What about the steering wheel controls do they work aside from just volume. I saw that you didn't have to run connectors but I wanted to check on this unit and haven't had the chance to compare
So voice control maps to their weird nexar voice app. I've uninstalled it and not sure how to remap to something else. The phone button doesn't do anything (I can't recall what it did before I installed this). Everything else (next/prev track, etc) work normally
@@SquareWheelsAuto definitely a huge improvement there. I keep my phone bt going to the car and can use the SWC to still answer calls. Do you know if that would work? Otherwise, it just launched the voice controller. You might be able to map it now to OK Google vs nexar?
@@ESigma 🤔🤔🤔🤔 u know i might try that - I'm not thrilled with the UX of the phone interface on this unit so that would be a good solve. Will give it a shot this afternoon and let u know. Thx!!!
@@SquareWheelsAuto do the next/prev wheel buttons work for you for BT audio and/or Car Auto (CarPlay)? I can’t seem to get them to work for me for that.
Can you play video while driving on this unit. I like the tesla screen style, but is on the fence, since it require a Hotspot to run the unit. I was also looking at the smartauto kit and saw your video showing how I can play video while driving which is what I want. Seeing that you have experience with both unit, which one do you think is better?
Yeah it can do video while driving also (downloaded videos like the smartautokits, as well as Netflix, UA-cam, Hulu, whatever)
I like the Tesla screen better for 2 reasons:
1) it looks awesome in comparison
2) no wires, nothing to plug in when I drive. It just works.
It also does a lot more than the Smartautokits unit. It's essentially an Android tablet so it can run any app.
Hope this helps!!!
@@SquareWheelsAuto thanks for the help. Think I'm gonna get this mark 5 since it's only 300 more then the smartautokit
Oh is there a different on which option I choose, because I have a 2016 q50 with 360 camera and on the option it only have the 360 camera on the 2018 red sport, or do you think the American lhd option will work with my car. I emailed them a couple days ago but didn't get a response yet
American LHD is the one u want 👍🏾👍🏾 enjoy!!! Don't forget the $50 code

Hey just picked up a 2017 q50rs, really thinking about getting this unit but don’t wanna void my warranty - is it worth it?
This is probably a very stupid question but would this be worth purchasing if you own an Iphone? I assume a lot of the functionality and benefits of the unit would not work with an Iphone? The next question would be are their any units that work hand in hand with Iphone?
Not stupid at all. These are android devices, but they fully support and integrate with iphones. There's full Carplay support, both wired and wireless.

Bro can we get some iphone users reviews on this product? Does this thing work with an iPhone?
I don't have an iphone but several users in the InfinitiAV group on facebook have posted videos of carplay working perfectly, both wired and wirelessly.
Love the video! I've been contemplating on getting this type of screen on my Q. I do have 1 question though, does it work only with the OEM back up camera or can it work with an aftermarket one as well? My biggest peeve on my Q is the quality of the camera (I have a 2014 model, only have the rear camera and no 360 view) and would love to see if getting the Mark V and maybe getting a better quality camera would improve it. (Any recommendation as far as what back up camera to pair this with?)
Good question, I hear you on the camera quality lol. This screen is high definition, so it'll actually make your stock camera look worse, because it's stretching the low resolution image out wider.
Esigma is running a group buy for an HD camera, you can join it here: squarewheelsauto.com/pages/hd-camera-group-buy
@@SquareWheelsAuto Thats what I thought. Any recommendations on aftermarket camera? Lol.
See link above, the Esigma camera is the only option I'm aware of... It looks good
Thanks man! I can't wait to get this and the camera!
Hi, is possible to change the wallpaper? thanks
Did you have to uninstall the piggypacked motherboard from the screen (Have a Joyeauto and had to take the screen apart. How is the call quality? Had call issues using the carplay kit and was running it through BT q50 audio. How has this one compared??
No piggyback/motherboard like the joyeauto (check out my installation video). Haven't had any complaints about by calls - my wife would def let me know 😅
Does this void the manufacture warranty?
Unlikely. Unless you're going for a warranty repair for something related to the entertainment system.
Great video!!!
Does the unit take long to start up when you start the car or is there a lag?
It's got fastboot, so if you've run it less than 24 hours ago then it's available pretty much instantly when you start up (seconds). If its been over 24 hrs it does a full reboot and that takes more like 30 seconds
hey, couple questions for you. Are you able to use wired carplay with the factory usb’s in the center console? If so what app in the unit would you need to use in order to enable it?.
Second question, what app within the unit would allow you to use wired carplay?
1) I've heard mixed results from those who have tried using the factory USB plugs. The unit definitely includes its own USB ports and I know for a fact CarPlay works with those.
2) The unit comes with Zlink preinstalled. That's the app for wired or wireless Carplay. I showcase it here: ua-cam.com/video/q_krcJmG4Fo/v-deo.html
My intouch icon screen is not working. Just black screen above the home icon
Be sure your connections are seated securely! If not, stuff won't work. If you're sure your connections are good, hit me on email/chat/IG and I'll hook u up with AUCar support 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Appreciate you homie, 2 questions? What is the purpose of the mark 5 speaker and how did you run your microphone speaker line or better yet where did you end up installing it? Thanks Godspeed
I honestly have no idea what the speaker is for. I didn't install it, and I haven't noticed any purpose for it.
I ran the microphone out the driver side, just above the leather trim on the center console. I've seen some other people run it up the a pillar so it's closer to the drivers mouth, but that makes the voice assistant/bluetooth mic less accessible for my passengers.
@@SquareWheelsAuto the speaker is for navigation Prompts etc... Do your navigation Prompts come over through the car speakers?
Ah, thanks@@atsila_one I use Waze and Google Maps navigation and the prompts come through the speakers like my other apps
@@SquareWheelsAuto perfect I definitely won't be using the little speaker.... Lol where did you place your Navigation antenna
@@atsila_one I ran the wire behind the glovebox on the passenger side, and tucked it on the dash in the far corner, stuck down with some 3M tape. Wish I coulda found a more discrete spot but it needs a view of the sky. If you have factory nav, there’s a harness u can buy to use your OE antennas - my Q didn’t come with factory nav tho.
Looks amazing and it’s a great idea on paper but the performance makes it feel cheap. Spinning loading circles and 15fps when scrolling through the menu is a deal breaker for me. It doesn’t perform as smoothly as I would like
This video's over a year old. Check out the MK6 video 😈
Do u have a issue with your camera..cause i have a 360 camera and i never had a issue with my mark 1 3 years ago but now wen I install the mark 3 wen i put the car in reverse it display my front view instead of the rear
Nope sounds like a switched connection somewhere though
how do you change the bottom picture without sergey firmware?
I dont recall. Before I got the Sergey firmware I used Nova Launcher. I thought the launcher that came with it was kinda useless.
Does the mark5 work with Apple CarPlay and is there any difference with Audio quality?
Carplay: ua-cam.com/video/q_krcJmG4Fo/v-deo.html
Audio plays through the car's aux source, so audio quality is unaffected, it'll sound the same as any other source on the car 🤙🏽
Do I need to buy an additional parts for the backup camera to work?
Nope all u need is in the box. Check out my install video on this channel I do a lil unboxing so u can see what's included👍🏾
@@SquareWheelsAuto thanks for the response! Because of your video I went and purchased the unit lol. Do I need to purchase any other accessories for like gps or anything? I do have the gps in the car already...
@@chatchankhan1971 to use your factory gps antenna instead of the included puck, you'll need these:

Other than that, you should be good! Enjoy!!!
I have an iPhone does this have car play? And with the car play I get get all the apps just like my iPhone ?
Yes wired and wireless CarPlay. So it’ll show all your apps that are CarPlay compatible.
So I finally installed mine can I get a quick overview in how to get mine to look like yours
Nice! In this video, I had Nova Launcher installed that lets me do custom screens and widgets. I've since installed the Sergey Firmware that has some decent themes. Check out my other video on it: ua-cam.com/video/O2idZGmHJdo/v-deo.html
@@SquareWheelsAuto appreciate it bro and I just requested the Sergey firmware
@@SquareWheelsAuto and yeah I just been having trouble lol trying to customize it
@@Officialfabreeze Bet. Sergeys awesome and he'll walk u thru the install. The themes in his firmware are awesome right out of the box. Once I get bored of them, I'll probably go back to Nova Launcher - its what I have on my phones because its a clean simple interface
@@SquareWheelsAuto yeah I seen the sergey firmware looks amazing I can’t wait and how did you customize your nova launcher I was so confused messing around with the settings and where do I go to put the lines back on my back up camera
Has there been an announcement of when the new Gen is coming out?
Nothing official yet! There's rumors saying as early as mid November, others saying not til next year. I'll definitely do a video as soon as I hear something official so stay tuned!!! 👍🏾
Do they have the 2022 compatible model for the Infiniti Q50 sensory edition 300hp twin turbo?
There's confirmed support up to 2021 models. If nothing's changed on the 2022 infotainment/wiring, the same units should work. They'd need to see the back if your top screen to be sure.
How does this work with audio quality. Any noticeable difference?
Nope sounds good to me. It just sends audio through the Bose amp like any other input, and there's a 16 band equalizer for fine tuning.
Ok newbie question but has anyone experienced the issue with the back up sensors not work and my air bag light staying on in the unit? I followed the instillation video you posted but something isn’t right?!
Yeah the little airbag light stays on on mine too - I think that's normal.
When you say the back up sensors don't work, what do you mean exactly? If you ordered through squarewheelsauto, don't hesitate to open up a support ticket on the site, or just shoot me an email at support@squarewheelsauto.com
i have the nifty city 13.6inch one on my infiniti fx35, everything works perfectly except when i turn the volume pretty high... it gets super distorted, wasn't sounding like this with the stock radio. Any ideas? I've changed the AMP to Factory and all that did was made the sound VERY VERY LOW. Any ideas?
Hey quick question just installed mine and whenever I press in touch it doesn’t show the oem controls is that a glitch I can resolve and how do you get the yellow lines to show up for the reverse camera , mine don’t show
If intouch isn't showing it is probably something not connected securely. Check all the connections in back and make sure they click in. Reverse guidelines is a setting in user settings.
@@SquareWheelsAuto okay thank you I’ll uninstall it again tomorrow and secure the connections to make it work , thank you for the quick reply
Where did you get those floors mats link please
Fleabay specials man! 😅 ebay.com I think they were like $60 but they look good and they've held up really well
Where can i get those floormats though??
eBay fam!!
How about the screen brightness in full day light? That was one upgrade from the Mark 2 to the Mark 3.
Its good in most conditions. When I have direct light coming Ithru the sunroof it's tough to see. It's basically the same core hardware as the MK3
@@SquareWheelsAuto thanks for the info. I've been hesitant on the Mark 3 because of the bugs. This might be the solution. Thank you!
@@solicitutoob glad I could help!! 😎
