Purchased the Mk6 through SquareWheels and love the upgrade. This installation video made it super easy. Thanks for all your videos. I'm just going to copy your work 😉
Thx Chris that means the world to me every time I hear it!!! Enjoy that MK6!!
I i buy this!! Is it necessary to use the russian firmware to work fluid?
@@SquareWheelsAutoI installed an amp with subwoofers. I have the RCA cables going into the the amp from the mk6. I cannot get the subs working. Any suggestions?
@@BrettGoldstein83 don't use the RCA's. See support.squarewheelsauto.com/support/solutions/articles/73000573123-do-the-units-come-with-preamp-rca-line-outs-for-hooking-up-aftermarket-amps-
@@SquareWheelsAuto thank you for the quick response. In the video I see that you are working with the original unit. Is it the same process when adding a subwoofer using the Tesla screen?
Here I am laying in bed watching a video on how to install a touch screen on a car I don’t even have lol
LMFAO no judgement here, I applaud your vision and foresight!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Same here 😂
I'm glad I wasn't the only one. 😄
Same, but I'm picking my Q50RS 2019 in 5 hours 😁
😭😭😭 the Accuracy
Thank you for doing this mod. The center stack has been the only major drawback with the cockpit design. Seeing this work is "literally" a refresh that could move units.
Just submit ur resume to Infiniti/Nissan motors bro! U could be their aftermarkets tech product manager or his coffee runner while he takes credit for all ur ideas 🤣
LMFAO I already got a day job for that 🤣
New to the channel. Luv the content and the thorough explanation. It's really helpful to the non tech savvy guys that are old school!! Greatly appreciated! Going to order the 6 tonight! Thanks again!!
Hey Rob, we met at the car meet last week with Tyler. Glad I found your videos, looking forward to getting this asap!
What a great video didn't even know this was possible!
Can get the screen for Europe RHD too :) very impressed with this mod. Those dual screens don't bother me but really mark the car down in almost every review i've seen on here.
Thank you much appreciated!
Appreciate this install video. I was never one to mess with electronics but seeing as how easy this is and how thorough your vid is, I bit the bullet and purchased me the Mark 5. Can't wait for it to come.
Awesome! Here's to a smooth install 🍻
Hey how did it go??
@@KillSh0tKD35 Install was not hard. Don't think it was in the video, but make sure you connect the USB adapter that comes with the screen if you want to upload music via USB or update the firmware in the future. I forgot to put mine in so had to find a different method to store my music since I did not want to exclusively stream music via Bluetooth (tedious to take apart and reinstall). Aside from that, install is straight forward and the product works as should. This video is a great tutorial! You won't have any issues.
@@TazZ243 where is the adapter plugged in?
@@Reytose1 I guess I should say harness. It's provided with the screen. You'll see where to plug it in on the back of the Tesla screen. If you decide to plug in the USB harness, I believe you will need to figure out a way to run it from the back of the screen to the center console.
Thank you for the video! I installed this in my ‘19 Q50 Luxe and it works fantastically, Followed your video to a t and it took me around 4 hours for the install. Wasn’t too difficult
Did this void your warranty? I just got a 19 q50 luxe as well
@@BruhSoul It shouldn’t void the warranty unless you have an electrical issue
Install is complete…took less than an hour. Everything works great. I posted this video in a q50 /60 page on Facebook. Hope it gets you some more business.
Thanks man!!! Enjoy that screen!
You have a talent for walkthrough videos. Best in depth guide I’ve seen in awhile
I appreciate that!! 🙏🙏
Excellent video! Super detailed. Have been contemplating purchasing a preowned Q50. Seems like a great value for what you get. Just didn't care for the double screen. After watching your install I have made my decision.
It's a great platform and the screen completes the interior! Welcome to the family 🙌🏿
Very good instal video. Very calm. I really dislike it when you have 4 people yelling while trying to show you how to do something.
Hey thanks I appreciate it!! I have a 2 year old, so I celebrate moments of calm when I get 'em
Thanks for the video and coupon code! Now the one thing I hated about my car is no longer an issue! 👍🏾
Facts! The Q's Achilles heel is definitely it's infotainment, this'll help a lot. Enjoy!!!
What coupon code? I'm looking to buy it. Thank you.
Nice I think I will get this Mark5 within the next week. I have a 2017 Q60 so I'm guessing this will fit perfectly since it has dual-screen infotainment screens.
Looks great! Wish you showed more apps but great vid sir.
Thank you for this great video! I'm looking forward to your review videos for this AuCar Android Entertainment Center. I was planning to buying a competitor's but stopped because there seemed to have too many bugs. Also, subscribed. Thanks again!
Uploading now!! Thx for the support!!! 😎
Excellent video and good job explaining the process of install
Thank you been wanting to after seeing how easy it is I’m gonna try
Super video - this looks like a great product, and so easy to install with the info you provide. Thank you!
Thanks for watching AJ!!!
I’m grabbing one of these asap. I appreciate the info. Totally!
I finally installed my MK6, your instructions made it easy. Any suggestions on changing the rear camera? THANKS AGAIN!!
Happy to have helped! Search my site for HD camera, I've got ya covered 🫡
Great video. Just got my Mark 5 and will do install today. Any recommendations for a dash cam that I can incorporate?
Great Video, I just purchased it and eager to install it, thanks to your help!
Awesome, enjoy Christian! Stay tuned, I've started messing around with mods and different launchers - more to come!
OK, finally got one of these, and finally got it installed. I'm a complete novice so it was a struggle for me. But I'm happy with it.
But...
My rear view camera is backwards, and the lines are missing. Any idea how to resolve this? Thanks.
Great video ! Helped alot !! But I'm having an issue with android auto ... Can not make it come on for the life of me... What am I missing ?? Did you hook up the double usb connector it came with ? Do you have to plug it into that ??? Cuz I hooked up the wire that connects to the cars usb ports , but it won't initialized android auto.. and the wireless doesn't work either
I have the Mark III it have some glitches though. But it was very easy to put it.
Ordered using your coupon code, can’t wait to get the unit in and installed!
Enjoy!!
Hs it arrived yet?/ how long did it take to arrive?
Also- Did it come with everything? I’ve seen in some other comments they didn’t include a harness or something which deters me from ordering
Thanks for the response
@@EvoDad87 it has arrived, didn’t take long at all, don’t quite remember how long though. It did come with everything needed for the install.
Looks so good but where did the heated seat buttons go?
During the video you said there was an extra step to install the USB in the glove compartment. Was that something I missed or did you mean to leave it out of the video? Can you let me know how that's done? Additionally, if I have the Bose System in the Q50 Red Sport, is there something I need to do with the RCA cables? Or does this system integrate with the Bose system?
Excellent video!
I'm looking to purchase this screen but I have the 360 camera. Do I need extra wires for that or is all in the settings?
Hey man quick question, thinking about the MK6 I have a 2015 Q60, wondering does it come with the frame work regarding the head unit trim or do I have to buy that separate. I appreciate the help !
HI, just placed my order and your discount code still works
Oh awesome, ENJOY and come back to the comments if u run into any issues!
what was the cord sticking out of the right side of the center console? also were did you mount the microphone??
Thank you for this video. Ive watched it a few times getting ready to locate the sonar control module. 👍
Sure thing, glad it’s helpful ✌🏽😎
the mk6 has a different back end than the mk5, how do i know which is which to install on. are all accessories needed?
Great Great video and very informative i have a question do you do installation for others? Thank you.
Nope I just mess around on my own car. Thanks for watching!
Very helpful thank you
Can you tell me what you HATE about this screen? I've read and heard that the back up camera isn't clear/1080P and it's glitchy/lagging when at start ups..
Hey, so I installed the product about 5 days ago and I'm having an issue with the android auto, my phone will say its hooked up to the car but when you press car auto on the mark5, the zlink always says waiting, randomly it worked once when I started the car and left warming it up, and thats exactly how i want to use this product, how do I get this zlink to work every time?
you have some great videos and a perfect voice for narration. i'm a novice car guy but you seem to be the expert to this product and install. is the newer AUCar tesla screen still being delayed? is this sergey firmware i'd pay $100 for, a lifelong service? does your coupon code still work?
Thanks your your support Yeeman!
1) yes the new screen is still severely delayed. The shutdowns in Shenzhen certainly aren't helping 😮💨
2) the Sergey software is a one time purchase, and he frequently provides updates (ota in most cases) that resolve issues and unlock new features. I can't say enough good things, I'm a big fan of how he works.
3) coupon code is still active, both on my site and on Aucar's
Thanks for watching! Lemme know if I can answer any questions!
How you can download CZcams on my mk5 or apps can you help me with this thank you
Rob, where do your have your Vantrue dashcam hardwired to?
Thank you so much, it help me to install my.
Does this come with Apple CarPlay?
Brother, thank you for such an amazing presentation. I'm about to install the Phoenix mkiii on my Q50s. It's been 2 years since your install of the AU car mk5. How has it stood to the test of time, did you ever go back to stock? Again, thank you for your awesome efforts. 👌
I've been daily-driving the MK6 (next generation) since it came out. It lives up to the hype! Wouldn't go back to stock if you paid me to!
Saw you Notification and I thought it was the headlights video
Soon homie! Thx for the support I appreciate u!!!
Hi thanks for the information on how to install. I have installed mine last week but the heated seats are not working am I missing something?
Nope don’t think I did anything special and mine worked fine right outta the box - I’d check with support!
How do I connect my cars GPS to the unit so I don't have to use the one that comes with it?
Will having bose make a difference?
Great info as always. Do you know if this system will work with the 2014 Q50?
Yep compatible with all years and trims 👍🏾👍🏾
I have the mk5 can u pla tell me how to spilt the screen on it
Great video. When you put the tesla screen in did you leave the rca and the aux plugs off or did you find a place to tuck them in?
I tucked mine in, but I've heard people been fine not even plugging them in.
Do you sell all the harnesses that I can buy I just bought one off of eBay and he tried to scams me with no converter harnesses at all to connect to my oem radio
Will this work on the 2020 q60 models?
Great video. Question please, does the upper screen go behind the new tesla style screen? Does that mean it’s on as well?
Yep its still back there doin its thing =)
Where did u get ur floor mats ?
just put my order in! looking forward to receiving it. Rob, is this the best place to ask you questions or use the number we rec'd the text confirmation on for future questions?
Thanks for your order! I prioritize responding to customer texts and emails first, but I try to be pretty responsive on social media too!
I don't see where you connected the USB to back of screen or how you ran through your console. Can you show that.
Also, everything works as advertised except Android Audio. What an I missing?
Nice. Thinking about it. My lower screen is getting cloudy and bubbling.. Too much heat in FL. (2014 Q50) Might be a nice upgrade. But on video, the side buttons (defrost) looks a little wonky. Is it noticable or fixable?
Fitment/buttons is perfect, it may have been a funny camera angle 🤔
Be sure to stay tuned, the next iteration of this screen (MARK6) is now out! Details coming soon.
Great video. Looking forward to update.
Hi. Where did you install the microphone it is necessary ?
Yeah it is used for voice commands and Bluetooth calls. I installed mine (as inconspicuously as possible) on the lower driver side of the unit, held in place by the leather trim. Hit me on IG and I'll send ya a pic @squarewheelsauto
Are you able to insteall this in Infiniti qx50?
i dont got volume on mine. idk what i did wrong
Thanks for the great vid...I ordered and am about to start the install. My biggest question...does the unit not use the mic and speakers from the OEM? do you have to use the mic/speaker provided in the kit in order to do hands free calls? I would think that once you are in "car play" it would use the organic mic for phone calls.
I've seen it mentioned that the unit will work fine with the oem mic and speakers. No need to install those included with the mk5.
100% correct
You guys rock. Going to install tomorrow. Might vlog it.
Just installed mine today absolutely love it! 1 thing how do I get my lines on the back up cam
My lines were on outta the box. Lemme check and get back to u
@@SquareWheelsAuto I got it had to go into settings and turn on track lines! I glad mine doesn't have no delay when turning the wheel.
@@atsila_one Glad to hear it man - does yours have the OE tracklines? or yellow ones
@@SquareWheelsAuto OE
@@atsila_one hey do u have 360 cameras or just backup? Does your camera button work?
Hey bro so dumb questions, actual question is: this is all carriers supported and wifi from the services.
Dumb question: so if i forget my phone or lose service from my cellphone(reception) ill be good with or without my phone from the car having its own service and make calls???
I like ur Chanel it really helps lots bro and all of you content. And how good is the Tesla screen in the Q50 is that the latest one also and is this one the Android which you can also download apps into it
preciate ur support! 🙏🙏
@@SquareWheelsAuto you're welcome bro and does this screen have the Android in it but you can download like the Android app
Yessir it's essentially a standalone Android tablet with Play Store so u can download and run any apps
Appreciate your video is really very helpful and I was able to install my mark 5 by myself. But I'm having issue with my GPS and it's not working. Any setting that I should do to make it work. Appreciate if you can help me with this. Thank you.
Make sure it's plugged into the screw post fully, and make sure the puck has a clear view of the sky for best results. Here's where I mounted mine: czcams.com/users/shortsqVZdVurUr1Y?feature=share
@@SquareWheelsAuto Thanks for the videos on this! Really helpful. Did you just push the cable into the cracks of your dash and pillar or did you remove the pieces to tuck the puck cable in behind them?
@@MarkLovetv tucked em using a cheap interior trim tool
With the mk5 how do you spit the screen
Hello man, I hope you are doing well.
I wanted to check if it works Japanese version Q50(skyline).
Yes! We'll just need a pic of your dashboard 👍🏾
Has anyone dealt with the screen being upside down? Installed mine today and the screen was inversed
I have a quick question, Sometimes when I turn my car on my unit doesnt powerup, I have to turn the car off and back on several times for it to comeon, the problem happens off and on not every time. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
I see you had the smartautokit installed on it before this. Do you need to take remove the daughterboard on the top screen from the smartautokit in order to make this work?
I don't think I *needed* to, but I did because they're duplicative - the MK5 does everything the SAK unit does and more.
Plus I wanted to share a vanilla-like install experience since that's what most will be dealing with 🤘🏾😎
that looks fresh af! are you voiding any warranties with it?
Doubtful. Maybe radio warranty? 😅
Great video. I think I will be replacing my carplay unit shortly. Quick question though. You mention you need to install the microphone so I assume that means the unit will not operate with the OEM microphones? Also, where did you put the microphone?
Works great with OEM microphones. I installed mine in a junk drawer 😅
@@SquareWheelsAuto excellent, I must have not heard you correctly.
@@-fivehead- well I installed it when I recorded this video. Then I learned afterwards that it's better to just use the oe mics
would this fit the Japanese version (Nissan skyline) I have a 2015 nissan skyline with the same systems as infiniti q50 but its defective. so im wondering if this unit could work on it.
It should work. But if your OEM system is defective this isn't guaranteed to fix your issues (depending on the issue - if its just a defective screen, then this is a good solve).
Thanks for a great video. Quick question please , I have a 2014 q50 and the bottom screen started with an issue not loading all apps so I’m seriously considering replacing the stock layout with the one in your vid. Replacement for standard unit in South Africa Nissan is charging 56K, it’s crazy. So my question is this unit should work fine on the 2014 model,??
I noticed some infinity software load on the screen after fitment , is that emulated from the cars software or is that downloaded from apps. ?
Sorry that makes two questions . Just need to be sure before ordering .
Thanks again for a very informative video .👍🏻👍🏻
Phill
Makes perfect sense Phill.
So yes, these units work with 2014+ Q50s. But the screen is definitely a "piggyback" - in the InTouch menus I demoed, it was *actually* displaying the cars menus. Not emulating, not an app. So if that functionality isn't working on your car currently, the problems would probably persist (unless the issue is just with your factory screen, and not the computer behind it)
Hope that helps? Good luck man
Hey Rob, thanks so much for the reply , much appreciated 😊
@@SquareWheelsAuto hey I have a Ford Taurus 2013 v6 you think I could install this
Hey Rob , seasons greetings , So I had my top unit replaced on my Q50 and all functions are back again 😊. So my next step is to upgrade to the au car mark 5, as you have . One question though, I read in some discussions that some of the aucar units cause the airbag light to come on. Did you experience the same issue with the Mark 5 . Thanks for the previous reply, highly appreciate it. Seasons greetings !! 😊
Glad to hear u got your top screen sorted, Reaper!
So on the Q50, there is a little airbag indicator light that turns on when there's nobody in the passenger seat: czcams.com/video/XoNHV2I7O7s/video.html
The MK5 moved that indicator to a location on the left of the screen, and it behaves the same way.
Not a glitch or bug in my opinion, and totally not 'caused by' the MK5, but people complain about anything these days 😅😅
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
Hey Rob best if the new year To ya, You mentioned in a follow up vid that a new model
Might see the light , any more news on that ? Have a good one thanks Phill.
@@Reaper-cs7qt They keep experiencing delays due to COVID complications, and the dates keep getting pushed out. I'm still hoping for sooner than later, but hope is only getting me so far :)
Great video. Been looking for something like this. Where do these units ship from?
China! Shipped via DHL door to door in 3-5 days.
There's another vendor selling them on Amazon, YMMV: amzn.to/3jQq6pj
@@SquareWheelsAuto Cool thanks. Appreciate it.
Hey I’m thinking of getting a 2014 3.7, I heard the screen is a bit slow, would this be a good upgrade ? Would it be compatible? Thank you
Pre-welcome to the VQ Q50 family! Yeah the OEM screens are useless (in my opinion). I love the Tesla screen upgrade. Its not perfect, and its definitely not iPad speeds but its way better responsiveness and infinitely better features than the OEM screens. And yes totally compatible with a 14.
I have a 2014 q50s and both my screens have recently been going black but the camera still works sometimes and some days both screen work perfectly fine until I turn off the car.I want to get this mark 5 screen but I’m not sure if I need to replace anything ?
Depends what's causing the screens to go out. If it's a screen issue, then no need to replace anything, this unit would work. But if it's something upstream from the screens (like wiring or source signals), then it might still go black when you're in the InTouch menus. Everything else should work tho.
i wonder if i could do something like this to mine, that so skill thou
Legit trying to install this right now I know I have all the connections correct I bought the mark 6 mine looks nothing like your and I have no audio everything else works tho idk why I’m getting frustrated
Had my mk6 for about 3 months now. I have a 2018 q50 red sport, Recently my camera does not come on when car is in reverse or in front view. Error message EventCenter keeps stopping. How do I fix this
Contact support!
Just some questions just cause you did it all and your so informative, I can imagine you tested a lot of stuff. For example the aucar mic, do you have to use it? Or can the infiniti factory mics for the hand free still work? Are there any functions that you lost thanks tlt he tesla screen or does everything work like factory? Do you ever have to update it? Ik you got the surge firmware jump in another video but does it do its own updates or does it have to be manually downloded on a usb to update it? Oh and this one is dumb but does the gps work with in dash screen in the instrument cluster?
-no need to use the included mic, the system will fallback to your OEM mics
-all factory functions are retained and you have access to the factory menus via InTouch.
-all screens ship with the latest firmware and updates are infrequent. In the event of an update, it's done via USB
- OEM gps works, but the beauty of these screens is they're full Android so you can use Google or Waze navigation which in my opinion is infinitely better than oe nav
Also note: the MK6 is out now.
@@SquareWheelsAuto my good sir you are the true mvp of it all 🙏🏼 cant wait to try the tesla screen and interior glow set up ya did. This car is slowly become my dream machine 😎🤙🏼 pu the goat! 🐐
I appreciate all your videos question for you and I couldn’t seem to find an answer already. I did the install and am running into issues with sound. It plays with my InTouch app but if I use any other app it cuts it off. And goes to aux and I get no sound from that. Thanks again for anything you may know on it.
Sorry, late seeing this - did you get it resolved? If not I'd definitely say check with support I'm sure its a setting somewhere!
@@SquareWheelsAuto there is an answer in the settings menu to change to manual AUX, save and reboot. I was having the same issue.
@@maronsamuel8523 love it man, thx for sharing!!!!
hey so my Mark 6 was working fine.. all of a sudden the screen is black. Still lit, but black.. and the unit hvac buttons are still work & lit up.. Any ideas?
email me with your order number and I'll get you set
May be a dumb question. I am thinking of getting the Mark 6 which I assume is a similar install. I also have the smartautokit tab version. Did you need to open the screen and remove the PCM board or just the piggy back? I really dont want to have to open screen again lol.
I hear you, I've had the smartautokits and done the install 🤣🤣
I removed it completely before installing the MK5/MK6 but that was just because I wanted to resell it.. I can't guarantee it would work with the pcm board still in, but my gut says you would probably be fine.
I changed my battery , and now my controls aren't working for the mark 6
Can I run a sub through the rca output only or would you have to connect the rest of the sound system to a separate amp and run those to the stock speakers??
You could, you'd just need to figure out a way to control the subwoofer volume separately. Not worth the effort in my opinion
thank you for the great video, i just receive my MK6 and i haven't install it yet, but i hope you can share where if you put the SIM card port? and also, any issues with steering control? any plugs needed on the steering end?
as of right now you can’t use volume buttons for the MK6, not sure about cruise control or anything yet as im currently struggling on getting the damn boot to go down it feels like if it’s sowed on mine or something idk
@@oscmor425 does the steering volume button works on the mk5? Any idea?
I just posted an install video on my channel check it out. Idk what y'all are talking about re: volume control - everyone's able to control vol and tracks via steering wheel on both MK5 and MK6
I do have a question? Since I have a 2018 Q50 S , would I lose the heated steering wheel option ? For climate controls?
Heated steering and all climate controls are accessible thru InTouch. Btw, this is the old MK5... the MK6 is out now and even better: czcams.com/video/mp3OE77U0AY/video.html
no sound in my 2017 q50 infiniti
Will be well appreciated let me know I can buy asap
Hey great video, but when I click the link and try to buy one for some reason every time I put my number in it doesn’t send code
Doesn't send code? Can u email support@squarewheelsauto.com, I'll get you sorted out 👍🏾
Does 14:10 cable allow the usb ports to work with the aucar? On my 2014 it doesnt work. I saw there is a harness for 2 usb ports that connects via a brown port on the back of the aucar but no idea where the usb ports from the harness go
varies by car. I can't use the OEM usb ports for the tesla screen on my car but I've heard it works for others.
run the USB ports either to the armrest or to your glovebox.
Where does the radio get its internet connection from for like the maps and music, apps etc.? I may missed that part if you covered it.
I make my phone a hotspot
Check my overview video there's more detail there. This one's just the installation 👍🏾👍🏾
This is so dope
Will this fit a 2018 Infiniti Q50 · 3.0t LUXE Sedan 4D Automatic Transmission?
Yes
