    Fx35 owner here! Yes your right about upgrading I have the cream colored seats and my car looks so much better at night due to some cracking near the glove compartment I wish a new dash wasn’t 2,100 I’ll probably upgrade to this before I tackle buying a new dash! This is just stunning!

      Buying a new dash from the dealer would be setting yourself up for the same issues your having now. It's not like it's been upgraded to better material so it doesn't happen again 🤷🏻‍♂️
      Your better off with Inlay because it's cheaper and a lot less labor intensified. As well if it should crack like your original dash another $300-$400 won't hurt as much.
      I think I'll be going to the inlay dash as I am tired of seeing that cheap Chinese Velcro attached overlay I have. My FX45 deserves better.

    I have a qx50 and will be attempting an install. little worried as I have navigation and 360 cameras with sonar, and your camera view didn't show any 360 options or sonar. You can try sideloading netflix and other apps through your usb. You download to your phone first, back them up off your phone with a backup app, copy it to usb. use a file manager on the car radio to view your usb and click on the app file to install it. make sure in android setting installing from unknown sources is set. There's lots of info on sideloading android apps on the net and youtube. Thanks for the video!

I have a service appointment with phoenix later this week. hopefully they can fix it because I love this Tesla panel. :) If I figure out the problem I'll come back and post here in case others have the same issue. Now to install the 12volt solution plug and play remote start and curt trailer hitch. :) Thanks again for the help.

      @@wagzz Youre fortune enough to be able to get assistance from them in person. Living in Massachusetts, I didn’t have that option. But I can tell you that my car wouldn’t shut off either, or the gauges wouldn’t work at all. Turns out it was two of the “Electronic Parts” fuses under the drivers footwell. I’m not sure if the install blew both since I was also installing a USB OBDII reader, but I definitely know it blew one because after I removed the USB, the radio blew it out again. My issue was that I never unplugged the battery when I did it although that doesn’t explain what actually caused the issue. After replacing the fuse, it didn’t blow again so I’m assuming it was during the install. I hope you can use this and find your issue.

We'll see how it goes. I checked all the fuses in my car near the wheel well and they are all ok. Good to know it was specifically the electronics one. I think I only have one of those. I've been getting help in the g37 forum and they had mentioned the fuse thing. I'll check the electronics ones again just to be sure. Thanks.

      @@hypnotikgenius ok, So I can verify sideloading netflix or other apps is pretty easy. Download netflix apk from apkpure dot com and copy it to usb. Or if you're lazy like me and don't want to carry stuff to the car, you can install wifi transfer pro on your car and it makes your cars android storage available on your network via browser. Anyway, open file explorer under system apps, find the apk file, click on it it'll tell you installing apps from unknown sources is not allowed, click on allow or follow that screen to the spot where you can turn on unknown sources, after that, it'll either finish the install, or you might have to click on the apk a second time to install. Netflix looks good on the screen

    Hoping to get some info/share some info. Where do the USB ports end up being located? Is there a spot in the display, or is it kind of just loose? To share info - on the TPMS - looks like you can purchase "usb tpms Android" that interfaces with aftermarket radios. There are ones for external sensors and ones for internal (Infiniti uses internal I believe)

    • @hypnotikgenius
      @hypnotikgenius  3 года назад

      There are 2 USB ports that come out of the back of the radio. One of them gets hooked up to the supplied adapter to work with the stock Usb location in the center console. The other you can run or hide where you'd like. I installed a 128gb flash drive with a ton of movies/songs and it acts as my hard drive. I hid this behind the first cover you remove to get to the radio. As for the TPMS, the externals are an option for sure, but the OEMs certainly don't work with the radio.

    • @hypnotikgenius
      @hypnotikgenius  3 года назад +2

      It’s not for the faint of heart, for sure. But it is fairly straightforward. The most difficult part for me was running the gps antenna and hiding the wire. I have no doubt you can do this if you take your time, follow the video, and ask questions on your way. Alternatively, a competent shop could do this but for a premium. It would most likely be considered a custom job. Hope this helps.

    Dude thanks so much for this video. I've been considering one of these for about 2 years now but I hadn't found very good reviews.
    Did your backup camera guides still work? I have the base qx70 and I had read somewhere the turning-linings (the ones that turn with the steering wheel) don't work with the radio upgrade.
    Also I think I saw a TPMS add on/plug in on their website.
    Lastly, did you have to get an Airplay/Apple accessory? or was it plug and play?

    • @hypnotikgenius
      @hypnotikgenius  3 года назад +1

      The guides are still there, and even turn with the steering wheel, but it's unreliable in terms of precision. As for the TPMS. I saw that option too, but didn't feel it was worth the extra expense since the warning light still comes on with low pressure. Finally, the 9.1 Android version I bought has built-in CarPlay, so nothing additional was necessary. Hope this helps!

      I have a theory about this, and I think that it’s not actually dimmer than the stock unit, but rather it doesn’t have a cowl covering because of its size. That’s why it seems dimmer and with more glare. There’s nothing I have come up with for a solution, unfortunately and it can be deceptive when using the reverse camera.

However, there are many different settings to get it to sound crisp with the music you listen to (pop and rock music should use different settings). This is true of all radios, so nothing stands out as inferior to the stock system. As for the picture and startup screen, *sigh*, I did it, by accident.
