CarPlay Installed on 2014 Infiniti QX60

I purchased the UNAVI system with installation for my 2014 Infiniti QX60 and I could not be happier. Makes the road trips with my kids so much more enjoyable. The hands free CarPlay system is a life saver.

Solid Upgrade to GS 350

Why my Lexus GS 350 did not come with CarPlay is beyond me. Either way, now I have it thanks to UNAVI. It took a couple of calls with the support team to get everything set up. They were great and very patient. Now it’s working flawlessly and I feel like I’m finally back in the 21st-century.

Highly recommend!

Pathfinder 2017 CarPlay

Honestly, if you got the money and want the upgrade that badly but want to keep your stock look then this is the upgrade for you.
Is it in my opinion overpriced for what it provides? Yes.
Does it do exactly as it describes? Yes
Is it a super easy install? Yes
It took me maybe an hour and 15 minutes to do the tear down/install/rebuild of my dash and radio.

I’ll be honest, If there was a way we could use some form of streaming platform while in park or just driving so we can occasionally glance while on a long drive such as YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Etc. then I’d give this a higher rating. That is at no fault of this company though. There are rules and regulations and the CarPlay functionality is to lessen the distracted drivers.

Anyways my whole point of saying all of this is that I’ve had my board installed for about a week now and love it so far. Wasn’t super happy to pay the price that this costs but I also wasn’t happy to find out that I didn’t have CarPlay capabilities on a car that is only 7 years old.

Hi Tyler,
Thank you for your feedback; we really appreciate letting us know your thoughts. It goes a long way in helping a small business like ours provide the best service possible.

Unavi Team

Unavi QX50 2019 + i-knpb

I-knob is working well as I expected. All buttons/functions (map + camera, rotating, back button ect.) are working excellent. I had to learn and get used to a bit to the operation (2s clicking of back button) but now everything is FINE. Fully recommend this ad-on. It significantly improves the work of Android Auto (Infiniti QX50 2019)

Unavi QX50 2019 + i-knpb

I installed the UNAVi Android Auto system in my 2019 Infiniti QX50 by myself, and it wasn't complicated.
The installation instructions were very clear and intuitive. I only had a small issue with the factory-installed Telematic system, which was mounted on the rail where the Unavi system needed to be placed. I repositioned the Telematic system, placing it behind the lower panel and the rail.
All connectors fit perfectly, the cable quality is excellent, and the kit includes noise-dampening foam. The video tutorial is slightly outdated, so I recommend using the illustrated manual.
Don’t worry about the single free cable from the speaker USB wire—it all works correctly. The speakers and microphone function properly. The system connects both via cable and wirelessly.
As for connecting the i-knob, it’s a very intuitive and straightforward process. Control using the knob is accurate and intuitive, with full functionality.
Just remember not to be connected to your home Wi-Fi, as this could cause issues with wireless connection. Tested with a Samsung Galaxy S23+, Android 14.
I'm happy and proud with my Infiniti QX50 and modern AA system :) Thank you UNAVi. I recommend this tool to everyone who wants to upgrade factory system.

Great Upgrade for my Car - Infiniti JX35

Love it! It brought new life to my aging infotainment unit, and works flawlessly, like OEM :)

Great work thank you

2016 Cadillac SRX CarPlay & Android Auto Upgrade Module + Screen Replacement

I bought the upgrade module and touch screen replacement kit for my 2016 Cadillac SRX. The car is "new" to me, but lacking Android Auto and had a non-responsive spot in the CUE touch screen. So I read about a lot of options online and the UNAVI solution appeared to have the best integration options without losing any of the factory features. I installed both myself. The whole process took me about an afternoon. The screen is pretty good quality, but the gasket is clearly not as nice as the OEM seal. It does work great and it is a totally acceptable replacement to the factory screen. So perfect marks. The module upgrade is a great kit. All of the connections mate up perfectly with the factory harnesses and provide extra play in the cables for easier relocation. This 2016 SRX application is a SUPER TIGHT FIT and I was only able to squeeze the module through the holes behind the main unit given the cable length provided. For this application it would be awesome to have longer cables so we could mount the module behind the glove box. Otherwise, everything did plug in perfectly and functionality was perfect. The only functional "glitch" is that bluetooth connectivity takes some troubleshooting. This is mostly because my devices have many bluetooth connections. It works best when you turn off all bluetooth connections to your phone while getting this unit up and running. After that, everything is working flawlessly. This upgrade really makes the vehicle feel more modern and it is so much nicer to operate. One other feature that would be very nice is if you made a harness so that we could bypass and remove the factory CD player. There is no use for this brick other than to leave speaker functionality intact. If we could remove the CD player, there is tons of room to install the module and it would have been a 30 minute job to install the whole thing!!! Nice work, UNAVI.

Hello GJ, we are glad to hear our product has met your Android Auto needs! We will take note of all of your suggestions. Also, we would like to check the Bluetooth connectivity issue you have as it may just require reconnecting to Bluetooth properly and you wouldn't need to turn off your other Bluetooth connections. Thank you again for your kind words and detailed review!

JX35 Install

Installed it myself in my 2013 JX35. Was not difficult, although I seem to be missing a cable. My car has the factory AV jacks in the arm rest, so according to the video instructions, there should have been a G-AUX Cable that has connects to the back of the factory radio. This cable allows music like spotify to play through the factory speakers while in Carplay. The cable that came with my unit, did not plug into the back of the radio, only into the carplay unit. Everything works, but I cant play music through carplay. I will be contacting support to get this cable.

Hello Mike, our techs will reach out to you about your concern if you haven't already. The G AUX cable is no longer part of our kits. We will let you know about the updated instructions in the kit. We appreciate your time and for supporting our small business!

EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE, GREAT PRODUCT QUALITY

EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE, GREAT PRODUCT QUALITY

Great Easy installation

It was an easy installation, it was harder to get the Bluetooth connected than anything else. It works great and it makes easy transition from your phone to the vehicle. It is a shame that Cadillac did not have Apple CarPlay as standard option. I still have the option to maintain my normal controls and it allows me the option to keep the car as a stick options which I love. GREAT PRODUCT!! Would highly recommend. The install video might need some clarification but other than that it’s a great product!

Hi Nabil,
Thank you so much for your honest review! We're glad to hear that the installation was easy and that the product is working great for you. We totally understand your frustration with the Bluetooth connection—it can sometimes be a little tricky, but we're glad it all came together in the end. We also appreciate your feedback about the installation video; we'll take that into consideration to make sure it's even clearer for future customers. We're happy that the product allows you to enjoy your Cadillac with the added convenience of Apple CarPlay while keeping your preferred controls intact. Thanks again for your recommendation. We're so glad you're enjoying your new setup, and we hope it continues to enhance your driving experience!

Nice update radio kit

I purchased this kit for my 2015 QX 80. I previously drove a 2007 Lexus GX 470 which I had to also upgrade the radio for Apple Play as well so I have been through a few iterations of kits. The install was easy enough, handed the box to my husband and he did it with zero issues. The set up was fairly straightforward to connect my phone, and it now automatically connects when I get in the truck. My only gripe is switching back to the truck system when adjusting the heat or using the other systems. Not a deal breaker but it would be cool not to toggle between systems.

Hello Morgan,
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're happy to hear that the installation was easy and that your Apple CarPlay setup is working smoothly.

Regarding the need to toggle between CarPlay and the factory infotainment system, this is actually a design feature intended to ensure stability and seamless operation of both systems. While we understand that switching back and forth can be a bit of an inconvenience when adjusting vehicle settings, this approach helps maintain reliable performance overall. We truly appreciate your input and are always looking for ways to improve the experience.

Thanks again for your review, and we hope you continue to enjoy using Apple CarPlay in your 2015 QX80!

Infiniti Q70

Great product! I was initially skeptical because I thought parts were missing but, I found out that the system was updated to no longer need those parts and was able to get it completely installed. I found the installation video pretty bad. I was a professional installer for many years and in this particular installation they were tucking the module behind a carpet was a disappointing. I ended up finding space under the driver's side dashboard and installing a mount to install the module. That way, there is airflow for the module itself and it's easy to get to for service if I needed to service it.
Overall, I am very impressed with the integration into my OEM system. It feels as though it was always that way. I haven't had any technical issues after a week so, I'm hoping it stays that way! If anything out of the ordinary happens, I'll make sure I update here!
5 Stars to the Korean tech support team also. They answered me when the regular tech support didn't I commend them for helping me figure out that certain parts were no longer needed and I could proceed with my installation!

Wow, Marc, thank you so much for the glowing review! 😊 We're absolutely thrilled to hear that you’re happy with the integration and overall performance of the product, even after some initial skepticism. It sounds like you really went above and beyond with the installation and found a fantastic solution that worked best for your vehicle – great thinking on that under-dashboard mount!

We're also super glad our Korean tech support team could help you out when needed, and we’re grateful you took the time to recognize their efforts. Your feedback on the installation video is also really valuable – we’ll definitely look into making improvements for future guides.

Thanks again for your 5-star review and for sharing your experience in such detail! We hope everything continues to run smoothly, but if anything comes up, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help!

Again thank you for your business and safe travels with your Infiniti Q70!

Worth the price. It works great.

I didn’t want to replace the factory radio with another one that would require an adapter and change the original factory look. This was a great solution for my Nissan Pathfinder. Installation using YouTube videos for guidance made it easy. I now have CarPlay and Android Auto working flawlessly. I can use the GPS from my phone rather than the one built into the car which isn’t as good. Happy and satisfied with this purchase.

Range Rover Apple CarPlay

Just wanted to thank you! I am really impressed with your product and customer support! I put this in myself and was amazed how easy it was to install into my Range Rover HSE by simply following the video. Keep doing what you all are doing and will be enjoying my new Apple CarPlay!

Great service

I had an issue with my car stereo 2 years after I bought it. Basically, the audio started skipping instead of playing properly. I messaged the team and I found them very responsive. Originally, they suggested the wrong fix but together we got it figured out and they refunded me some of the money for the additional part. I appreciate actually being able to connect with someone who solves my problem and doesn't give me the run around.

Apple CarPlay....Finally!

We worked with David at Sound Xpression Audio in Tucson, Arizona. He was extremely knowledgable and easy to work with. The Unavi unit works perfectly. Not exactly like Apple CarPlay in new cars, but so happy to have it in my 2015 Audi Q5. David finished the install sooner than expected and showed us how to use the system. So happy we found out about this item.

Outstanding product and service!

I followed the video guide for my 2017 Lexus CT and it was easy to install on my own! I’m so happy having CarPlay in my car now.

Game Changer for a 10 year old Mini Cooper

I love my car but really missed Apple Car Play integration. There are few things as annoying as your car playing the first alphabetical song in your play list every time you get in the car. This is solved by Apple Car Play and the integrated navigation is next level. The install was complex but the support from Unavi was excellent. It was responsive and helpful and the guided me through any issues. If you are on the fence, you should make the jump!

Update to previous review

There was a minor issue with the installer not getting in touch initially but that was only because he was out of the country at the time. He got back to me as soon as he returned apologizing profusely for the delay. He was on time on the day of the installation and was very professional and courteous. The unit works nicely in my 2015 Mercedes Gl 550 and I am very pleased.

Outstanding and Flawless Apple Car Play for QX56

This UNAVI Apple Car Play and Android Auto upgrade is amazing and works flawlessly with my existing Audio/Navigation system for my Infiniti QX56.

Awesome, simple upgrade!

The UNAVI CarPlay module was easy to install and truly is a plug and play unit. I couldn’t be happier or more amazed by this upgrade!!

2015 Nissan Pathfinder

Absolutely love this device! Having Apple Cat Play is a game changer! Install was super easy as I followed along with YouTube videos. Truly a fantastic device! Thanks UNAVI!!

Wonderful product, works as advertised.

I am greatful for this product because cartoys gave me a quote of $2500 for a similar.

I received the product right on time, the installer was professional and I love the car play very well.

I highly recommend this carplay, it works great and the best part is that it has wireless capabilities.
