Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

[Pac]

Hey Team , just got the Fujitsubo unit installed , not a big db difference but it does sound better across the rpm range , I have the front pipe on order I'll post a video with sounds when that has also been installed.

[Pac]

Ducan , yeah sure mate , the unit is https://www.carlinkit.com/ambient

TBox Ambient -  plugs straight into the USB C and it runs as a android  unit and you can link your phone to it via Bluetooth , but it only allows for one phone at a time.

you can download and apk files you want and load it on there , I downloaded a basic maps apk (OsmAnd+ — Maps & GPS Offline) so I can run navigation without data usage , its not as good at google or wazes but it works fine for what I need.

I can put up screen shots if you like.

Cheers Pac

Thanks for the link.....but I'm still not totally understanding (a bit slow).

So as long as the host unit supports carplay or android auto, you plug the unit to a USB C port, and then change the AV source? 

Does the unit run its own apps (eg I could run Real Dash or Torque etc) or does it rely on a host phone and just run Android Auto from the phone (which is very limited compared to full Android?).

And, does the touch screen work for the apps? Only the bottom screen or the top screen as well?

The 4g wifi looks like a good feature if you have kids with devices in the car (noting none of the versions seem to support 700mhz Telstra)

[Pac]

Ducan , it basically  coverts the convert the top screen to a android tablet (not the bottom one - but you have to clink to the android auto or apple car play icon on the bottom screen to get it started ) , you can Bluetooth your phone to it and it creates a shortcut for you to switch to full android auto or apple car play if you need it , or you can add a mobile data sim to you and then you can run 4g while driving around .

Team , quick update on the 400r , Fujitsubo front pipe unit is installed (wasn't able to get a picture of it , the exhaust guys installed it really quick and it was out before I got back to the workshop - but I have attached another picture which shows what it looks like)and I have updated the badges to the latest model which makes it look a little nicer.

Sounds good....do you have a dyno run for it?

Also, sounds like you should get an Ecutek tune shortly to make the most of the hard changes.

Duncan , the plan is to get the down pipes done then I book it in for the full tune . Most likely late May , that's the plan.
