Well guys I went back to factory. I couldn't stand it. Too many issues and not enough advantages to outweigh them. On top of that, terrible response times from customer service.
*Factory backup camera never worked with the unit and caused static through the speakers
*GPS never worked even with the Waze app downloaded and all updates completed.
*USB flash drive would only read half the time. I'd have to shut my car off and start it again to work sometimes
*If I was watching a movie and put the car in park the movie would shut off and the factory default video would start playing. I discovered that this was happening because of the car going into reverse on the way to park. The workaround was to put the car in neutral shut the car off and then put it in park so the movie would save the last spot.
*Torque app would not connect through bluetooth
*Clock kept changing from PM to AM
*Would never save default video player. I had to select it every time I started a movie or music video.
*Bluetooth phone calls. No one could hear me talk. Sometimes even if I yelled. I was cutting out a lot.
There were many more odd quirks about it but I can't remember them all. Point is...the only gain I made was the ability to play video but I lost a lot of other features. Wasn't worth it. I'm sending mine back. Customer service keeps sending me emails back to my inquiries asking me to call their number. I can never get anyone to pick up though. Weird as **** and pissed me off. I'm over it. I'm back to factory and happy again.

Well that sounds like a disaster. I guess I will skip this mod.
Has anyone who has these things installed have the TORQUE (or similar) app installed and, if so, does it work?
I ask only because I am in the process of building a harness for a side project (not this) that requires me to tap into both the CAN-BUS and AV COMM circuits and I am curious if this 3rd party piece of hardware (and app software) works as intended with the cars CAN systems.
Thanks, in advance!

Has anybody successfully installed this on a 2013 sedan without major issues?
Yeah, I installed successfully on a ‘13 G37xS Sedan. For the most part it was plug and play, however I did have to splice in a step down converter to get the OEM backup camera to work
FYI I took advantage of the sale that Phoenix has going on and got the new 6 core processor screen. We will see how long it takes to get in. As soon as I get it though it's going back out to Mazterpiece Automotive to get wrapped in carbon fiber along with my other interior trim pieces.
How do you like the Tesla screen?So how do you like the screen so far I really w
So how do you like the screen so far I really want to order one, I want the WiFi feature and I want to be able to watch movies on there how do I know which one to get?
Just ordered my screen from Asvegen, I was thinking we should have a sticky thread for the new screen. Just drop features perks and things we could add.
Things we could add to the thread would be most of the stuff from the facebook group like changing the car displayed, adding car play, etc. Also how to wire the backup camera since it seems like that’s not ready.
Screen is plug and play for Non Navi right now if anyone wants one you can contact Asvegen on Alibaba.com and tell them you wanna pay $550 shipped like I did, they’ll accept. With the fees it’s around 570.

What factory features do you have? Do you have Navigation, Bose, and Backup Camera?
I have a 2011 G37xS coupe with Navigation, Bose, and Backup Camera. I bought a step-down converter and just needing to know what wires splice into.
