This is quick guide on what parts are needed to upgrade a 2010-2015 G37, Q40, or Q60 to a 2010-2015 NAVIGATION System w/BOSE.

Only four NAV parts are required for the conversion:
(1) Touch Screen Display (2) Control Panel for Display (3) Faceplate / Climate Panel (4) NAV Unit / Radio Receiver

Cars with BOSE Audio Systems only require those parts.
Cars with Base Audio Systems require all those parts plus the addition of a suitable amplifier to power the car speakers.
Base Audio cars without a factory rear camera should also install a microphone for voice communication.

With the correct parts all you need is to either purchase a Harness Adapter Kit such as this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/333982567715

Or Get a Factory Harness From a 2010-15 NAV Vehicle, and then pin-out, cut, & splice the connectors to your existing harness, using the FSM wiring diagrams as a reference. In some cases, additional wiring (like for the microphone) would also need to be fabricated.

And that's all there is to it.
Everything can then be installed like it came from the factory. Get the parts you need, adapt the wiring and away you go! Updated Nav, Bluetooth, Display, etc.

Hope that helps.
