Little Upgrade to Center Interface

So this past week I was thinking about how I can get more out of my g37 screen since you are pretty limited to what you could do. I also had a budget because all after market ones cost around 4/600$. So what I ended up doing is I went on offer up and bought an apple tv for 20$ and hooked it up to the car. I also wanted the car looking as OEM as possible so you can’t even tell where I have it installed and there are absolutely no visable wires. If anyone is interested in this install let me know and i’ll do a follow up thread. I spent around 60$ in total.

Very Smooth Install

I’m interested in more info on how you did the install. Looks nice; did you have navigation before, or is that an app that you downloaded?

Also, noticed you’re listening to Lauren Daigle. Great singer/great album!

Yes thank you. The map on screen is just the apple maps that I mirrored on to the display since the apple tv has that screen mirroring feature. I’ll write up what and how I put everything together tmr!
