Agreed! I'm gonna keep trying stuff and sharing what works! Stay tuned and thanks for ur support!!

@@SquareWheelsAuto 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Hey I'm about to order mine and wondering if you got it installed?

Glad to hear it man!!! It's comments like these that keep me going!!! And thx for the beers!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

LoL it never ends!! Seriously though, wait a week or so to decide if u really need the Sergey firmware. AUCar has updated their stock firmware in November, it's pretty snappy now 🤔

Wow ok Thanks for being so honest

Glad to hear it!!! Do u find the MK5 to be a lot smoother?? I'm pumped you're doing all this stuff!!!! Lemme know how the relays/underglow go!

@@SquareWheelsAuto It's great bro thanks for the info,

I was trying to set up my under glow lights to my break systems because it's Illegal in PA to drive around bro..

Blueghozt is a game changer man I'm considering getting another!!! Thx for the support Tristan!

Thx man, it's never done! If anyone knows that, it's you! 😅

Thx homie, u the 🐐, u blazed the trail with the first MK5 Sergey install! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏾🙌🏾

Thx for the shout Josh! I'm just learning and sharing as I go!

I can only speak of my experience, but I literally NEVER have to reboot this thing unless I'm changing system settings. Disclaimer: I do have the Sergey firmware which optimizes some stuff. But even before that, mandatory reboots weren't a thing for me.

Hey AuCar said they're reaching out to you and may need to send you a patch. Lemme know how it works for you!

@@SquareWheelsAuto Thanks, will be looking for their email and keep you updated.

thx I think so too! its krotov's - their whole Q50 widebody kit is 🔥🔥

@@SquareWheelsAuto haha yeah I know I have mine installed. I sold you the duckbill 😂

​😅@@trple4_ lmfao what up josh didnt recognize your handle

@@SquareWheelsAuto hahaha yeah it’s my internet/ gaming handle

Does it fit a 2019 Infiniti Q50?

Still waiting on the prototype... At this rate it may be summer 😮‍💨

Definitely. It’s the first thing I do when I get in! 😅

Thanks for sharing, thats interesting! My OS version date was April 3 2021. Please share if you have a later ver.

@@SquareWheelsAuto I wish I could post a screen shot here but the date stamp on OS says Nov 16, 2021 with appver 20211126. RL7AC WYDE008. I literally have no lag I can detect. And my 360 camera on 2019 q50 sport worked fine from day one. I’m wondering if they did some major patching? I actually paid for Sergey firmware but I haven’t installed it since it’s working perfectly fine for me, and don’t want the firmware to change any of this…have you heard anything on this updated version from aucar?

@@bjj5746 ​ I haven't, but I do know they did a patch to fix the camera button on the 2018 redsports. There's a good chance they bundled lots of tweaks/fixes in with that patch thats shipping on all the new devices. I wouldn't worry about the sergey firmware making things worse - that would be the first I'd heard of that happening. Thanks again for your comment - that's awesome insight and really good to hear!

Pretty sure u need to use the MK5's USB

Idk if the Sergey firmware will help you, but he's still accepting orders from SquareWheelsAuto.com

Yep talked to him this evening, he and his family are OK, but the new sanctions have cost of living ballooning over there. You should be fine to order and I'm sure he'd appreciate it 😅

@@SquareWheelsAuto awesome thank you!

Try 8861

Found it! Thanks

Yep 💯

It's true, there's a new one coming (that listing has been up for a few months now). It's not ready for market release yet - the pricing on the listing is intentionally exorbitant to deter pre-release sales. They're getting close to having a prototype for me to test. Rest assured y'all will know as soon as I do. Stay tuned!

Not sure. I know the cars within the themes are configurable, but I'm not sure if the icon files are in accessible filesystem - you'd have to ask Sergey to be sure!

Anyone with a Phillips head screwdriver, it's really easy (I documented the installation here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f9OhqpqgxpnNqnk.html ) Not necessary to take it to a pro, but any shop that installs head units or stereos could do it easily

Totally feasible. Not for me personally, I just want my music started so I can get rolling haha

There's a nuance specifically with ONLY that year/model's camera button that AUCar resolves with a software patch before sending out.

Yup just a different app - Headunit Reloaded for those wondering. Thx Darnell 🙌

Check out their site, they have a special option now for the 18 redsports. Also check if my coupon code (SQUAREWHEELS) still works, it'll save u $50

@@SquareWheelsAuto I saw that on their site so I emailed them. In their reply, they told me to hold off. This was about 2 weeks ago or so.

@@BlaQBetty2018 hmm mebbe check with em on chat again to be sure, but I've seen 18RS guys in the forums that confirmed that unit worked for em 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

@@BlaQBetty2018 saying hold off for 2 weeks may have more to do with delaying in shipping. I ordered my Mk5 13th July and it was ready for shipping on 16th July, but DHL have not been able to ship anything because of flooding in the area they tell me. Just had an update, DHL are shipping again from Wednesday 4th.

@@SquareWheelsAuto I had a mark 5 return for a refund because of the 360 camera 2018 red sport they still haven't fixed the problem .I f they fix that problem it would be a great product very high quality

I only use the USB in the armrest! Have u tried AUCar support? They're pretty responsive

@@SquareWheelsAuto I'm working with them now. Seeing if they can swap out the unit for me. They sent me a link to reinstall zlink. Still had problems. Also having issues with audio. Intouch works good but audio fades to the front right speakers on and off. Everything's installed correctly.

1) in settings, there's an option for 'HD Display' - disable that to make AA fullscreen 2) no i've never used the plugs behind the radio. I use the included usb cables (routed them to my armrest), and they work fine for android auto, firmware updates, and playing downloaded music/videos

Sorry which headlight signals???

eBay!

Hold the power button at the top for a soft reboot, or hold the home button for ~10s for a hard reset.

Reach out to Sergey if you suspect the firmware may be causing it. My carplay works great with the Sergey firmware 🤙🏽

@@SquareWheelsAuto thanks I emailed him a bit ago! It works faster and it works fine when wired but wireless is really buggy but hopefully there’s a quick fix !

Make sure your car is set to AUX source. That's how the mk5 gets audio out through the speakers. If that doesn't work, hit me at support@squarewheelsauto.com for support (include your order num in subject line)

@@SquareWheelsAuto I

I double checked and the Aux is selected, still no luck I just emailed you

Génial!! Content de l'entendre ! Pour le son, accédez à InTouch et assurez-vous que votre source est réglée sur Aux. Si cela ne fonctionne pas, vous devrez peut-être vérifier vos connexions

@@SquareWheelsAuto bonjour oui je viens de vérifier il y avait une connectique de débrancher ca marche nickel encore merci pour vos conseils à bientôt et vive infiniti

I asked in the request form. Thanks!

Did u get an answer? I think someone else asked this question too so it'd be good to know

@@SquareWheelsAuto Yes, sorry for not following back up. They sent it on Wednesday so it will be here on Monday. All is good. I am also in communication with Sergey, so once I get the hardware installed I am going to just straight up install the new firmware and I also asked for root access so i can install "setcpu" and play with the cpu performance.

@@cbanchs thanks man great to hear it! Now I’m gonna go google setcpu 🤣🤣🤣 Have a great weekend

@@SquareWheelsAuto So Update from my side. I finally got the screen in and installed it. I also went ahead and connected a little fan on the heatsink and do not have any slowdown issues at all. I connected the small USB fan to one of the two USB cables they provide. I can use my internal GPS as well and the 360 video works(ugly though cause of the 480p cameras). I split screened youtube and maps at the same time with no issues and very little lag , even after using it for 20 mins. I also talked to Sergey and he will provide a way to root his ROM once I get it from him so I expect the screen to be close to perfect with no lag. I think the fan is making the difference as it dissipates the heat very well and the cpu does not slow down to avoid overheating. I am going to use the stock ROM for a few days just to make sure things continue to work before I get Sergey's ROM. Thanks again for getting this in front of all us, it definitely makes the car way better. Also, my SirusXM works great!

hmm good question not aware of anything like that. It is just an android device so you could temporarily enable the screen lock - it should be in settings -> more settings

@@SquareWheelsAuto I found it. Is there a way to make AA full screen?

@@ThatguyLoso120 try headunit reloaded app for AA instead of zlink

Firmware has little to do with CarPlay. Carplay is enabled by an app, like the Zlink app u mentioned

@@SquareWheelsAuto Thanks man 🙏🏻😅

Thanks for your service!!! Check out my install video (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f9OhqpqgxpnNqnk.html) and dont hesitate to ask any questions if u get stuck.

First and foremost you're welcomed. Moreover, I don't know how this works but I'm old-school is it at all posible to give me a call? Or it doesn't work that way?

@@SquareWheelsAuto The installation is not the problem your vid on it was extremely helpful and on point I'm just trying to learn how to navigate through all the bells and Whistles.

@@deeemmanuel9831 Ah I gotcha - shoot me an email square@square-built.com - I'm no expert but I dont mind jumping on a call!

It's only been a week or so, but it has been 100% stable - no issues to report!

@@SquareWheelsAuto cool cool. I'm in the same boat as the people that were dealing with the issues in China with the floods and whatnot. So I have been waiting for mine for nearly a month ended up canceling my order but I'll likely reorder in the future, but as of now I'm just working on other stuff with the car. Question, does this resolve the other issue you were experiencing with the stock firmware as far as the reverse lines in the camera?

@@LateKnightGamingTV damn sorry man hope u get back in the game soon! If it's much longer u might consider just waiting for the next iteration in a couple months! Before the Sergey firmware I found the settings for the guidelines. I can either have the factory guidelines that move with the steering wheel, or the units guidelines which are static. The Sergey firmware allows you to modify the guidelines (angle/length, etc) and add a line for trailers.

@@SquareWheelsAuto just got mines in and some features doesn't work. Menu button on steering wheel on skips Bluetooth music, voice button doesn't work on steering wheel. Dual know on center console only works as volume, camera button works sometimes. When is the newer unit coming out? Might just return or sell the unit and just wait but overall it's not bad and way better than the stock

Update...everything works now

www.dropbox.com/s/djuued76545mzmi/zlink-wla-a-zhuoxw-release-v4.0.10_jg.apk?dl=0 put that on a USB drive, plug it in and install

@@SquareWheelsAuto you use zlink for AA or HUR? I downloaded the apk for full screen AA on zlink but nothing changed

@@ThatguyLoso120 I don’t use AA regularly, I just set it up to confirm it works. Personally I’ve found the zlink app to be horrible. When I tested HUR, full screen AA worked, both wired and wireless

Really not sure man I’ve heard as early as November, and as far out as mid/late 2022. All speculation from vendors/resellers, nothing official from the actual manufacturer.

What new unit ?

@@AG-oi9uj I heard they were coming out with a new Tesla screen with more ram and processing power.

I think they got the message. Stay tuned, word has it a new version is coming soon.

LoL game recognize game I'm no fanboy tho!!

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hZiZl7140q6ulKM.html

This can only be done once you upload the Sergey firmware

@@deeemmanuel9831 correct

I am not so tech savvy I have completed the first part the last part of it has been challenging to say the least

we followed the instructions,we copied the .ans file over to the flash drive, music player is default, we put the code in and music started up. however when we detach and attached the flash drive, nothing happens. We dont get the install pop up on screen What do you suggest?

Lemme investigate - I can see u submitted Aug 7

Thanks bro

Also, have you gotten any release updates about the new Tesla screen ?

@@MrDucktape2201 Not really. Still just vague claims, with ETA of 1-6 months.

Gm any news of the new firmware update yet?

Yeah check my other videos for overviews of the unit and how to buy it. But yes it supports apple carplay, both wired and wirelessly

@@SquareWheelsAuto One more thing, will the Q50's original nav still work with the Mark 5?

Yeah you can still access it, but nav on the unit (Waze or Google maps) is 10000% times better than OEM nav in my opinion

I know; I was just wondering. I am going to pick up a used Q50 maybe a 14 or 15 and was looking at ways to add Apple Car play. I was going to get the JoeAuto way, but came across your video and it seems that the Tesla screen is a much better and easier solution to implement.

For sure. Check out my other top screen video. I've had the joyeauto and the smartautokits before this unit. I can definitely say AVOID the joyeauto. This and the smartautokits are solid options 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Funny that's what you extracted. I'm actually an avid Android user, and I've been a PC user, builder and coder since we had to clear our own TSRs. I also firmly believe that complacency kills innovation - as customers, we should demand the best, and give feedback when expectations aren't met, so OEMs know exactly what 'make it better' means

P.S. most other items (tablets and din units with fold out screens) that use this SoC are priced around $200-$250. You can by the SoC itself for around $40 wholesale and about $95 as a consumer. It makes you wonder just exactly why the AuCar Mark 5 costs $800+.

Agreed, clearly underwhelming hardware. Appears you've identified a huge opportunity in the market that nobody seems to have filled! Grab the latest and greatest hardware, do the R&D it takes to integrate it with a specific vehicle's functions/telemetry/etc and price it better! I'd def buy it.

I mean, its a car headunit. You really dont need it to be able to game or run super fast. If you want that then go with an ipad dash setup. Its an inexpensive and tried and true board. As long as it can receive and play radio and run Maps, it is doing 99% of what it needs to. My phone is for everything else I would need to do👍

​@@Luckingsworth the reason you need a faster processor is due to the low quality coders who cant write efficient code to save their asses. thats why theyre coding for an alibaba head unit instead of somewhere else, they just arent any good at it.
