Infiniti G35 G37 CarPlay upgrades are a smarter answer for drivers who are tired of expensive factory navigation updates. Many Infiniti G35, G37, Q50 and Q60 owners still like the original dashboard design, but the old navigation system can feel slow, limited and costly to keep current.
Instead of paying again for map updates, many owners now prefer wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. With the right AutoMMI decoder module, selected Infiniti factory-screen vehicles can gain modern phone apps while keeping the OEM screen and original head unit in place.
Therefore, this upgrade is not only about adding a new feature. It gives older Infiniti models a more useful daily-driving interface without changing the cabin into an aftermarket stereo project.
Why Old Infiniti Navigation Feels Outdated
Factory navigation was useful when these Infiniti models were new. However, older map databases often miss new roads, updated traffic patterns and modern search behavior. In addition, factory map updates can cost far more than many owners expect.
Even after an update, the original navigation interface still cannot match the speed and convenience of Apple Maps, Google Maps or Waze. Drivers also miss easy access to music apps, voice assistants, messages and hands-free calling from the phone ecosystem they already use every day.
As a result, an Infiniti CarPlay retrofit usually delivers more value than another old-style navigation update.
Why CarPlay Is Better Than Another Map Update
Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto keep navigation fresh because your phone handles the apps. You can use live route search, real-time traffic, updated map data and familiar music apps without relying on an outdated factory map disc or dealer update.
For Infiniti G35 and G37 owners, this makes daily driving feel more modern. For Q50 and Q60 owners, it adds the smartphone interface many drivers expect from a newer luxury car. Meanwhile, the factory screen remains part of the dashboard, so the cabin still looks original.
Keep the Factory Infiniti Screen
The AutoMMI approach is different from installing a universal aftermarket stereo. The decoder module works with compatible Infiniti factory-screen systems, so the OEM display and original head unit stay in the vehicle.
This matters because Infiniti interiors rely heavily on the original screen, button layout and center console design. By keeping the factory system, the upgrade looks cleaner and feels more natural. In addition, steering wheel controls, reverse camera and factory audio functions can remain available where the vehicle supports them.
Which Infiniti Models Can Be Checked
Infiniti used different screens, controllers and head unit versions across model years and markets. Therefore, the correct version must be confirmed before shipping. The main search models should stay visible in the title and first paragraph, while the wider model list can appear in the body.
Primary Models
- Infiniti G35 factory-screen models
- Infiniti G37 factory-screen models

- Infiniti Q60 factory-screen models
Other Related Infiniti Models

However, do not choose only by model name. A center-screen photo, controller photo and VIN help AutoMMI confirm whether your vehicle uses a compatible screen system and which decoder version is correct.

Upgrade the Screen You Already Have
For many Infiniti owners, the best upgrade is not a new stereo. It is a cleaner way to make the factory screen useful again. With an AutoMMI decoder module, selected G35, G37, Q50, Q60 and related Infiniti models can add wireless CarPlay and Android Auto while preserving the original cabin design.
