Excellent video and demonstration 👍🏾👍🏾

Thank you

[@jamesdelgado2009]

I love my 2014 GS 450h. It has all the options, is fast enough for me, gets great gas mileage, and hasn't been in the shop even once. What's not to love?!

[@BeatSonicUS]

Awesome!

[@angelocontreras2636]

I really want this car, for me it looks like a perfect daily

[@BeatSonicUS]

It really is!

[@Nick-qj4su]

Love my 2014, only downside is the mpg and the break squeak I get when first moving the car after sitting. I’m told it’s surface rust on the rotors and fine but it’s annoying

[@BeatSonicUS]

@@Nick-qj4su new pads and rotors should help!

[@goldencosmonaut]

Got a 2015 about 8 months ago with 40k miles, I’m at 51k now and it’s been amazing, I work at lexus so maintenance is very cheap 👌🏻 very comfy, I only wish it had just a tad bit more zip to match Infiniti’s

[@goldencosmonaut]

@@Nick-qj4su Common problems I usually see are brake noise from surface rust, totally normal. Wheel bearings and sometimes headlight malfunctions

question is yrs 3rd party install mines is a 3rd party install from previous owner of car when I bought the car owner connected it up for me. many months ago I disconnected my phone from it as it was peeing me off connecting to apply car play everytime I turned car on to drive it. I reconnected it but for love nor money I can’t get my phone to play sound to the car via the Apple car play. I’ve tried everything I can think of wife connected, Bluetooth connected etc. It also mirrors from my phone to the car but again stood no sound? I have everything paired up. What am I doing wrong? I have a 2012 450h gs

[@BeatSonicUS]

1. Find out what was installed from the previous owner and who installed it. 2. Contact the installer or the manufacturer for troubleshooting

[@husbeard]

If this was your own car, wouldn't you have routed the USB/Lightning cable down into the middle console?

[@richhwang]

Just installed in my 2014 GS 350 F Sport and noticed that the video will sometimes turn slightly fuzzy around the edges and in order to correct it, i have to long hold the map to turn off carplay and then long hold to turn it on again for the video to be clear and stable. It also appears that the video is slightly stretched taller in dimension. Anyone else these issues? Ended up not using the noise loop that was included as it would make static noise if moved as the 3.5 jack was not secure.

[@BeatSonicUS]

Hi Richard, Please take a video of the slightly fuzzy video image to us at [e-mail]. The slightly stretch is to utilize the entire screen of the GS without having any empty black areas. Noise Loop isolator is not required but recommended as you may hear a faint high pitched noise when volume is really loud. You may secure the 3.5mm connections with an electric tape.

[@richhwang]

Looks like the edge issue was related to my div switch being in 5 instead of 5 and 6. I will put the noise isolator back as I did hear the loud pop. The volume seems lower than stock radio and confirmed that the setting is at 56 - when going from SAT to AV for CarPlay the volume is much lower.

[@BeatSonicUS]

Yes, please try dip switch 5 and 6. Unfortunately the pop noise will remain when you turn on your vehicle in A/V mode. The volume on A/V mode is adjusted independently than you other sources, please make the adjustment accordingly.

[@richhwang]

It’s been some months but I still get the fuzzy edges and the color is off now - I’m okay with pop sound sound as I have gotten used to it m. Is there another firmware update that have corrected issues like this?
