I added the GPS antena right on top of the CD tray in case anyone is wondering where to put it. The 4g antennas and sim card tray same as ROB. A huge THANKS to Rob for these videos. Super helpful. Installed in just under a few hours (would have been even quicker if it didn't start raining and then there was beer).

[@kamzu8165]

I was able to get the 4G sim card tray and the USB connectors into the glove box. I had to use a fishing stick (the kind you use for in wall wire installs) and stick it in sideways. Removing the glove compartment box (the screws that hold the entire glove compartment assembly) helped a lot in getting the cables routed there.

My Mark 6 for my Infiniti 2020 Q50 is working fine with the exception of there is still no sound or volume when I play through the Android side of the Mark 6. When I play music through my AM, FM or XM Radio it plays fine. When I play a KZbin video it plays fine but without music or sound. When I go back to the screen to check my input selection it has automatically moved it to the AUX setting. Does the Mark 6 have an AUX out plug somewhere on it that I can plug into my AUX in on my Infiniti Q50? If it does, will you please send me a photo of where it is located on the Mark 6? I believe that will make it work correctly. If you of any other way to get this to work I would appreciate it. Thanks Robert

[@SquareWheelsAuto]

it should have come with a small L-shaped adapter to plug in the AUX port under your armrest

[@BrettGoldstein83]

Thank you for the videos, you are truly amazing. I have a question. I noticed that since I've installed this when I go to charge my phone from the USB it's a slow charging and basically doesn't even charge my phone. Any suggestions?

[@SquareWheelsAuto]

Yeah the USB ports don't supply enough amperage to fast charge. Sometimes, depending on what's running on the phone, it doesn't charge at all as you mention. I only use the included USB ports for thumb drives and accessories, and have a fast charger hooked up in my arm rest to keep my phone topped up. Thanks for watching man, enjoy that MK6 🤘😎

Hey Squarewheels, love your content. I just wanted to if I could still get navigation in the MRK 6 if my car doesn't have it? If so how does the hook up works for my system?

I have a question. Why would I want to use oem navigation? I have it but have a 2016 that likely hasn’t been updated (in touch app now longer supported since the death of 3g) and I can’t imagine wanting to retain functionality for that since I would likely use my phone hotspot with apple maps 247 (can’t afford another sim line) i only ask because I am technically challenged and will have a professional install this unit and I imagine I would have to inform them of my preferences for all of this extra adapter bs also would some place like car toys be a complete ripoff for this level of difficulty? I want it done right and that’s not with me haha

[@SquareWheelsAuto]

Agreed OEM navigation is TRASH (has been since day 1 in my opinion). When I mention use OEM navigation in the video, I'm only referring to the ANTENNAS. You can either use the GPS puck that comes with the unit, or you can use your car's GPS antennas for a slightly simpler install. I really suggest installing it yourself but I totally understand how it looks intimidating. Just choose wisely: I've just heard horror stories about "pros" doing the install and completely botching it, then blaming the unit for the damage they've caused. These are plug-and-play units and its virtually impossible to plug something into the wrong spot. If your installer is cutting and splicing wires, you picked the wrong installer!!

What are the most common isues with the mark6?

[@SquareWheelsAuto]

1. USER ISSUES!! These are full android screens, and they're integrated with the car. Some things aren't super intuitive, and there's a learning curve that's steeper for some than others. 2. Carplay/Android Auto - just my opinion, but I think Carplay/AA is crappy in general. Now when you try to run it in an emulator app on android, it can behave unpredictably (especially since the emulator/carplay engine/individual apps are constantly changing/updating). Its why I say carplay/AA is a waste. ditch it and run these screens as they were intended! Good question!!
