Can You Add Apple CarPlay to an Infiniti G37 Without Losing Factory Features?

 Infiniti G37 CarPlay Upgrade Guide

Yes. The key is using a vehicle-specific system designed to work with the G37's factory electronics — not simply installing a universal screen that fits the dashboard.

Quick Answer

Yes — you can modernize the G37 without giving up its key factory functions.

A compatible 12.1-inch Android system can add wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto while retaining the factory backup camera, steering wheel controls, climate control and compatible factory sound system.Infiniti G37 factory dashboard before and after upgrading to a Roadnavier 12.1-inch T-style Android screen

Why the G37 Is Not a Simple Radio Replacement

The Infiniti G37 center console is more than a radio. Several factory systems are integrated into the original setup, including climate controls, audio and other vehicle functions.

There are also multiple factory dashboard and wiring configurations across the G-series and related Nissan Skyline V36 platform.

So when upgrading a G37, the important question is not simply: "Will this screen physically fit?"

The more useful question is: "Will the new system work with the factory systems already in my car?"

Which Vehicles Are Supported?

This Roadnavier 12.1-inch T-style Android system is designed for the following Infiniti and Nissan Skyline V36 models:

Infiniti

  • G25 / G35 / G37 — 2007–2013
  • Q40 — 2014–2015
  • Q60 First Generation — 2014–2015

Nissan Skyline V36

  • Skyline 250GT — 2007–2014
  • Skyline 350GT / 370GT — 2007–2014

What Factory Functions Are Retained?

This is the part that matters more than simply having a larger screen. The system is designed to retain the key factory functions you still use every day.Infiniti G37 Android screen retaining factory backup camera, steering wheel controls, climate control and factory sound system

✓ Factory Backup Camera

The original factory rear-view camera is supported.

✓ Steering Wheel Controls

Original steering wheel controls remain functional.

✓ Climate Control

Factory climate-control functions are retained.

✓ Factory Sound

The system supports the compatible factory audio system.

What Do You Gain?

The upgrade replaces the aging factory infotainment interface with a 12.1-inch T-style Android 14 touchscreen powered by the UIS7865 platform.

You gain wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, Android 14 and built-in DSP, giving you a much more modern interface for navigation, music, calls and compatible apps.

But the goal is not simply to add more technology. It is to modernize the daily experience of the car without unnecessarily sacrificing the factory systems that already work.

But Which Factory Dashboard or Harness Do I Have?

This is where G37 upgrades often become confusing. Different factory configurations can require different wiring.

That normally leaves the owner trying to identify the factory dashboard, compare connectors or determine which harness should be ordered.Roadnavier Infiniti G37 12.1-inch Android screen with three vehicle-specific harness configurations and CANBUS interface included

One Less Decision to Make

No Factory Configuration Selection Required

With this Roadnavier kit, you do not need to identify and select a specific supported factory configuration before ordering.

All 3 supported harness configurations are included.

Instead of passing the wiring decision to the customer, the package includes the three harness configurations prepared for the supported factory setups.

In other words, you are not expected to become an Infiniti wiring expert just to order the screen.

What Happens During Installation?

There is one important installation detail to understand. The factory head unit is removed, but the original climate-control box is retained.

This allows the new Android system to replace the original infotainment interface while retaining the required factory climate-control integration.

So, Can You Add CarPlay to an Infiniti G37?

Yes.

For the supported G37 and related V36-platform vehicles, you can add wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and a modern 12.1-inch Android display while retaining the important factory functions.

And because all three supported harness configurations are included, you do not need to identify and choose a factory dashboard configuration before ordering.

That is ultimately what matters with this type of upgrade: not just whether the new screen has more features, but whether it can be integrated into the car with less uncertainty.
