If you own an Infiniti JX35 or QX60 and want to replace the dated factory infotainment system with a 12.1-inch Android screen, there are three questions you should answer before ordering:
- Will it fit my dashboard?
- Will I keep my factory functions?
- How difficult is the installation?
This guide answers those questions before you buy, so you can confirm whether the Roadnavier 12.1-inch Android head unit is the correct upgrade for your Infiniti.
Quick Answer
The Roadnavier 12.1-inch Android head unit is designed for Infiniti JX35 / QX60 2011–2019.
It replaces the original factory head unit and uses vehicle-specific wiring and CANBUS integration to retain supported factory functions.
The most important step before ordering is choosing the correct dashboard style.
Which model years does this upgrade fit?
This upgrade is designed for Infiniti JX35 / QX60 models from 2011–2019, including owners searching for a 2013 JX35 CarPlay upgrade, 2014 QX60 screen upgrade, 2015 Infiniti QX60 Apple CarPlay upgrade, 2016 QX60 Android Auto upgrade, 2017 Infiniti QX60 screen upgrade, 2018 QX60 CarPlay upgrade, or 2019 QX60 Android screen upgrade.
Dashboard configurations can vary, so always compare your original center console with the compatibility images below before ordering.
1. Will It Fit My Infiniti JX35 / QX60?
The first thing to check is not Android version, RAM or storage. It is your physical dashboard.
JX35 / QX60 vehicles can use different dashboard configurations. The mounting frame must match the dashboard in your vehicle.
Which Dashboard Do You Have?
Compare your vehicle with the image below before choosing your version:
Stitched Dash / Curved Silver Trim
Visible stitching on the upper dashboard with curved silver trim above the center vents.
Smooth Dash / Straight Silver Trim
Smooth upper dashboard without visible stitching and straight silver trim above the center vents.
Important: Choose the dashboard version by appearance rather than relying on model year alone.
What Does the Upgrade Actually Change?
This is not a screen mounted on top of the original system. The original factory head unit is removed and replaced by the complete 12.1-inch Android assembly.
Before and after: the original Infiniti infotainment system is replaced by the integrated 12.1-inch vertical display.
2. Will I Lose My Factory Functions?
This is usually the biggest concern for JX35 / QX60 owners. Replacing the original head unit does not mean simply removing the factory system and starting over.
The Roadnavier unit uses vehicle-specific wiring and CANBUS integration so supported original vehicle functions can continue working with the new Android system.
Factory Functions Retained
- Steering wheel controls
- Factory climate-control functions
- Factory audio system
- Factory backup camera
- Factory 360° camera — when originally equipped
- Factory rear headrest entertainment — on supported configurations
The goal is to modernize the infotainment experience while retaining the supported factory functions already built into the vehicle.
What Do You Gain After the Upgrade?
Once installed, the dated factory infotainment interface is replaced by a modern Android-based daily experience.
- 12.1-inch vertical touchscreen
- Android 14
- Wireless Apple CarPlay
- Wireless Android Auto
- Google Maps and Waze
- Bluetooth calls and music
- Android apps
- Split-screen multitasking
Use wireless CarPlay or Android Auto for everyday driving, or use Android apps directly when needed.
3. How Difficult Is the Installation?
This is a complete head unit replacement, so installation requires removing the center dashboard trim and original factory head unit.
The system uses vehicle-specific adapter wiring. No factory wire cutting is required for the normal installation.
Installation at a Glance
| Installation Type | Complete head unit replacement |
| Factory Wire Cutting | No for normal installation |
| Dashboard Removal | Yes |
| DIY Level | Experienced DIY or professional installer |
What Does the Installation Involve?
- Remove the center-console trim and original factory head unit.
- Connect the vehicle-specific harness and CANBUS interface.
- Install the 12.1-inch Android head unit.
- Complete the initial vehicle / CANBUS settings.
- Test audio, cameras, climate controls and steering wheel controls.
- Reassemble the dashboard after all functions have been confirmed.
Important: Test every retained factory function before reinstalling the dashboard trim.
Watch the Installation Before You Decide
If you are deciding whether to install the unit yourself, watch the installation process first. It will give you a much better idea of the dashboard disassembly and overall difficulty.
Can I Install It Myself?
If you are comfortable removing automotive trim, unplugging factory connectors and following a vehicle-specific wiring layout, DIY installation is realistic.
If you have never removed a dashboard or worked with automotive electronics before, a professional car-audio installer is the safer choice.
The main challenge is not modifying the factory wiring. It is carefully removing the trim, connecting the correct harnesses and verifying every factory function before reassembly.
Common Questions Before Ordering
Will this fit every Infiniti JX35 / QX60?
The unit is designed for Infiniti JX35 / QX60 2011–2019, but you must select the correct dashboard style. Compare your dashboard with the compatibility image above before ordering.
How do I know which dashboard version I have?
Look at the upper dashboard and the silver trim above the center vents. Choose Stitched Dash / Curved Silver Trim or Smooth Dash / Straight Silver Trim to match your vehicle.
Will my steering wheel controls still work?
The system is designed to retain supported factory steering wheel controls through the vehicle-specific CANBUS integration.
Will the factory backup or 360° camera still work?
The factory backup camera is retained, and vehicles originally equipped with the supported factory 360° camera system can retain that functionality.
Do I need to cut factory wires?
No factory wire cutting is required for the normal installation. The system connects through vehicle-specific adapter wiring.
Should I install it myself or use an installer?
Experienced DIY installers who are comfortable removing dashboard trim and working with factory connectors can install the system. If this is your first automotive electronics installation, professional installation is recommended.
