- Does the MK5 come with CarPlay? Can I use the Mark 5 with an iPhone? Can I connect my MK5 to the iPhone? The MK5 is an Android device… what if I have an Apple iPhone?
SIMPLE ANSWER: YES, CARPLAY WORKS, WIRED AND WIRELESSLY!! In this video, I cover setup, and briefly demo CarPlay working via the Zlink App on the AuCar Mark 5. You can assume the same works on the Phoenix MK3 and other Android T-screens too.

Hahaha funny guy here. Throwing shots at us iPhone folks. Maybe we just love simplicity. 😩😂 1:15
Hahah you caught that 🤣
It's all love, I actually edit all my videos on my 🍎 iPad pro 🐑
thanks for the video man, defintely an upgrade im looking at getting done here soon.
The MK6 is out now! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
just orderd one waiting and excited
Yoooooo!!!! Just ordered my MK5 this morning. I have watched your install around 30 times. Can't wait for mine to get here! I greatly appreciate the knowledge you provide on your channel.
Ayyyyy enjoy BIGLOS!! Happy to help!! 🙌🏾
Been looking at this for a while now. Just pulled the trigger on your site. Thanks for the coupon code too. Way cheaper through you bro.
Hey thx Joseph! Your order's off for processing, sit tight for tracking!! 🙌🙌
whats up man really appreciate all your videos and they have helped a ton so i have the mark 5 and was needing info on how your amp subs interface with it
Thx for watching Matt! The MK5 outputs to the car via the AUX source. Your Bose and any aftermarket amp/subs are all downstream from that, so no direct interface to consider/worry about. I've got a sub and it thumps just like any of the other sources 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Do you know when they will release the new screen you mentioned at the end of your video? I'm was going to order the Mark5 but if the new screen is coming out soon and is a significant upgrade, I would rather wait for the new one
How did you get that screen with the care on it?
Would you know how to make the CAM APP turn on at startup on the GT6-CAR head unit?
So would you fully recommend this screen for someone who only has an iPhone? I know it’s android based. Is it worth it to spend the money if I only have an iPhone or stick with the 2 screens from factory?
How bright is the screen during night drive; can it be adjusted into dark mode ?
I bought the mark 5 for my 2014 q50 and the seller said Apple car play kept crashing and he said he thinks it’s because if the Zlink application could this be the cause or is it something else?
That's pretty dope that it is responsive
Yeah I'm pretty impressed tbh. it runs smoother than the rest of the Android OS 🤔
I didn't know I could buy it through you. I'll go that route then.
Yeah this stuff is getting interesting! Working on adding more products to the shop, keep an eye out! 🙌🏾
What theme? Do you use
Aside from everything else… how you got the fog lights to light up 😂 & headlights
I got a new iPhone and nothing comes up on my unit connecting to my CarPlay. My phone doesn’t get anything like yours did. Why?
how I connect a Samsung in my Tesla screen??
Looks dope man. question I have is, messages and calls, apple maps all work correctly with iphone? Also, the HVAC… for steering wheel heating & the seats, all still fully functional?
Messages, calls, maps all work. This is just a pretty frontend for CarPlay, so it'll behave like any other CarPlay device.
All the HVAC/heated seats etc work fine. I don't have heated steering wheel on my Q, but I haven't heard anyone complain or report it not working for them.
The only 2 things that don't work on mine are:
1) call button on the steering wheel doesn't map to anything, and
2) the voice command button maps to a weird voice app that I uninstalled
Can you still use Bluetooth?
I have been thinking seriously about the system for a few months, but have heard mixed reviews. Has there been any recent firmware updates that clean up the user interface?
Nope. If the UI bugs you, know that you can run ANY Android launcher on these things that allow you lots of flexibility and theming. Nova launcher and Car launcher pro are 2 great options I tried.
There's also the Sergey firmware which takes these things to another level with themes that incorporate telemetry from the vehicle (compass, speed and Ron meeters, etc)
Mmmm. Mine isnt working…. Wifi or bluetooth or usb? I would love to carplay via usb cable or bluetooth
Maybe the hotspot option needs to be completely disabled on the phone?? I didnt have to turn that off when using other carplay car stereos…. just a thought
Hey bro what's up question I wanted to know after putting installing thar big screen stereo would I still be able to use my factory Mike that I have on there or do I have to use a different mic that the stereo come with
You can use your factory mic - I don't have the provided mic installed
how does the mk5 stack up against the smartautokits CarPlay mod? Which unit is smoother and/or has the lowest latency? strictly regarding iPhone CarPlay compatibility.
As far as CarPlay goes, I found latency negligible
on both. As far as I know, Carplay/Android Auto don't really rely on the unit's processing power too much. They're just terminals and the phone is the host.
Hmm I tried step by step and on my iPhone it says not supported. Really bummed 😢
Just got mine installed I few days ago. Everything seems to work fine except the lights on the unit keep changing. Is there a way to make the unit stick with 1 color?
Open up the app list, on the left there's an icon called LED color or something similar. I think the icon was Christmas lights.
Your videos are good.. hope your coupon works for me
Quick question, In order to use apple carplay do i need to have my hotspot on or can i turn my hotspot off and use bluetooth only for wireless car play? you mentioned it in the video but im still a little confused.
One or the other sir. If you use carplay, kill the hotspot and vice versa 👍🏾👍🏾
Once you initially wirelessly connect your iPhone to the unit, does it automatically connect as soon as you turn the car on? Or do you have to connect it each time you start it up?
Automatically connects once you open the Car Auto app on the MK5. And you can set the Car Auto app to automatically run when the car starts 👍🏾
Loved the video. Just got my MK5 installed, i have several issues but I was wondering if you know how to set the color of the hard buttons on the side of the unit to a single color. My buttons are constantly changing and its driving me nuts. :) Thanks in advance.
In the app list, there should be an app called 'light setting' or something similar. that's the app that lets you change the colors of the ambient lighting.
@@SquareWheelsAuto Thank you so much! Much appreciated!
Can't get my Google pixel 5 to connect
Just installed the screen and the fitment where the screen meets the top of the dashboard won’t lineup, I’ve tried for a while now but it just doesn’t. Any idea how to line it up ?
Yeah I've seen this before. Tough to explain in words, but your top screen (behind the MK5) isn't seated properly. Make sure it is properly seated before screwing it back in, then the MK5 will sit flush.
Can you just connect iPhone to thr unit via Bluetooth and not use car play?
Hello man , do you know if I would be able to use my Apple Music with this because that’s where I have all my music downloaded?
Probably, especially if u use Carplay
Hey man quick question do you think Apple car play would work better wired instead of wireless with the mark 5
Yeah, generally, wired works better than wireless. Better comm speeds and less chance of interference. But in my testing I didn't have any issues with wireless Carplay 🤙🏽
It's new years. Did you happen to get that "mark 6" test unit?
Still waiting... 😤
@SquareWheelzs Automotive yeah man I need to bite that screen setup you have 🤣...please
Yooo how did you get those lights when you unlocked the car can i have the link itss sick🤣😄
They're custom, I did then myself and recorded a tutorial: th-cam.com/video/c2mOhn88Lq8/w-d-xo.html
Is there a remote turn on wire for adding an amp?
No. Follow my Q50 subwoofer install video for switched 12v
Rob can you do a MK6 video on how it works and playing videos and using apps??
Yeah this one is long overdue 😔
Can you keep/delete certain apps from the car screen?
Yep. That's a native feature of CarPlay.
Hi I’m having a problem with my car play where the volume don’t work in only CarPlay mode. Would you know what could cause it and how to fix it? Like the maps and music with show and say it’s playing but no sound is being made?
Me tooo I’m having that problem also and I got bought mine
@@raygordon5035 I just returned it
I deleted Z Link from my unit because there was no sound when using apple car play. I can’t figure out how to reinstall it. Or why there was no sound. I have a 2019 Q50 Red Sport
hit me at rob@squarewheelsauto.com there's an APK floating around I can get to you
Hey boss! Curious did you hear of a release date for the MK6 model? I tried reaching out to the company but never heard back from them.
Nope. The date for the early prototype got nudged out, so I'm guessing the official launch date will be pushed back too 🤔
@@SquareWheelsAuto ah damn so what do you think maybe not until summer time?
All speculation, but at this rate I think summer's a fair bet
Do you still get your cameras when parking?
Yes of course 👍🏾
Brother, I have installed several Android based CarPlay systems on the Q40, G37, Q60 and now on my Q50. The one on the Q50 is not integrated like the previous cars (using a dongle with a small Android tablet). My issue with all of them (though Grom Audio fixed the issue on my Q40 and G37) while using CarPlay has been echoing on phone calls due to AEC (Acoustic Echo Cancellation). The person at the other end of the call hears himself/herself when they talk and there is also a slight time delay. Does this unit have the same problem, when using the iPhone?
Thank you for your time.
Hey Luis - that sounds infuriating haha. I haven't experienced any echo or delays on calls using wireless CarPlay, and haven't heard any reports of it with the MK5.
@@SquareWheelsAuto Thank you for the quick response. It's good to hear that.
My man, they let you play with that prototype? Because I have the cash for one of these sitting on my desk and I need to know if I should hold out and if so, how long that hold out might be.
Still waiting fam keeps getting pushed out 😤
Would this fit in a 2015 buick lacrosse
Not this one. But check aucarauto.com to see if they sell a compatible unit. Use coupon SQUAREWHEELS if you find one, it'll save u a couple bucks 😎🤙🏽
My Apple Music seams to skip when I’m connected to CarPlay, any suggestions why this is?
Why this is:
As there are constant evolutions in hosts (iphones and their software versions) and clients (like OEM carplay setups, or the MK5 like I demoed in this video), incompatibilities & glitches are bound to pop up.
www.autoevolution.com/news/recent-iphone-update-causes-audio-stuttering-on-carplay-161750.html
My experience with carplay has been pretty poor so far. Wireless carplay always disconnects randomly so I’m kinda bound to wired carplay which still disconnects sometimes. But the most annoying thing is the latency when changing songs. After some time passes, the latency becomes worse and worse, but it resets after using siri for some reason. Also it’s literally impossible to have a phone call for over 3 mins for me on this device because the latency kicks in and having a conversation with a delay is a goddamn headache lmao. I hope theres a fix to this
Damn that blows. I'm sure it isn't any consolation but I haven't experienced any delays or disconnects yet. The 'after siri' thing really makes me think the issue is with the host (iPhone) and not the client (MK5 or whichever device you have displaying carplay) so there's a good chance things will improve as they keep updating carplay
i’ve been having the same issue wireless carplay is just straight glitching. and wired just disconnects randomly and the only way to get it to work again is to reboot the system
Would this work on a 2015 Infiniti Q50 not a Q50s
Yes indeed.
360 camera will working???and mark5 will work on a 2013-2014 q50?
360 cameras work fine. Compatible with 2014+ Q50, all trims. I don't think a 2013 Q50 exists.
Does the Heating Steering work ?
Yes!
Awesome video, question regarding the new version since it is now early december. Have you gotten it yet / are you going to be showcasing it? Somewhat looking forward to see what they have in store instead of pulling the trigger on this model
Yep updated ETA is end of December for the sample and I will be sharing so y'all know what's coming! The consumer-ready version should be ready February/March
Awesome video. Interested on the aucar hardware. With the new version set to release next year, do you think it is worth waiting for that instead of purchasing this?
@@jore9387 really depends. the date keeps getting pushed back, and i still don't have any official pricing, features, etc details from AuCar yet.
I'd say if you're in a hurry, and/or you want something consistent and reliable, go with the MK5. I can confidently say they're good units and they get the job done, especially after adding Sergey Firmware.
If you're cool with waiting (maybe til summer?) and/or you want to be at the cutting edge/have the latest-and-greatest, and you're OK with the potential quirks that come with new iterations (not saying there will be, but lets be honest, these are Android screens from China), then wait for the new one.
Hope that helps!
@@SquareWheelsAuto Hey SquareWheels, just reaching out wondering if they ever did send you an updated version? Haven't seen anything on their website saying otherwise so assuming not?
Is there going to be a newer model that makes it more crisp with the swipes and all that? I am hesitant to pull the trigger on this because how slow it looks
@7:05
Nobody hates lag more than me. Carplay is pretty smooth. What you’re seeing is low refresh rate on the screen, not performance lag.
@@SquareWheelsAuto im an idiot. O didn't watch the whole video 🥲 thank you!!!
@@joseostorva7235 no worries i snuck it in the end there, most people wont make it that far
@@SquareWheelsAuto you think we should wait for that newer model ?
How to add Aftermarket amplifiers like for subwoofers and door speakers with the AU car Tesla radio for the bose system
The unit comes with preamp RCAs if you're going for a crazy build, you'll need to figure out equalizer and volume modulation for each channel, though.
Otherwise, just wire it like you would any other aftermarket system. Here's how I did mine (before I had the Tesla screen but adding the screen didn't change anything): th-cam.com/video/fAkCs7Ylcjc/w-d-xo.html

When does the mk6 get released does anyone know
No. COVID quarantines in China have messed up all timelines. Maybe late spring early summer? 😮💨
How much will Sergey software cost to add?

Great video Rob, is there a video out there that makes it that easy for android? i tried the only one i could find but requires Headunit Reloaded & a Wifi Launcher. Seems so easy for Apple, why not Android in the same fashion? Any ideas? Thanks!!!
It's literally the same setup and experience for Android auto. The new MK6 also now supports wireless android auto 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
@@SquareWheelsAuto So the MK5 does not support wireless AA then via the zlink app? That's disappointing 😞
@@redlinemsa correct wired only for AA when using Zlink4. Do you have an MK5? Try installing Zlink5 instead of Zlink4. The restriction is the app, not the device.
@@SquareWheelsAutohow do we do that?
Do you guys ship to Canada?
Yep I think you guys have import tarrifs though, so account for that 👍🏾👍🏾
Bonjour comment avez-vous fait pour mettre android auto sur votre écran mark5 je n'y arrive pas merci
Le processus est le même. Le MK5 est livré avec l'application Zlink préinstallée, qui active Carplay pour iPhone et Android Auto pour Android. Branchez simplement votre téléphone sur USB, ouvrez l'application et carplay devrait démarrer. Bonne chance!
Merci de votre réponse
What’s up man. I have a problem. I reset my Tesla screen and lost the Zlink application. How can I get it back?
I also sent you a message on instagram if you wanna talk there
Hey bro will this work for 2009 fx50?
Dont think so fam
on a scale of 1-10 how bad is the responsiveness of the touchscreen
There's 2 factors that impact "performance": screen responsiveness and processing power.
Screen responsiveness I give it a 7. In carplay mode, when you're not reliant on the screens processing power, the experience is very fluid.
In processing power, I give it a 5. I've spoken about this in other videos, this thing gets laggy sometimes. Even with the Sergey firmware installed, and Root Booster to Max out the processor and memory allocation, it's still just ok.
Question boss man will this screen work for my 2014 Q50?
Yup
Yes I have a 2014 Q50 and installed it myself by following one of square wheels videos.
I have a 2018 redsport,they have a disclosure saying that the 360 camera don't work when in park only when in reverse, have this glitch been addressed?
Nope. They need to send an engineer to the US to get hands on, and they haven't authorized the travel due to covid
They fixed it as it's working on my 2018 Q50 Red Sport.

Hey man how did u download Netflix ? I don’t see it on the play store
Apkpure!!
@@SquareWheelsAuto 🔥🔥okay thanks !
Netflix or you tube on Apple CarPlay mode?
I would guess no. Apple doesn't want to encourage watching videos while driving. The MK5/MK6 will allow you to, though
Here's a good question/issue(?)
I have one of these units, it's a AooNav unit 13.6 PX6 purchased from Alibaba.
How do we access or can we access the Intouch Diagnostic features????
Seen here th-cam.com/video/PE1dPmBPkg4/w-d-xo.html
Do we lose this functionality with these units or is there some sort of work around?
Hoping it's not that important like with the dealer if I need to bring it in, or I'm losing some features that I may need.
Hope you can help!
Interesting question. I tried getting to this menu and it didn't work. Worst case scenario, you'd need to connect the original screen to run diags. I'll ask around to see if anyone's found another way to get in. Thanks!!
can i connect this to ECUTEK?

Does CarPlay work with the cable? Like does it HAVE to be wireless? Or can I just use the cable for CarPlay like most units
MK5: Wired or wireless
MK6: Wireless only
@@SquareWheelsAuto thanks for the quick response. Will the Bose Premium audio still work fine? The shop that is gonna install it was worried it might not
Yes. As long as they install properly, it sends audio via the car's aux channel and thus benefits from all the Bose amplification and signal processing.
Choose your installer carefully, I've heard some horror stories of "pros" botching the installs on these and then blaming the car or the unit. These things are PLUG AND PLAY they don't need to splice and cut wires or anything. Show them my install video!! End rant lol good luck fam 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Does youtube work for the Apple carplay
I didn't test this but if TH-cam is an app that has carplay support then it'll work
With this mk5 tesla screen are you still able to access the oem car features such as oil change/filter reminders and other files?
Yep. Check out my overview at th-cam.com/video/UnAJlgdZ0So/w-d-xo.html. I demo InTouch access around 6:38
I have no gps in my Q60/Q50 if I purchase this system will I have gps? Like is it built in the system without buying a Q50/Q60 that has gps?
Yes that's one of the perks. I dont have factory gps in mine either but I use Waze and Google maps with this regularly.
