UPDATE:
I have ordered a 2020+ gauge cluster to do some final testing with. This gets the firmware much closer to completion!

What's this doing in a 2016 Q50
The long awaited update:
Finally got the 2019+ InTouch infotainment system working in place of the last gen InTouch. Honestly have to say this thing is awesome. Super responsive, CarPlay, genuinely fantastic navigation system (prefer it over Waze if not for the law enforcement aspect - also gets data over wifi/hotspot instead of an SD card), and all around better experience.
Been waiting a while to share because I was waiting on the lower screen assembly (didn't realize they changed the resolution :/ )
How it works
I designed and built an adapter harness to connect all of the various old modules (DCU/AVCU/NAV) into the new consolidated AVCU. Then it was just a matter of adapting the pin outs.
The only difference that allows this system to be fully functional is my custom TCU module. It connects to the vehicle CAN bus and then connects to a separate terminated CAN line to the new AV system. This allows me to modify the few CAN signals that were needed to make the system work as though it was in a 2020.
Below are some pics. Open to any questions or comments. I can also upload a video. The new system is very responsive and not laggy in the slightest. Everything works as OEM right now except a few misconfigurations in programming that I am using CONSULT to remove tomorrow (I don't have driver assist stuff, just gonna turn that off)

I'm also waiting for the second coming and it's a tossup as to which will happen first.
Don't forget the installation video as part of your kit. I believe you mentioned you were going to make one.
Add to the list a complete redesign for the GTR (or Q50), and all of a sudden the second coming doesn't seem like such a long wait.I'm also waiting for the second coming and it's a tossup as to which will happen first.
If things go well, Av you will be the second to test drive the new system.
