As far as I know, it's only currently being tested on VR30 vehicles with Bose Performance Audio system

I’m sad to hear this.

Anyone looking to grade me their 2016?

It's not impossible! Just hasn't been tested.

In fairness (and I do have to look at the 2015 FSM), you can YOLO it for the upgrade. The only stuff that will possibly break is noise cancellation/fake exhaust. You also might not have fuel economy within InTouch but it will still be in the gauge cluster - though I'm not sure that will even be the case.

Hey, I I had a 2018 Q50 RS400 and I found a crashed 2022 RS that’s being parted out local to me, I would love to upgrade my system to the 22, Can you help me with exactly what parts and harness I need, thanks in advance

You will need the AV control unit, top screen, and bottom screen. If you want USB-C w/fast charging, you will also need the USB assembly under the center console. It will work with your existing HVAC + TCU. There is a wait because I have 2 people ahead of you for harness kits and I am finalizing design + software, but I can get you the rest right after.

Also do not plug in connectors that seem to match, the pinouts are completely different (as in sending speaker output through a CAN line different), so don't try to toss it in.

If it gets off the ground I'll be in line right behind you and Spider.

Make that 3 people

Ah my bad, you're in!

I thought you were selling the Q60?

I really should have thought harder about my username, and for that I do apologize 😅

I'm sure @IridiumRS400 's plans haven't changed.

My bad. Should have seen that. That's what I get for quick scanning posts.

I hope your patient when nick said "right after". I've been sitting on the 2020 hardware I bought six months ago patiently waiting for his magic sauce.

I'm sure he gets that every other post he makes. lol

All good.

Yeah I thought I recalled you having all the parts ready to go quite some time ago. Luckily I have use for some of the other hardware that will be coming with the updated head unit, so maybe it'll keep me busy.

Either way, at least it's definitely worth the wait.

Actually it hasn't happened since back when I joined, but there was a bit of confusion that first time for sure but since he's planning to get rid of his Q, I like to see it as a passing of the torch

Everything is the same for non-Mexican models. Actually I have australian maps on my head unit.

Wow, that is very good news, less messing around that I expected! Well let us know when you are ready. Thanks for all the research and testing you have done.

hey @nickdaria I hope all is well man. I have a buddy with a 2016 that was going to go down the AUCAR MK6 route until I showed him this thread (he’s not on this forum). He’s super interested and ready to buy. I wanted to see the best way to “get in line” and if you had an ETA?

nick's a pretty busy guy. I've been waiting for about six months now for his adapter kit since I bought the necessary 2020 InTouch hardware (DCU, Integral Switch with AV control unit) and I think I'm first in line.

 

[nickdaria]

Tin man is first in line, with about 2 following. Most of the kit is done, and I recently finished the software.

Final kinks are USB and AM/FM. Literally just connector refactoring. Just time consuming and constantly requires parts/harnesses I can only get from china.
