G-Series Head Unit FAQ

Everything about the SquareWheels G-Series Android head unit — fitment, what's included, specs, installation, and troubleshooting. For shipping, returns, and warranty see the SquareWheels FAQ; for digital clusters see the APEX FAQ.

Fitment & vehicle compatibility

Will a G-Series head unit fit my vehicle?

Every G-Series unit is engineered for a specific make, model, and year range — it is not a universal tablet on a mount. Find your vehicle on the Shop by Vehicle directory or the G-Series collection. If your exact year and trim are listed in the product variants, it fits.

Which vehicles do you currently make G-Series head units for?

We currently ship G-Series Android head units for:

Browse every vehicle on the Shop by Vehicle page.

Do you make a head unit for the Toyota Camry, Tundra, Honda Civic, or Honda Accord?

Not yet — these are among the most-requested vehicles we don't currently support. Email support@squarewheelsauto.com with your year and trim to be notified when a G-Series unit becomes available. (We do support the Toyota 4Runner 2010–2018 and Toyota Tacoma 2005–2015.)

How do I find the right unit for my year and trim?

Open the product page for your vehicle and select your year, drive side (US, Euro left-hand drive, or right-hand drive), and trim from the variant dropdown. If your variant is listed, it is confirmed to fit. If your year is on the early or late edge of a generation, email support before ordering.

What's included & what stays connected

What comes in the box?

Every G-Series order includes the head unit, vehicle-specific trim, a plug-and-play wiring harness, mounting hardware, and an installation guide. No splicing, soldering, or permanent modifications are required.

What factory features stay connected after installation?
  • Steering wheel audio, phone, and voice controls
  • Climate control display and functions
  • Rearview camera and 360° camera (where equipped)
  • Factory amplifier and premium audio, including Bose where equipped
  • Vehicle information and settings displays
Will I lose my factory backup camera or 360 camera?

No — the G-Series integrates with your factory camera systems, and surround view continues to function where equipped. For a sharper image, the HD 1080p Backup Camera is an OEM-fit upgrade (note: on Infiniti Q50/Q60 it overrides 360 view and shows the rear feed only).

Specifications

What are the technical specs of the G-Series?
  • OS: Android 11 or 13 (by model) with full Google Play Store
  • Processor: Qualcomm 8-core
  • RAM: 8GB
  • Storage: 128GB or 256GB
  • Display: HD IPS capacitive touchscreen, vehicle-specific 9" to 14.4"
  • CarPlay & Android Auto: wireless, both included
  • Connectivity: 4G LTE (carrier-agnostic), WiFi, Bluetooth
Does it have wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?

Yes — both are wireless and built in. Your phone connects automatically when you enter the vehicle, with no cables required.

Can I install apps like Spotify, YouTube, Netflix, or Waze?

Yes. Because the G-Series runs full Android with the Google Play Store, you can install any Android app — not just CarPlay or Android Auto apps.

Installation

How long does installation take?

Most owners finish in 1.5 to 3 hours with basic hand tools, depending on the vehicle. Trucks and SUVs with simpler dashes are at the lower end; the 2014–2015 Infiniti Q50 dual-screen replacement is at the higher end.

Do I need to cut any wires or modify my vehicle?

No. The plug-and-play harness connects directly to your factory radio plugs — no cutting, splicing, or permanent modification. The factory radio can be reinstalled at any time.

Do you offer professional installation?

Yes — white-glove installation at our Suwanee, Georgia location. We also work with a network of installer partners; email support@squarewheelsauto.com for a referral in your area.

Will installation void my factory warranty?

For owned vehicles, our installations do not affect your powertrain warranty (the factory infotainment warranty is separate). For leased vehicles, confirm with your dealer first — most are fine with reversible modifications. The G-Series is fully reversible and the factory radio can be reinstalled anytime.

Troubleshooting

Where do I find installation guides and downloads?

Visit the G-Series Support & Downloads page for documentation and firmware files.

My CarPlay keeps disconnecting. What should I do?

Confirm whether you're on wireless or wired CarPlay and whether it happens with multiple phones. Wireless disconnections are usually fixed by removing the phone from Bluetooth, restarting the unit, and re-pairing. If it persists, email support with your phone model and when the disconnections occur.

My screen is slow or laggy. Can it be fixed?

Most slowness traces to either factory infotainment (which a G-Series replacement solves permanently) or a stuck background app. Hold the home button to view recent apps and close anything unused. If lag continues after a clean reboot, contact support.
