Q50 Dual Screen Replacement | Your Upgrade Options Explained
The Infiniti Q50's dual-screen InTouch setup — with its upper navigation display and lower climate/media screen — is a known weak point. If one or both screens need replacing, here's what to know before spending money.
What Goes Wrong
The Q50 uses two separate LCD panels connected to a single InTouch control unit. Common failures:
- Upper screen dead/black — usually the LCD panel or its ribbon cable
- Lower screen unresponsive — touch digitizer failure
- Both screens frozen — control unit failure
- Screen delamination — the touch layer separates from the display on older models
Dealer Replacement
Replacing just one screen at the dealer runs $800-1,200. Replacing the full dual-screen assembly plus control unit: $1,500-2,500+. You get the same factory system back, with no feature upgrades.
Aftermarket Upgrade
The G-Series head unit replaces both factory screens with a single 13.6" vertical touchscreen. Instead of repairing aging hardware, you upgrade to:
- Android 13 with Qualcomm Snapdragon processor (8GB RAM)
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Google Play Store for apps (Spotify, YouTube, Waze, etc.)
- 1920x1080 Full HD resolution
- All factory features retained (steering wheel controls, backup camera, climate, Bose)
$1,099 — often comparable to or less than a dealer screen replacement, and you get a major upgrade instead of the same old system.
