Hey Team , just got the Fujitsubo unit installed , not a big db difference but it does sound better across the rpm range , I have the front pipe on order I'll post a video with sounds when that has also been installed.

Ducan , yeah sure mate , the unit is https://www.carlinkit.com/ambient

TBox Ambient -  plugs straight into the USB C and it runs as a android  unit and you can link your phone to it via Bluetooth , but it only allows for one phone at a time.

you can download and apk files you want and load it on there , I downloaded a basic maps apk (OsmAnd+ — Maps & GPS Offline) so I can run navigation without data usage , its not as good at google or wazes but it works fine for what I need.

I can put up screen shots if you like.

Cheers Pac

Thanks for the link.....but I'm still not totally understanding (a bit slow).

So as long as the host unit supports carplay or android auto, you plug the unit to a USB C port, and then change the AV source? 

Does the unit run its own apps (eg I could run Real Dash or Torque etc) or does it rely on a host phone and just run Android Auto from the phone (which is very limited compared to full Android?).

And, does the touch screen work for the apps? Only the bottom screen or the top screen as well?

The 4g wifi looks like a good feature if you have kids with devices in the car (noting none of the versions seem to support 700mhz Telstra)

Ducan , it basically  coverts the convert the top screen to a android tablet (not the bottom one - but you have to clink to the android auto or apple car play icon on the bottom screen to get it started ) , you can Bluetooth your phone to it and it creates a shortcut for you to switch to full android auto or apple car play if you need it , or you can add a mobile data sim to you and then you can run 4g while driving around .

Team , quick update on the 400r , Fujitsubo front pipe unit is installed (wasn't able to get a picture of it , the exhaust guys installed it really quick and it was out before I got back to the workshop - but I have attached another picture which shows what it looks like)and I have updated the badges to the latest model which makes it look a little nicer.

Sounds good....do you have a dyno run for it?

Also, sounds like you should get an Ecutek tune shortly to make the most of the hard changes.

Duncan , the plan is to get the down pipes done then I book it in for the full tune . Most likely late May , that's the plan.

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
