If you search, you can find an Android module that will enable you to use Waze or any other navigation you like. I mostly use the navigation to check the traffic and look for alternate routes rather than for directions.

With the UNAVI Navigation System, the Infiniti Q50 may add navigation while keeping all of its factory features.
The factory radio and finish of your Infiniti Q50 are entirely compatible with our navigation system. UNAVI Navigation Systems distinguish themselves from conventional aftermarket navigation by retaining OEM radio features and technology, including any infotainment and telematic functions from the manufacturer. Our systems include features like steering wheel controls, climate controls, HD Radio*, Satellite XM Radio*, AUX/MP3 playback, Bluetooth*, OEM backup camera*, Infiniti InTouch, and much more (*if installed). In other words, following installation, the newly added navigation capability will function precisely the same with your radio and entertainment system.
Our in-dash GPS navigation system uses iGO Primo NextGen software, which includes features like turn-by-turn directions, 3D buildings and landmarks, searchable POIs, Canada and USA maps, and more. These offline maps for the Infiniti Q50 are a specialized offline navigation system that does not rely on cellular connectivity because data is collected trustworthily from GPS satellites. Additionally, UNAVI systems include multimedia functions including video playback from an external storage device.
Plug-and-play UNAVI Navigation Systems prevent OEM hardware modification. A 2 year standard warranty from UNAVI is longer than the industry average.
How to Set Up:
- A DIY Installation Guide is provided with UNAVI systems, while UNAVI recommends professional installation (DIY installations have a 1-year limited warranty).

The 2018 Infiniti Q50 is CarPlay compatible.
Some automakers drastically redesign the sheetmetal and fascia of their mid-cycle vehicle updates, while others choose a more conservative approach, making minor adjustments here and there. The changes to the 2018 Infiniti Q50 are somewhat subtle when using the latter strategy.
As I approach my Q50 Red Sport 400 test vehicle in Nashville, it doesn’t appear to have undergone much change from the 2017 version. However, according to Infiniti, the Sport model-specific front is brand-new and has a double-arch grille, wider air dams, a more pronounced front lip, and LED accent lights.
This most performance-focused variant in the Q50 collection has a more aggressive appearance from the back thanks to thinner LED bulbs and a two-tone lower diffuser.
As Infiniti maintained the primary arrangement of the dash untouched, slipping onto the driver’s seat feels comfortable. Some people may be able to see minor differences, such as the thicker steering wheel, shifter, and more accent stitching on top of the dashboard, if they look closely enough.
I navigate the carryover Infiniti InTouch infotainment system, which has a responsive 7-inch touchscreen below and an 8-inch screen at the top of the center console, as I start along the driving path. My preferred satellite radio station is playing on the incredible 16-speaker Bose sound system, and the navigation map is quickly shown.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not yet supported by the Q50’s infotainment system, but an Infiniti official promises that they will be in the future.
The Direct Adaptive Steering technology that came standard on my car from Infiniti initially lacked feel and input. The steer-by-wire technology no longer gives the impression that it is disconnected from anything because it is now in its second generation and is benefiting from constant improvement. When the Drive Mode Selector is set to Standard, the weight and responsiveness feel more natural when driving through the city, but when you select Sport Plus, the response is immediate and there is no dead spot whatsoever.
Even with Dynamic Adaptive Steering’s advancements, I still choose the rack-based electric power steering system that comes as standard on V6 Q50 vehicles.
No big issues with the 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine that continues to churn away under the hood and delivers 400 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque to my right foot. With the seven-speed automatic transmission’s seamless cog changes, getting onto the expressway to travel south is simple. Although using the steering wheel paddles to manually change ratios is an option, the computer did all the work for me for the majority of the day due to sluggish shift orders.
Considering the output, the engine and gearbox combination is also reasonably efficient. It achieves 20 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway, according to the EPA.
My only issue with the drivetrain is that the blown V6’s exhaust tone is subdued. Even with the throttle wide open, the audible belch doesn’t make one feel anything. Fortunately, Infiniti does sell a few sport exhausts through dealers all across the country. A muffler-less system for the loudest soundtrack costs $589, while a throaty but yet refined kit with mufflers has a suggested retail price of $681.
Southwest of Nashville, the Red Sport 400 comes to life a little more after you get off the highway and onto more intriguing sections of road. Sport Plus increases steering response while also tightening the adaptive Dynamic Digital Suspension, the gearbox behavior, and the throttle response. The staggered 19-inch Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tires hold the 3,840-pound car steady as it curves.
