Do you mean you connected something incorrectly, or did you find a problem that will be present in other kits?

The lvds cable from the nit to the Maserati canbus box had a couple of wires built the wrong way, so kit to answer.
no-one else has reported this so probably a rare issue, and at least it’s easily resolved.

That is odd. You sure you didn’t have them the wrong way round?

On a GTS the ldvs In goes into the ldvs out port of the Android box

QP In goes to in, out goes to out.

Curious as to whether any of you have spoken with your respective Maserati dealerships about potential impact on (extended or otherwise) warranty?

My insurance company had no issue whatsoever, whereas Maserati proposes that the warranty would be voided as it's not an approved part and it's being wired in (I did point out that the install is completely non intrusive)? I know that another member of the forum had the same feedback, so I'm simply keen to hear if Maserati - in other instances - have taken a different stance that I can reference?

Many thanks!

Another install completed by Prestige Installs. End of a busy few days for the car and me - year 4 service and MoT at Graypaul in Solihull, trip down to the South-East to see family and combined with CarPlay kit and reversing camera install by Prestige. All just in time for Supercarfest and a brief UK driving tour the following week.

Paul from Prestige came by yesterday and dispensed his magic - excellent and swift installation, literally by the curb of the road.

Even though it's not very swift, it works very well and does away with one of my main issues - albeit a minor one - with the GT (i.e. the antiquated multimedia / navigation system).. Highly recommended.. Thanks Matt for importing the kits!

There’s some confusion about what with and without Bose means. For example my car has the compatible head unit but was specified with the Bose option which consists of Bose amplifier(s), DSP and speakers.

My understanding is that as long as you have this screen you are ok to go for it.

Well McCarrolls (Masser dealer in Aust.) does the Naviplus kit install themselves (albeit costs over USD 2k) and this doesn’t ruin your warranty per them.

Any more kits available to buy Conaero? I’ll get Paul @ prestige to install.

Hi, I have decided against installing the kit that I received as part of the first batch. I simply have not had the time to install it. I have the kit at home and happy to sell it at £529, exactly the price I paid for it. It has been untouched and uninstalled. All original boxing and packaging is present.

If there are any takers, kindly DM me for further info and we can arrange for payment and delivery.

I’ll take that kit off you animaserati providing there’s been no radical changes/updates from 1st to 2nd batch. Can anybody confirm this please?

I believe there are a few software patches/updates but that's something that Paul @ Prestige would deal with, correct me if I'm wrong. I know he need to do something with mine when he installed it

Something i will likely do in the next year and it looks like a few are starting to finally pop out in the last 2 months is get a wireless carplay dongle. I've seen them on ebay etc for around $80 USD and would negate the need to have any wired connections to the phone (at least if using the apple system). Additionally the naviplus system has 2 usb inputs so i believe you could install both for options (wired/wireless)
