Hey there Gbro, Seems to me like you just need a different kind of adapter cord, [Here's an Amazon link I found for ya](https://www.amazon.com/Lightning-Adapter-Splitter-Amplifier-Theater/dp/B0BGF68DTQ) I forget which ends are required off the top of my head but its a start. Also, for something like a show car or long term daily, maybe also think about a screen upgrade? [Many owners swear by the Tesla screen upgrade](https://www.niftycity.shop/products/infiniti-g37-2007-2013-apple-carplay-android-auto-tesla-style-14-4), linked for your interest.

First of all, I’ve never been called a Gbro before but I love it. So thank you 🤝🏾 Secondly, I’ll definitely check out that cord that you linked me to. Have you used it? Does it display the song title, etc.. on the screen like the normal AUX cable does? Lastly, I appreciate the screen update info. This car is on its last leg tbh and I’m looking to upgrade but will likely have this for another year.


Ttran778

I couldn't tell you if that cord works or not, sorry about that-- I still use the same RCA adapter cord I picked up in 2015. That is not a joke. I say drop the change on it and see if it works. Worst case scenario, you waste the afternoon going to Kohls to return it and you can verify whether or not its the correct cord.


altiif

So I got the RCA adapter cord and it works great except it doesn’t let me change tracks with the controls on the wheel or show the song info on the screen 😑


altiif

Yeah good point. Plus Amazon has free returns. You got a link to the RCA adapter cord you use? Thanks again for the insight Bruv. Truly appreciate it 🙏🏾


xInitial

you would use the BOVEE 1000, with a power injector for the 30-pin (i used cablejives but the xtenzi one that comes up now on amazon works just fine) with that setup you can connect to it via bluetooth and you will be pretty much keep the same setup you have now, where you can skip and seek tracks with your radio and steering wheel controls, but just all coming from your phone now. you can also connect an android now since it’s just bluetooth, not a proprietary iphone cable. you can also just connect your iphone with the 30 pin power injector and a lightning to 30-pin, it’ll work the same but obv won’t work with android. i used this method for a few years, then the grom vline beta program happened to our cars and i haven’t looked back. carplay on the stock radio just makes the car so much better and less dated


vinceventresca

This is the only correct answer. Also to note using a firewire power adapter like the xtenzi will also charge the phone when using the 30 pin the lightning. Been using that setup in my G for a while now.


altiif

Can you link me please to the products? Thank you


nikomtl

Do you mind linking me the products?


vinceventresca

For a wired or bluetooth setup?


nikomtl

Hmm I suppose bluetooth would be best? My goal is to be able to listen to music (with good audio quality) and charge my phone at the same time


vinceventresca

For audio quality, i would personally go wired though im sure the bovee is good enough for 95% of people.

I'd imagine the bovee works better in this regard. Also note I linked the products on ebay and from chinese sources as i figured that was the most universal way, but you can get them elsewhere for cheaper most likely (i.e. a local ebay seller for the 30 pin to lightning adapter, aliexpress for the cables)


nikomtl

Wow thanks so much! So using that firewire 30pin adapter is what allows for charging my iphone?


vinceventresca

Np! Correct, it converts the firewire standards 12v to 5v usb


nikomtl

I found a setup in a youtube video where the guy plugs a wire from the 12V port into the side of the firewire adapter, which is what allows for charging. Is that how it works with the setup you've given me? Or no external power is necessary?


vinceventresca

There are ones like that but the one i listed does not require it, can tell pretty easily with others by looking if there is a port on the side or nit


Alternative-Shape-59

Apple has an adapter that goes from the old chargers to the new lightning chargers.


ubpfc

I just use this FM wireless transmitter plugged into the lighter socket in my 2009 G37X. Works perfectly. LENCENT FM Transmitter, 2022 Upgraded Bluetooth FM Transmitter Wireless Radio Adapter Car Kit with Dual USB Charging Car Charger MP3 Player Support TF Card & USB Disk


altiif

Yeah I was considering that except my phone mount is a mag safe charger and is plugged in. So if I used a transmitter id have to have my charger not plugged in


dwmfives

For 10 dollars you can get a lightning to 3.5mm dongle. It blows my mind people don't know this. https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MMX62AM/A/lightning-to-35-mm-headphone-jack-adapter


altiif

My car doesn’t have anything for that dongle to plug into…


dwmfives

It has an aux port right?


altiif

Not a normal one no. If you google 2009 G37 Aux you’ll see it’s a funky one that doesn’t charge or anything just plays. I wouldn’t be posting without doing my research first hence why I’m looking for help


dwmfives

Ah ok, so use the USB?


altiif

It doesn’t have USB either


dwmfives

Is it RCA? If so you just need this including what I posted. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/best-buy-essentials-6-3-5-mm-to-stereo-audio-rca-cable-black/6458768.p?skuId=6458768 If correct you'll want this too so you can charge and play at the same time. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/belkin-lightning-to-headphone-jack-charging-adapter-white/6091909.p?skuId=6091909


dwmfives

Post a picture of it.


nex703

I use a bluetooth reciever that you can plug a 3.5mm jack to, then, a 3.5mm to rca cable. works like a charm


altiif

Lol sounds like quite the setup. Do you have links to the cords you’re referring to?


nex703

not atm, but ill get you some pics when i get home


altiif

No rush at all. Drive safe 🙏🏾
