210k miles
I see some cars with 200k+ miles barely getting by. People love to 💩on these cars but it’s holding up very well. I have a 2014 3.7 & it’s amazing. Purchased at 150k, No engine issues, no transmission issues. I’m overly grateful for Infiniti products.

Faulty gauge
Did any of y’all experience this issue before? And if so how did y’all fix it? It decides to do this sometimes and i have to switch the car on and off a couple of times for it to go away. Same thing happens with the temp gauge as well.

JoyAuto Apple CarPlay Kit
Recently installed the JoyAuto wireless Apple CarPlay kit into my 2017 q50. Overall it works well it has some quirks I’m thinking just because it’s an aftermarket add on. Overall the performance is good and I’m happy with it however one main issue I’m having is the cars built in microphone not being used when trying to talk on the phone. I always have to switch to the cars Bluetooth to talk on the phone. If anyone knows how to possibly get that working that would be great but I would recommend getting this if you want Apple CarPlay in an older q50.
Best OEM wheels for ‘15 Q50 AWD Premium
I’m thinking of switching my standard 17” wheels into the larger 19” wheels. Would like to keep things oem for now. I’d like help deciding/ranking the q50 factory rim designs over the years.
Photos are labeled “A” to “E” (bottom left corner) for quick reference (last image is my current q50).
Any other details I should know about doing this switch (e.g. impact on ride quality, performance, best place to buy, etc.) would be welcomed. I’m think of selling my current set of 17” to offset cost.
advice, tips
Lost my last engine 80K miles to rod knock, getting a 60K miles soon what should i add and change to the new motor i am getting before putting it in?

2015 Q50 with 160k miles needs valve body replacement
Transmission shop quoted me $3500 for the fix. I’m reading up on this and know it’s a common issue with our model but is it worth paying that much? I’m seeing that it could also be a whole transmission repair which would be even more costly. Or instead of throwing that much money on something that could give out again, should I just accept the loss and get a new car? Ideally wanted a couple of more years out of my car to save for an upgrade
Bought a used q50 but it’s having cooling issues
I bought a used 2014 q50 with 102k miles. I didn’t notice the car was overheating, but there was a squeaking sound which made me go back to the original sellers (third party reseller company). They brought it to a mechanic and he said it’s dangerous to drive because the car is overheating.
They saw the radiator was leaking, so they replaced that, but the car was still overheating. It was getting late and today is the 4th of July, so they’re closed.
I spoke to the shop and they said they’d give me a refund if it wasn’t fixed by Monday.
What sounds like it could be the issue? They put the coolant in and it starts to bubble. There weren’t like any sounds.
I guess either way it gets fixed or I get my money back
Automatic transmission. Limp mode after 4 gear
Today going to the tire shop to drop in a full set. My Q50 2015 with 128k miles. It drive fine but after forth gear it won’t shift. I’m new to the Q50.
I heard I can upgrade the tsm. Is there a good website someone can validate that can program me this so I can get my car on the road?
Valve Body
Just talked to a shop about transmission fluid change he told me that it’s probably my valve body. How common is a valve body issue on the 7AT transmission for VR 30? I know it’s a problem on the 3.7 but never seen on 3.0
