G80 Jog wheel headunit w/ car play fit a 2015 Ultimate sedan?

Just wondering if one would be able to swap a jog wheel headunit from a newer g80 (w/car play) into a 2015 Ultimate? Would it be a "plug & play" operation that could be accomplished pretty easily? Assuming that you could find a working g80 part that didn't cost stupid $....

Yes I would like some resolution to this myself... it looks like everything is tied to mapnsoft that handles the map updates. I know I will not purchase a map update unless it has the android and CarPlay update... especially for what they charge.

It would “fit’. The real question is would it integrate with you car, The 2018 unit is different hardware and firmware than the 2015.

The 2015 Ultimate unit was built on a Windows CE platform. The 2018 is built on an Android platform.


Fitting isn’t the issue. Integration into the existing wiring harness and computer systems is.

True. Seems like the the the differences would all be internal to the unit itself. One would think the connectors & such would be the same since all the same hardware items that it controls (AC, satellite radio, etc.) are unchanged. I rather doubt those physical interfaces & components were altered wholesale just for the sake of what is basically "software" functionality...

Yes for European Genesis they have this it installs an open operating system on the existing infotainment system so you can update maps yourself and it has android and CarPlay... unfortunately we can’t use it here Hyundai alternative navigation | Mena.co | Alternative Navigation: Alternative firmware for Renault, Dacia, Kia and Hyundai, supporting free maps, a video player & more!

From the looks of that, it only works on the Android based systems. The jog wheel/9.2 in system has a different OS.
