Car play is darn near simple to add to most vehicles with companies like Vais Tech or Beatsonic. Yeah it sucks to have to spend more $$, but I don’t see it as a deal breaker. We’ve been driving a 2019 QX80 for the past two weeks while INFINITI chased down a brake problem on our Q70. Nice, plush ride. Very smooth with plenty of power. A bit of sway at highway speeds. As a previous poster noted.. I’m a Cruiser fan myself. I’d look at a used 200 Series. They started with the 5.7 engine in 2008 I believe.. I could be off by a year. Something that concerns me being an Infiniti owner is the financial status of Nissan. They haven’t been doing well at all from what I’ve read for awhile. Just my 2 cents

I’d love to put my wife in a 200. Just not going to happen they are still 10-15k out of our budget.
I want to be a 2015 or newer at under 75k miles.

Sequoia and Nissan were in 16-18s based upon Sequoia trim lines and 18 Armadas all day long.

I’ll have to look into those CarPlay add ons you mention as neither vehicle has CarPlay. Never used it but heard good things aside from the phone actually having to be plugged into the vehicle.

Looks like BeatSonic makes a setup for the Sequoia but not the Armada and nothing from either for Vais tech.

I wish the car manufacturers would quit making all these stupid proprietary, HVAC controlling, crazy shaped units.
Back to simple stuff that can be swapped out with quality aftermarket stuff.
