Requires a different wiring harness to keep navigation screen. I have the same issue.

Nope.
For audio, power and steering wheel controls, it uses the same connectors, just some of the wires might need to be re-pinned.

The different connectors are; there is an extra connector, that wouldn't be used, and the connector for the radio antenna is different.
its 2 plugs combined into 1 connector. It basically has 2 antennas for the radio, only one of them needs to be connect (the one with the ground in the last photo).

Base BK1 stereo

infiniti/JBL/premium BK1 Stereo (some regions have the stereo rebranded as JBL. they are the same company)

BK1 Nav

the no name "navi" stereos can be programmed with steering wheel controls.

Basically you wire it up, with the controls (3 wires. 1 ground, and 2 signal wires. 1 for each side of the steering wheel) start the app to learn controls, then follow the instructions.

The last 3 android base chinese stereos were setup like that.

Any suggestions oh particular ones? I'd love to be able to Bluetooth my phone for android auto

"Bluetooth remote control" = right side steering wheel control buttons. call/hangup
"Steering wheel control" = left side controls.

connect these to together and connect to stereo's steering wheel control wire.
connect "remote ground" to the other stereo steering wheel control wire, or if it doesn't have it, connect it to the stereo ground.

Any fix? Also food for thought, what if you did the radio swap and then went to the dealership for the Wire Harness recall, do you think it might be worth the try?

I too was trying to find a solid alternative upgrade for my 2015 R-Spec Coupe, as I had started to order parts for the 7 inch Android Tablet conversion with a OBD-II sensor.

Seems like there are very few that actually tried what we're thinking!

roof antenna
OEM infinity amp and wiring
and some major reconstructive wiring on the harness to the point that it would be easier to just swap dash harnesses.

please elaborate!
