Frequently Asked Questions

How does the module hook up to my car?

Depending on your vehicle, generally one connector will go to your screen and two connectors will go to your headunit/radio.

Most of our looms/connectors are prepped to be a 'Plug N Play' style, ensuring for an easy-to-do installation. There is no cutting or splicing with our modules. 

Note: On some of our new products, some hardwiring may be required. 
 
Please also note: Not all vehicles are the same, some might require more work than others. For example; some cars might require an additional board installed in the factory screen, which we provide

Would my factory touchscreen still work?

If your vehicle initially had touch screen capabilities, then this feature will remain when using our modules. 

Note: If your vehicle doesn't have touch screen, our advanced modules come with a new HD touch screen that replaces your factory screen.

Can I use my factory/OEM Controls & Buttons?

Yes! Absolutley! With the exception of some buttons on certain vehicles. When we designed our modules, their main intention was to allow users to enjoy aftermarket features while maintaining their vehicle factory features.

Please Note: Some steering wheel controls may not function with specific cars.

Do your modules work, while the vehicle is moving?

Yes! All of our modules have built-in motion bypass, so you do not need to worry about any anti-brake bypass or coding. Our modules will still provide their wonderful features, while the car is still moving!

Will my factory cameras work like normal? (Reverse, 360, BirdsEye)

Yes, same behaviour as it would from factory. Nothing changes. Your factory cameras will still override anything on the screen.

 
Just another great feature that Nifty City Modules allow you to keep, without the need of cutting, rewiring or any of the sorts.

Can I listen to Factory Radio & use CarPlay OR Android, at the same time?

Yes! You will be able to select the audio channel whilst selecting whichever screen you prefer to look at. ExampleYou may switch the image to the WAZE app through Apple CarPlay, while the audio channel is kept on the factory radio station channeling. 

How to get a consistent internet connection to the module?

There are THREE ways of getting a consistent internet connection on our Modules. 

One: Any Wi-Fi connection.
 
Two: Phone hotspot. 
 
Three: Insert a USB 3/4G Dongle (Sim Card Dongle) that plugs into one of the provided USB inputs on our modules.

My car is in a different language, will it still work?

My factory Bluetooth is terrible, does this fix it?

Fix it? in a way….

Our Modules do not replace your factory Bluetooth, but instead will provide a new bluetooth connection. Once connected to our bluetooth connection, your phone will then transfer audio and image, to our module, which then, displays on your vehicle screen.

Do you provide a new microphone?

Some of our modules will use your existing microphone, and others, we will provide an aftermarket microphone. To check for your vehicle, Contact us! Please Click HERE!

Is anything in my car, jeopardised?

No! Nothing at all! Our system allows you to switch back and forth with a click of button.
