Looks like it just tries to help you adjust your equalizer settings. I can do that on my own. Maybe I'm missing something though.

GM went to Android Automotive (aka Google Built In) in the 2024 MY for some of it's fleet and the rest went in 2025 (Corvette, CT5)

There are two "modes". In one mode, it slowly increase the level of a tone associated with a equalizer frequency, and you hit a button when you start to hear it. It uses your ear as a level detector.

The other mode is a normal graphic equalizer where you manually set the band gain.

I have a 2023 and i doubt I can install it but I sure will try.
My initial first run out of Kentucky, I adjusted the audio on the road to get more Bass with my setting towards the rear position. (wrong)
Putting the settings in a center position makes a huge difference.
Mt 2LT does sound amazing but I will try find infinti

See my post. Mine's a 2026, but I didn't have to do anything special, and there's no cost.

However, it didn't work for me. I went through the setup successfully, but it doesn't change the sound of anything I tried it on. not even in the sound preview after setting it up.

The Personal EQ method does not put out pure sine waves and it relies on your "ears" for calibration. I tried this method as a test using a spectrum analyzer/microphone instead of my ears with a trigger at a certain dB. One issue is this starts at a low frequency with the EQ at 0 dB which can create a problem if the bass is boomy or you need more high end boost.

Then, I used the advanced EQ with the sliders and white and pink noise usb wav files for calibration. Here are my results if you want to try this as a starting point. The dots are my settings; the curve is from the Personal EQ run.

I used several different types of music to test my settings, and I am very happy.


How do you manually adjust it to match your settings? The screen doesn't respond to my finger if I try to drag the graph. Thanks!

The solid line is from using the Personal EQ test. To manually move the dots, select Advanced EQ, and then you can slide each dot to gain or cur each frequency band. In Advanced EQ, there is not line connecting the dots. My current curve (set of dots) is about 5dB lower everywhere so I have headroom to the max gain.

You have to be parked to adjust freehand in my truck.

Maybe you're not doing it right? For me I notice a huge difference.

Well, that's the thing. What is right? As an expert in digital audio who's made a number of digital audio products for musicians and recording artists, and is surrounded by digital and analog recording gear as I sit...I couldn't make it work no matter what source I chose. Even in the Infiniti app, in audition mode where it defaults to FM radio to check the results of the adjustment, adjusting the frequency bands did nothing. Drop the bass out, boom the bass and drop all the highs and mids, no difference. I even gave it time between changes.

I understand it's not specifically made for the Corvette, and may have quirks. And I don't expect it to work for Apple Music under CarPlay or streaming from my iPhone in general. But it works on nothing for me. The setup process works great, it just won't affect audio.

I've done it, there's a slight enhancement.
But experimenting, re-do the sound test, but when it says hit the button when you hear the sound, I waited until the sound was very audible, not as soon as I heard it... Made a difference..

Yup, I was just using it as an example as far as which app to use.

I may have to reload my app. I do not see those dots on my screen

The calibration procedure is basically to set each tone to the same level, from which it derives the EQ curve. So, yes, nothing wrong with just trying to get the same hearable level. Apparently they feel that easiest level for most people is at their threshold of hearing, but I have a pair of speaker-modeling headphones (aimed at recording professionals and the like) in which it steps through tones and has the user simply make them the same level, then at the end go through them again for tweaks. The key is to do it at a relatively tame level, because your ears have a protective mechanism (acoustic reflex) that compresses the sound via muscles to protect the inner ear. So matching loud levels won't be accurate. But any gentle level is fine.

When you say there is a slight enhancement...really, that sounds about right, but I'm curious. If you go to the Advanced EQ tab in the app and make a huge change (set some of the EQ points all the way up or down), do you hear the obvious change? I did nothing for me.

Thanks
