Awesome Upgrade from the stock! Just have to get use to it. And if any issues their customer service is very helpful and assisted me on finding the solution.

I bought the tesla style stereo unit…

I bought the tesla style stereo unit for my 2009 370z last year and it's been nothing but flawless. I love the screen and have had no issues with it. It gives my bose system a nice boost in sound as well. Would highly recommend!

Absolute fraud company

Absolute fraud company, take your money and don’t deliver a product.

Don’t respond to your emails, gives you dates of product being delayed and arriving. Then don’t get back to you, when you contact them, it’s an excuse.
Asked for a refund, canceled my order without sending a refund.
This went on for 4 months and still no refund or product. Another month later.
Dispute is with PayPal now. And PayPal are returning my funds.

If you had paid with a credit card you would be in trouble.

I should have read the reviews on reddit first. as they have done the same thing to others.

The reply I got on here they made no real effort to refund my money. Asked me to drop the dispute with PayPal and remove my review. And they would refund me.

I won’t remove the truth when I am getting a refund the way I should not have had to go down.

Steer clear of this company. If you want to keep your money.

Items are overpriced garbage

Items are overpriced garbage.
I ordered their kit for an Infiniti QX70. For some strange reason, rather than wiring their units directly to the speakers of the car, they wire it out through a 3.5mm cord, and include a cheap (quality, not price) USB-Aux adapter which causes a constant high pitched noise. Their GPS does not work at all, maps have me over 100 miles from where I actually am, if and when it does catch up, it has me like 1/4 mile away, moving a different direction/speed. The microphone is terrible, and picks up everything, including the caller on the phone, so it is unusable (most people can't talk when they are hearing their own words echoed back instantly). When you e-mail them for help, all they do is tell you that you must have installed it wrong. They ask for installation pictures, basically asking you to take everything back apart to show them that you did it right.
Super frustrated to spend almost $1000 on a stereo to have it sound like garbage and barely function.
My tech level is extremely high too, so it's not me. I am in the process of entirely rebuilding another vehicle (I just finished a full overhaul of the engine and transmission)

Update 11/7/2024
I am going to attempt to work with the tech support from Nifty City again. They are correct that we corresponded a few days after I left this review, but it did not solve the majority of my issues. My review was harsher than I usually am, but none of it is untrue.

Hi Brian,

We believe that 3 days after you commented this, you reached out and we solved all and any outstanding issues.

Is there anything else, that you haven’t discussed with us? Please contact us through the website or send us an email and subject your order number, if you need still help.

Avoid at all costs

Initially sent me the wrong unit.

Then when I asked them to provide a replacement, I was given rude and unhelpful customer service.

Currently awaiting a refund, unsure if they will comply based on these reviews.

Please avoid, this company is a joke.

Very long time to refund; struggled to get reply from customer care

Ordered a nifty box that was defective (#6304). They confirmed it's broken and made me send it back to Australia. The parcel arrived as per AUS Post tracking. Between the arrival of the parcel in Australia and the actual refund, more than a month passed.
Nifty claims they tried to refund me, however the money never arrived on my credit card or PayPal account. I also was not informed when the attempt to refund failed.
It was more than difficult to get a reply from them. I count 8 Emails before they refunded me on my PayPal account. So in the end i got my money back, but it was an unfortunate experience overall.

Whilst the installation of the Carplay software was easy and worked fine, this return experience diluted the initial good experience.

Also interesting to note - just received an email from Nifty. They offer me again to refund me if i remove my negative review. Interesting.

I updated my review to include the latest status.

Hi Oliver,

We remember you purchased the Nifty Box for your Nissan GT-R.

We refunded you within 24 hours of receiving our product back. The reason it took long to refund you is because we hadn’t received our product yet (The return did not arrive yet)

We need to wait for all returns and we need to inspect them for damage, before processing the refund.

Update 7/11/24
Oliver you provided the wrong order number. This order was a successful one. What’s the order number that has the issue that you posted a review on?

Bought a system that did not work

Bought a system that did not work. Tried to go through there troubleshooting, still did not work. Sent is back for replacement had to pay a deposit. Received the replacement and still did not work. Never received my deposit back. The new unit also failed to work. They promised one thing that never happened. Did get refund from initial purchase but not the deposit. Customer service is non-excitant. Write a bad review on there website, they delete. Do not trust.

Hi Matthew,

We offered you a free replacement and unfortunately you still weren’t happy with the system. We offered you a return and refund and followed your demands. I don’t think there’s anything else we could have offered to help with.

THIEVES

Don't waste your time with this company, I was sent 2 faulty nifty city boxes and they refused to give me a refund despite the boxes only being 9 months old with 3 months warranty left. The bank is now in the process of recovering my money AVOID AT ALL COSTS
Edited on 13th of March 2025
Order number NC4748 ordered by my girlfriend Vicki as a present
Oh so now nearly 2 years later you want to look into things and sort them out do you ? Too late you had the opportunity to do the right thing and give me a refund when I came to you first but you flat out refused despite me only purchasing your product 9 months earlier. I still have every single email ever sent between us so if you're thinking by coming along nearly 2 years later after purchase I can't prove anything you're very much mistaken. And asking trustpilot to take my review down as I got your business mixed up with someone else LOL 😆 cowards at least accept responsibility for your actions, you ripped me off and you know it !! Business must be bad aye boys, looks like I'm not the only one aswell looking at the other reviews. No I won't remove my review, people need to be warned about people like you and if one person doesn't buy from you and saves their money from being scammed by you I'm glad. Unfortunately I can't say the same for me.

HORRIBLE customer service

HORRIBLE customer service. Took over 6 months to even get my order number and took another 6 months to receive my actual device for my g37. Once I installed the device and it wouldn’t play my music I emailed them and they said “unfortunately” we can’t help because it’s ran out of warranty?! They also don’t even have a help number listed, just email. Save your time and energy and just go to audio source!!
