Replying to: m35macman (Jan 04, 2008 12:02 pm) The phonebook holds 40 numbers, but you can only see and select 12 while driving. The musicbox holds over 9GB of music files - over 100 albums or CDs, but you have to stop the car to search and select a different album. Ironically, it will allow you to manually scroll through 2000+ songs which will take your eyes off the road for a lot longer than scanning 100 albums. On the nav, there are 10 categories of POIs, but you only get 5 while driving and you can't search for a restaurant while driving through a town. All in the name of our safety. Safe attentive driving is my responsibility. All the bells and whistles work great in my driveway, but that's not where I want to use them. I encourage everyone to put pen to paper.

Alas, I think our words will be unheaded as the layers are grabbing this whole country by the throat and stifling any of our rights in their name. Where will it ever end - our tort system needs major overhaul

Replying to: tsol (Mar 29, 2008 11:44 am) i was hoping the voice commands would have given us on option, but Nissan has scaled back the command set there as well. Lacking a straight answer form Nissan ( and I HAVE tried to get one!), I suspect there were a few dealers with customers who had problems with usability. Ugh! |

In February 2008 I bought a new M35x. I have had it in the shop three times for problems with the Navigation system. On several occasions it has lost fix, provides false location information and generally has very slow performance. The dealer informed me that this is a typical problem with the 2008 M series and there is basically no fix in place from either Infinity or the GPS manufacturer. I find it hard to believe that this is a problem on every M series car in 2008, and that Infinity is not doing everything in it's power to fix it. Especially since it is on their top of the line model. I suggested to the dealer that they replace the GPS antenna since I can't imagine that the 8 Gb hard drive would have any impact on GPS location determination. Can anyone help with any additional recommendations or rights I may have relative to handing the car back to the dealer. In my case the navigation system is the the most important "and used" subsystem in the car. Without it, the car is almost useless to me. One other point if interest, The infinity service manager who advised me that this is a problem with all 2008 M-series never saw this problem before. In addition, the service tech. who worked on the car never saw this before, as a matter of fact, neither did the four other personnel who looked at the car the previous two times, nor did any of the sales personnel who expounded upon the great technology package offered in the 2008. I feel as if I am getting the run around here, if ever 2008 M series cars would have this problem,  then I would think I would have seen this issue posted in several of the consumer guides that we used to research and compare this vehicle. Someone please help!!!
