#2 of 97 FX35 '05 GPS help by darthveda Sep 03, 2006 (6:03 pm)
Hi guys,   I was wondering if anyone knows how to operate the Nav system while driving. It's a real pain to have to stop to type in an address especially when there is a passenger who could be entering the info. Anyone knows the solution to this? thanks Replies to this message: fx35awd (Sep 06, 2006 6:49 am)

Replying to: darthveda (Sep 03, 2006 6:03 pm) When I purchased the car I noticed that at the dealership and the sales man told me the infiniti mechanics can overwrite that by installing some wire to bypass it. I have not done it myself, but he told me it can be done. If you find out please let me know as well. I know all the navigation system does that and that includes Lexus, Infiniti, Toyota and many others except for Honda and Acura.
#4 of 97 Which to choose - Roof Rail Crossbars or Permacoat by hyjynks55 Sep 07, 2006 (1:22 pm)
Could use a little help. I bought my black FX35 two weeks ago. It was supposed to come with Roof Rail Crossbars but when delivered, they weren't there. The dealer, Infiniti Tustin, has agreed to add the crossbars, no charge (and with no hassle). However, they also suggested that I might prefer to have my FX "permacoated" instead, that I might find that more valuable to me than crossbars.   What do you all think I should choose?

Replying to: hyjynks55 (Sep 07, 2006 1:22 pm) Choose the crossbars. The silver ones are all aluminum, and the superior construction of it will justify why they cost so much. Warning: The instruction manual states that the crossbars are designed to NOT bear any load. The dealer and Infiniti websites offers several Yakima roof rack items. However, checking with Yakima, they verified that they do not make the crossbar adaptor for any of their applications. Strictly for looks only.
#6 of 97 FX45 horsepower increase by chardonet Sep 15, 2006 (1:40 am)
Does anyone know if the M45 engine management system can be applied to the FX45 to increase the horsepower to 335HP? The engines are identical in the 2004 FX45 and 2005 M45. Are there mechanical differences that will prohibit this, or is this a software update? If available, does the potential cost justify 20 HP (6%) increase in HP? Thank you for any information or experiences.
#7 of 97 Hot Vent Air by fxmercguy Sep 18, 2006 (12:08 pm)
I just bought a 2004 FX35, which is my first-ever SUV and a GREAT vehicle! One weird thing - when I start the car from cold - I get cool air out of the Vent which continues as long as I drive the car (with fresh air In, Temp. set at 60F). However, if I were to stop and park the car, even for only 10 or 15 minutes, and get back in, the Vent air is now hot - even if the outside air temperature is cool. I've brought this to my dealers attention and they are trying to convince me that this is normal - that it will "cool down eventually". I've owned LOTs of cars and I've never had this problem with the Vent air being hot after the vehicle has warmed up. Any clues? Is this normal on the FX Series?

Replying to: fxmercguy (Sep 18, 2006 12:08 pm) This is a well known engineering "goof" in the FX model. The fresh air intake takes in air from the engine compartment. I have an '04 FX with the same problem, and as far as I know it is still present in current models. It will not get better unless the ambient air temp is really cool. Sorry about that.
#9 of 97 Always Bought Japanese... Defective Mirror by bisonte Sep 18, 2006 (7:05 pm)
Bummer. My 2004 FX 35 finally has a break down. The passenger side outside rear view mirror died. It won't adjust up or down, only side to side. Something wrong with the motor, most likely. Off to the dealer's. Still disappointing as I have never had a problem with japanese cars before... Jon. Replies to this message: hottrader9 (Oct 09, 2007 11:15 pm)
#10 of 97 Tailgate by slummyj Sep 19, 2006 (6:07 pm)
I have noticed that when I open the tailgate the door will stay in pretty much any place I put it. I can't remember if it used to rise with just a little push. It seem like it takes a good lift to open it all the way. It seems to do a better job of closing with just a slight push. Is this normal, or does it need new pistons?
