Replying to: waltaz (Mar 04, 2008 8:53 am) Our 06 MDX is completely unlocked and you can access any menu or sub-menu anytime you want. In the Infiniti, the sub-menus are locked. What this means is that you access a list of 5 categories, but none of the others in the list... only the top five, since there is no scrolling or drilling in allowed while moving. I've gotten around this by learning some commands and by tweaking the lists so the items I use most are within the top five, but you certainly can't scroll through restaurant or hotel lists while moving like you can in the Honda/Acura. Comparing the two systems, the Infiniti system is WAY nicer but the Acura is completely unlocked. |

Does the reverse camera have a way to beep when you get close to an object? I had an M3 with the reverse sensor which was great, when you were within a few feet it would beep slowly then go to a solid beep when you were 1 foot way from anything. I do like the camera on the G35 when parking, but is there an audible option for it also which beeps when an object is close to the rear?

Replying to: rag133 (Mar 24, 2008 6:56 am) You have the camera and should be allowed to use it. The fact is that the rear window in the G is pretty high and even with the use of your side mirrors, it's difficult to determine where the rear bumper is. No two cars park alike. You have a back-up camera and he has no right in covering it. Luckily, when the moron is not in the car with his clipboard, the backup camera works quite well. You can get within less than an inch of your target and it covers most of the width of the car as well. Anything you can't see in the camera, you can see in your side mirrors. |

Has anyone else experienced an episode where the nav system freezes? I got into my 08 G35x, turned it on, and the nav system wouldn't do anything but play the music box song I was listening to when I last got out of the car 3 days ago. The clock had the wrong time, the climate system was off, couldn't do anything with it. I tried pressing a couple of buttons down for a while to try to reboot the system, but eventually it just rebooted on its own. Does anyone know of a way to do a manual reboot?

I'm looking into getting a G35/G37 in the next few months. I can't find much information on the nav system; Infiniti's site has very little info and I haven't been able to find a good extensive review of it. I've not owned a car with a nav system, so I don't have much to compare to. It's just quite expensive ($2150), and I'm wondering if I might be able to do better myself with a standalone GPS unit or a carputer. I don't really need the traffic stuff much as I'm living/working in the southern NH/northern MA area. I'm not even sure if the traffic stuff would work here. The hard drive could be nice for music, but I'm sure I could find a way to hardwire my iPod and do things that way. The voice recognition seems like it could be handy. Also, I love the idea of having a touchscreen to control things. I'd appreciate any helpful thoughts, advice, or any links to any reviews of the system. Thanks, all! |

Replying to: tu13es (Apr 06, 2008 12:55 pm)  ). I think it was worth the money for the convenience and have found it very accurate for myself. Some people think it sucks, but it's a personal opinion. My personal opinion is hanging an aftermarket unit on a windshield of a $35K+ car is kinda cheesy. Harddrive is nice; it already has a connection for an IPod so you don't have to jury rig things; with XM, CD, AM/FM, Hardrive, SD Card -- I can't imagine why anyone would "want" for more music -- frankly, it's approaching ridiculous. Voice recognition is neat, I guess - I don't use it, too quirky and I can manage nicely by straining myself and pushing a button. I'm sure many others will chime in and give you their thoughts - remember, it's all a personal choice. Z |
