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 |

| I'm about ready to purchase a G35 Journey with Nav. Does anyone know if there's been a new version of the software released - should I be concerned that I have the latest data, are all G35's being delivered with the most-recent data? Thanks. | |

Replying to: cdreier (Apr 20, 2008 3:14 pm) http://www.zenrin.com/infiniti/HDD8/ As far as changing the command sets / voice commands / etc. Nobody's mentioned a new version of that software afaik. If I were buying an 08 right now I'd make the dealer include the first map update (as I did when I bought my 07 in November of 07).
