You have to start from the beginning using the Settings button, then go to your Phonebook from there and then you can edit or delete an entry. Hope this helps! I am still searching on where to find out how to get NAV updates.........  As far as the lockouts from the NAV... trust me it's not something that you can't grow to love. I came from an '06 Honda Ridgeline that uses the top notch Navigation from Honda/Alpine. True, nothing beats having all of your options while moving, but the Infiniti nav can do just about anything that you would need but you are reduced to using voice commands. If you use voice commands, you can change, edit, re-route, choose waypoints, and choose new points of destination using all commands. I know Honda has no lock-outs, yes that is true, but I pretty much have been able to find a way to do what I do on my Honda somehow with voice commands on my Infiniti.

After leasing exclusively Lexus' automobiles since 1992 we decided to give the Infiniti G35X a try in great part due to the Navigation System and the Music Box. What a mistake that was! We've had the car about 6-7 weeks now and find the fact that most of the most important features to us don't work when the car is in motion an abomination. To make matters worse, the Music Box is much more dangerous to use when the car is in motion because in order to get a desired album, you have to scroll through every track of every album until you find the first track on the album you want to listen to. Or try to find a restaurant when you're on a long road trip (we always have 2 people in the car on long trips...so we are perfectly safe with the passenger operating the system)...the system will show you just 4 of potentially hundreds of nearby restaurants. No way you can see any others on the list unless you stop the car. What's even worse, the Nav System as programmed by ZenRin is incompetent and simply doesn't compare in ease of use or in the ability to find an address to our old portable Garmin Street Pilot. In fact, we've now taken to putting our Garmin in the Infiniti so that we have a competent Nav System with us. We are much more than unhappy--we're disgusted.

Replying to: 604doc (Jul 22, 2008 6:39 am) Honda and the European mfgrs are not Alliance members nor do they support the SAE guideline. They do support a somewhat arbitrary measure of driving performance that they can't quite get to be accepted by anyone else, which is something of a liability for them. The hand held devices are not tied to a particular manufacturer and as such, don't face the same legal requirements as in-vehicle systems. The trade off is a tiny screen. As far as the updates, the Garmin maps update for the C-class systems is $70.
