Maybe someone can clarify. In order to get the traffic with the NAV you must have XM, correct? Now does the real time traffic require a full xm subscription? Can you just get a traffic subscription? I have XM in my other car, but I do not think I need it on the G with the hard drive and flash card.

I'm pretty sure that you can get the navtraffic as a stand alone option...it is just cheaper when bundled with xm radio service. It's like $3 per month as a bundle or like 8 or 9 per month by itself. But don't quote me on it.

Don't think so, have you asked XM?

Can you guys tell me if there is anyway to locate an actual destination NAME while driving using the voice commands? My dealership said you can only search by ADDRESS or PHONE NUMBER. I mean seriously, who knows the address and/or phone number of the place they are going every time? But I would hope they would know the name! Ugh...just another Infiniti miss on the design.

Forget why would you want to watch movies while driving.
 
How can you disable the lock-down of all key features while you're driving? It's like Infiniti didn't put any knowledge into what commands make sense locking. Did they ever think that the PASSENGER could actually look up addresses, etc.
 
Like when you are talking on the phone and you have commands to Hang Up, Mute, but you can't use the Keypad to enter a # like you need to when listening to VM, etc.
 
Or when you're searching through your Phonebook and it will let you scroll through the first 12 entries but no more and you have to scroll through the list because the voice activated tags don't work most of the time.
 
Or when you're trying to scroll through Traffic information but it only lets you see the first page of results. There are so many 3 or 4 level deep menu options that aren't disabled while driving but little things at the top level like these mentioned are - it's very very very frustrating.
 
I had an older 2004 G35 Coupe and remember reading message boards then about being able to disable the lock-down feature, but it would involve taking it somewhere and basically voiding your warranty on that equipment. I'm close to the point where I don't care though - I want my features while driving.

I want my features while driving.
 
...as though people with cell phones screwed into their heads while driving wasn't enough, more buttons and video screens to pay attention to while aiming a car down the road at interstate speeds...sure makes sense to me!

Yes, and why would the passenger ever want to mess with those controls. Hmm...I can't imagine that would be useful.

I suppose if the owner could guarantee to Infiniti that the accident was caused by a "careless passenger" instead of a mindless driver thus releasing Infiniti from any liability (because you just know a lawsuit will always result), then Infiniti would let the driver "play" with buttons rather than do what a driver is supposed to do...you know, drive. Until then, I guess everyone who wants have their features will just have to be frustrated.

Nothing is locked in my other car (Acura MDX)
I can even use a calculator, in case I want to do my taxes at 80 mph.
 
I agree that these features should not be locked out for those of us who can pass an intelligence test.
Acura must just assume that their drivers are bright enough to use common sense.
 
I don't know... there's 2 sides to this coin, and I understand both arguments.
I just wish my stuff wasn't locked out in the G.

I can certainly see both sides of the argument. Everyone is out for a buck so everyone else needs to cover their *sses, but then now can Acura afford to NOT lock those features but all these other companies do. Are their lawyers just that good?
