You are in the Infiniti G35 Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
I just bought a G35 sport. The dealer told me there is an ipod docking station that can be purchased which would fit where the ash tray is. I forgot the name of the company that makes it but just wondering if anyone else has heard of that. He also said that it will allow you to flip through the songs on the ipod using the controls on the steering wheel. Also, has anyone been able to figure out how to get the video to play without having to be in park. Im sure its just a ground you have to rewire somewhere else because I used to have an aftermarket TV and it worked the same way.

Replying to: trudesai (Mar 01, 2007 12:24 pm) There is no bypass for the video, and wires won't work. it's all electronic and cutting the wire on the park brake doesn't work, you need to also cut the detection of the tranny being in park and the vehicle speed sensor. By doing this MANY other functions such as navigation and other safety features stop working and the car will have all sorts of errors and the check engine light on. The only way you'll be able to have video while in motion is if someone is able to rewrite the firmware/software that runs the system and most likely the only way that is happening is if you rip the entire system appart because the HDD is buried in the head unit and it's not a serviceable component. The outlook on this is not good at all, unless Infiniti decides to come out with an OEM solution to ipod, yet I doubt they will allow video even if they do.

Replying to: kring5 (Mar 01, 2007 12:41 pm) I was very interested in bypassing the video lockout while the car was in motion. There was an entry in one particular forum where a member made a complete walk through of a hack, including very nice pictures. It included removal of the Navi and cutting/splicing/hacking of wires leading to speed and brake sensors. Many others followed suit and everyone drove their brand new IS while watching DVDs on their Mark Levinson/Navigation systems. Everyone was happy.  Then, months down the road, the posts started to come in. Systems were shutting down, some were reporting incorrect locations and some all together stopped working. Of course, this killed the warranty and these guys are all out of Navi systems - all for a few months of driving and watching movies.  I'm learning my lesson from their mistake.

Does anyone know if music can be transferred to the 9gb onboard hard drive by any other means than copying from CD (which I find bizarre at best even if it did work - mine will record for 20 seconds or so and then start over)? Even if it did work as expected, it would take a considerable amount of time to copy from my CD collection. I heard that you may be able to copy music from the CF card to the hard drive; anyone know if this is true?

| Does anyone know whether the 2006 sedan was pre-wired for XM or Sirius? They wanted $350 for XM, so I let them keep it. But now I kind of want it. Has anyone tried to install it aftermarket? What has been your experience. | |

Replying to: sizarro (Mar 23, 2007 2:07 pm) You can't copy from CF to HDD. You can't even copy from an MP3 cd to the disk. Stinks. I'm toying with physically removing the drive, figuring out the file system and how the database of songs works and then manually copying mp3's over and updating the database. From a computer-tech standpoint, I could do it - I'm just not real excited about taking the dash of a $40k car apart.

A member on another forum was kind enough to put together a pdf showing the functionality of the Music Box option. I figured some here would enjoy this as well...

Replying to: scottm123 (Mar 29, 2007 4:59 am) By the way I have about 40 albums on my HD. Does anyone know any easer way to find a specific song on the HD besides going down album by album (by turning the knob on the dash) and then going down song by song in the chosen album? |
