I got a g with oem nav. I was wondering if there is a way to "mod" another button to be enter as well. I dont know which genious made the joystick also the enter button.

If we had a different button, say zoom in as enter, I think i may actually be able to use my nav as nav. I can put atleast 3-4 addresses in my Iphone before I can even put in one address in our car.



right now I just use it as a map( some people even said it looks like chicken scratches but better than nothing)
I end up using my iphone to nav as it is much faster.


anyone know of anything?

 

The regular buttons are just tiny microswitches soldered onto the PC board. There isn't really any way to rewire them from one to the other, but adding a second enter button that's run in parallel to the joystick button could be done if you're careful with your soldering pen.

The "adding dual" to JDM climate controls post will give you an idea of how tiny the switches are, and how hard it would be to rewire them.

Honestly I don't see whats so hard with the joystick I enter an address within a red light many times( barely made it) :P

 

I'm with you, 2005g35sedanyay. I have searched high and low. I would pay good money to have that button replaced and working properly.

I contacted infiniti, and they told me to ask my local dealership. what a crock!

 

I'd pay good money or that mod. I'd even pay more money if there was a way to have a touchscreen over lay or a touchscreen that can be swapped in to the oem spot. I'm all about staying oem as possible. Plus everyone thinks the pop up nav is cool

 

There are touchscreen overlays, but since there's no programming in the stock nav for it, it wouldn't do you any good to just have that.

Now, you could get the AVelectronics box, and put a 7" USB overlay on the screen, or just custom mount a into that spot and connect it to a carPC or laptop running GPS software of your choice.

 

Does anyone else have problems with their enter button?

Or is it possible that my enter button is just getting worn out, thats why I have to push the button multiple times to get it to work?

 

is it possible that the enter button wears out? I dont have another stock nav to compare mine too, but it seems like a bit*h to use it, all i use it for is to see streets.

if it is possible that it wears out, does anyone know if its possible to replace the contact for it?

 

It's a fairly standard microswitch, if you measure its dimensions and call an electronics supplier, I'm sure you can replace it, or use a normally-open momentary contact button nearby and solder it in parallel to the stock enter button.
