Navi without premium package?

Is this possible? I am very close to getting my g35 coupe...I have a good connection w/ the sales manager at a local dealer and was wondering if it was possible if I could get the navi package w/out the premium package. Thanks!

Getting navi without premium is like getting a 6MT without a clutch

I doubt your connections will do any good, but try.
Had to have premium here too.

The old premium vs no premium argument ar!
Anyway, its not possible to get the navi without the premium package.

Most manufacturers force some type of a premium package in with the navi.

Thanks for the quick replies guys....I actually just want a base g35 auto; bare as can be. But the one thing I would want is the navigation. I just don't see how the premium would be necessary in order to get the navi. But if that is how it is; looks like I will have to get a double DIN aftermarket unit. Reason I want a base w/ no options is because I have around 29k to put down on the vehicle; and I want the vehicle close to paid off. I will be able to purchase before TTL at around 30k. (base auto) Thanks guys.

I am looking for a base 6MT. Nothing wrong with that. Hard to find though--you almost have to order it.

my dealership never orders a base coupe 6mt but i've found a few for a few of my customers. i would just get the sunroof b/c i use that a lot and it doesn't add that much weight to the car.

It shouldn't be possible for you to buy the car configured this way.

Infiniti adds the navigation system on the assembly line, since it is so tightly integrated into various systems in the car. It isn't a "plug-n-play" part.

They could, if they wanted to, offer the car with navigation but without the premium, but I'm guessing it was a pricing / offering decision not to do so.


Also, you won't have much luck getting a stock navigation system installed after the fact... many, many posters here seem to agree that it isn't worth the time and money. Good luck!

Thank you! That clears things up quite a bit for me.
