13 electronics tweaks available at your dealer
I posted this as a reply in another thread, but I thought folks might be interested in this and a new thread subject would be best. Maybe this could be moved over to the FAQ/DYI section.
You can have your Infiniti dealer set up to 13 different items with the control module they hook up to the car. I had it done for FREE with my last service.
-Now my keyfob unlock will unlock both doors with the first push, so I don't have to push twice. My wife likes to try to open the passenger door when she here's the first click, then when I push it the second time she's pulling on the handle and it doesn't unlock. That's not a problem anymore!
-Now my headlight come on sooner in "auto" mode. I found there were times before when the ambient light was low for my tastes, but the headlights stayed off. Not a problem anymore!
-Now the "auto" headlights turn off immediately after exiting and closing the door. No more problems with people telling me my headlights are on when I park in a garage!
Here's the complete list of settings your dealer can do for you.

Re: 13 electronics tweaks available at your dealer
G35MD - Can you help me out with the first item on your list? I had asked a guy at my dealer about that one and he said it couldn't be done. With which item on the BCM Chart does this correspond? Is it the "Door lock-unlock set" setting? Thanks.

An interesting note to this is that on the new Infiniti SUV - QX56 I think, you can configure a lot of these settings (auto headlight sensitivity setting etc.) in a new setup screen on its Navigation system. A very nice touch if you ask me. Perhaps this feature will find its way to the G sometime.

Hey, thanks DocMan. This will come in very handy when I finally take delivery on my 2004 Coupe/5AT/Nav/Perf/Aero/Chrome Wheels. One more thing though; do you know what the settings are from the factory so I'll know what changes to ask for when I pick up my car?

Re: 13 electronics tweaks available at your dealer
That first item "door lock/unlock" can be done since my Infiniti dealer did it to my car without any question at all. The service manager I worked with seemed to be familiar with these available options and just typed my 3 requests into the service order without any questions. I had this list printed out and circled which option I wanted.
As far as what are factory settings, some of the items state it. Otherwise just bring this list out to your car and play around and figure it out.

Re: 13 electronics tweaks available at your dealer
It would be good if someone could verify which setting allows all doors to be unlocked with a single click. I asked my dealer to do it, and they said that feature was only available in 03's, not 04's. I don't believe him, but I don't have a Consult tool to change it myself, so I'm pretty much out of luck. They did manage to change a number of the other settings, including when the auto lights shut off.
