How do I get my US G35 with NavTeq to use the European Map DVD ?
I have a North American Market 2003 Infiniti G35 (same Navigation as the 350Z).
I deployed to Germany with the Army and my G35 is now with me in Germany.
I’ve acquired a used “NAVTEQ Xanavi X6.0 Europe DVD” for Nissan/Infiniti.
My Navigation player accepts the DVD without error but I get a black screen with the RED Vector (for the car) in the middle.
Looking through the settings, the car still reports United States with Canada as an alternative selection. The GPS screen states that all GPS satellites are out-of-range.
Do I need a special setup CD to program the Navigation System to access European satellites? Or is my Navigation System completely useless in Europe even though I have the European Map DVD?

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
Can't you just buy a Garmin nav unit that's specific to your region and use that? I get that you have the factory nav and want it functional but to be honest it's a pretty crappy system compared to the more modern other choices out there. Remember you're talking about a system that's been around for 14 years.

My nav is a permanent fuel economy gauge and oil change reminder.
