How does the navi unit work? Does it require some kind of internet connection?
Sorry for the stupid question. I'm new to this site and I'm considering a G35 Coupe as my new car.
On Infiniti's website, it says it can tell you if there is an accident or traffic jams if you have the navi unit. So how does the navi unit get this information? Do I have to pay some kind of monthly fee if I get the navi unit?
Thanks for all responses.

It's not that unreasonable of a question. There are aftermarket computer systems for cars that can let you connect to the Internet, using satellite service. Satellite is a digital signal, so it can send and receive data just as easy as it can send and receive music. I haven't seen any factory units with Internet connectivity yet, but its coming.

It's not that far fetched, advanced communication NAV system is already in Asia. The NAV utilizes both radio and cellular signals to perform various functions from weather forcast, traffic update,and uses HDDs that can be updated from the internet data via memory modules. The US technology is slowly catching up, but we are still way behind.
