OFFICIAL '06 G35 Changes
#137
If I'm not mistaken, the entry/exit assist is the function where the seat retracts all the way back upon exiting the car. And when you re-enter, the seat automatically adjusts back to your preset position. Thats how my 02 I35 worked. Thing was, I had my seat so far back, it really didn't matter the extra inch or so it moved.
I actually shut that feature off. Never made a bit of sense to me.
I guess if your under 5"2" it maybe useful, but other than that it was added cost for little or no use at all.
Maybe if the steering wheel telescoped back in, and the wheel raised to the full up position along with the seat going back, it might very well be an added welcome.

I forgot what the difference between HICAS and the Super HICAS system?
If a redesign does happen its going to be for 08 for both sedan or coupe and at the latest 09 or 10. I am thinking if there is going to be a rise in price its only going to be the 1.5k for the HICAS option and a $500 for the base models if the xeon lights are standard. I think I remeber seeing a pic of an 05 Japan sedan interiror pic with bluetooth. I dont think bluetooth will any cost to the cars price, from what I read there was no increase when BMW put it on their cars.
Next project for G owners 06 headlights. Last time it was the rear tail lights for the sedan people.
I wonder what new things the Z is going to get.

Well according to one dealer here, the only changes to the 06 is the intelligent key. Another dealer said the only change he knew of was the new color, but also added that there could be other changes but he is not aware of it. The same dealer is also taking deposits right now, and says the delivery will be Oct 1st. He is not taking orders though, since he doesnt have the details yet.

I think that the "redesigned tailights" will be (hopefully) the same ones we have, only that the lights will light two circles (like the GT-R) instead of one. I hope its this, cuz that way we could def have a retrofit right?
What the hell do they mean by... "automatic entry/exit assist"?
As for the changes, I only envy Bluetooth (cuz im gonna get a nokia 8801 when it comes out, but aftermarket is the clear option), the projectors, and the keyless entry (I wish it were keyless entry + start BUTTON instead of turning ****).
Not nearly enough to regret trading my 04 for the 05. I dont like the looks of the G w/a spoiler. The way I see it (for me):
04 = +(Brembos; 18" rim design) -(ulgy interior; too many rattles)
05 = +(More HP; Great interior dials; steering wheel; trim; center console; VLSD; MP3; lighter clutch) -(brakes; not-so-good-looking rims)
06 = +(Bluetooth; keyless entry; headlights) -(Spoiler on 6MT;
As for the "Vehicle-speed-sensitive power steering" I believe its the same thing that BMW made. When you are at high speeds, turning the steering wheel yields to less tire movement. If it is this, WOW that alone makes me happy I have an 05. I'd hate to have to adjust to turning wheel more at higher speeds to get the results of a little turn on normal speed.

Are there any pictures of Nokia's 8801 with the keyboard cover off? It seems like they took a nice "candy bar" design and turned it into a "clamshell."
