Has anyone added the stock infiniti navigation setup to their non navigation g35? Ive seen a few setups on ebay and that is the only thing I am missing on my car. Now my question is first has anyone done it...if so does it recognize the trip computer features such as current mpg, avarage speed...ect. Ive also noticed that these all say it wont work with sport suspension...how do I know if I have that? Ive got a 6mt...do they all come with the sport suspension? any help is appreciated.

 

you wont be able to put in a infiniti nav on a non-nav g35...what you can do is a double din conversion though. do a search there are many people who have done this

 

Also the OEM navi system sucks really bad. An aftermarket one with a touch screen will be 10x faster and more user friendly than the stupid **** on the oem nav.

 

^^^I agree 100%.^^^

 

yeah ive seen these but i actually like the look of the 03 controls...but you gotta do what you gotta do. thanks guys.

 

you technically could do it, but from what i understand it's more than just the 2K monitor and dvd unit. the gps, whatever handles the speed, etc, etc. this is just from what i've heard, i don't know anyone that's tried, nor have i done all the research.

 

Go to carparts.com. Order the system there (console and dvd). The real problem is the wiring harness. Which is said to be different between the nax and non-nav G's. There's a thread here where a guy did install it. Maybe buy the console (for giggles, I got quoted $600 for the entire center console - radio, hvac controls and monitor), remove the screen, install a touch screen in its place and install a carputer.

 

I remember someone posting pics of his OEM nav install. IIRC cost was close to 2K.

 

Which is near the cost of getting it from the factory.. you are better off going aftermarket and that's coming from someone who owns an X with factory navi. It's sllllllllooooooow!

 

I have to agree with everyone else on here. Aftermarket NAV's are the way to go. They're less expensive and you have the option of getting either an integrated or portable option. I spend time on GPSPassion dot com, and am amazed at how far the portable Nav options have come. For my money, I want a smaller unit that I can take with me on vacations and transfer into my wifes car as needed. The integrated options are sleeker, but they're not worth it (IMO) unless you plan on keeping your car for 5 years or more.

 

+1, I wish I had gone this route instead of actually paying for the Infiniti nav system.

 

Everyone one that seems to be complaining, do you guys have an 06? The 06 navi is much different than the 03-05 navi. I have a 06 with navi and it's not that slow at all for me.

You can go aftermarket, but I would take a 06 factory navi over an aftermarket because of the pop up feature. However, like everyone else said, if you didn't get it from the facotry it's nearly impossible to install a factory unit.

 

Go aftermarket...Reason is your car is not wired for Nav...Most cars with Nav. has a different wire harness then the non-nav cars. You would need to buy a wire harness, gps antenae, new console for the nav screen, new buttons controls, nav screen, nav dvd unit, and then you would need to get it installed because you will need to take out everything in the car to wire up the nav system. The GPS ant. is on the rear desk of the car...Also, it's intergrated into the stereo so you can hear the voice guidance. Trust me even the dealership will tell you that it's not worth it. I used to work for a dealership and a customer ask if he can add a Nav to his car afterwards. They straight up told him "No" because it too much work. Just go to the dealership and just ask how much for the screen and unit. It's over 4K that's not including anything else i mentioned. My 2 cents

 

do you have to buy another set of a/c controls or do the stock ones pop out and you can use those in the double din kit?

 

I'm not sure...Because i have an 06 and i'm not sure what the older ones look like. I know that on the Acuras it's a whole new controls...But i it be different on the G...
