hello all......im a newbie and just bought an 05 g35x....the dealer i bought it from didnt give a dvd for nav and i was looking on ebay for it. my question is what is the newest version i can use and also are they all the same for infiniti or just has to be for g35. also , will an 07 dvd work on my year nav.....thanks

 

the newest you can have is 6.7 and will work with any infiniti map disks. You cannot use the 07 dvd.

 

I wonder if you can copy these DVDs.....

 

I would ask the dealership to provide it for you as they are not cheap. Mine didn't have one in it but they got one for me before I bought it. I have 6.6 though since I bought my car in August and the update was released on October.

 

Are '05 and '06 different? Because i have DVD version 7.2 in my '06

 

Good catch, the 06's have 7.4 now which you can get here

 

I wonder how many changes have been made from 7.2 to 7.4 to justify spending $190

 

I know, I am wondering the same from 6.6 to 6.7. I would hate to spend $190 on it to have it be pretty much the same.

 

yes the 03-05 use the 6.7 disk and the 06 recieved a slightly refreshed system which uses disk 7.4

 

you can ask, but my dealership balked. they claimed that the one I already had was fine, and getting an updated DVD would cost $300.

 

if you live in an area that does not have any new roads or new developments then its really not worth it. If you search and use POIs often then it may be worth it to get, becuase they add over 5 million POIs to every disk. I am running 6.5 and havent had any issues except for a 10 mile tollway extension that was built last year, its funny watching the navigation freak out as you drive over an invisible road.

 

yes you can, I've done it many times

 

did you try 6.7?

 

not yet, I cant justify paying 200 for an update. I've done it to the 6.6.

I've never paid more than $40 for my updates.

 

By my house they moved the road and made it wider but it does not recognize it usually. There have been 2 occasions where I have actually been on the road and it was correct, but I have no idea what happened and why it suddenly saw it then. That was a few months ago now and it hasn't happened since.
