Routine maintenance on my last post. Typo! Not routing!

Hmmmm, since they have addressed the radio and temp push button issue and the center stack material (hard plastic) issue, the only thing I have not seen anyone gripe about is the lack of a handle for the driver above the side window. That stupid card holder is freakin useless....GIMME A HANDLE !

I am all for suggestion #2. Make the AWD model in a 6 speed manual. Make it, market it, and enthusiasts will buy it.

I put my own handle on my G, it was very easy, took maybe 5 minutes, I have to agree, the card holder is a waste!

To those of you who complain about the horn chirping when you lock the doors with the keyfob, you can change it so only the hazard lights flash when you lock the doors. I did this and it's much less irritating and doesn't announce to the whole neighborhood that you're home from work!

All you do is push the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the keyfob simutaneously for more than 2 seconds. The hazard lights will flash 3 times indicating the mode was changed.

No more annoying chirps when you lock the doors!

You can switch it back to the original mode by doing the same procedure, but I doubt if you would ever want to.

Some of these may have been said but here is my list.

1 Steal gauge design, illumination from Acura TSX
2 Steal entire NAV system from Acura TL 04/05
3 More supportive seats for sedan (though 05s look better)
4 When I turn on the defroster, don’t default to A/C on., I am smart enough to press the a/c button if I need it.
5 Design electronic throttle to more closely mimic what my right foot
intended

DSR27, that's why I got the base model. Her in the AntelopeValley,CA (high desert) too many temperature extremes (1 degree-114 degrees every year) are bad for sunroof seals, and the cloth works much better here also. I would have liked some of the other features available on higher trim line, though.

My only complaints are the following:

The seat heaters take forever to heat up
The Bose sound system sucks
Why would the memory seat function control the seat and steering wheel but not the mirrors? Do two people wth two different seat positions have the mirrors positioned the same way? NO!

That's all I can think of now..

I don't like that the HID's flash when the alarm goes off, its a lot of damage to the bulbs

Also the button on the back of the car to open the trunk is pointless without the intelligent key, so that should be removed for the regular cars.

1) Replace Bose with an audiophile brand
2) All cars should have this --- put an AUX port for the stereo, a little 1/8" plug (like a headphone) so you can plug in an mp3 player. I see the Nissan Titan has one on their Rockford Fosgate stereo....very cool.
3) Adjustable pedals would be nice.

Just bought my 04' G35x a couple of weeks ago!

1- Put an RCA output on the back of the BOSE system, line convertors kill the signal!
2- I agree with other's the analog clock is very hard to see at night, need to work on this.
3- I read in the manual to shut the heated seats off after awhile, to keep the heated seats from 'overheating'. I live in MN, and I would love for someone to tell my Wife to shut them off, design something that won't overheat!
4- The fog lights... .... Well, what can I say.
5- The side mirrors, are tiny! when going in the right lane, I have nearly hit a couple of people already!
6- The gas milage is to be expected, but I bit more would have been nice!

All minor gripes, the G35x is the bext thing out there!!!
