G35Driver - Infiniti G35 & G37 Forum Discussion - First Gen (03-06) G35 Sedan Tips/Tricks/Facts You May Not Know

Feel free to add things guys. I'll compile tips into the first post to make them easy to find :biggthumpup:

You can roll your windows down by holding the unlock button on the remote.

Rolling the windows down via remote ^ on a premium package will roll down all 4, but non-premium rolls down only the front two. (quick way to check for premium package if you're shopping Gs)

Holding down the lock and unlock buttons on the remote down for a few seconds will toggle the horn 'chirp' on/off

Windows can be rolled up or down from the outside driver's doorlock keyswitch by turning one notch past lock/unlock.

If your Automatic Transmission only has a cap on the filler tube with no dipstick, you can get a 350Z dipstick and it will work perfectly.

You have a first aid kit hidden in the back seat fold-down center armrest.

If your brake/slip/vdc off lights all come on at the same time while you're applying brakes, odds are you have low brake fluid.

If you shut off the car, get out, lock it via remote, then unlock it without opening any doors or the trunk, it will automatically lock itself back after a few minutes.

Some of the tips/tricks from the 2nd gens apply to the older ones as well

Thought it would be useful to start a thread with handy tidbits about the G that most people don't know. Some I found, most came from here :biggthumpup:

The auto-close windows and sunroof will rebound while closing if it finds an obstruction. Not suggesting you test this...

AesonVirus:
You cannot lock your fob in the car if you don't have another one on your person. The car beeps and the lock won't work. (Pushing the button on the door) You'd need to use the manual key to lock your fob in the car.
Also, if the fob is in the trunk and you close the lid, the car will beep and the trunk lid will pop back open.

sredish:
I know there's a little money / credit card clip holder or something hidden above the pass. side visor... took me a couple weeks to find that one.

tg1234:
You can roll the windows up while you shut the engine off. I just realized this a few weeks back. I was rolling the windows up and shut the engine off. As long as you started to roll the windows first and shut the engine off second the windows will roll up. (Note: If you open the driver or passenger door, the power will cut off)

IvoryPearl07G:

and you can lock the glovebox with your key located in the fob.

suby01:
you cant open the trunk while your driving/moving.
(note from NFSP G35: ...or in Drive at all)

earth0:
For G35 with NAV you can search destination by entering Phone Number
no address needed.

popcornten:
While playing CDs, if you have other CDs in the changer you can hold the track up or down buttons on the steering wheel and it will cycle to the next CD.

rpm&my_g35
If you simultaneously hold down the lock and unlock buttons on your I-key for a few seconds it will enable/disable your car beeps/honk when you lock it.
When disabled only the lights flash as usual.

I was playing around this morning on the way to work and was wondering if the engine can be shut down in drive while in motion. Well, I pushed the button and nothing. I then thought I'd push it several times and guess what ... the engine shut down while on the move. (edit: 3 pushes are required)

You can lock your doors by unlocking your doors...

On cars that don't have the ikey, if you get out of the car and close the door, the car doesn't know if you left the keys in it or not so it doesn't lock the doors, however... if it gets any signal at all from the remote after you close the door (even an unlock press) then it knows you have the keys with you and, after a few mins, it automatically locks itself.
