Unfortunately I'm out of the country for several weeks in Oct-Nov, so it will have to sit. But all things considered, I’m really not that excited to pick it up anyhow after the POS G35 I dealt with, but I do stay w/in my current lease of only 17 months left

Besides, since were quoting someone who heard this system - Edmunds gave a better review of the Acura/ELS system then the Bose SOW:

Only then have I ever know my "delivery date".

It doesn't surprise me a bit that you are not excited about getting your new car. Maybe that will change once you are rid of your 05 and driving the 07.

Also, concerning the HD - it is possible to remove the shipped HD and install a bigger HD. Be aware that this takes some programming skills as you have to get the OS to recognize the bigger HD, but it is not that difficult if your into that, and there are step-by-step procedures on-line - not for the G35 but for other aftermarket systems that are HD based.

I haven't had one single issue with it other than having the brakes replaced....and that was under warranty. I hope the 07 treats you better.
We’ll see

It's tough when it happens to you.
I had a GMC pickup that was absolute garbage..... (many years ago)
It was the last GM product for me.
