Maybe Sooner Than I Think
Cheers mate.
So far I am really happy about the car, but just a few small issues that I can live with...
1) My Samsung D600 won't work properly with the car. It is not on the support list...but, I guess I could always go back to a Sony Ericsson T610? (That's old school...)
2) The display screen is lovely, but, even though the manual says that it would (or might) display UTF-8 characters (ie. Chinese, Japanese, etc.) it did not display them properly. Most of the mp3 songs I have now show up as _____.mp3. Oh well.
3) Where is the ipod adaptor? The RCA jacks are fine, but, I don't think I would be using that to watch a movie while on the road. The ipod AV cable would work too, but that means I have to control the songs on the ipod, not using the car controls.
I am just nitpicking now...but really it is very nice to drive. I accidentally went over 5000 revs earlier...should have waited after 2000km, break-in period.

Btw, can you scan every page of the manual and post it??
Thanks for your input. I'll stick with my mp3 CDs for now.
By the way, you should really check with your dealer and see where your Garnet Ember S is. Actually I was going to order this colour, but I was initially told to wait until December or later.
The manual? I wish it was on the inifiniti website. I don't have a scanner, sorry buddy.
If you have some questions I can certainly try to help you out here, but I gotta go out soon. I'll be back tomorrow to answer you OK?

Did you get Navi with yours? If you did, and have a compact flash card, I would love to find out if you can rip MP3s to the hard drive from it.
Oh, I was just kidding about scanning the manual.
That thing has to be as thick as a Toronto phone book!

Manuals are funny. I never used to read anything, just like Tim the Tool Man Taylor, wing-it. But I've already downloaded the 328/335 owner's manual and printed it at work. One-sided, it filled up a large (used to be a Lucent Technologies manual before everything was pdf) 3-ring binder! There are all kinds of bizarre features such as residual heat--the car will heat up the cabin for up to 15 min. using residual heat from the motor. I was reading about all the weird configurations of if you want daytime running lamps or not, your driver's door only or the passenger too unlocked with a press on the handle, etc. etc. etc. Cornering lamps too, so many things I've never heard of. Guess we really have to read, as there are so many hidden things now because of technology.
The most interesting was the age-old premium vs. regular gasoline subject. It said premium was "highly recommended." Then it said the 328 needs 87, and the 335 89. Using these lower octanes may cause an audible knocking, which in no way would shorten the life of the motor. Using less than the 87/89 respectively could cause permanent damage to the motor....

So, this is how your mp3's appear when playing them from a CD... Did you get the Nav/MusicBox? I wonder if you'll have the same issue after loading them onto the hard disk if you have nav? This is why I've been wondering if there will be a way to edit song info ie. song/artist/album/genre names once on the hard disk.
Congrats on getting your car...
Can't believe ppl are already getting their car when we havent had an official unveiling or any prices...
You hear that Infiniti!! I'm getting very upset... After going to the Taste of Lexus event this past weekend... I'm getting tempted to make the switch...

That was me driving on Sheppard tonight (6:00pm or so) in case you saw me on the road earlier!
