Yeah - I do remember seeing a nag screen on start up .... I don't mind that too much --
What I hate is that you are still locked out of doing a lot of useful info when driving.

All I can hope for is a hack after I buy the car

Im waiting for the hack, although I dont really understand why Infiniti decided to continue adding the disable while driving feature? In my Acura CL-S I had navi and it was able to be programmed while driving, from factory.

I just looked at the page you mentioned above and it looks pretty clear to me as to what is disabled during driving. Just look at the items that are grayed out.

Well, yes, some of the sets of images are reasonably clear about what is disabled, so far as they go:
  • Entry of a street address, POI or home address
  • Deletion of a phone number
  • Display of POI information other than name
On the second set of images, it's not clear to me whether information entry or information display is disabled, or both. My greater concern, though, is that it doesn't say that the four sets of images are a complete listing of the disabled functions. They could be just for illustration purposes.

I can't complain much about the inability to delete items or to input setup items like home address, while driving. Limiting the display of POI information makes sense, I suppose, if only the driver is in the car. Disallowing manual entry of destination information also makes some sense if only the driver is in the car, AND it can be entered by voice while the car is movіng.

All this may be moot once we start getting reports from people with the Navigation package about just what works and what doesn't while driving.

I just went through most of the Navi manual. From what I can tell from the illustrations in the manual, the graphics look absolutely incredible!! I can't wait to get my hands on this and start playing.

When I originally placed my order over three months ago, I was seriously considering not getting the Navi. I am SO glad I did now, I would of kicked my azz if I didn't get it.

Hehe I was just perusing through the Navi manual myself (slowly though Shane, you know why). I am so glad I ordered it also.

I know what you mean Shane... I was thinking the same thing.
I have a navi now & find it great at times but find I don't use it too much.
Mainly because I don't like to sit & plug in the info when I could be driving already.

This new navi changes all that.... should be a kick a$$ option
(I want the RVM too )

Break in Period??

The manual suggests that properly breaking in the engine requires keeping below 4000RPM for the first 2000KM. How long will I really need to baby the G when I get it before I can see what it is made of?

I have never seen a "two-step" process for cup holders before, but I still won't give up my 6MT!



And is it just me, or is that console box WAY smaller in the 6MT?

It's a bit of a tease, you take it up to 4K RPMs and you can feel that the car can just go a lot quicker.
