G35 tips you probably don't know :D

*If* you carry your fob in your right pocket and *if* you are wide enough for the fob to hit the inner seat belt and *if* you jump into your car when it's pouring rain outside and *if* the fob hits the seat belt a couple of times, all of your windows will go down at once letting in copious amount of water in a very short time and *if* there is anyone around, they will point and laugh.
This is a proven fact.

My car is a day short of a year old. I've been wondering when to replace the key fob battery, and all of a sudden, I find the car telling me that my key battery is 1/3 low.
When I start my car, right in the middle of the information display (between the speedo and the tach) there is a little display that shows the key and a battery with an F and an E on it. It only shows for about 5 seconds, but it clearly tells me that the battery is only 2/3s charged. Time for a new battery. I checked my wife's key and it does not produce the little graphic, so I assume her key is still charged.
08 journey, 5AT non-navi. if it matters.

After just over a year mine lit up. You can't miss it. Like right now, after only 3 months with the replacement battery I purchased at a dealership. Need to find another source me thinks.

Cool!
Now here's one that most people might know but I'm surprised to find out that many don't:
If you press the status button it will show a horizontal split screen. If you keep pressing the status button it will cycle through different options for the bottom of the screen.
So if you are on the iPod or XM it will show the music info in more detail on the top 1/2 of the screen and then cycle through options on the bottom showing climate info and turning directions for the GPS (but you have to have a route programmed in there).
Again, many may know this but if you don't - it's pretty useful!

Either its an Atlanta thing or you've seen me and are making fun because this happens to me all the time.

Thanks for this.
Just acquired a '07 G35S for my wife's business car, it came with all the service records (every 4k mi.!) but no Owner's Manuals. Thank you very much for this thread, it has been very helpful.
I've downloaded the PDF version from Infiniti's web site but I'm old school, I find it easier to read hardcopy. I've requested a replacement set of manuals from Infiniti unfortunately the manual for the Nav system is not included with those and it looks like I'll have to buy one from Infiniti but that's ok, the other free manuals is a nice service from Infiniti.
Thanks again for these tips.
