Easiest ways to identify if a G35 has the tech package?

I really want to get a G35 with the tech package in it. I'm having a little bit of difficulty identifying which ones have the tech package and which don't (some ads on the internet are sparse of info).

What are some of the easiest ways you guys use to visually identify if the car has the tech package? I've heard of checking the lower front bumper to look for the radar door (don't know what else to call it) but sometimes the pictures are dark and don't have detail in that area.

depends which year it is but in all tech package there should be a ICC(intelligent cruise control) sensor in the front driver side bumper like you said and in the 07 the easiest way is the backup camera which i believe was mated to the nav package in the 08(correct me if wrong) also the adaptive light switch(AFS) on the lower right side of the steering wheel next to the VDC switch.

would having bluetooth capability also mean its a tech package or is that a separate feature from the tech package? We're most likely looking at a 2008.

no thats a part of the premium package

Regardless of year the Tech package MUST include the AFS and the ICC control so those are your best bet to check for.

I have an '07 G35S Nav + Tech..

AFS + VDC switches are on the lower left, not right

But yea.. ICC sensor on the bumper, backup camera ('07), AFS (AFAIK no way to tell on the outside, only via the switch inside and finding the actual motors inside the engine bay) ...

If you have to go by pictures online and can only see some interior angles, look at the steering wheel. The lower right corner will have one button for turning the cruise on/off and another for setting the distance the ICC keeps between you and the car in front of you.
