yeah these are also on the Acura MDX, and it really doesn't make too much of a difference becuase more than likely you still have to adjust them for your personal needs anyways. All we have to do to get that same effect on our cars is just flip a switch and press the down button. It's not that complex. Our cars are heavy enough without adding another electric motor to make the stupid rearview mirrors go automatically down.

Um there aren't any motors from what I understand, just a module that controls the existing motors, window motors barely weigh anything anyways

i cant beleive you dont have this feature on the infinity badged cars,
my 2004 skyline 350gt premium has it as standard, and to confirm for you guys....

both mirrors turn down when you put her in reverse (auto option only) you need a special switch for the manual car (located in the gearbox)
when put back into drive they return to the preset position.
the overide switch (for when you dont want them to dip) is located on the left of the steering wheel down by your knee (RHD car) its a small round button. the rear view mirror also is controlled by this circuit (dims when high beam is dazzaling you)

one thing you have that we dont is the cruse controll system (steering wheel controls) we dont have this at all and the oval clock, thats missing also.

I'm installing a test unit this Saturday. I have a beta tester in Flordia who should be installing his any day, and I just sent a test unit out to a G35 sedan owner from the board. This product will be finished and availible to the public.

KPtechnologies has actually completed every product that has entered in to the beta testing phase.

Thanks for the update....just hadn't heard from you since January.

True, but you guys have the factory option Momo steering wheels. Wish they had those for us with the cruise, radio and bluetooth controls.
The oval analog clock is an Infiniti thing. It says Infiniti on it as well.

Unless your backup camera is pointed at your rear wheels, that wouldn't do you any good.

Reverse camera not offered in North America.
Nor optional power fold mirrors and/or tilt-down.
Nor under door puddle lights.

We do have the steering wheel controls as I mentioned before.
We also have RAS (rear active steer) option on 6mt's. Don't know about 5at's.
6 way power seats w/memory on drivers seat only 4 way (no memory) on passengers. Heated too.
Dual climate control, don't think V35's have that, idk.

You guys get REV light on 6mt's? 2005-2007 models only here with 6mt rev-up VQ's.
Think also, you get more HP than we do.

You guys with V35 get cool stuff offered where-as we get other stuff, guess more 'luxury' per-say.
Infiniti is Nissan's luxury sub-division. We pay more for those luxury items and for the name itself in comparision.
It's known as an 'entry level sport/luxury' vehicle here.
