As far as I know, there is nothing else that we can do. Most, if not all, of the available options use the XM interface which is integrated into the HU. Grom said they will continue to look into using the CD changer interface, but I don't expect anything very soon.

a few 
1. I hate itunes and being tied to it.
2. I've used iphones and ipod touch. I really just don't like either one.
3. I have a two phones, both of which are excellent media players and have SD expansion cards for easy swapping
4. ALL my music is on USB media. Both a 128GB USB drive and a 320GB USB hard drive, which is quite convenient.
That said, the one thing I like about ipod/iphones is that there are soooo many accessories and a fairly easy to develop to API.
Maybe I should just use my kids' Ipod Touch (I re-acquired it after he proved that he couldn't use it without trying to find **** lol). I was going to sell it...

the GROM audio is such a great product but i just couldn't give up my XM. the DICE adapter should be available soon. i'll update my ipod thread with the info they sent me.

So is it the consensus that the Grom is the best way to get your ipod to play through the factory headunit?
I have a 2007 g35x with premium package no nav and am interested in this. What i was wondering is how fast and intuitive the interface is when your using it. I have had a few in the past (one from pionoeer another from kenwood) which would work but were amazingly slow making it better off just controlling through the ipod and using aux.
Does anyone know where i could find videos of this product in use? I have searched on youtube but have not been able to find anything.
Thanks in advance.

well to be honest i think the USAspec unit is good and the newer iSimple/PAC audio gateways are probably better than the one i had purchased last year. as i mentioned earlier i could use the Grom because i was unwilling to ditch my xm. dice is developing a unit for our cars (which hopefully will come soon) but i have no real info on it.
the Grom is nice because it also gives you the option for using a flash drive as a music bank.
as for videos you can probably find something if you google it but i don't remember seeing one.

hey scorpkev, basically it's yes to all 3 questions. you can wire it from the HU to the armrest, yes i think it's safe to say you'd lose the nav traffic, and yes since you have nav i believe your XM is integrated into the headunit. to check just look in the trunk right underneath the parcel shelf, if you see a silver box there with a harness in it that's the XM tuner, otherwise its in your headunit. sorry dude. also try DICE, since they are supposed to be making a new iPod adapter, and also since you have nav can't you add the ipod connector cable from the factory??

nissin - yes, the head unit needs to be removed but that only takes about 5-10 minutes to pull out. there is a DIY in the DIY section on removing the LCD, and ill try to find a picture of the plug you have to remove.
here you go:

there are two screws at the bottom of the head unit to remove it then it will just slide forward basically. hopefully this will start you off.

GROM USB iPod adapter for Infiniti Nissan
RemmyZero, did you have a chance to try any of the other USB integrations besides GROM?
I just bought their GROM iPod adapter for Nissan, but now I am thinking about upgrading it to USB unit. I like the USB idea better as I am thinking to give up my iPod to my son.
They also have the CD changer emulation now :

Not sure if it works with Infiniti, need to ask.
