Installing Sirius in 2007 G35x
I have a Sirius satellite radio that I would like to install in my new car; however, I am wondering if there is a system that can be installed after factory that wouldn't require me running all sorts of cables through the car from the "auto kit" you buy at any of the electrnocis store.

The dealer can do it using your current factory radio receiver. They just have to install the Sirius satellite box in your trunk (factory pre-wired to the receiver) and the antenna. They should do the job including the parts for a few hundred +. Or you can buy the parts and DIY.

I called my dealer in Mission Viejo, CA and they quoted me around $700 to do the factory XM radio install. That's ridiculous. I have a Roady2 from my 03 G35 that I plugged into the cigarette lighter power port and the rca jacks in the center console. Yeah...there's cable hanging around and you don't see the channels on the LCD screen, but the sound quality is awesome and I can use my remote.

That's news to me. I thought they were all pre wired. My 04 was, and they did the install at the dealership when I got the car. The 07 I have was done at the factory, although the salesman said they could have installed it at the dealership for the same price. I had them bring in a factory installed car from another dealer because I wanted the antenna that matched the car color and would not have a wire running down the rear window channel. I did get the SOW radio but it doesn't make sense to me why they would not pre wire all the cars. Maybe one of the guys who work for Infiniti can clear this up.

I was wondering the same thing, I have an S with the Premium package but no nav, etc. I pulled down the cover on the panel in the trunk and poked around for a bit but didn't see anything that looked obvious. So are all G's pre-wired?

I just found this -

I know it's not the same exact car - but the install should be fairly similar. I hope it helps.

psymon, thanks I'll pull that panel tomorrow and check if the harness is there.
To everyone who added sat radio to the 07G, how do you switch to it from the headunit, is it wired to the Aux or the Radio button on the center console? I was wondering how this would work considering I have the Bose system without Nav.

It is wired to the radio button. Right now you have am & fm. When you add the satellite box and antenna you will have a satellite selection also. The only difficult part of the installation (if you are not mechanically inclined) is running the wire from the antenna to the box. I do not have the nav either. Mine was done at factory but works exactly the same way.
