I am going to buy a G35 and trying to decide to buy a used 07 (to save money) or buy a new 08. I have driven a new 08 G35 with Nav and like it a lot. I want a Nav system in either case. Was the Nav system updated for the 08? If so, what is the difference between 07 and O8? Are there any other differences between the 07 to 08 worth considering. I have found the Ipod issune on the O7 on here, so I know about that.

I orginally posted this question on the wrong area.

The only differences that I can think of off the top of my head is that the later build of 08s have a reduced amount of voice commands over the 07s and early build 08s.

 

GET AN 08, i had this choice and opted for the 07, i am pissed that i DID NOT KNOW the 07s do not have ipod control.

 

I regret not getting the review camera...

 

Yeah...isn't that one of the differences? The backup camera went from the tech package (07) to the nav package (08)?

 

Yup.

 

..........and the reduced voice commands...and the ipod integration (non nav related)

 

And the sound stage.... of course, us with the 07's can just tick the sound one click to the left.

 

If iPod control is that important to you, save yourself $5k and get a Murano. Otherwise, just get some AV cables and plug it in through the Aux in the armrest...there's also plenty of remotes you can get for your iPod that can control it wirelessly through the armrest...and you can mount those invisibly behind the steering wheel on the column or some other place.

 

search...a number of people have installed ipod controls in the 07.
