Thanks for all your comments, negative and positive...:-)

Just keep me in mind if anyone is ever thinking about complying these.

For now, I think I will stick with getting myself a 370GT.

Cheers,

Thanks Chris, would probably have to lookup what POSIX and J1850 are before going any further with the conversation.....

think we posted at the same time. buttons yep. at $550 for the assembly I do not see you lining up for them anytime soon. I have bought the buttons in the past and that was the price at that point in time. if you do buy them they will have to come out of the USA. japan can't buy them and the local nissan dealer cannot either.

as for the kenwood idea - DVI gets in the way! forget trying to get the buttons to run with it. unless you can code in POSIX and J1850 or CAN its not going to happen.

Thanks Chris,

So are you saying that it could be done using the USDM parts?

I was looking at this site.....http://www.infinitipartsusa.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=getJointLocator&siteid=55&chapter=&Sectionids=3,2413&groupid=7660&subgroupid=4793&componentid=0&make=14&model=G37&year=2009&graphicID=3846130&callout=5&catalogid=2&displayCatalogid=0

What items would I be looking at if this is an option? Switch assembly and dvd unit?

Thanks for your help...Sorry if I am asking questions that already have been answered!!

Mark

Thanks guys for all the great info. Has anyone ever tried switching out the control units from an infiniti, or are you abe to purchase just the buttons anywhere. (For some reason, really want to have the english buttons!!

Looking at the kenwood conversion might be a great option!! Can the wring be set up to work of the existing "sat nav" button on the existing controls? Would like to look using existing buttons than installing a new one to act as the "switch" between the two?

Cheers

At the moment there aren't enough cars in Aus to warrant investing in the work to make it happen. My v36 is on a boat from japan at the moment, but hopefully the conversion will be available later this year.

Maybe andy65b has an update?

Thanks for this,

Might be a question for the importers, but are the cars shipped out of Japan as "infiniti's" actually thoses that were destined for the states? or are the just badged?

Also anyone out there who is doing the English conversions n the V36 yet?

Thanks again

Hi Mark,

Sorry to say but answer is no.

I've been looking for a solution as well, and unfortunately there's no easy way around it.

I did find a guy in the US though who bought a non-Nav G35 350GT sedan (V36) and he came up with a very good solution.

In short he installed a Kenwood touchscreen in the place of the factory unit. He also got a kenwood Nav system which he hooked up to the screen. The screen has multiple inputs, so he used a switch and input the factory system into one and the nav into another, so he cannot see both at the same time, but basically flicks a switch when he wants Nav and music, and flicks back when he wants ac controls and trip computer etc etc.

Looks like factory and you get an awesome Nav system.

Hi there,

New to the forum but have already gained some great knowledge. I am about to purchase a V36 370GT Coupe 2009 and bring it into Melbuorne. I have been looking at the various soloutions regarding the jap to eng conversions. My questions is that given the Inifiniti in the states is the same vehicle is it feasible to replace the controls and hardware to inifiniti parts??

Failing this is there anybody in Melbourne who can do the English conversion on this model. Would like to look at keeping original and not using thrid party equipment at the moment.

Thanks,

Mark
