Hi, I am considering the v37 2009 model and understand from reading here that you can't get the navi working or maps for it here. I was looking at the Aus infiniti coupe and it looks to be visually the same navi unit. Has anyone checked the part number and cost of this unit so that it could just be retrofitted to the import and has anyone tried inserting the Aus spec dvd into the import to see if it will read it? Just curious if this is an option and have not seen it discussed.

I had someone in Sydney ring me in this today. It's NOT a direct swap.

You need to change:

Buttons

Controller for butttons,

screen

Navi control unit

Main radio button panel

and roughly $10k in cash.

Max,

tis fine . most people CBF'd reading and prefer to be spoon fed :-)l

All I want is to disable the VSS wires on the foot ("hand") brake from disabling the AUX screen. My 2007 V36 Sedan has the AUX video and Audio inputs in the centre console, so using video out on a phone should be enough for us Navi owners ?

I have seen tutorials of the US car having the handbrake video disabled, but the wires are apparently diferent colours ?

Im thinking of getting a v36 non navi for my next car. I am just wanting to know if the stereo is able to connect to an iPod properly and listen to fm radio via an expander and have it being usable? Thanks for any advice

The FM expander works regardless.

What do you mean when you say "work properly" in reference to your iPod? Are you talking about just line level/aux audio input or having full control of your iPod from the OEM stereo controls?

A quick note to those finding this in google.

Calling me , getting me to look at the car and then requesting all the part numbers to do the nav swap on a 2011 v36 because you think you can get the parts your self is outright rude. I am not a charity and I will not think twice about calling you out on it.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
