I pulled the information below from the owner's manual (Page: 4-36).
It appears as though the file limits are based on your audio options.
The 512 limit only applies to vehicles with the navigation system -- such as mine
CF Card Folder levels
With navigation system:
Folder levels: 8, Folders: 255 (including root folder), Files: 512 (Max. 255 files for one folder)
Without navigation system:
Folder levels: 8, Folders and files: 999 (Max. 255 files for one folder)

You only get the CF slot with the Navigation package.

I'm just shocked by the many inconsistencies/limitations with the audio system.
It seems like for each work-around/detour there's another road block.
Oh well, my next approach will be to use my iPod and multiple CF cards.
I would go exclusively with the iPod, but I have a long bus commute and I rotate my iPod from the car to bus (via my backpack) when I remember to grab it.

The online manual I'm looking at only mentions CF with Nav.

Iko, I'm using an electronic version of the Infiniti's Owners Manual that came with my car. If you have your hard copy near by check page 4-36 - Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems manual.
My comments are from the specification chart - folder levels section.
When I get home tomorrow, I'll provide a link to the electronic version for anyone interested.
I found the link to the Owners manual: 2008 Infiniti G37 Owners Manual
If the link fails here is the address: http://www.g37-tech.com/files/2008-infiniti-g37-om.pdf

I used the online manual from the Infiniti website.

I unlocked the PDF and did a copy/paste.

Page 4-34 has almost no content.
c If there is a file in the top level of the disc,
ªRoot Folderº is displayed.
c The playback order is the order in which the
files were written by the writing software, so
the files might not play in the desired order.

Iko, maybe I'm missing something. I'm not questioning whether the CF reader is a Nav only option.
My message was to share information from the owners manual regarding the file limits on the CF reader.
DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER!!!

If you look at the page closely, it could be said these are the specs for all formats, not just CF. So, a data CD with burned MP3 would have limitations that are different depending on whether Nav is installed or not.

I noticed the same thing in regards to the media type(s) in question.
Hey, don't get me wrong - I LOVE the car, but some of the decisions surrounding the audio feature set just drives me crazy!!
