Yes Bullitt was correct. I got mine working also (G35S with Nav). In our cars, we have ot use the connection off the 6 disk changer, so it was a little difficult to locate. I also verified that the XM nav traffic does work, and that all the information is displayed on the screen (as Bullitt's pictures already showed).

On a slightly different subject.... Anyone else get a refurbished unit from Grubbs? I was ready to call and !@#$@ until I realized that mine had an active subscription still

I posted a mini DIY for my G35. There really isn't much to it. Your connection is located somewhere completely different (trunk floor, right side), but the pics might give you some idea what to look for.

DIY on g35driver

If you have any specific questions someone can probably answer them for you.

Does XM traffic need to still be purchased or does Sirius have a common traffic that will work with our system?

Sirius has a traffic service, but I have no idea if it works. I would assume that it wouldn't, but I don't know enough about how each broadcasts the info, or how Infiniti uses it to say one way or the other.

Well, if they have a traffic service then I hope that it will function since the NAV obviously functions with the Sirius adapter. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Guys, I just called Grubbs today. I have a G37S with NAV and Tech packages. And according to a representative from Grubbs, if you install this Sirius radio, then your CD player will not work. CAN SOMEONE CONFIRM/DISCONFIRM this?? (Since I have a NAV, I do not have a 6-disc in dash cd changer because, I only have a single disk player. 6-disc in dash is replaced by 9.3GB HDD)

Bullitt, can you confirm this???since you have it installed...

The guy from Grubbs is slightly confused. On the G35 you lose the 6 disk changer that they put in the trunk with the Nav package. I believe the G37s don't get the trunk changer, so you don't lose anything. From what the G37 guys have said the connector you are looking for is not actually plugged into anything, it's just sitting there.

yes, 08 G37s does not have a six disc changer.

I confirmed that you DO NOT LOSE the in dash CD player...put a CD in and it played as normal.

Dont listen to the folks at hte Stealership...they are just oil change monkeys...

Nice!What kind of antenna will work with that radio unit?I noticed they have only one on their website and its $60!?That's a ridiculous price. Anyone knows where to get a compatible kind?

This is HUGE!!!! I can't wait to dump XM as well. Any reception probs with the ant on the deck? I tried this in another car and reception was spotty. Sucks that the ants are not interchangeable...
