Reversed audio controls?

So I picked up my 2008 G37S 6mt w/premium package about a week ago. I was using the audio controls with a CD and found out something really strange about the car:

The audio controls on both the steering wheel AND main dash unit are reversed!


Basically, whenever I have a CD in the car (or even using the radio), the controls to change the tracks and/or station are reversed. Pushing up on the steering wheel button and/or the track select button = change track down. Pushing down on the steering wheel button and/or the track select button = change track down.

With radio stations, pushing up = station change to the left while pushing down = changing to the right.

It's completely opposite any other car. The dealership said that it's the same as their demo, so I'm guessing it's the same all around?

Is this the same for everyone or is there some wiring issue in my car?

theres a reason as to wh they did this...its because on the screen the songs are in list view and u start gettin real used to how down correlates with songs going down the list, or forward, and up goes up the list, or back...

Im mad used to it and prefer it in the G now. Only drawback is you need to mentally switch back to "normal" audio controls when you drive your other cars.

haha it is real annoying, im kinda getting used to it, but I still forget about it every once in a while which bothers me. I have had the car for 4 months and its my daily driver.

Maybe in a slow learner? damn this brain.

I feel ya symalik, I get annoyed from time to time too. Oh well, it's small compared to the many great things I DO enjoy about the car.
