Ouch! - 2009 G37 w/ premium pkg = no Bose?

Well, I have a 2008 G37 w/ the premium package and it did come with the Bose system with the dual Burr-Brown DSP, just like many high end aftermarket head units. Checking out the 2009 G37 w/ the premium package, it does not even have the Bose unit. What gives? If someone wants to go aftermarket and keep the stock HU they are stuck with whatever Infiniti puts in there?! The configuration says it comes with six speakers, my guess is that they come with a two way up front (4) and a rear fill in the back (2). Does the 2009 even have the 10" drivers in the doors?

C and P from Infiniti:

</IMG>Audio System

<SCRIPT language=JavaScript type=text/javascript>addGroup("accordionGroup_11")</SCRIPT>Six-speaker audio system with AM/FM radio, CD player with MP3 playback capability, Radio Data System (RDS) and auxiliary audio input jack
XM® Satellite Radio
Dual in-glass diversity antennas. The radio tuner compares the signal strength of both antennas, and automatically selects the strongest signal.

Are you sure that's the premium package? Sounds like base package to me....could be wrong....

Here, look:



No 6-CD changer either, just like my G35. This configuration does not have the navigation package either. Bummer!!! I really hope this is an error on their website, or maybe this is a direct response to the economy. I wonder where else are they cutting corners...

From what you're showing me, the menu that you expanded is under "Standard Features" ....read the header of that section. Standard does not mean premium.

On the Infiniti site it still lists the 2008 G, not sure where you're seeing the 2009 info.
