370z roadster Navi upgrade....

I checked out the info for the new 370z roadster and it seems that they've updated the software in the navigation system, which is cool, but not cool because I don't have it. They've added XM weather along with a Bluetooth music interface and what appears to be a USB media interface. The CF card is still present. The screens seem a bit sexier too. And I can only pray that the FULL voice command has been restored. We need to look into the possibility of upgrading our software to this new version because I HIGHLY doubt there are any hardware changes besides the possible USB jack which may or may not just be a change to the iPod connector/cable. It also could make use of the empty connector thats unused on the right side of the headunit, in which case I'm sure we could fab up a USB Connection harness and mount the receptacle or hopefully get the wire from Nissan provided its not integrated into the main harness. The only down side I could see is that the startup splash screen would have a Nissan logo instead of an Infiniti logo. Then again, the 2010 G may have this update as well but that remains to be seen. All I know is that when the Roadster comes out this summer we need to find one and rip it apart. I want an update!

Weather is likely through XM, not sure if it is an additional charge like Traffic but it looks awesome! Would be even cooler to have radar on there with motion.

Did the little birdie mention anything about the 08-09 G?

no updates due to the system being different... just like the earlier G37's have the full voice recognition (which I rarely use anyways) versus the new version.

thats why they come out w/ new toys every other year. at least the G37's are holding their values well to trade up when the new features come out.

I haven't heard anything yet, put im 99% sure they are using the XM Nav-weather feature.. as far as radar, select Acura vehicles now offer "doppler" styled radar maps that can be displayed on your navigation screen..

wow that is pretty sick. I'm sure all of the hardware is the same, and that this is just a simple software/firmware upgrade.

Can any dealer on the board clarify whether or not this can be upgraded to from a G?

I bet this makes it into the 2011 G. At that point it would be a more realistic swap...

The dealer isnt going to sell any kind of service pack upgrade or anything...

The weather is through XM weather, its an additional fee per month, just like Nav Traffic is. It would definatley be sweet to have though. I'd like to upgrade my system to that too.

Unless it also has a weather radar map, I couldnt justify paying a fee when I can get the same thing on my Blackberry for free. Hopefully its more accurate than XMTraffic too...
