Update:
I can now take "screen shots" of anything that is on the nav display and saves it on a USB device.
So... here are a few screen shots of some new menu items:
YES, the tire pressure screen can be easily turned on!!
It is kind how odd that the wheel positions are not labeled.
BUT through testing it looks to be (from top to bottom) front left, front right, rear right and rear left.
Just think about getting out of the car, and checking your tires in a clockwise direction.
Also, there is a "Trip Computer"... not really all that interesting, but some may like it. (I do!)
That's all for now!

2010 was the first year for the "08IT" av/nav unit used in MANY Nissan and Infiniti vehicles.
They have the same firmware/software, just the configuration if different.

I am doing everything I know to try and get the GTR style TPMS screen... it just isn't showing up.
The GTR uses a different TPMS system. It has 4 RF receivers (one at each wheel) and a dedicated module on the CAN bus. The G37 has one RF receiver and uses the BCM for CAN communication.
I am in the process of trying to figure out the CAN bus communication differences, then see if I can trick the system to get it to show up on the INFO menu.
Worst case, at least we have something to show tire pressure, BUT I really want the GTR's TPMS screen with the "flattened 4 door pic"

My next step is start working on the CAN bus "converter" module (G37 CAN bus to MFD gauges) to feed the GTR MFD gauges with the G37 live data.
After work, I will start to assemble the first prototype, then start programming it
As for your 2014 head unit, I do have a drive image from a 2013 G37 (X9U) which is the same as your 14 Q60 unit.
I am going to pickup a few SSDs and HDDs to test/verify that the re-image process works. As the cars get old, we are going to need this!
Could you do me a favour?
Go into the nav diagnostic menu, go to versions, and make note/take pic of all the versions.
Thanks in advance.

I think i mentioned it before but this SSD is confirmed working. (I tried several MSATA to IDE adapters and none of them worked)
I posted the drive images on my Mega too, there is a 14 Q60 image (From the drive ILM-NC G37S sent me)

Since you car is an 08 G37, I'm not sure what screens/gauges will work on the Q60 Nav unit.
From a CAN bus perspective, the 08 G37 is more 07/08 HR than 09+ VHR.
This means that some items (like engine oil temp, trans temp, etc) are not broadcast on the CAN bus, so they can't be re-directed to the GTR gauges.
I know it is a long shot, but do you have access to anything that can record your CAN bus?
