Hello- I am in the market for a 2008 g37s. I came across this guy the other day who is selling his 2008 g37s with 10k miles for under $29k. It's an auto w/ every option except for NAV. I really like the car and even more the price but NAV is extremely important to me. I know I could buy a $400 garman at bestbuy and call it quits but it's just not the same. I'd prefer to have 1 interface. In any case, do you guys have any suggestions. Is the in dash NAV really worth it? What other features am i missing without having the NAV? Have any of you installed aftermarket units?

Your help is much appreciated.

look up garmin gvn 53, it's a black box that can be hooked up to the factory lcd

Wow, I never even knew you could do that, I just might get that someday...although for now iPhone + Google maps works great for me.

you can actually get the iphone googlemaps and turn by turn to show up on the LCD and work as a gps as well, using the RCA jacks

i really wanted factory nav this time around to make things simpler but if you're saving $5-10k on a similar car with nav, it might definitely be worth it.

It's not worth it to me , I have every option but nav and if I ever need directions I got my I phone, save the extra cash

Wow...I didn't realize you could do that with a garmin and iPhone. Thanks for the great ideas everyone. I'll let you know the outcome.

Has anyone ever integrated the garmin gvn 53 with the g37?

g35driver has a few 2007 g35 that have intergrated the garmin with the factory lcd. I think there are 1-2 g37 that have done it as well...

With the help from you guys, I think i am going to pull the trigger on a used 2008 g37S.

The owner is asking $28k. It has roughly 11k miles, auto, all options minus NAV. Apparently the car is in great condition with no prior incidents (clean title). Based on my research on kbb (which estimates the car to be worth ~$32k), I realize this is a really good deal but is it too good to be true? Any thoughts?

Aren't all G37(S) manual anyway? You can't get an "auto" for G37s.
