Hello I'm not sure if you still use this site but I ordered this off of eBay for my 2009 G37 and it's not working. My iPhone 6 is pairs to both the car and NFC but the when the car is in AUX mode nothing plays weather the car is moving or not. I have it hooked up exactly like your picture. How do you get the music to play through the car? Please help!

I have a 2008 coupe and was looking into a Bluetooth conversion since I'm upgrading the the iPhone 7 soon and ditching the headphone jack. What I was thinking was using that weird iPod connector thing the '08s have so i could use the steering wheel controls to change songs and not have to use another port to charge the Bluetooth device as well. A quick search for "iPod to Bluetooth adaptor" will give you tons of 30pin to Bluetooth converters. Haven't bought yet but seems like a sound idea on paper.

I have found the perfect solution to play music from your Iphone through your bluetooth without losing music quality for Gs with the RCA cable ports. For my 08 coupe, I bought the 1) Griffin iTrip Bluetooth Car Kit Aux -Free for Cars with 3.5 mm Aux Input and a 2) 3.5 Aux plug to dual RCA male plug Y Audio Stereo Cable. This entire setup cost me under $40 total.
I've had this setup for the past 7 months and have enjoyed it ever since. The music sound quality/fidelity is as good as playing directly from a music source such as a CD. I was frankly amazed at the sound quality. I play music from Pandora, Spotify, Youtube and saved music on my Iphone 6.
The only minor critique I have is that when a new song plays, sometimes there is a split second when you hear a transitioning sound--a sound best described as a speeding up of the sound for a split second. This is a minor glitch for the great sound quality and a reliable product. I've had no problems at all and have kept the system plugged in for the entire 7 months. In addition, the Griffin has a lifetime warranty--at least when I purchased it in January 2017 directly from Griffin on Ebay. Below is a video I found of someone who has this setup.
By the way, I first tried the Coolstream Duo which which had such poor sound quality that I returned it.
This is one of the best things I've found for our Gs. You will be thanking me later.

Hello all,
Just got my liquid platinum 2009 G37 over the weekend! I was wondering if anyone had tried using the Griffin adapter or any other bluetooth adapter to stream videos on a non-nav G37. I see some on eBay that have both audio and video capabilities, but wanted to see if they work and, if they do, get an idea of the quality.

Thanks Vannatte! I'll check out the Griffin and report back, its only $20 on eBay, so not a huge investment. This will be my first mod to the car!
When I got my car I had to choose between two 2009 G37 Sedans, both were the same price at $12k.
The first was liquid platinum, 58k miles, base model with only the sunroof option.
The second was obsidian black, 90k miles, premium package and sport package.
I ended up getting the liquid platinum base model because the miles were so low, it was practically brand new. It looks like if I get this bluetooth adapter and upgrade my suspension, I'll have most of the specs that I really wanted from the premium and sport packages. No need for heated seats here in Houston. I do have to use my garage remote like an animal, instead of the integrated homelink, but I guess I can live with that.

Yeah, my understanding was that the premium package comes with bluetooth calling, but not bluetooth audio.
I do have an extra RCA converter that I can use, its a little long but it'll be out of sight in the armrest so I don't think its an issue.
Thanks for the advice about the rearview mirror, I didn't know you could just buy the mirror with the buttons and have it work. I'll definitely look into that further.

Don't quote me 100% on the Homelink mirror, but I am fairly confident. I did the same thing on a Saab 9-3 and it worked flawlessly. I also had to wire up the Homelink in my 09 Infiniti because someone had cut it or damaged it during a windshield replacement so that was a fun experience.

A free adapter that is not being used is a good option too! I just tried to get as short of one as I possibly could to conserve space in the already tight console (6 inch I think). I'm super happy with the way it turned out.

The sound quality is perfect. But if you are going to listen to phone calls through this adapter, don't buy the Griffin. Only music streaming is possible. Return it back.
