You can do something like that on my mom's Lexus.
On her car:
You have to hold the "Info" button while turning the headlights on/off 3 times.
This bring you to a diagnostic screen where there is a button to test the backup camera.

It's probably a similar thing for the G37.

someone else found this out and posted so i dont wanna take the credit, but forgot his s/n... there was a thread i think. Either case:

Turn Radio power off, while holding the SETTINGS button down, turn the Radio TUNE dial in one direction untill a menu pops up. From ther you can go to Confirmations/Adjustments or something and then find the camera.

Only sucky thing is, radio has to be turned off

I hope that is right, i dont have my G on me right now, but i just know how to do it when its all in fronta me in the car

Saw it on another post, but I've been having fun with it, and I'm sure most of you already know about it but I figured I'd add it in here. Hold the unlock on your key fob and the window's go down, but you have to keep holding it for them to go down all the way.

Anyone know of any rain sensors on the car to close up sunroofs and such when you leave it popped up and parked?

There's no way of setting the camera to work in reverse w/o first shutting off the radio? In other words, is there not a setting in the controls where it will automatically go to reverse camera when you put it in reverse, shutting off the radio automatically and then turning itself back on when you put it in drive???

No I believe they want to view the camera while not in reverse, the camera automatically goes on in reverse.

You have to perform the hush, hush, mod that no one can post about online first, then you can change anything and do anything while driving with your nav. I figure if you want to know, show up to a meet and let someone give you the info there. That way theres no e-paper trail.

Maybe it is not hot and humid where he lives, that is why he can't tell the difference.

so to avoid future staring contests with bums, anyone know how u can disable that thing while your car is in the "acc" position?
I think that is a problem with your girlfriend, not the car.

2. The G37 automatically disengages the air conditioning compressor at full throttle. While deriving around with the A/C on full blast I realized that at WOT the air temperature would rise and become very humid. I did a little reading and found out that many cars share this feature.
I locked my keys in the trunk yesterday. Intentionally. 3 times just to make sure. Doors were all closed but not locked. Did your trunk lid just not latch when you closed it or what, because mine closed just like normal.

Still have yet to have the A/C compressor cut off at WOT in any gear. Do you have an AT or MT? I have 6 MT and it most definately does NOT cut off at WOT.

Which one of our cars is weird???
