Nope. That's not a thing for my car.

You know, I played with that idea years ago, using my #2 setting to pull the seat all the way back and up, with the wheel all the way in and up. But honestly, it takes too long and wasn't something I kept up with.

When I was a kid, I remember a friend's father had a Pontiac CanAm with swivel buckets. Shaker scoop, big block, serious muscle car.

In the auto trans cars, the driver's seat goes back and the wheel tilts up when you turn the car off (or open the driver's door, can't recall). Pretty sure the reason it isn't on MT6 cars is exactly as stated above - could pull your foot off the clutch.

Edit: Boo update speed. Yeah, what he said above LOL.

Detailed the engine bay last night. Definitely something you should so in the daytime so it's easy to catch the spots missed. This G37 build has me tackling things I've never done before like cleaning an engine bay. I was surprised how easy it was with just 30 minutes of minimal effort. Hopefully there is a product out there that restores the blackness on the engine cover.

Meguiars Endurance Tire Gel. I know it says "tire", but trust me on this one. You can pick it up at any auto parts store, or Walmart even.

As you turn off the car and open the door the seat moves back and the steering wheel moves up so it eases your exit out the car.
I really hope you weren't being sarcastic, I feel proud of that explanation

Nope. No sarcasm. I'm not familiar with this feature in the 7AT. Although it seems self-explanatory, and I do feel kind of deja vu about the topic.

Thanks! I'll give that a try after work.

LOL!! Its nifty because my garage is small, not much egress room on the left side of the garage, it makes it easier to get in and out of the car on that side. In my 911, what I thought was normal is now awkward as I wait while pressing the power seat button back to move me backward when I get out, and then forward when I get back in. Feels like I am a fatty in the movie Wall-E

Well I guess this explains why the MT seat controller didn't work then. Makes sense now

You could probably retrofit with an auto trans electronics deal and some sort of interrupt signal for the neutral switch coming out of the transmission, or parking brake, etc.

Hmm..

What did I do to my sedan today? Took Rochester's recommendation. Meguiars endurance tire gel. This stuff is the truth! Really happy with the result, brand new. Makes me feel like a pro. You might think it's pricey at 9 bucks. But a quarter sized dallop and you are good to go! Best 9 bucks spent! Thanks!! Now that Fuji emblem...

Yeah, but you would need the software as well. It's enabled by a setting under comfort and convenience in the nav sreen.

Found a sweet price on the infiniti parts website for the OEM accent light kit. Infiniti of Orland Park was selling it for a shocking price of $40. Originial price is $110. Now its back up to $75. Go figure. I like them. Wish it was brighter but its still a clean look.

I didn't even know there was such a thing as an OEM accent kit. I just added my own and wired to the BCM. Link?

Same. If it's OEM, then wouldn't there be a simple wire harness it plugs into? Kind of interested in knowing more about this OEM accent kit.

I've looked into it before, it's not plug and play, requires some hardwiring. Part number 999F3-Y2000 is you want to look into it.
