Some tech questions

I was reading the manual and it says that our G has tire pressure monitor; assuming the interface like my 06' M45, I looked under "Info" and didn't find any tire pressure info there. Do we have psi pressure on the screen like the M? or just a "!" sign popping up on the cocpit whenever the tire pressure is low?

Also, I tried Voice Commanding the climate control e.g. "Temperature 70". It doesn't recognize my command, is that command even available? Thanks guys!

Our system only gives you a warning when the pressure is 10 pounds (I think) low in the message center, it doesn't give you the actual pressure readings. That sucks because my wifes company vehicle is a crappy GM product (Chevy Equinox) and it gives you pressures.

Regarding the voice commands, you probably have the "simplified" list which Infiniti changed to sometime in September I think that takes away most of the useful ones. Now the only control you have over climate control is to turn it on or off; you cannot change temperature of driver or passenger via voice control.

Welcome to the ripped off feeling we all have who really wanted these and didn't get them. To make it worse, I test drive the car with them and ordered mine. Imagine my disappointment when my car gets here without them because Infiniti "simplified" our lives.

Yep, we got ripped off....

I am still trying to find a way to re-enable the mising stuff. It has to be a flash, I mean what are they going to do when someone who has it already gets a part failure and needs the part that controls it replaced? Are they going to tell them to bad?

i came from a 350z and the trip computer displayed the tire pressure... imagine my surprise when the car that costs more than my Z couldn't..

Oh man, that sucks for you. I don't understand why Infiniti took all the essentials out. All their nav and voice command OS are the same. They should've kept all the features.

It was done to "simplify' the systems and make it more user friendly for owners according to Infiniti. Apparently their focus group for making this decision was the stupidest most technically challenged 10% of Infiniti owners.
