Fresh off the purchase of an '09 G37 this afternoon...very excited. I did get the base package, so no nav or iPod connectivity But it was a great deal, so not complaining much.

Questions I have:

1) Most effective way to hook my first gen iPod touch. I guess it'll have to be the RCA connectors in the arm rest? I also assume this means no control of the iPod with the car's audio controls.

2) Is there a way add bluetooth to the system myself? Is there a blue tooth adapter via RCA?

Thanks!

 

Check out the directusnav thread we created.. it's a ll in one solution with nav, backup camera, wifi, etc.

You wil need to purchsae the wifi, backup camera,bluetooth stuff seperately..

 

Welcome and congratulation on your new G.
Not sure about the bluetooth, but you can get the factory iPod cable from infiniti or try ebay. Here is a link just so you can see what you will need.
The RCA connections are for video I believe. There should also be another connection next to the RCA jacks. Unless base models did not come with it. Not sure since I have a 2010, so I have the USB port.

You will be able to control the touch from your radio, but it will not charge it. Only the older iPods charge since apple change from firewire to usb charging.
I believe there is an adapter you can use though from another brand. Not sure if it was Schosche. You can search for it on here.

 

Thanks for the responses.

I don't see anything other than the 3 RCA jacks and lighter adapter hole...

 

If you would have the ipod plug in port it would be right above the the RCA connectors. Do you have the Bose sound system? If not thats why you might not have the ipod port?

Your best bet to use an ipod would be to get one of theses and have a local shop install it, could cost a lot

and one more thing you could do, to use your rcas while driving you could bypass your Ebrake enabling the use of the "AUX" while driving. Then you would only need to buy a simple RCA (red/White) to 3mm pin (AUX). Go to other sites to find how to bypass the ebrake dont try and make a thread on here asking how to do it.
