Bluetooth

I have a 2008 G37S with no navigation system. I currently have an iPhone but am considering going with the Samsung Galaxy S 5. After checking the infiniti website for Bluetooth compatibility, it does not specify if the Galaxy S 5 is compatible or not. The earlier version 4S is.

Does anyone know if the new 5S is compatible with the car?

Thanks

Thanks Serega. What year is your wife's G? Does it have a navigation system or is it without like mine? I just want to make sure all the variables are the same if I should go this route.

Thanks again.

Thanks. Sounds like the 5S is another good option

I have a 2010 G37 Journey Package with Nav. I wanted Bluetooth streaming in my car but wanted the info to pop on the screen as well. I have conquered this problem by purchasing 2 products off Amazon. The first thing I purchased as anyone know has been looking into this problem knows is the Tune2Air Bluetooth Adapter. I have done a lot of research and this item is one of a kind. but the problem i ran into is that my Ipod adapter is compatible to power the adapter so i purchased the CableJive dockStubz adapter off amazon as well. so I have a Micro usb plugged into the Cablejive adapter which power the Tune2Air adapter. this setup works GREAT. I stream Spotify and the nav picks up the info and displays all info. 2 minor problems i have encountered is when connected to wifi and playing music when leaving home the music will skip. Quick fix is that i turn off Wifi before starting the car and all is fine. Last problem I have encountered is occasionally i have to seen when the dispaly will say no song but play the music. quick fix is to open the ipod app (now called "music" on iphones) and play a song just to get the info on the screen and then go back to Sportify and problem fixed. I also bought the Iottie magnetic dock for my car and I love that as well. allows quick docking and undocking for my Iphone 6 Plus, here are some pics of my set up. THIS SET UP HAS BEEN TESTED WITH IPHONE 6 PLUS AND A GALAXY S 5 and both work!!!

I can confirm that on the S5 and IPhone 6 plus steering wheel controls worked perfectly and there is no lag when using them and playing music.

thanks for the reply. i'm looking into the Tune2Air and am seeing on this forum that some are unable to get the Tune2Air to work with non-navi g37's, which i have. wondering why it would work for your navi g37 but won't with non-navi g37

I have seen a lot in the threads that say certain things. I've seen people say that you need a 3rd part called a Scoche passport charging adapter and when i purchased it i found that it wasnt needed at all. I've also seen people didnt need the CableJive adapter as well. i originally purchased the Tune2Air and Scoche adapter but that didnt work in my car and then I purchased the CableJive and ended up returning the Scoche adapter because it wasnt necessary for my set up. I've also seen that people have said that the Android phone didn't work with the Tune2Air but it worked when I tested it. I have also heard people say that the Tune2Air works once then stops or malfunctions. I have had mine for about a month and no problems. I honestly just decided that i will just attempt to do it. I figured if it didnt work i would just return all of it. I would rather exhaust all options before settling on using a cheap bluetooth adapter that didnt give any info or settling for using the AUX cord in the vehicle. That was my take on it.

I tried the tune2air with my iphone 6 and it wouldn't work at all. I tried it with the scoshe adapter, cable jives adapter, combination of both, I tried everything. Even different infiniti cables. Never worked. Was in contact with a rep from tune2air and he couldn't figure out what the problem was. So I returned it.

does your g37 have nav? i'm wondering now if tune2air doesn't work with non-navi g37 for some reason? at least that's the impression i get while going through the threads here..tune2air works with nav equipped g37's only.
