Will adding Paddle shifters to non-sport G37 void warranty?

I called around and am getting conflicting information from dealers. Most say it can't be done, some are willing to do it.

You should be good to go since they're already wired for them, if it's a lease you may have to remove them before turning it back in though. The function of the vehicle hasn't been altered in any way so really shouldn't be any warranty issues.

as said above, the car comes pre-wired so it's only a matter of ordering the paddle shifters and installing. It's a direct bolt-on.

Most dealers probably wouldn't even know it's not supposed to have paddle shifters.

Sorry for being lazy, but there was thread with photos on How to Install the Paddle Shifters?? For the member who posted it, can you respond: Where did you get them, the cost $$, and DIY photos. I have a 2010 G37X non-sport, Can it be done that simply??

Riverside Infiniti is selling them on eBay, but I would think you can get it from just about any dealership.

all models come pre-wired for the paddles, the paddles are OEM and dont require any EXTENSIVE modifications (such as drilling or cutting)....its just a matter of taking out the steering wheel and putting it back.......so no it wont void warranty

I drive a G37 Sedan Journey 7AT. I am wondering if anyone in Houston will help me with the install, any dealership suggestions. If it was prewired and doesn't void the warranty, I think I am ready for this mod. Please suggest.

Not all models come pre-wired for the paddles

I know, I tried at Riverside Infiniti. My 2008 journey with premium package but without navigation was NOT pre-wired for paddles.

Do it yourself. No need to remove steering wheel ;-)

Jsut remove steerign wheel cover,very easy even for people who never touched car.
Then bolt on the paddle kit and connect.

Somewhere is DIY here.

Good luck
