New gauges, they use a usb port instead of the cf port, new trim, they can play dvd's, they have a better resolution screen, they have a 2gb music box as standard for those without navi, reverse camera now standard for all models besides base, etc.. All the little things that should have been on our cars.

 

i must be a little old school. I am still not sure I like the touch screen for the radio. I still like the 05 dash.

 

That's lame. I use the CF card for music more than anything else.

I do like the new gauge cluster lcd screen though.

 

where is the usb port?

 

I don't like fingerprints over my screen but you can select any field with the multi-function rotary controller thingy directly and easily. And most of the fields with the thumb-rocker switch on the steering wheel. The improved resolution is very nice though - the screen looks smooth and not pixelated.

I do like the central display on the cluster being blue rather than red to match the gauges.

I had a NAV update and the drealer used the CF card slot for the upgrade. Maybe a CD now?

 

or... I don't know... since it's USB... a thumb drive?

 

now the dealer will slide the DVD and record it in. you can watch dvd's in park now from the single cd/dvd slot

 

2009 G37x Coupe uses those dials for the seat heaters.

Torn on the aluminum. Think overall I like the 2009's aluminum trim, but it wouldn't exactly be a deal breaker to have the 2010's. Same with the gauges, after seeing this I like the 2009's gauges more but I wouldn't be upset if I had the 2010's. Just from the photos the resolution of the LCD screen looks nice. Neutral about the slight change of shape to the center console.

 

Hey da mayor, do you think they can update a non nav G to play dvd's also? I would really LOVE to be able to play dvd's.

 

nope, the non-nav only has the software to download commercial cd's, not to read a dvd.

i never sit in the car and watch any dvd's anyways....

 

Would it be possible to upgrade to the higher res nav screen and/or blue/white gauges in my '08 6MT at some point?

 

New Nav looks nice, but my '09 gauges look way better!!!

 

Maybe it's me, but the dash looks a bit like the M-B dash now. But I like it...wonder if I can swap clusters

 

Maybe this is supposed to be more "sophisticated," but I see it as simply less interesting.
