I'm seeing a number of used 2009 models, and the specs listed for sale list '6 speakers', which would suggest to me this vehicle does not have the premium package. Yet, I see the three buttons on the drivers side door for remembering seat/mirror position, which would suggest to me that it DOES have the premium package.

How can I visually determine if a vehicle listed for sale is does have the 'premium package' (and necessarily the 11 speaker system).

I also thought having the navigation system required the premium package, can I use this a a proof positive indicator?

 

This is what comes with a premium coupe:

Premium Package RWD: Power sliding glass moonroof with one-touch open/close feature; Bose® Infiniti Studio on WheelsTM audio system with Burr Brown Digital Audio Converter, Interface System for iPod®; driver seat, steering wheel and outside mirror memory system; steering wheel/outside mirror synchronization; 2- way power adjustable driver lumbar support; power tilt/telescoping steering column; automatic anti-glare rearview mirror; HomeLink® Universal Transceiver; Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System; heated front seats and door mirrors; compass in rearview mirror

Obvious things to look for are the moonroof, memory seating on the door, little **** on the side of the steering column for the power adjustment, heated seat ***** in the console, and a bluetooth button on the steering wheel. If you can see the rearview mirror there should be buttons on it for HomeLink.

 

There's seems to be a lot of different options for the newer models. I've seen the sport package without the sunroof. Weird!

 

Actually the easiest would be just to see if it have a sunroof or not. Sunroof comes with the Premium package, and you can't get Sunroof separately.

And yes navigation package requires premium as well.

Also, any G37 Coupe with any packages cannot be the base model(so it will be Journey, AWD, or Sport). Because you can't add any options on base.

 

Check for bose grilles on the door speakers and rear shelf. Also, the seats should have electronic lumbar support.

 

You mean theres 2 door coupes without the roof? I thought all coupes had roofs, but the sedan was optional.

 

Haha nope. There is something called the "G37 coupe base model". which doesn't have anything at all including the roof.

No roof, No bose, No navi, No rear view camera, No heated/memory seats, No climate control, No Ipod, No harddive, No satellite radio, No bluetooth, No voice recognition, No homelink, No auto on-off headlights, and That Sir is the base model.

 

No climate control!!!! wtf?? Thats mad wierd. Even the base model Maximas have climate control and sunroofs and auto on/off headlights. Damn I guess Nissan wants its customers to pay for all the amenties in the luxury division. Don't get me wrong though a fully loaded G is still great for the $$$$$

 

What is outside mirror wheel synchronization???

 

It's the seat memory button. Which will remember not only the seat position, but the outside mirror and wheel height as well. Also, they will be automatically adjust themselves to the memory when you open the door of the car. Nice little feature.

 

Love this feature have it on my car. My dad uses my car from time to time and he is so short he has to be so much closer to the wheel with a higher seat position than I do, lol. This makes life soo much easier. He has his key and I have mine.

 

check the drivers door for memory seats. check for bose speakers

 

check for the iPod interface in the center console for the 2009's... non-premium package didn't have it.
the steering wheel would be a manual adjustment

dont look for the moonroof -- there are a few that you can get the moonroof a la carte

 

The easiest giveaway is the **** on the steering wheel for electric adjustment.
