The other thing that bugs me is how sensitive the buttons on the FOB are.

1. Infiniti didn't want to spend the extra 35 cents to put a second usb port in the 2010 G37 Sedan. So if I want to listen to songs on both my ipod and usb stick, I have to unplug one and plug in the other.

2. The main rotary control **** requires chimpanzee arms to reach. Why couldn't they put it near the shifter like most other manufacturers? If us big american brutes have trouble reaching the ****, how do the shorter, smaller japanese do it?

3. So much wasted space on the "now playing" screen. Text is tiny, so why not fill it with bigger coverart or a track listing or something?

4. Gotta kinda slam the trunk down to close it, or else there is not enough force for it to catch. Twice i've found my trunk open in the morning. Maybe I can rectify this by buying a spoiler

5. Doors don't automatically lock and unlock when you're in/or leaving the vicinity. My POS chevy did it, so why can't a semi-luxury car do it?

6. I'm a skinny guy, and my butt still gets pinched by the sport seats on the widest setting.

1. You don't have a iPod connector? My 09 has it, I'd think the 2010 would too...

2. What rotary **** are you talking about? Like the volume ****? Just use the steering wheel controls Or if you mean the **** to control treble/bass are you really using it that much?

3. I agree, but I never use it since it's always on status or map

4. The spoiler must make a huge difference, I don't have to slam it at all, it closes easily

5. That would be nice, I've never had a car with that so I don't have anything to miss thankfully lol

6. Really? I am 6'2" 200lbs and don't get pinched at all

1. 2010 loses the ipod cable and cf slot and replaces it with a single usb port.

2. I'm talking about the main rotary **** with the directional buttons on it. The one right underneath the LCD screen. Ever try scrolling through 160gb of music with the wheel mounted controls? The rotary **** is absolutely essential if you don't want to spend an eternity scrolling through a large list.

It's not normal behavior, it's a recall. See my post above (#134.)

Even though he was talking about something else, personally I use that tuning/treble/bass **** a lot because it's the only way to tune XM stations one-at-a-time. The steering wheel controls don't do that, they jump around between categories. So you have to either use presets or the tuner. That is a bit annoying actually.

Keyfob. That's what you call an electronic key device that's not really a key in the classical sense.

wow, that was a stupid move on Infiniti's part to take out the iPod connection cable. sorry man

OOOOOOh ok, I wasn't thinking about that. Yeah, it is a little far away. I RARELY use that, I've got a 120 GB iPod but I just leave it on "shuffle all" 99% of the time so I am never searching through music

Just use the ipod cable that came with the ipod, the good thing is that it charges it now.

Yes I know that. But if you read my post above, my complaint is that they only included 1 usb port, when it would cost literally pennies to add another, and allow one more source to be used (USB drive)

Yea, the car is loud when everything is open. But even when everything is closed, it's not very quiet. A better insulation from road noise would have been great.

I hate how the seats vibrate when I stop at red lights with AC on. It feels cheap somehow.

Mine don't do that. Unless I put a quarter in first.

Haven't felt that yet on mine. It shouldn't do that. Maybe something got loose somewhere, you should check it out on your next maintenance
