New Here with a few questions

Hello Guys,

I just bought a 2011 G37 sedan. I love this car. I need to get a few things done to it like replace the clock light and other things. But my big question is the bluetooth audio streaming. Everything I see online says that if its a 2011 with the nav unit it should work. I have the big screen is that the nav unit? I have no bluetooth audio stream options so I am wondering if I have the nav unit version. Do the non nav unit ones have the LCD screen as well? Is the only way to stream music if I buy a cable to attach? My podcasts and books are all I listen to and I need them and cannot figure out how to play my phone through my car. Thanks guys for any help, or suggestions. Glad to finally join the G club

You have Nav if the lower left most button on the screen array says "map"

Yes, non Nav cars still come with screens.

All the late model G's ("09-up?) have Bluetooth and audio streaming capability. The Nav / non-Nav models don't have any bearing on that. Welcome to the G-club, enjoy the ride!

A friend of mine just picked up a 2010 without navigation. Bluetooth stream is NOT an option. Also, it doesn't work with his SG4, but only iPhone and iPods. Hopefully he's not too bummed out about it. Told him to pick up an iPod from Craigslist

What do you mean it doesnt work with Samsung Galaxy S4 if I have one myself and it works fine ? It was a bit of a PITA to get it figured out at first how to get the audio streaming but it does work tell him to play around with the bluetooth settings.. on the top right of the screen where the icon for bluetooth connection is should say 2 not 1... 1 is going to be only the connection for phone audio (phone calls) and 2 means 2 connections - phone audio (phone calls etc.) as well as media audio (music streaming)

I stated he does NOT have navigation, therefor no Bluetooth audio streaming - only Bluetooth voice calls. I was referring his GS4 not working via USB also.
