Information overload- Admin help

I'm feeling very old and stupid at the moment. I bought a 2012 G37 Journey and have a variety of questions.(Keyfob,Music streaming solutions,how to hunt some parts) type stuff.
I’m unsure how to go about this properly (Even after reading sticky’s)

Can I get a Forum mentor to drop me a PM for help please.

Congrats on your 2012 G37 Journey and welcome to the site! I'm not an Admin or a Mentor and I barely pass as a parent, LOL. Lots of good info on this forum. The search feature is useful. Hopefully, you got two good FOBs with your purchase, a lot of us use a B/T adapter to stream music (I went with TaoTronics), and besides the Vendor Directory listing you can search this site for the part to include the reviews to see if it meets your purpose. Again, welcome.

Welcome to the site! The best way that I've found for searching for info is use google and then post myG37 after the search item. As an example, "Music Streaming issues myG37", hope that helps and I know there's a lot to absorb around here, but starting in the more specific folders is a good place to start.

Quick reply

I didn’t even consider the fobs when buying. Not until the day I went to pick up. 1 fob I got him to lower price...I’ll have to deal with it. Then I got home and opened the fob to find an uncut key. I’ll need a 2nd for sure. And 2 cut keys.

I will I’ll be looking up the BT adapter you mentioned. I tried to connect my usb cord but didn’t fit. I’m not even sure what the usb does if a usb doesn’t fit. Or it does fit and I’m...old.

I will I’ll be ordering a cpl trim pieces... shifter and inside door trim is worn out.

The driver door door hangs about 2mm low so it doesn’t affect the closing or sealing but... I’d like it to close more quiet and snug.

Gonna be looking for 2 rims... these two have some light damage. That seems simple to hunt down.

I have tried the search by prob need need to refine search to lessen the results. Is there a few years/packages where most parts and issues are the same?
like all 3009-2013 37 s,journey and x...have same... whatever

109k miles so I imagine I’ll be having some maintenance completed.

Funny... it took a while to find the gas door release...lol

again thanks for reply.

when searching, i generally use the advanced search, and change the search type to "search titles only" instead of "search entire posts"

The only cross year issue I can think of is the cam cover rear gasket issue affecting 2009 through 2011.

For the best search results, use googles little site search trick. In the search box on google, type in: myg37.com: what you.re looking for.

Lets say you wanted to find how to make your own grounding kit.

myg37.com: grounding kit

I didn't know that. I assumed both were VQ35 until 2009.
