Tire Pressure? Actual digital numbers?

For the life of me, I cannot find actual tire pressure numbers on any digital readout in my 2013. I came from an FX which did have this. I've gone through the manual, all the menus, can't seem to find anything that tells me if I can get an actual pressure of each tire while moving.

I'm assuming they dumbed it down and just went to a warning when they're too low. I went looking for a menu option after realizing how easy it is to break the rears loose on hard acceleration in three gears. Just wanted to see if the pressure had been set too high. But no luck!

Unfortunately, Infiniti decided to not include actual tp readings, just low like you said.

It pisses me off that my dad's old M35S had it in 2007 but my 08' G37S doesnt...

Almost every car has it now. Except Infiniti. At least the brand new ones have it. Welcome to 2004 Infiniti!

Are there updates available for the "infotainment" system for the 2013 G37? Not map updates, updates to the actual software.

I'd be interested in knowing that as well. I may stop by the dealer Monday to find out. I keep on getting weather alerts despite the fact it hasn't rained in at least two weeks and it's been in the 70's and low 80's the whole time.

I'm pretty sure the weather alerts come from Sirius XM. The only time I got one was when I had a free trial. You might try removing and adding the car's system (XM Radio ID) from your Sirius XM account.

LOL

Dear Nissan/Infiniti,

Infiniti is the "luxury" brand - it should get the new tech first, then it should trickle down to Nissan. not the other way around. WTF

^^^ What he said!

This is not the first or only time something like this has happened. It seems that Maxima or even Altima get new features and technology that Infiniti models only get later on. If at all!

I believe that someone in charge over there truly doesn't get it. Have you ever seen or heard of a Camry having stuff that the ES350 doesn't? No. Honda being more teched and luxuried out than Acura? Nope. Features on a base model 370Z that aren't found in the Premium model G37? You betcha!

Pull your heads out of your butts Infiniti! You're embarrassing yourself.

There are few exceptions for Honda/Acura. Accord and Civic have the lane watch feature which is not available on Acura. Also the new Civic has the heated rear seat that I don't think is available on the ILX or TLX. Maybe they want to have more consumers to test the feature before promote them to the luxury brand (which I think it does not make sense)

Yep, I have a 2007 FX and this fall also got a '13GxS
One of the first things I noticed (besides the improved accel) was the dummed-down TPMS. Bummer.

It's on the M/Q70 .... while it's a good guide and instant info, I think everyone regardless of the car needs a good tire gauge in the glove box as the accurate "go to" for tire pressure.

I don't disagree with that, but that's not the point. A TPMS system is next to useless without indicating which tire is low and how low. Stop charging me for it as a premium feature on a luxury car when econo-boxes have a better system for half the price.

Real luxury is being able to inflate/deflate the tires with the push of a button on our console. Unfortunately, we don't even have vented seats.
