2010 stock nav upgrade with iphone fix released
 

So i got an invitation to bring in my 2010 370z to the dealership as they have released a fix for all the iphone related issues (bluetooth, phonebook etc). They have also apparently fixed other issues in the nav.

Has anyone done this yet? Is it just a drop in dvd upgrade?

Haven't done it yet...but am excited to hear this was released :tup:

How did you get the "invitation"...mail? call? email?? Haven't heard anything from my dealer or Nissan...

I just called the dealer service department where I bought my car (Buena Park Nissan in SoCal). They looked up my VIN and said that I have the current system...yet my iPhone 3G w/ iOS4 doesn't completely work. The phone/bluetooth work, but the address book, iPod functions, etc. do not. Buena Park Nissan is more or less useless, so if there is any supporting information about this update...please pass that along....Thx.

Is this service under warranty or do you have to pay? My dealer is over 500 miles away if under warrant can I get this done at any dealer?

In for updates...

nissa update
 

Can anyone shed any light on this situation? I'm also having the same problem (Iphone 3Gs with 4.0 software that won't cooperate with Ipod functions) and i'm sure it's not just limited to us 5. Saw the thread and called the Nissan dealer where I purchased my Z, they said they had no info from Nissan about a Nav update that addresses this problem. If you have any relative info please share. Thanks ahead of time. DB

Nothing happening with this item, I guess...

Just called my Dealer as well. they haven't heard of anything for this, but are looking into it. Hope to have more info later. I hope it's not just Form/Interenet BS.

Apparently it is only for the roadsters

But they released a TSB for this problem. So we somehow have to convince the dealers to upgrade the nav systems on our regular cars as well.

The vert and the coupe have different navs?

no thats my point...they should release the update to any car that need it.

I wascasking a serious question. I would have thought that Nissan would've used the same system and any update for one would work for all.

Sorry dude I think I confused you, basically all the '10 Z's have the same nav unit, the verts included. They released an update but they said it was only for verts which in my case leaves me without an update, which doesnt make sense because all the cars do have the same one.

Even infiniti who use the same system got updates...

I couldnt even get my iPhone 4 to connect to the Navi the other day/ You would think they would have this taken care of



DAN

I got a letter in the mail about it. I took it into my local dealer and it took them a few hours but it was free and my iPhone4 works great now. I can't confirm if this is only for roadsters but mine is a 2010 roadster

Just got my letter and I drive a coupe. So, looks like they took note of the millions of iPhone users ! :tup:

Tell us if the dealer does the update and if it really fixes the iPhone issues.

Got my letter also today! here is what it says..

Hey my wife just handed me my letter. I guess Nissan moved on to the coups Now

Update
 

Received my letter from Nissan last week (2010 coupe). Took into the dealer last Thursday and it took him about an hour to completet the update. Unfortunatley, nothing has changed.. Iphone (3Gs) with with new 4.02 software still does not work! Nissan and Apple need to go back to the drawing board on this one...

i have the 3gs with the original operating system. will this fix my inability to download my phonebook into the car?

Iphone
 

JeffBlue,
Don't have a good answer for you concerning being able to download phonebook to Nav system since my Iphone is no longer recognized by my cars Nav system (check USB connection is all I get). Previous to downloading Apples 4.0 software, my Iphone worked fine with my cars system. I think that's the most fustrating thing about this whole situation..:icon23: DB

Hmm, i haven't downloaded the new OS yet, and i don't plan to. i woudln't be surprised if what nissan thinks of as the 'new' iphone software, is not really the new OS anymore.

Has anyone done this yet? Does it delete you music stored on you HD?

you actually had the patience to do that? i did 2 CD's, then lost interest. its such a bad method of music transfer. It should be able to copy music from an external source via usb

:iagree:

OK, so I don't know what any problems were before but I can tell you what it does after the upgrade:

(1) Music - As soon as you plug in the device, the iPhone 4 pops up an error message talking about incompatibility and might not work correctly (however it said it). It shows the playlists, songs, albums, etc. You can browse any of those and it shows the songs. As soon as you click to play a song, it returns to the playlists again. No matter what you choose a song from, it does it. Will not play a song.

(2) Phone - Bluetooth. The nav unit sends out its signal ( "MY CAR") and the iPhone 4 sees it (had to turn bluetooth on). Entered the code and the phone connected. It showed the phone book and pronounced the names as you scrolled through them. Called out with touches and it worked fine. Called out by voice and it worked fine. Had wife call me while driving and it worked fine.

So, that's the update. I don't know what it was doing before--I just got my iPhone 4 3 weeks ago and I already read that it didn't work and didn't try it.

Lame

Guys this might be a very long shot, but I recently updated to OS 4 on my 3GS and had the same issues that you guys are getting, but my 350z has a Pioneer 4100 DVD HU in it. I found a post on another forum that had a fix. It may or may not work on the 370z HU but might be worth someone trying as it worked for me!

You basically switch the iphone off, then hook up the iphone to the car (with the car's power on), then do a hard reset on the phone - hold down both the sleep/lock button and home button for ten seconds, then reboot the phone and hey presto! As I said, may or may not work on the 370z!

Let me know if it works as picking my 370 up on Thursday!

To save you the hassle i picked my Z up tonight - the hard reset fix doesn't work :mad:

i havent had the nav update but i just downloaded the new iphone OS and now i can see my phone contacts in the nav.

Does the ipod/music bit work?

My contacts, phone and phonebook work fine.

oh, i'll try that. i use my ipod classic for that usually, but i'll let you know

Hey I just upgraded to iOS 4.1 on my 3GS yesterday and iPod function through USB is working again. The car is not reading artist or album lists though. Playlist info is there and I have access to my phone's contact list. No navigation/DVD upgrade done.

I have similar problems as you with mine, I can't actually see the artist or album but also in my phone book all of my contacts show up as serial number of some sort with out any relation to the persons number (I looked at all digits). Which makes it hard to pick who you are calling so I have to actually look at the phone to pick who I call then just use the blue tooth.......

But I think my dealership will do the update for me even if it says for roadsters only! they will do anything I have asked so far, I have been lucky!...so far

I think I will also try to plug in my iPhone to the comp I only use the wall charger 98% of the time! My phone only gets plugged into computer maybe once a month lol!

Well, it's not roadsters only. They sent me a letter and did my coupe.

SWEET I will definitely be looking into it this week to get done ASAP

I just checked yesterday, i'm on IOS 4 and stock 2010 nav (i ordered my car in march 2010, so whatever version of nav is on that) and my contacts and everything work along with my usb functionality for scrolling through artists/songs etc.

I have an iPhone 4 (on 4.1) and i am getting the Nav upgrade done today to my 2010 370z coupe. Will report back with status.

So I have found the iOS 4 does not emulate the iPod interface correctly. If I add the same set of playlist to an 80GB iPod and an iPhone 3GS running iOS4, the iPhone can not scroll and often show "no title" but the iPod works perfectly. I have the Navigation update already as well. Looks like I am going back to a standard iPod!
