I see navigation as just another thing to distract drivers when they should be paying attention to what's in front of the windshield, on both sides, and coming up on their rear. I also see it as a dust collector. I guess I'm old school and don't think a car like a 370Z should have an auto trans although if I bought another Infiniti coupe I'd go with the 7AT. I also don't care about how many cup holders a car has, Ipod interfaces or bluetooth and won't own a plastic gun. But I understand the younger drivers want these things. And don't get me started about keyless ignitions being a solution to a non-existent problem.


Well my Lexus and now the Z had this feature and I LOVE it! I never have to take keys out of my pocket or back pack, and they don't swing around and bash into the steering column scratching it up. I think once you've had it for a while you'll find it's a pretty neat feature.

If my opinion it is the best new feature on Z. In fact if it didn't have it, I wouldn't have bought it.

Navigation transforms the Z interior completely IMO. I would not have it any other way. Also, I had an 08 MB c300 and the navigation that Nissan offers in the Z is far superior to that of the Benz.

I love the way it looks and works. Granted the "BLOSE" system needs upgrading but then again arent we all into modifying our cars? Thats why we do this... to throw money into our cars. There is no way around it. We can also start a thread on "Why will someone spend another 5 grand on a new set of wheels and tires to replace the Rays?" Same thing, don't you think?

Great feature!! You never have to worry about the key to do anything ever. Almost every car will eventually have this feature soon anyway. So even if Nissan did it just to be ahead of the curb then Im fine with that.

In almost every review for the G37 the navigation is always commented as better than what BMW is offering or one of the best from the factory on the market. Same Nav in the Z so. 2010 will be upgraded in Z and Max so will be even better.

Besides the damn bose but sooner or later someone will put together a great setup for the Z+Nav only thing hurting the touring package.

The nav is worth it for me.
It's like whomever wrote the software for it actually sat down with all the other nav's on the market and took the features that worked/were nice, and bundled them all up into one. It's great because I actually go places :D

I've had loaner Infinitis with the keyless ignition and find it uncomfortable to have a big wad of keys and the remote stuck in my pocket while driving. You guys must wear those baggy gangsta pants.

?

You could put the key in the cupholder. What about when you get out of the car and sit down at a table keys still in your pocket. Almost every car has a remote probably your 04' does too. Sit on couch at friends or you prefer to stand?

I have been having the same issue for years now in cars I've driven without keys. It's been bugging me all along. It wasn't until I got a clue and TOOK THE FOB OUT OF MY F***ING POCKET when it stopped bothering me.

Wow.

I always have my keys in the pocket when I am sitting or doing anything anyway. The keys do not come out of my pants until my pants come off. It was like that since forever. This intelligent key is not any larger than a typical key. Actually you don't even need the remote, you just need the key itself from the remote. The key alone as well as remote alone will let you unlock and start he car.

I to love the nav! plus the look of having it makes it look 100x better IMO
(especially for us Canadian 40th anniversary owners who got it, unlike the American suckers!!!!)

But as for the key issue being big and bulky, my solution is to keep all my car keys on separate key chains with there own special key chain/emblem to help me I have a Nissan emblem holding my 300zx keys, the Z key fob is on a Nismo key chain and then my work and house keys are on a big key loop with a climbers clip for easy access.
