I'm guessing it's not a direct connection like the US because they have the hard drive and unfortunately we don't. Not sure why they changed that to DVD based Nav. I liked the idea of loading music onto the hard drive and not even needing the ipod.

... We need an adaptor for the iPod.

Thought there was an iPod dock?:-S

I was hoping it would be like this:

Indy · 05-19-2009, 06:14 AM

Nope... Theres 2 x audio in (red + white) and a video in (yellow) in place of that.

370er · 05-19-2009, 07:56 AM

Yep, I thought so. That's a bit of a pain... so the iPod can't charge unless you use some adapter and i'd assume the song text can't be displayed on the nav screen. Why they would change it from the US spec I don't know.

Has anyone seen the titanium gray model in Australia?
Was my number one color choice, but wanted to see it in person before deciding, but apparently no one had ANY...

Went with Brilliant Silver

Indy - I'm hanging to see the Plat Grey too before deciding. I have seen a white and driving the yellow which were both ok. Leaning towards PG though. I don't mind ordering it and waiting.

The Ipod connector is a dissapointment. I saw two cables in the console area in the one I drove, but didn't pay too much attention to it. No it wont display the track names on the display if it's only an audio link, as it needs the full ipod link to get the full feature set. I wonder how hard it would be to upgrade the unit to the Hard disk model?

I'm also dissapointed that there is no reverse camera. The options list says a reverse assist as an option, but that will just be the sensors in the rear bar. The dealer said they are looking into retro fitting cameras.

The 18" wheels are terrible IMO! I will have to factor in some decent rims now after seeing them in the flesh. The whole car needs to drop an inch too to make it look right.

Does anyone know if we can order one with Brembo's?

Just for $ interest...

Blackburn Nissan Vic
retail - $71k
lease - $62k (which Im leaning towards)

Cheers,
Darren

Heh, I meant Titanium Gray, slightly different to PG.
Brighton Nissan has/had one on display (PG).

I went with Brilliant Silver anyways, and am quite happy with it

Can drive it because of a technicality with Vic Roads, go green Ps!:-D
