Yea probably don't need it considering I already have the factory nav. I've been taking a lot of long distance trips lately and I guess it would have been nice

Yea probably don't need it considering I already have the factory nav. I've been taking a lot of long distance trips lately and I guess it would have been nice to have during those for the entertainment aspect along with diagnostics I suppose.

But I don't think it's a question of need lol more like I know i'll be sitting in traffic for an hour each day, this may make it a little more bearable.

someone here did a mod where they hooked up the nav screen to display diagnostic info using the OBD port. I can't remember the tread right now however.

Yea I looked into using the stock nav screen for this but it requires a lot more modding than I'm comfortable with. From what I've found from people that have tried on mp3car.com finding a VGA to RGBs converter for the nissan/infiniti stock nav screens is difficult. Someone did it on the g37 forum using some scan converter box and he even wired into the touchscreen interface. His setup definitely looked pretty nice though.

I think that's a little too much work for me and too much room for error.

The HKS Camp II looks pretty nice but I'd like more than just diagnostics.

Edit:

I found this guy's thread on myg37. Definitely nice but I don't have the skills or confidence to start cutting into the nav display.

I guess ability to watch movies, listen to internet radio/pod casts, check email or search google without having to go through a small phone screen. I know I can get all these through separate means like my phone and connect a player for movies in the aux input but I would like to consolidate everything into one interface.

And also having a pc in there opens up the possibilities of whatever else I can think of.
