G35 Tips and Tricks

[A17Z]

A friend of mine created this video on his G. Let me know what you think.

Awesome. There are bunch of other things you can put on but needless to say it is wicked for people new to the G.

Joe Sean do you guys want to ad this to the sticky?

[08.black.G37]

Now that is really cool and helpful. Are all or most of those features also on the G37?

[zozoka1212]

Yes they are. Also there are few more on the G35/37.

Although on the 07+ sedan if you have the premium than all 4 windows will roll down. Without premium only the front 2.

As the video mentioned about it. The 2 keyfob could be set for 2 different setting. Also on the 07 sedan the keyfob chain was colored differently from each other so you know who's fob it is yours or your partners. They stopped doing that on the 08. Not sure why.

That was good! My 05 didn't have memory seats, but the 09 does. And you can link them with the key fob.

All of this info is in the drivers manual...but not everyone reads that cover to cover.

[zozoka1212]

There is a diagnostic menu also. I don't think this is in the manual so this is good.

This is for the 07+ seadan and the g37. Not sure how to do it with the 1st generation G. I know I can do it on my Foci too and gives me some cool crap like oil temperature reading and water temperature,etc etc

You have to start your engine
turn the audio off
hold down the setting and the same time turn the volume controll either way at least 40 clicks

it will give you a beep when you get there
there is is some adjustment and trouble code reading
navigation menu
you can even test the speakers
climate conroll

etc etc
Can't remember all it has been a long time since I used it. Actually on the 08 never tried it. I did on my 07.

[Poyzinous]

in my experience, hardly anyone reads anything at all related to their car. If they did, it would eliminate half the calls the dealer recieves.

[joe603]

Works on the 09....

[08.black.G37]

True Poyz, but if you have an inch thick manual to your cell phone, DVD player, TV, car, Washer, Dryer....you get my point. Who has the time? Most times when I do look up something in an owner's manual it is so common sense and Mickey Mouse that it just makes me laugh. I do much better when I have someone to show me things. Like this guy. He is short and to the point. He should make instruction videos to more devices. He could probably make some $$$

power cord pass through FTW i never noticed that... and having my cord smashed when i closed my center console was getting on my nerves... great video!

[08.black.G37]

I thought that was one of the coolest features too. Funny all those simple little things that engineers work so hard on and we don't even know that our cars will do it.
