2008 EX35 Packages/Options

Discussion of Infiniti's amazing (and underrated) sport-luxury crossovers, the EX35 and EX37. For 2014, the EX series will be renamed QX50, in line with Ininfiit's new naming conventions.

For a 2008 EX35 Journey Edition:
Can anyone tell me what was included in the Premium Package & Technology Package?
Was a Multi-disc CD Changer available?
Was the hard drive music recorder/player part of the Nav system or a seperate feature?

A salesman told me that CD changers weren't available in the EX35 (or any Infiniti autos) starting in 2008 and that instead of changers the upgrade from a single disc was the hard drive system. I don't believe him because there are instructions for the multi-disc CD player in the manual. Is this true?

Thanks!

edmunds.com has this information. Go to model review section of EX35

I recommend Cars.com, personally. I've checked sites like Edmunds, MSN Autos, Yahoo! Autos, and Cars.com is the only site that lists the packages for used cars in a very clear and usually accurate manner.

Here's a link to the options page for the car

But just to answer the question, if you get the upgraded sound system (Premium package includes this), you'll get a Bose 11 speaker system with a 6CD changer. If you get the Navigation package (also includes the upgraded sound system), you also get a 9.3 Gig section of the Nav's HD as a music storage section. I think if you go without Nav, but get the Premium package anyway, you still get a 2 Gig section for that, but I'm not positive.

I have the 2008 EX brochure.
As Raidin said, the Premium package included a 6-cd changer. But note that if you have the Nav package + the Premium package, it's only 1-cd (but includes the Music Box hard drive with compact flash slot).

Thanks sg77! That actually helps tons. There was a ton of info on the Cars.com site, but it didn't really spell that out and I was kinda confused. To make things worse the dealer put that it had a CD Changer on the window sticker and , of course, it didn't because I have the Nav. I didn't realize it until after I had bought the car and when I asked the salesman about it he wasn't making a lot of sense.

I'm loving the car, other than a few minor things I need them to look at when I go in there next week.

Thanks again to everyone!
