We have a 2009 and now a 2010 G37 Convertible.

The differences we noticed so far:

1. New HDD navigation system with vastly improved bluetooth phone integration (you can use voice to dial people from your handset phonebook for example), better routing, more accurate XM traffic
2. USB support for iPOD but NO integrated support now for anything else. We had a Microsoft Zune in our 2009 but the connection for that is gone in the 2010. It also displays album art. You can now use the USB to charge your iPOD and you can play music from a thumbdrive.
3. The hard drive is smaller but lets face it, the music box was never really useful when you can plug in an MP3 player
4. The stereo sound better (not really sure if they changed it or not)
5. Sonar is now included in addition to the camera
6. You can view pictures on the camera (it says images but we have not tried a movie)
7. You loose the air filteration system standard on the 2009 but need the technology package to get it
8. Believe it or not, an upgrade interior already around the console, new cup holders.
9. Lots of options under settings now

We are hoping that the 2010-2011 navigation upgrade will update our 2009. The dealer seemed to think so because the software was update to HDD and that the monitor in the 2009 MAY be the same.

Nice recap - thanks!
And, congrats on your 2nd Vert!

There are now 2 buttons instead of one for the seat belt shoulder clip and the folding side mirrors.

Congrats

Did you get the spoiler with integrated antenna on your new ride?

Thanks

Unfortunately the monitor is not the same between the 2010 and 2009 - we've got the same nav's with our 2010 EX35 and 2009 G37 vert. The 2010 has new features that should be possible to implement in software only - the menu choices are "improved" for example. But I think that as the hardware level has changed we may be just limited to nav database updates. Hope I'm wrong.
