2010 EX35 Navigation system upgrading

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.

Just asked the same question during a visit to my local dealer. Go to infiniti.navigation.com and you find what you need.

$149 per year, with a 20% discount if you buy the 2 or 3 year subscription. 2018 is a 5 dvd package. Didn't see a current version listed for sale on Amazon. The website explains how to retrieve your nav system id#, which you need to order the update.

This is what I usually do. The old owner even bought the 2016 maps which I haven't installed yet. Always founds it's quicker to type an address into google maps then an integrated car nav. I should do it eventually though, already have the disc lol. Does it go into the regular CD slot, or is there something under the seat?

Yeah. Make sure you either run the car or get a battery tender. You don’t want the upgrade stopping in the middle

That's annoying, guess I'll wait for a road trip lol. My battery sucks, been having to boost my car far too often. The previous owner had some module installed so you can plug a device into an electrical outlet on my car, and runs off the battery. I think it's drawing power at all times. If it's parked for a week or two, even in the summer, it'll be dead and need a jump. I need an oil change, and think I'm going to ask my mechanic to just rip it out.

I did relying on the battery. It was a bit scary as it took over 1 hour, but it went fine :)

You can do the upgrade cheaper by downloading the DVDs and then buying the code online. But to be honest, I didn't notice much difference after the upgrade so I'm still unsure if it's worth it...

By the way, if you download the DVD you can choose to only do the firmware upgrade for the system which includes Bluetooth improvements / compatibility which will be "free" :P

I want to do it more for the map updates. Our city has grown a lot since 08, when I drive in my neighborhood it's just all blank on my GPS lol. I just haven't cared to do it yet because I usually use Google Maps for nav and sync through the cars Bluetooth since I listen to Spotify anyway.
