Bought a 2014 QX50 today

[Sedonaman]

Can not find the outside temp read out , does it have one ?
Okay , okay , so far that's my only concern

[Sedonaman]

Outside temperature display , well , guess it's supposed to have onw of these

Where is it ?

[Sedonaman]

I found it ,,,,, driving back from Phoenix , it really bothered me that I could not find the Outside temperature display
Car has 13K miles , pearl white m wheat interior

[NJGuy]

Now that you're officially an owner...

[webster]

Does it have Navigation ?

[Sedonaman]

yes , why ?

[Sedonaman]

Just now drove my RAV4 back to back with my QX50 and , jeezz , the QX50 is really cramped compared to RAV4
Tight cockpit

Drove the QX50 in the rain yesterday , was surprised to see we did not need the wipers on , water just rolled off the shield

The RAV4 is more athletic in the way Toyota set of the motor . it seems to idle at 20mph , just touch the pedal and it lurches forward .

The QX50 is a more solid , better built auto where as the RAV4 seems like a beer can with a hot motor in it

congrats

[Sedonaman]

Looking at where the battery is located , I hope I never have to replace it myself .

Are these cars positraction or one wheel pushing it ????

[webster]

Please have a look at my post re GPS audio volume control....

Does your main audio volume control works when using the gps....same volume control that controls the volume on the radio ?

Thanks

I did a battery replacement last year and it wasn't too bad. The plastic trim surrounding it can be easily moved aside, which opens up more space for removal and installation.

Did you get the RWD version? I believe that the QX50 comes with an open differential. My guess is that Infiniti uses the VDC system to control torque distribution between each side via the brakes.

Yes , RWD .

Shore is a tight fit inside the cab , they ( we ) need a little more space in front seat area , luckily, me and the wife are skinny people .
She's about 114 #s and me about 160

Congrats! I like the fact that they're a little different from the rest. Mine fits me just fine.

Reading 'bout the nav now , never used one .

18" rims , rims from what other cars fit the qx50 ?? other Nissan ??

Please let me know when you get a chance to use it.

[Sedonaman]

It's helpful if you guide me to where I will find the volume control for GPS , in manual or on device

What do I look for ?

Reading 'bout the nav now , never used one .

Please let me know when you get a chance to use it.

[Sedonaman]

If you are referring to the female voice that guides the nav , yes , my 2014 has a volume control and it works fine

[webster]

Yes I am....just to make sure I am referring to the volume control on the dashboard and in the steering volume. My does not work in my 2015 QX50.
I am meeting with Infiniti Canada rep on Tuesday and want to have all facts.
Also FYI....we checked a brand new 2016 QX50 and it also does not work.

Thanks for taking the effort in checking it.

Regards,

Webster

[Sedonaman]

On the nav screen , settings , volume for voice , that's what I am meaning , nothing to do with steering button volume or what ever

[webster]

What you described sets the constant volume control. Afetr you set this predetermined volume you should be able to control
the volume from the radio volume control ( radio knob ) and from the steering volume control ( + or - ) .

This feature is very handy while driving since the noise level inside the car changes....specailly at high speed and when raining.

It worked on my 2013 EX37 and works on my wifes 2010 EX35.

Please let me know if you can control the volume from the radio knob ?

Thanks,

[Sedonaman]

well , would I need to turn off the radio , using the knob , then how would it work ?
anyway , I will look into it

[ArcticBlue]

You can change the volume of the navigation voice by using the steering wheel volume control, but you have to adjust the volume while she is talking/giving directions.

[webster]

No...you do not have to turn off the radio but it it easier to test if it is off.

If the radio volume will go down automatically when navi audio voice guidance is talking.

Also, you can use the volume control on the steering wheel.

[Sedonaman]

So far , the knob does not affect the volume , will try the volume control on steering wheel

[Sedonaman]

Does not work , using steering wheel volume .

I agree , they need to have this type of control for nav volume because of driving conditions .

However , I can change the volume via "settings" , not as easy as radio knob

[webster]

Thank for your help.

It appears that starting in 2014 this feature was deleted intentionally ( does not make any sense ) or it is a software issue.
All other Infinities still have that feature...I am surprised that nobody has raised that issue ???

I will definetely make some noise next week on Tue with the Infiniti rep and President of Infiniti Canada is coming on Wednesday.

Will keep you posted.

This is how I acidentally found how to adjust nav volume. Hit the voice button and ,as AB says, whilst nav is talking use the radio button to adjust the volume.
I have a 2011 its the only way i use to adjust vol.
