Does anyone have the Infiniti Emergency Roadside Kit?

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.

This kit seems to be the same for all Infinitis and Nissans.
I was wondering if there is room for this kit to fit into the empty area next to the spare tire?

Thanks.

No way. At least not in one package. You could double the cables and wrap them 3/4 of the way around the sides and back of the spare (no room in front of the tire) and stow the other items individually in various nooks and crannies. I've done that but it's a big nuisance when you or the dealer wants to check the air in the spare. The service guy will never get everything crammed back around the tire. I finally decided to just get a medium sized tote bag for all the car supplies I want to carry around and keep it in the cargo bay.

Some other Threads have the First Aid Kit and the Manuals in little Pouches on both sides of the Cargo area.

Me, I have made up my own Roadside Kit... which gets placed oddly in the Cargo area, only in the Winter time.

I guess I figure we'll only have problems in the Winter and not the Summer.

That's too bad that it will not fit in that area and that the other "dead space" is not accessible in the trunk for storage.
Yes, the "stock position" of the first aid kit and manual are in velcroed the trunk. I think in later years, the manual doesn't come with the bag and it goes in the glovebox.

Anyways, I always thought it was cool how BMWs come with a toolbox in the trunk that comes down and holds the traffic triangle and everything. Some years have more complete tool boxes than others.
