Is it possible to have the features of the G37's tech package (adaptive headlights, intelligent cruise control, and pre-crash seat belts) installed aftermarket by a dealer or something?

You are better off trading your car for another with tech package.

Not sure if all G's are prewired for these but if not well that's an aditional cost beside the labor and parts.

I would imagine anything is possible with enough money. I happen to have some numbers for a couple of the items that you listed - without labor and assuming that the car actually has all the needed wires and controls:

Distance Sensor - $1662.35LT Finish Panel Distance Sensor - $51.90LT Headlamp Assy w/Auto Control - $1097.08 (I would assume the RT would be the same price but no guarantee, I'm sure someone else will jump in with the price.)

These are from the work done to my car after it was hit in the front left back in June. I would imagine you can get these cheaper from an aftermarket place or non OEM but I don't know.

I kind of agree with zozoka1212, if you really want these items it might be better to just trade cars.

Good luck.

I think the steering wheel controls are different as well. Not sure about the dash panel indications. Maybe the switch for the headlights. I have a sedan xs. There may be a difference between Journey and Sport versions on the coupe as well.

To me it looks like one is approaching trade in time if they want it. While I like the cruise control it is a little flakey at times. I really like the headlights.

I see, but actually I haven't got a G37 yet so I guess I'm in luck, just so far all the ones with tech package have been noticeably more expensive but I guess I just have to patient and one will turn up. Thanks for the advice.

Basically if the car has the Tech package it has to have the Premium and Navigation packages as well. You are pretty much getting a fully loaded car when you get the Tech package.

When I purchased mine (2008 XS) there were four available in the country for sale, mine came from Colorado (I am in Washington). There were a lot of tech packages available for the X, problem was I wanted an XS. I also could get it fairly easy with an S.

For me I liked the sport seats and the sport front end. If you don't care about the sport then you may have an easier time. As far as something like the paddle shifters you can add those fairly easily to a Journey for about $200.
