I am new to the forum. I have an 05 Q45 which I have owned for over 3 years. I just bought a new disc for the GPS - and they sent 2 discs. Before I screw something up, I need some info. The map goes in the truck DVD I know - but I have a tape and DVD system also in the glove box. Does the set up disk go here? Can any one give me some directions.

Welcome to the forums! I haven't ever had to update mine since the GPS discs don't work well here in Hawaii, but I will be doing the same thing when i get back to the mainland next year. Hopefully this bump to your post will get you(us) the response you're looking for.

Good to hear from someone with the same car. Hope we get a response. Another question for you. I have a small black box above the rear view mirror. Looks like an after installation and cant figure out what it is. It has a red light that flashes when the rear view camera is activated. Any ideas?

I have the same thing on mine. I assumed it had something to do with the auto-dimming for the mirror or something.

You may be right. But there are numbers which appear when you get close to an object when backing up which seems to be the distance - so its seems to have something to do with the back up camera. Its a bit useless since you are looking on the screen. I was wondering if it was an add on but since you have one, its probably a stock item.

I called Nissan/Infiniti customer service at 1-800-662-6200. The disc comes from Navteq North America, Memphis. Their telephone No is 1-888-628-6277. I called one day and it was delivered to me the next.

I too have an '05 Q45, and I bought a GPS update this past summer. There were instructions in the box, did you look for them?

Do any of you guys happen to have a version 6.9 you want to get rid of? I have a Cadillac that takes the same nav discs as the Q.
