My car came with RCA connectors in center console (the only configuration offered here). So, now I have a problem - how to use my iPod Video 60 GB (my car iPod). My 2004 Audi had a proper iPod charging dock, it would display iPod menus on GPS Display and allow me to control it from the steering wheel. It even worked with my iPhone 4 and my daughter's Nano 3, 4 and 5. My 2010 Infiniti can't do any of these things....ARRRGHHHHH!

So, how did you guys solve this? Is there some kit...from Infiniti or anyone else that will do the above, and not result in a bunch of wires all over the place?

That would only get me audio out...no charging, no integration with Nav screen, no steering wheel controls, no dock/holder

No, mine has RCA Audio and Video connectors there, plus a 12V lighter socket. So, I can connect anything that has audio (or video) out, but no integration

you must have gotten a different package than I did I guess. There is an adapter that takes your 30 prong adapter and turns it into 3 rca jacks for audio and video.

BTW- Have you figured out any good ways to keep your seatbelt from flopping around?

yes, use seat belt covers like these, I have an extra pair

I have managed to keep the seat belt buckles from hitting sides.

Do they go over the metal or do they hold the belt to the seat?

these go over the belts, has Velcro along the length and can slide over the seat belt and inside the button strap (seat shoulder), works good, I have used these since I got the the vert in 2009.

2009 models have the rca jack along with the specialized iphone/ipod cable that will need a special adapter for charging. You will also have the Compact Flash slot

2010 models and up have USB and NO rca a/v jacks. No Compact flash slots

Dejan did not buy his car in North America - therefore different build options...

That's correct. Had a chat with my dealer here in Kuwait an hour ago, and was told that 'Gulf specification' cars only come with RCA jacks...we don't even have the 30-pin cable that is supposed to come with that setup. So, I am basically screwed. I tried to find out if USB can be retrofitted, but I can't find any info on it, nor could I find a part number for it.

I doubt very much that Nav/Bose is different just for Middle East, so there must be a way to add this, I just need to find out how.

No way to have audio and video out on the dashboard display in motion, from iPod/iPhone? My G37 does not have navigation.

With Navi it is absolutely possible but without Navi, I dont think you can accomplish this. Sorry
