Hi all,

I recently took delivery of a stunning 2012 G37 Sport Convertible in black, and i'm blown away by it. I have got to grips with most of the technology (of which is endless). I do however have one or two questions to fire at the experienced Infiniti owners (apologies if these have already been addressed):

1). Is there a way to bypass the video safety feature whereby the video cut's out if the car is in motion and/or the hand-brake is off? The kids went from delight then despair in the space of 5 minutes!

2). Does the USB port read and display video files? I've tried and although the 'list' option shows the file(s), the player says 'file unreadable'. I have tried both .AVI and .MOV. If it does play video files via USB, what are the supported formats?

3). I am finding the weather warnings very annoying, and simply cannot find how to turn them off. Living in Newport Beach and next to the sea, the constant 'High wind' or 'High tide' warnings are very annoying! Can I disable these?

4). Finally, what kind of economy and performance improvements can I expect after running the prescribed 1,200 miles from new? I'm currently getting 16MPG from mixed, semi-leisurely driving, and feel that whilst you can tell it's a large V6 under the hood, I should be getting more from it (though I haven't taken her over 5k yet).

Thanks for your help guys!

welcome & congrats

1) KP Technology has a module that you can use
2) Only will play after bypass ( I am not sure as I have 09 )
3) Yes you should be able to turn these off - I live in OC not far from NPB.
4) I get average 20-22 mpg
Get a Integrated antenna spoiler kit - will make your car 100% better: Need one I can get you OEM brand new kit.

I do mostly city driving with a HEAVY foot, and I get about a 15-17 mpg avg. when I drive from AZ to NPB or San Diego, the car gets 24-25 mpg for the entire trip on the highways. And if I have mixed city/highway driving on a given tank, its probably close to 19 mpg. Car is too fun to drive to worry bout squeezing out an extra mpg

Try this thread concerning wiring and video.

I too had trouble with playing video files via USB. I found a program called Ideal DVD Copy http://www.idealdvdcopy.com that allows me to make dvds of any movies, personal videos, concert videos, etc. I'm able to record them without compressing the files so they look as good as the originals. I would suggest however, to get the 8.5gb dvds. It's the only way you can record full movies without compression. They do offer a free trial. They also have a program for blu-ray as well. Enjoy your new car!
