My Car: 2010 370z convertible (automatic)

1. Car Skidding: Basically if I press the gas kinda hard when I am ready to take off... the car actually looses control and fish tails .... i dont even have the VDC off ... so really not sure how to get a perfect launch (remember I have auto). Any tips? My buddy has a corvette and his car blew past mine .... and I understand they have more horse power bla bla bla ... but I feel like I didnt even get a fair launch because I had to 'slow' down bc my car was fish tailing.

2. Battery Dying: If I dont start my car in 5 days ... the battery dies. Is this normal? The dealer said thats normal with these cars because there is a lot of stuff still working while the car is off...

3. Nav System: I heard you can get videos to play off your iPhone if you buy a Y Adapter. OK ... but problem is videos cant be played while driving. Is there a way to fix that?

4. Nav Maps: How do you download the latest version of the MAPs and then upload it to the car?
1. Sounds like your tires are either on the way out or that the road surface blows. Or your tires are cold. Check pressures too.

2. I leave my car alone, unattended, for upwards of three weeks. It starts up fine, not even a problem. I have the Touring 6MT though, and you have extra electronics. Owned it for 40 months and not a single problem. Stock battery too.

3. Don't know.

4. Don't know.
