![]() ![]() Images taken from Motorvate DIY's G37 First off I'll say I take zero credit for figuring any of this out, I saw it on one of the latest Motorvate DIY video (who he also attributes finding some of this info out by someone named Gareth Bryan), and tested it out for the 370z. Worked for me without any issues so far (only a day of testing). I will say this is experimental and you are taking a risk doing these commands, any issues that arise would be your responsibility. Motorvate DIY said he has been running with this on his G37 it for about 3 months with no issues, only a day for my 2012 370z ![]() Video: Here's just a breakdown of what I got out of the video and steps I took. I would suggest watching the video over my steps, as his instructions are pretty clear, and can explain things better if you get lost. Necessary Hardware Items:
Steps I took:

MikeUCFL: Thanks for sharing your experience with enabling the Tire Pressure menu!
I thought about making a post here, but I didn't have any proof that it works on the 370, even though the 370z uses the exact same navigation unit (known as the 08IT) as the G37. Sooo, it is good to know it works on the 370! Last edited by MotorvateDIY; 09-29-2023 at 06:34 AM. |

If you have a newer laptop with a USB C port, you can use the standard USB C to USB A cable to reconfigure the nav unit.
I never thought about this, as my 8 year old Mac Pro only has USB A. However, a comment on my channel this morning asked if a USB C to USB A cable would work. I tested it on a newer desktop and it worked! |

Amazing discovery! Thanks for sharing.
Unfortunately, I did try this modification on my euro version of 370z and menu "Tyre Pressure" showed up but no readings. I was driving my car for 30km and all of them are still showing "**" Do you think that changing type 3 "(X61A type)" to something else is a solution? Do you know other possible options and what they mean? |

I'll reconfigure my unit and see if I get the same behaviour. Also, the next time you are connected to the navigtion unit, please type" verall and post / PM that as well. Last edited by MotorvateDIY; 09-30-2023 at 11:38 AM. |

Before you did the re-configuration, was the TPMS light on? I'm wondering if the BCM is programmed for them and if they still function. |

Isn't TPMS light shown always when any of the sensor dies? In UK they have a steering wheel on the right side so I'm wondering if they have different configuration of the unit? |

I'm not sure on what the differences are between the North American and Europe version of the nav system as I've never seen the version for Europe. I would think that they would share a common "core" of code and the other differences would be for languages, radio frequencies, DAB (digital audio broadcasting - Europe Only) and lack of XM (satellite - North America only) radio. What year is your 370? |

Troubleshooting Tips:
If there is no COM port, means the nav unit is not in debug mode. The most common cause is the windows default setting of "hide file extensions" The filename looks like "UsbDebugStart.ivanaX", but is really "UsbDebugStart.ivanaX.txt" In windows explorer, click on View > Show > File Name extensions If you see the .txt, delete it, that was the problem. Shut down the car for 10-20 seconds and try again. The other thing you can try is to use the sdcard.org "SD formatter" to format the memory stick. Sometimes a windows formatted memory stick doesn't work BUT this one seems to always work! |

Hi! Thank you MotorvateDIY for this kind of content
In my case 2018 european 370z, I see the navigation system display "Reading USB memory" but when I plug my USB cable (usb-a to usb-c) in my laptop with win10 no COM comunication (my laptop don't have a usb-a port) I tried with 3 USB sticks 4-8GB and 3 different USB cable (yes i'm sure put the correct filename UsbDebugStart.ivanaX and not UsbDebugStart.ivanaX.txt ![]() Maybe in a restyling units this port was restricted?

Try the sdcard.org formatter and make sure the USB cable is not a "power/charge only" cable. |

Just tried this on a 2018 USA 370z, the tire pressure menu is there, but ** for all readings unfortunately. Not sure if anyone figured out the issue that causes that.
