Agreed.
It denotes things I don't care about or have access to already.

Time I have a clock in the middle of the dash.
MPG like I care moment to moment, which is also displayed on NAV screen, along with the time.
Range. I use the gas guage and trip odometer.
Miles. Again I have an odometer.

Temp is the only useful display. Useful is almost an overstatement. I also have a window that I can roll down and know if its hot warm or cold.

If the car had dual or split guages on the dash, such as oil and water temp together.
The volt meter would move to the current gas Xmas lights and become the gas guage.
The clock stays the clock. I just made all this up on the spot. So there may be plenty of room for improvement.

The Infiniti G35 had several options that could be programmed by the dealer. A list of them was published on the G35 Forum several years ago. For example, I had to get the dealer to program the alarm settings to flash the lights twice when arming and once when disarming without beeping the horn either time. That was not something that could be done with the key fob. The dealer could also program how fast the windows went up and down and a few other tweaks. My dealer did it at the first service at no charge.
I don't like how the 370Z alarm function can be programmed to disable the horn, but it does not flash the lights at a disarm if the horn is off. That is stupid.
So I have been wondering if there are also dealer programmable functions like the hidden ones on the G35. Kind of like the non-published menu at In'n'Out Burger

I wish you could check how many more miles to an oil change etc. without having to be in park. still can't figure out the extra matenince stuff on there.

as for the clock that was really a dumb place to put it. we need a oil pressure gage there at the least.

That's where my boost gauge is going in the future!

well yeah, the clock is completely pointless if you have touring version. base i'd consider it not to be that bad, but it's easily the most extraneous out of all of them.

like xan, i'd like to get the tire pressure sensors to show me some numbers if it could. if i could figure that out it'd be golden. anything's better than a stupid amber light going "hey i'm kinda flat". but i'm considering in the future opening up the dash and playing with it, then i'll look at what we can access that usually isn't 'available'. once i can get one off of a old junked one, maybe. i think there's space over there and i'm usually decent w/ electronics.

yeah, callous remark, i apologize. duly edited for niceties.

keep track of it yourself, ya lazy bum!

(dealerships actually put a sticker up to remind me hahaahah)

NiZZZmo370 · 10-21-2010, 12:47 AM

I really do wish that we still had the tire pressure sensor still...Ill ask the tech that works on my GTR and see if he knows anything.

KillerBee370 · 10-21-2010, 12:48 AM

Damn I missed phelan's apparent lack of sensibility.... again.

Anyway... the video of that car losing not one, not two, not even three... but ALL FOUR of it's wheels is GOLD!

phelan · 10-21-2010, 12:48 AM

you'd think it'd be easy to put on in if we dont though. the sensor is giving it some sort of reading, we just need to splice the data out of it.

Sadly the clock placement is classic Z. The oil pressure gauge idea is a good one.

Krowten-Dog posted a useful tip on this a while back. There is a system menu and there are a number of things you can adjust with it, including the bluetooth volume (which I found useful):

1) Turn the car to "ON" or "ACCESSORY"
2) Turn Audio off by pressing the volume knob in (only necessary if it is on)
3)Press and hold the SETTINGS button
(If the safety acknowledgment screen comes up, press enter to get past it, then press and hold the SETTINGS button)
4) While still holding down the SETTINGS button, turn VOLUME KNOB approximately 20 clicks in either direction but do not press the knob (i.e. don't turn on the audio)

This gives you several menus for checking a variety of diagnostic functions, including a system self-test. You can also reset and control a number of bluetooth, speaking and other features.

Hope that helps...

NiZZZmo370 · 10-21-2010, 01:59 AM

Awesome ocfolist....This thread is becoming useful, ill still ask my technician tomorrow and let you guys know what he says.

phelan · 10-21-2010, 02:09 AM

do you need to time the clicks no the volume knob, or can you just zip the knob along until you see something on the display?

Waiz · 10-21-2010, 02:25 AM

3 posts and the thread was derailed, I knew it would happen. LOL

ocfoilist · 10-21-2010, 03:08 AM

With the car to "ON" or "ACCESSORY", just make sure the radio is off, then press and hold the "SETTINGS" button. While you are keeping the button held, just spin the VOLUME KNOB about 20 clicks in either direction. There's no restriction on speed or anything; just make sure the button is being held while you are doing it. It's very easy and you'll have the menu up in no time.
