- 2009 FX50S
I cannot express how satisfied I am with the prestigious society Nav and video enhancement.
I installed this a few hours ago and it works like a charm with my 2009 FX50S, although it also works with FX35 and 2010s+. I've been wanting to do the nav mod for quite some time now, but didn't want to cut or mess with any wires, or try and come up with some tacky switch myself. The thread on this topic has been long discussed here:

Now kpp technologies has a product that offers all bypasses, but they don't support the video bypass. In fact, when I emailed them, after several days they finally got back to me that it cannot be done. Although I found forums where guys have bypassed this on this mod, but the instructions are not clear since it is not supported. Plus, the instructions on the bypass in general are a nightmare and requires soldering onto our cars! Really? Do I really want to risk damaging a part with customer service that isn't great?
I wanted something simple, that just worked, and was easily removable and this is it.

I emailed them and they got back to me within hours. I emailed them with more question and yet again within 12 hours. These guys are good!
Got it in:
Instructions are unbelievable....best I have seen in a mod EVER. Detail step by step of exactly our car.
Install took about 45 minutes....you just disconnect one of the plugs that go into the screen and plug it into their unit, and then plug their unit into the screen, and that's it! Plus you have a control where you just click it and it lets you do anything for 5 minutes, or you can set it to always be manual in case you want to watch videos for a long time.
I now can access all my address books, put in addresses, search all my phone contacts, all mp3s, watch movies through my ipod, or if you have DVDs that will work, etc easily while driving, or shall I say my wife now can do all these things while I am driving!
Now one downside is that it doesn't bypass the auto OK button at startup, but they explained in the email why. They said their product is a passive system where it controls the various sensors instead of intrusive and manipulative to the factory system. OK for me then. It is a little pricey at about $300, but the beauty is that it's easy and it just works with everything you want and if you sell your car ever, you can remove it easily and I'm sure you'll be able to sell it quickly.
One more note....these guys are great and I hope they join and become part of Infiniti scene at some point because I'd love to get some more mods developed by these guys. They build great mods with great service and instructions and that's what we need.
There's tons of stuff that I would want and have heard others mention, but my two top wants are:
1. Auto folding close mirrors on lock, and open mirrors on unlock. I have seen this mod in Japan and can't get my hands on it and I'm sure it's expensive and instructions in japanese. We need these guys to build this mod. I know there is a lot of interest in this also:

2. With the mod of removing one of the wires in order to be able to have front camera on when driving. It would be great to have a mod where something can do this with a switch so you can see the front or the rear while driving. I have seen a few threads on this as well.
Here is the thread for the mod of front camera, but for 2009+ I think nobody has successfully done it yet:
