Someone local to me has a 370Z with the Premium Connect and the hard disk has failed. Guess how much a new unit costs...

Yes, it's being done under Warranty.

The price is for the box behind the drivers seat than contains the HDD and control unit. It does not include the touch screen or anything in the dash.

£10k? Think again...

Well, Nissan did a special for the dealer (not sure why because Nissan are picking up the bill) and that was £9.5k

Regular punters get to pay more...

They used to be £19,000... and will blow up if you reverse the battery polarity.

Mine has been scrolling up and down tracks by itself so is getting changed under warranty.
They have to get access to the hard drive to get its code before they can order a replacement.

Thank heavens you can buy a sonic screwdriver from Tesco nowadays then.

It's just a shame they don't sell velvet smoking jackets too, because then you could do the full Jon Pertwee. :thumbs: :lol:
