Default Re: Quick question? Can radio antenna be taken off.

Tell your wife that because you have the Navi, you never have to set the clock when 'time change Sunday' occurs - because it syncs through the Navi, which gets the time from the GPS birds. Smart, huh ?

Also - and I mention this because I always thought it was a bit of overkill to ask the time, when it's right there in the upper dash display - you can turn that upper dash display OFF. Hold down the CD/AUX button for 7 seconds. You'll hear a 'beep', and the upper display will shut off. Repeat to reverse.

That's the only reason I could see ever needing to 'ask the time', myself - but they don't mention turning off the upper display in the manual, afaik. Alpine did build some functions into the Navi, independent of Honda - they ported a subset of their propietary Navi code into the HMC setup, and the time polling came along for the ride, as it were.

I'd agree on your description of the G-twins. Awesome looks and strong runners - but once you get past the outer skin, what do you have ? Nissan has some work to do in their interiors, IMO. But that VQ35 series runs like stink Drove a G-sedan to compare to the HAH before I bought it. It coulda been a contendah, I tell ya...
