The Infiniti Hard Drive Navigation system features elegant 2D/3D maps plus voice, toggle stick and touchscreen input. Nissan's luxury arm and Bose have collaborated on some amazing-sounding Infiniti Studio on Wheels premium sound systems with the audio source features you'd expect from a true luxury car.
