Paddle Shifter Installation for Infiniti G37's


The following instructions walk through the installation of OEM paddle shifters which were available on Journey models with Sport Package. These steps can be used for all Infiniti G37 coupe, sedans, and convertibles. Additionally, these steps can be used on 2007 - 2008 Infiniti G35 sedans.

NOTE: Before odering the kit you should check and validate your vehicle is prewired for paddle shifters. While the majority of supported vehicles are pre-wired there have been cases where they were found not to be. Follow steps 1-10 as part of this validation process before ordering.
