ou should not have to convert to GCC spec, but there is an Infiniti dealer in Abu Dhabi that may be able to do the conversion if you wish to have it done.

^ thanks for your reply! Appreciate it! I contacted the masood Infiniti dealership in Abu dhabi and they said that the ecu does not need to be updated. However, they can't do the gCC navigation update. Apparently they tried it on another car and it didn't work. But I am hearing that some tuning places over there can do it. Any idea about them?

Thanks for your reply again!

I don't know of any specific shops that do the navigation updates, but there are several repair shops in the Mussafah industrial area here. They don't normally advertise, but I'll ask a few people if they know of one.

I've tried calling a couple shops in Mussafah, but since I don't speak Arabic it's a little hard to relay what I'm looking for with the gentlemen that answer the phones. Several people I've asked suggest calling the Dubai Infiniti dealership. Here is their info: Arabian Automobiles Company
P.O. Box 2128
Dubai
United Arab Emirates
 
Toll Free No.
800-INFINITI
(800-46346484)

Two weeks! You'll be on a plane before you know it!

Haha week from tomorrow right now!

And thank you thank you for calling garages and finding out about the Dubai dealership. I really appreciate it! I did call them. They said that the only thing that won't work is the navigation. But that can be worked around if I really want. Just haveta dish out the money, ykno what I mean!

I haveta buy you a drink for all your help when I get there!
