you dont need to change anything. just arrange for shipping the car thats it. once here, it just needs to pass the inspection. if your car is stock and it has not had any frame damage it will pass.

What about navigation update? Do you if it can be done?

as far as i know, i think the US spec cars have HDD based navigation right?
the GCC spec cars have dvd based navigation. not like it will really help as the maps available here are atleast 2-3years old and construction is taking place at a fast pace so unless for old roads/landmarks everything else will be new.

the only other difference i know of is the radio frequencies. can you tune your radio to FM 104.1, 104.8 etc? though i have heard the radio issue can be fixed. not sure how exactly.

there is a local club gtz-uae.net or .com maybe those guys can help you out.

^ 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? And yes, I believe it is hdd based navigation.

I made an account on gtz but they haven't approved it yet! ;-(

Thanks for your reply again!
