I've use the infiniti personal assist to get some directions, other than that. i haven't used it for anything else. For the journey planner, i didn't work for some odd reason
I refuse to use it. It's my futile protest against the ridiculous pricing structure. I despise being nickeled and dimed. They should have raised the price to include it for the original ownership.
Your phone connects you to a real person, who speaks English, knows exactly where you are and can find you all sorts of things anywhere nearby (or far away).Haha, the system is so slow by the time you get the directions you could have gone and come back already. Unfortunately, there is nothing that system can do that my phone can't do better and faster.
Good to know, thanks for the info.There's no charge for using the service, nor any of the stuff they'll do for you. Towing is free for four years (even after IC's free trial expires).
1. I know it's free, initially. That's why I said my comment was futile.Huh? It is free for the first year. There's no charge for using the service, nor any of the stuff they'll do for you. Towing is free for four years (even after IC's free trial expires). Are you saying they should have built in the $300ish/year cost into your car? For what "original ownership" period? You want them to add $1000 to the cost of the car for something you say you won't/can't/refuse to use? Makes no sense. Use the damned thing and see if it is worth the $300 for next year.

The connected search function is a waste of time, I'll give you that. But just ask for Infiniti Personal Assistant. They can find virtually anything with just the simplest of prompts/help. Nearest In N Out Burger? No sweat. Favorite 80's band playing someplace but you can't remember which venue? Yeah, they got that - plus could get you tickets if you want them to.
I love when people bash something they've already paid for (yes, that first year is built into the cost of your car Llama), and haven't even given a try. Didn't your salesperson show you how to use it and how to make the best use of it?![]()
Regarding cost - to have the same level of OnStar service in a GM vehicle it is $25/ mo or basically the same price. Granted the OnStar app is probably a little better.
