congratulations on your purchase...my last car was an infiniti also (J30t)
couldn't tell you anything about the seat...what works for me might not
neccessarily work for you...as for the radio, i think it may be because of
the radio because i've replaced every piece of stereo in the car and i no
longer have the problem...why are you stuck on something that's double din?
