Please note that your vehicle's telematics hardware is compatible for use with the 2G cellular network, which will no longer be available after December 31, 2016.

**Important Information re: Access to Infiniti Connection
Driving is serious business. Only use Infiniti Connection™ and Infiniti Connection Plus services when safe to do so. Services, including automatic crash notification and SOS, require an active subscription, and are dependent upon the telematics device being in an operative condition, its ability to connect to a wireless network, compatible wireless network availability, navigation map data, and GPS satellite signal receptions, the absence of which can limit or prevent the ability to reach Infiniti Connection Customer Care or receive support. Services require compatible 2G GSM/GPRS cellular network provided by AT&T. AT&T has announced that on December 31, 2016, AT&T will discontinue 2G network service. You must enroll by June 30, 2016 to access the services on the 2G network through December 31, 2016. 2G cellular network not available in all areas and/or available at all times. Cellular technology is evolving, and changes to cellular networks provided by independent companies are not within Infiniti's or Sirius XM Connected Vehicle Service's ("Sirius XM") control. Like other devices that rely on 2G network coverage, once the 2G network service is discontinued, Infiniti Connection and Infiniti Connection Plus services will not function unless equipment replacements, upgrades, or alternative 2G network coverage are available at that time, which neither Infiniti nor Sirius XM can guarantee. Infiniti and Sirius XM are not responsible for associated costs that may be required for continued operation due to 2G cellular network turndown (including equipment upgrades, if available, or roaming charges on alternative networks). Certain vehicle services, including Google® compatible services, provided by independent companies are not within Infiniti's or Sirius XM's control and are subject to change without notice or liability to Infiniti or Sirius XM and either of their affiliates and agents. Standard text rates and/or data usage may apply. Certain services require a PIN for activation. Terms and conditions of subscription agreement apply.
