Then as you probably you know, it just takes one mishap.
Couldn't agree more....Had my share of "mishaps" at 16 - 18 when I "knew everything" and had a '78 Trans Am with a big block.
Got a tip for us?

Bro, don't bother explaining yourself or your situation. Some have nothing better to do than argue on the net. It's nonsense IMO.
Dude, you're right. It's amazing how an innocuous statement put on here to help and inform people brings out the morons and their stupid comments. That said, I'll limit my responses to those in response to the thread subject.
I did a quick test while dropping my kids off a little while ago...It's worse than I previously had thought. While on a call and afterwards, there is no notification whatsoever that someone tried to call you unless they leave a message. The call will not show on the missed call list. This further underscores my earlier statement that most people are probably not aware of the issue.
I did see a few threads on car-specific sites as this problem is not unique to the iPhone. There are other phones that Infiniti does not support as well.
For your loyalty, you deserve a badge of honor:
Hey thanks
I also drive and talk on the phone all the time.
Sometimes I even leave the seat up after I take a piss. Anyone got a problem can sue me or write me a letter
Not that any of you are in Australia, but just for interests sake, it's illegal to talk on a hand-held phone while driving in NSW (I can't remember the other states) You can only use hands free devices (for full licence drivers anyway- provisional drivers can't even legally use hands free devices).
Many US states have similar laws. Their enforcement, however, is another matter...
I like my iPhone more than the car.
Best quote ever.
If it makes you feel better, my Pioneer AVIC-Z120BT, which is Pioneer's latest "state-of-the-art" navigation system has the same problem. Call-waiting simply doesn't even register with the unit, and I have to manually switch calls from the iPhone 4.
VERY lame.
Wow, I just purchased a '11 Ferrari yesterday before I heard that it had the same problem.
OP, you should really write to Infiniti about this.
Already contacted them. Read my original post. This was to inform others of the problem in case it's a deal break for someone like a real estate agent who lives by their phone and missing a call might be material to their income.
And yet those laws do really nothing but line the pockets of hands free makers because it has been proven time and time again holding the phone in hand vs hands free have the exact same increase in the chances of a wreck happening.
If you don't want an Infiniti (don't buy one).
If you bought one and you don't like it (bring it back).
But you know you won't.

whats with the hate on Infinities? The G and M are the best cars I've ever owned. Is it because you drive a 99 corolla or what?
MB are some of the worst cars on the road. Its hilarious how people have been fooled into thinking they are good cars just because they cost a lot. For most of the last decade, they barely had any cars on the Consumer Reports recommend list. All my friends with them say their cars spend more time at the dealer than their garage. What a joke.
Infiniti on the other hand, makes a quality, reliable product. Maybe thats why Infiniti ALWAYS beats MB in car comparison tests. Most of the time Lexus too.
Perhaps, but it won't help the call waiting issue....Notice the "NA" for Call Waiting
Cars are not like a shirt you buy at Macy's...you can't just bring them back for a store credit or refund. (Other than some desperation deals being offered by a few manufacturers.)
I'm kind of surprised by that. Is there an entry for the iP4? I think it has to do with the version of Blue Tooth that is being used. My Routan has similar limitations. I would expect on a high end car they'd have all the bells and whistles. Or is the 3GS using a different Blue Tooth spec? If so, even flashing the firmware on the vehicle [heh, I still get a kick out of that] won't help.
[edit: Oh yeah, people should pull over and stop driving when using any cellular device, hands free or no. Live a little and cut the strings that bind you when enjoying a ride, especially in a nice car. Listen to the voice mail and call back when you stop somewhere. Why all this need for instantaneous communications? And get off my lawn. /soapbox away
]I was equally surprised since our 2008 QX did have call waiting on the bluetooth on both my old 3G and IP4. Infiniti went backwards and that is what I am most upset about. I didn't even think to check for something like this. They added BT streaming of music and lots of other great tech features but removed call waiting.
