In June 2016, Infiniti communicated instructions to retailers to update new vehicles in their inventory with 3G compatible telematics control units. At this time, Infiniti is beginning the process of making 3G compatible hardware available to owners of affected vehicles as identified above. This upgrade may require an owner make a co-payment in order to receive the 3G hardware update. Please refer to the chart provided on page 2 to determine if an owner co-pay is required. This client satisfaction initiative includes both the hardware upgrade and a complimentary one-year subscription to Infiniti Connection Plus telematics service; this does not apply to PC454 (see page 2 for details). Note: Vehicle eligibility will be viewed on the second page of Service Comm (except PC454). This activity is not displayed on the main page of Service Comm because it is optional for clients to participate. PC451, PC452, PC454 | Revision 1 ***** What Retailers Should Do ***** 1. Verify if vehicles are affected by this client satisfaction initiative using Service Comm I.D. PC451, PC452, which can be found on the second page, or PC454 on the main page. 2. The PC451 and PC452 notice on page 2 of Service Comm is not VIN specific and does not disappear after a vehicle has been upgraded. Service Consultants should verify if the vehicle is still eligible for an upgrade before informing a client. Vehicles not equipped with NAVI are not eligible as they are not equipped with TCUs. Verify applicability using one of the following methods: 1. Check vehicle service history for previous repair (PC451, PC452, or PC454). 2. Check the TCU ID number on the vehicle information screen. If the TCU ID begins with something other than 202**, it is a 3G TCU and does not require an update. For the QX60, Q70, and QX80: To identify if the vehicle has a 2G or a 3G TCU, complete the following steps on the head unit: 1. Press the hard button labeled Setting/Info. 2. Press the “Others” soft button on the center display screen. 3. Press the “Infiniti Connection” soft button. 4. Press “Unit ID information”. 5. If TCUID starts with “ 2021-1” it is a 3G device. 6. If TCUID starts with “ 2021-0” it is a 2G device. For the Q50: To identify if the vehicle has a 2G or a 3G TCU, complete the following steps on the head unit: 1. Press the soft (on-screen) button labeled Setting. 2. Press the “>” soft button on the center display screen. 3. Press the “In-Touch Services” soft button on the center display screen. 4. Press “Unit ID information”. 5. If TCUID starts with “ 2021-1” it is a 3G device 6. If TCUID starts with “ 2021-0” it is a 2G device Note: As indicated above, TCU IDs that begin with something other than 202** are 3G TCUs and do not require an update. PC451, PC452, PC454 | Revision 1 3. If applicable, retailers should ensure clients are informed of this 3G upgrade option when bringing their vehicle in for service and that clients understand a co-pay may be involved. 4. Retailers must obtain client approval in advance of the upgrade being performed. If client approves, update the vehicle using the procedure included with this announcement.

Q50 Owners will begin being notified in November, 2016 Repair Owner Notification ***** Retailer’s Responsibility ***** It is the retailer’s responsibility to check SERVICE COMM using the appropriate Campaign I.D. for the status on each vehicle falling within the range of this client satisfaction initiative which for any reason enters the service department. If a VIN subject to this client satisfaction activity was part of a retailer trade, the letter associated with that VIN should be forwarded to the appropriate retailer for upgrade completion. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): Q. What is the reason for this client satisfaction activity? A. AT&T will discontinue its 2G cellular network coverage on December 31, 2016. Like all cellular-equipped devices designed to connect to the 2G cellular network, Infiniti models with a 2G-compatible telematics control unit (TCU) will be unable to use or receive services from that device after December 31, 2016. Without an upgrade to the TCU, Infiniti Connection™ features will not be available after that time and may be impacted prior to that date depending upon AT&T’s proprietary decisions regarding discontinuing 2G network coverage. Also, AT&T stopped accepting new enrollments on the 2G network on July 1, 2016. If an affected vehicle has not had a hardware upgrade and was not enrolled in Infiniti Connection™ before June 30, 2016, then it will not have access to the available Infiniti Connection™ features, including Emergency Calling and Automatic Collision Notification, until the upgraded hardware is installed. Q: What is 2G cellular network access? A: 2G refers to “2nd Generation” digital cellular telephone technology; it is the name of a specific network that mobile telephone equipment uses to provide connectivity. Q. Which vehicles have 2G compatible TCUs? A. The following models equipped with navigation have 2G-compatible TCUs: 2013 Infiniti M37/M56, JX35 and QX56 2014-15 Infiniti Q50 2014-15 and some 2016 Infiniti Q70, QX60 and QX80 PC451, PC452, PC454 | Revision 1 Q: What happens if I do not replace the TCU? A: Once the 2G cellular network is discontinued, the TCU will no longer be able to access the Infiniti Connection™ features, including Emergency Calling and Automatic Collision Notification, without a hardware upgrade. New vehicles sold after June 30, 2016 will not be able to be enrolled in the complimentary trial for Infiniti Connection™ until the hardware has been upgraded to be compatible with the 3G cellular network. Q: Will the new TCU hardware work with the 4G cellular network? A: No. The new TCU hardware is designed to connect to the current AT&T 3G cellular network technology. Q. Why is Infiniti using 3G technology rather than 4G? A. Infiniti has studied how to integrate newer technology into your vehicle and developed solutions aimed at delivering a hardware update option with the least inconvenience to clients. The 3G network is supported throughout the U.S. by AT&T. However, Infiniti has no control over availability of any cellular network. Q: How much will the replacement TCU cost? A. Clients are asked to participate in the cost of the parts and labor to upgrade the TCU. The client co-pay amount varies by model year and is listed in the chart below. Infiniti will cover the balance of the upgrade cost and include a complimentary one (1) year subscription to Infiniti Connection Plus telematics services (PC451 & PC452 only). PC454 will receive a complimentary six (6) month trial to Infiniti Connection Plus telematics services. The Infiniti Connection Plus telematics services subscription retail cost is $308/year. MODEL M37, M56, JX35, QX56 Q50, Q70, QX60, QX80 MODEL YEAR 2013 2014 CO-PAY AMOUNT PNC $299 PC451 $149 PC452 $0 PC454 *Only certain 2016 model year vehicles are affected (2016 Q50 are all equipped with 3G TCUs from the factory) Q50, Q70, QX60, QX80 2015-2016* ** PC454 applies to new vehicle inventory service action released June 29, 2016 Q: A client has a 2G-equipped Infiniti and is enrolled in Infiniti Connection™. Why do they have to pay for a replacement TCU (PC451 & PC452 only)? A: The discontinuation of the 2G cellular network is outside of Infiniti’s control. The Infiniti Connection™ subscription agreement states that clients are responsible for any hardware upgrades due to changes in telecommunication systems. However, Infiniti is including a complimentary one (1) year subscription to Infiniti Connection Plus telematics service when an owner elects to upgrade to a 3G compatible TCU. A one (1) year subscription to Infiniti Connection Plus telematics service is currently valued at $308/year, which is more than the owner co-pay for this client satisfaction initiative. The one (1) year subscription will be added to any remaining time currently on an owner’s trial enrollment. If the client already has a paid PC451, PC452, PC454 | Revision 1 subscription on their 2G equipped vehicle, the current subscription will be cancelled and a prorated refund will be sent to the owner after the new 3G compatible TCU upgrade is completed. Q: Will the SOS button in the vehicle still work? A: If an owner of an affected vehicle enrolled in an Infiniti Connection service trial or subscription prior to June 30, 2016, then the SOS button in the vehicle will work through the service trial or subscription period as long as the vehicle’s telematics hardware is connected to the cellular network. If an owner of an affected vehicle did not enroll in an Infiniti Connection™ service trial or subscription prior to July 1, 2016, then the SOS button in the vehicle will not function until the TCU is upgraded. Q: Will my vehicle's navigation system feature be affected by the discontinuation of the 2G cellular network? A: No. If your vehicle is equipped with an Infiniti Navigation system, the navigation system is unaffected by the discontinuation of AT&T's 2G cellular network. Q. What will be the service department action? A. If an owner elects to upgrade to a 3G compatible TCU and agrees to pay the applicable copay, the retailer’s service department should install the 3G hardware using the procedure accompanying this announcement (see instructions after FAQ). Q. How long will the upgrade take? A. The upgrade will typically take under two (2) hours to complete. Q. When will vehicle owners be notified? A. Infiniti began notifying owners of potentially affected vehicles in September, 2016 via U.S. Mail. Affected Q50 owners will be notified in November, 2016 via U.S. Mail. Owners may contact Infiniti Owner Services at 855-444-7244 to verify if their vehicle is affected by this issue. Q. Are parts readily available? A. Yes. Parts were automatically shipped to retailers and began arriving on September 6, 2016. Q50 Owners will begin being notified in November, 2016. Retailers can order parts as needed through the normal process; parts are not restricted. Q. Will a courtesy vehicle be provided while the retailer is servicing the vehicle? A. Infiniti may provide a courtesy vehicle for the client to use while their vehicle is being serviced. Courtesy vehicles are subject to availability and not guaranteed. Please check with your retailer for availability and further details. PC451, PC452, PC454 | Revision 1 Q. Will I have to take my vehicle back to the selling retailer to have this service performed? A. No, any authorized Infiniti retailer is able to perform this service. For Consumer Affairs: Please inform us of the retailer where you would like to have the upgrade completed. Q. Does this issue affect any other Infiniti (or Nissan) models? A. Model year 2011-2015 Nissan LEAF vehicles are also affected. Q. I did not receive a letter. How can I tell if my vehicle is affected? A. Please provide your vehicle identification number (VIN) to the retailer so that the retailer can check if your vehicle is included in this campaign. Clients may also contact Infiniti Owner Services at 855-444-7244 to verify if their vehicle is affected by this issue. Retailer Service Questions: Q. What does Sirius XM need in order to complete a TCU Swap? A. The retailer should have the original (old) IMEI number, VIN, and the new TCU IMEI number available when calling to activate the new TCU. Retailers will also need to have the model, model year, sales country (i.e. USA), and marketing color name of the vehicle available. Q. Does an owner need to do anything after the TCU is swapped? A. Owner instructions are provided after these FAQ and before the technician procedure. Owners must follow these instructions to confirm their participation in the complimentary trial for Infiniti Connection Plus telematics service. If possible, we recommend retailers assist clients with completing this confirmation process. The instructions are on their own page, so they can be printed for the client to take with them for completion at a later time. Infiniti Connection Plus telematics service will not begin until the confirmation process has been completed. Q. Is it possible to identify if a vehicle has a 2G or 3G TCU without removing the TCU? A. For the QX60, Q70, and QX80: To identify if the vehicle has a 2G or a 3G TCU, complete the following steps on the head unit. If the TCU ID begins with something other than 202**, it is a 3G TCU and does not require an update. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Press the hard button labeled Setting/Info. Press the “Others” soft button on the center display screen. Press the “Infiniti Connection” soft button. Press “Unit ID information”. If TCUID starts with “ 2021-1” it is a 3G device. If TCUID starts with “ 2021-0” it is a 2G device. PC451, PC452, PC454 | Revision 1 For the Q50: To identify if the vehicle has a 2G or a 3G TCU, complete the following steps on the head unit: 1.

If TCUID starts with “ 2021-0” it is a 2G device Note: As indicated above, TCU IDs that begin with something other than 202** are 3G TCUs and do not require an update. Q. What if the 2G or 3G TCU part is missing the IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number that is used to identify the TCU? A. The IMEI number can be found on the label adhered to the TCU part. If this label is missing or is not legible, you can use the SIM ID/ICCID instead. The SIM ID/ICCID is located on the head unit “Unit ID” screen, you can locate this screen by following the steps in the question above. You will need to locate this number prior to calling the SiriusXM agent to deactivate the 2G TCU and activate the 3G TCU. Retailers will also need to have the model, model year, sales country (i.e. USA), marketing color name of the vehicle and VIN available. Q. Is there a matrix for which vehicles are equipped with TCUs? A.
