Any modifications to the car? Aftermarket radio, amp, speakers? Remote starter? Non-factory lights?
Only non-OEM feature is Verizon HUM which is self-powered but uses a OBD Blue-Tooth sending unit.
Either the new battery wasn't fully charged or you have a parasitic draw sucking the juice out of the battery. We had an Infiniti G37x and it could sit for weeks and start right up.
Its the hum Google it they are known to cause battery drain and a whole host of other problems
