Question on display
I have a quick question on my display. I have the 09 Max SV with Sport Package. I have the nav and all that stuff. On my 04 max I use to have a temp reading on the front so I could tell what the temp was outside. I don't have that on my new Max. Does anyone know how I can program that or can I even do it? Sorry for the lame question, And yes I looked for it in the Manual! Cheers!

temp reading
The outside temperature reading is in the rectangular information display at the bottom of the speedometer. There are several functions that can be selected, including average mpg, miles until empty, instant mpg, and outside temperature.

Losing the dedicated full-time outside temperature display is something I would definitely add to the "Things missed from the 6th gen" thread.

it was explained that it is simply moved. i would rather see MPG instead of Temp if given a choice. i don't need to watch Temp constantly to see if it drops 1 degree. checking once in the car is enough.

I am 'temp ****' (especially living where the humi-temp is often miserable), and record both the 'official' high and the 'observed' high in my diary every day. I probably check the outside temp several times an hour whenever I am in the car, more often when climbing or descending high mountains, and will have the outside temp displayed at all times. I would have enjoyed having the MPG displayed, but the onboard computer calculated MPG, although usually close, is not extremely accurate.
Under this new setup, I would think most normal Maxima drivers will prefer having the MPG or miles-till-empty displayed. Would have been nice to have temp separate from the other options, but I can deal with this new setup. It will simply take a day or two adjustment to look in this new place for the temp.

I'm thinking about taking Maxima09 and wanna ask you guys a question.
How is GPS works? is it like TomTom good? Is the map moving and everything? any problems with it?
I'm asking because I saw GPS on G35 2002 and it was terrible. It just showed you pictures of your next turns..
If someone can shoot a little of video while moving it'll be the best..
Thanks

It's a scrolling/moving map just like Tomtom. You also have Birdview. When you program a route, it'll show you a short list of turn by turns, and go back to the map with your route shown. As you come up on a turn, it displays the turn on 1/2 the screen and map on the other half.
The maps are just as accurate as TomTom. Your best bet to get a feel is go testdrive one and press the MAP button.

one more question to 09 maxima owners.
When you have incomming call coming in to your bluetooth paired phone, does it show the number on center display or mini dash display?
I have maxima 07, and it doesn't, and I so hate this.
Thank you.,

display screen. It overrides the audio and whatever else was on the screen at that time.

That's good to hear... pisses me off that my $100 TomTom can display Bluetooth caller ID and phonebook info from my phone but my '07 Max can't. I love the hands-free system otherwise, but I get reminded of this major shortcoming everytime the phone rings and I gotta dig the phone out of my pocket (not easy with seatbelt on) to see who it is.

There are 2 modes for voice recognition. Standard mode and alternate command mode. In alternate command mode there are many more commands available: navigation-26 commands, phone-6 commands, audio-6 commands, vehicle information-5 commands and climate control-2 commands. The two climate control commands are one that turns on the climate control in auto mode and one that turns the climate control off. There are no other commands like setting the temperature or changing the fan speed. I have not tried this yet on my car and as I have found out, the manual is not always accurate. There is a tire pressure command listed as a vehicle information command in the manual but it does not work. I suspect it is probably a case of copying and pasting from another manual and forgetting to delete it. This information is from the 09 owners manual.
