Newbie! Need some help!!

Hey all... i just bought my 1st maxima, i useto own an accord. i love the max so much better! its a 98, and i've got a few questions about it for you guys. hope u can help..

1st of all. its got the bose system with the cd player in the dash .. but no cd changer.. i wanted to know how i can hook my ipod up to the back of my cd player.. i plan on keeping the stock radio in there.. are there open rca jacks in the back of this baby? if not what exacatlly is back there? i dont wanna go tearing this thing apart till i know whats back there? thanks...

and... 2nd.. my alternator crapped the bed the 2nd day i got it, and ever since they put the new one in... my engine light has been on... i toook it back to the place and they said since the battery pretty much was dead for a few days, thats why its on.. they "reset" it with some code and it went off but only for like 4 hrs.. its still on... anyone know the code they used or how i can get it off, or "reset" it.. i dont really have the time to bring it back to the shop! hope u can help... later guys!

I think that's the best way to hook up the ipod.

The other two questions can be answered if you read the stickies at the top.

Goodluck.

See the ECU pages for reseting the ECU. You can also do a self diagnostic.

If your ECU went on again, it might be a problem your car is telling you about other than your alternator.
