First of all, I friggin' love the car. I don't what else to say. Driving home on the interstate was awesome. This is probably the smoothest manual transmission and engine I have ever driven.

I have some questions that I haven't seemed to find an answer.

When I put the car into reverse, the trim on the shift boot has a tendency to pop out. anyone else with this problem?


I know that the bose sub in the rear has an amp to power it, but what about the front components, and rear speakers? Or are they powered by the HU?

 

Don't know about the amp question, but I don't seem to have that problem with my shift boot. Try opening the snap that holds it on and moving it up a little.

 

I believe that all the speakers except for the tweeters in the A pillars are powered by an amp. In previous generations the amps were on each speaker, however, the new ones are in a central location. Not sure where it is, guessing it is under the rear seat.

You could try doing a search on this subject if you would like more info.

 

My boot trim did that too on my '03!!!

It was buttoned on too high. It was well over the reverse ring you pull up.

It needs to be just below the depression on that ring where you grab it. There's actually an area just below that where it bottons on.

 

Sorry I'm not quite sure what you mean to fix it. Could you elaborate a little bit? thanks.

congrats.


what color combo is it?

any pics?

 

glad you like your Maxima. my shift boot doesn't pop out when I put it in reverse...have had car for 9000+ miles...no such problem.

grey lustre w/black leather interior, bose, sunroof, 6-speed of course. I'm really glad I got the 6-speed too, I was a little skeptical at 1st because I do a lot of driving but I had no idea it would be as smooth as it is. Also I have driven many maxima rentals at work and I wanted something that would be different.. darker color, leather, MT.. something original.

 

congrats to u!

 

The shift boot his held on by a button-snap (like one on a jacket). On the shifter, there is a part that looks slotted, that's where you should have the shift boot hold on and snap it closed.
