Something I discovered (I think), and have been meaning to share here regarding the 2007 Maxima with Bose (monochrome) and no-navi:

When playing a CD with CD-Text, or an mp3 disc with ID3 tags for song title, normally, and documented in the manual, you can press the [CLOCK/DISP] button to change the display to include CD Text Album Title ---> Song title. The text appears in the second line of the display.

What I discovered, and can't find mention of in the manual, is that if you have a CD with CD Text (or and mp3 disc with ID3 tags) playing, and you hit and HOLD the [CLOCK/DISP] button, you'll switch to a mode where the song title or album title text will occupy both lines of the display.

Normally, with just the second line of the display showing the song title text, if its a long title, the display will start the track with the first bunch of words and after a few seconds scroll to the second bunch of words (and third or more if necessary). After that, just the first bunch of words remain.

With this two line display mode, the full title (if it fits on two lines) remains on the display. It'll do the same scroll thing for the third (and fourth) line if there is one, and then revert to lines one and two for the static display.

Pressing and holding the [CLOCK/DISP] button will also toggle back to the one-line display.

and how much HP does this add?

Just puling your leg. Welcome to tht BIG org.

 

Thanks, Harry...

 

Thanks, learning about new stuff on the Max is cool.

 

ooo, lots of new guys. Welcome, Welcome

 

Xoomer, you on the 'other' site?

 

I wish this worked for the Sirius display also...

 

Thanks, good info...

 

LOL, thanks for the new info, communication is key in the 6th Gen forum...

 

LOL good one.

Just trying to be nice so that peeps don't bit-h when they don't understand my sense of humor or think i am always sarcastic. Plus I was/am a noob to some degree when it comes to cars,

Yeah, you're looking at comp geek.

 

yep, as long as we communicate we learn....you see I can be nice. LOL

 

You've been doing great and have earned your wings!!!

 

Thank you senor, means a lot.

 

......................LOL, Senior!!! Unless you're speaking Spanish...

 

I just tried this on the way in to work today and it it is also true for Sat display. It will put the radio button #, the station number and the label I think. (B1 Ch.20 20 on 20) for XM. nothing for standard radio, just the CD and Sat. Thanks for the heads up HGN2001!!

 

I have nav; wonder why it won't work for me...will have to play with it.

 

It's probably a feature of the simpler monochrome display, rather than the more intricate color Navi display. But do play with it and let us know your findings!

Harry

 

Well, aren't I the fool! The nav set-up has a "DISP" button which does the same thing. I guess I just never played with the system enough.

 

Here's another "almost" undocumented feature. The Bose 6-CD changer in the 2007 supports mp3 discs - that's known. What's almost undocumented is that the system also supports wma discs too. The manual doesn't state that it does, but it DOES state that files other than mp3 and wma won't be playable.

Today, just for the fun of it I made a wma disc and it plays fine in the '07 Max.

Harry

 

does not that state wma will be playable?

 

Hence the word "almost". The "wma" reference is only found in the "troubleshooting" guide.

Harry

 

does this work in an 04-06 maxima as well or only on the 07?

 

no mp3 for us

 

yea but our screen displays ID3 tags on cd's
