After 5 days I also noticed that the remote key fobs don't work to lock/unlock the car and open up the trunk. I could see this being the case where these items are disabled for storage or transport. It is a 2011 that I got new as the sales managers demo. He stated that he had never triedt he remotes when he drove the car. It makes sense because I went 5 days before I just wanted to make sure I locked the car and tried the key. Every other time I am right there and use the handle. I tried both keys and neither of them work.

 

If the batteries in your fobs were getting weak (or dead), you would get a display telling you that on your dash every time you started the car. So your situation almost has to be the shipping/storage setup. The dealer should handle that fairly quickly, and should give you an apology and something like a free oil change for your trouble.

 

I just wanted to follow up with everyone and let them know the fix. It turns out that my car was in "storage" mode. This is used when the car is first built so that is has a little draw on the battery as possible during transport and storage. It took them all of 5 seconds to get it out of storage mode. You simply hold down the turn signal and wiper stalks at the same time for a few seconds and viola it is in normal mode. My car now keeps the settings for heat and radio as when it was last turned off. Before I had to turn the climate control and radio on every time.

 

I have a 2009 S so I do not have stock fogs if I buy some fog lights is it plug and play or do I have to do some wiring in order for it to work?

 

i have a few led mods ide like to do but i am not savvy when it comes to stuff like that but i dont wanna pay 490$ to have it done lol so my question is for led strip lights with neg and positive connections how hard is it to do? considering the max doesnt have drl lights how do i connect them to be drl's or to come on as soon as the car is started?

 

Get the DRL n purchase the automatic relay switch n connect that to the battery

 

Is that by far the easiest way for a new-bee?

 

Yea for someone new.

 

have you done an led mod on 7th gen if so will i have to remove the front bumber to remove the headlights?

 

So I am a recently joining member, but have been slowly looking over the site now for the past month. I have tried alot of things with my 11 S model but they have never worked, damn internet sites lying about things. What i need is an HID kit for heads and fogs, plus a good sit to by fogs from since the S model does not come with fogs. I feel the car would look complete since i have the SV spoiler installed I just need fogs, and then a good 6k hid kit for both. Any help would be much appreciated, im tired of cheap websites.

 

Vleds for hid kits. As for OEM fogs, try eBay or courtesy Nissan part. Com

 

Thank you, already ordered the h11 6k kit from their, as for fogs would i need to buy another h11 kit or could i just change those bulbs?

http://www.dashzracing.com/09-11-nis...nm10-f-sm.html

i came across these fogs that have an option of adding H11 6k HID to them before the order...would these fit my 11, because i had bought previous Fogs that were "supposed" to fit and didn't, i dont wanna go through that trouble again. Also would these HID match the headlights?

 

If u want hid on fog Then u need another h11 kit. It should fit. The title said it fit 09-11 Max

 

I dont want to waste money on mods. So i want a tighgter on center steering feel and less body roll. I come from a VW CC which we all know how german car steering is. How can i achieve this feel through mods. I read that i may have to lower the car then i read i need a sway bar and a front tower bar idk can someone help please?

 

I HAVE A QUESTION... WHEN I FLOOR MY CAR (2011 W/ SPORT) THERE SEEMS TO BE A "BUTTON" AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PEDAL. IF I FLOOR IT, IT'LL GO.. BUT IF I PUSH DOWN HARDER (ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR) IT FEELS LIKE THE PEDAL CLICKS A BUTTON OF SOME SORT AT THE BOTTOM... DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THAT IS?

THANKS,
DAN

 

Does any one who owns a 2010 Max. have this sound somewhere in the body/frame in the rear of the car sometimes when you hit a bump??? It's not all the time, but it drives you crazzzzzzzzzy!!

 

Mine does the same thing and so the does any other nissan with a cvt that i have driven never figured what it does though!!

 

i noticed that also very weird

 

My buddy calls it the "kick plate", when given throttle it pushes the plate and gives full power for whatever speed you are at. Like an automatic car that downshifts for maximum power. Then again...he does a lot of drugs.

 

with the navi on my 2011 maxima, can you have a split screen showing half nav and half radio, like the channel info and artist/song info? my motherinlaws jeep does this i like how you can view all the info and have the map up at the same time, rather than our map with just the ch#. hopefully im just missing something.

 

I too wish the display would list both the Artist and Song Title in the lower part of the map screen. The best you can get is by pushing "Status" to display the song info at the top and route info on the bottom. Then again, that will only work if you have a destination provided.

 

Hey guys new here,


Bought on the 31st 32k miles, $24ishk plus negative added for impala.
09 Maxima, Leather, sunroof, heated seats and stearing wheel, bluetooth, non nav, non bose. I think its an SV. does have red stiching tho!. How do I know if its sport? And can some one verify it is SV? Sorry its been a long time since I jumped back into the Nissans. Ive been on the G37 boards way to long











Mods (planned at least.)

1st. Led and HID upgrades. (1/2 way complete 1/1/12)
2nd. Redo tint and add Bats overlays. Maybe black roof.
3rd. Idk, Vossens or RennForged.
4th, Akenbo BBK, just for looks (i think they will fit, might be 1st ever???)

 

Sport has silver stitching, spoiler, 19s and no wood grain. Sv has leather and fog lights I believe.

 

Well I have leather, 19s, fogs, heated everything, paddles, and HIDs. I take it I have an SV sport?

 

sounds like it. i think the easiest way to tell is if it has wood. the 19s could've been added.

sport

For those of you with Navigation, how often does NAVTEQ update maps? My 2011 Max's maps are seriously behind yet the NAVTEQ website continues to tell me I have the latest maps. I mean in the area where I live, it is 5 years behind on some of the streets. So far, I'm really dissapointed in the navigation package. I have little trust in it. With the Garmin I use in my other car, I get 4 map updates a year and have a lot more faith in it than the built in navi on the Max. Other opinions? Comments?

 

Unless they have changed recently, I believe NAVTEQ only releases a new version around once a year. I updated my nav around 18 months ago, and still do not have some subdivisions near me that had their streets in place in 2006. Yes, I found that a little disappointing.

 

Ok so I dont know what kind of oil was used last in it but I work at a dealership and get my oil changes for free. Can I jump straight to Synthetic? I get mobile one for free. 32K miles on it.

 

Can someone tell me how to change display color or monitor, I can only seem to get it to go light and dark. It has 1-9 on it when i am in the display settings but i can't scroll through colors. Or am i just plain wrong and you can't change the colors. I have the monitor package, no nav. 2011 sv premium.

Thanks

 

At 32K miles, no matter what oil may currently be in your car, you can jump to any kind of good oil your heart may desire. If you can get Mobile1 for free, grab it. Your car will love it.

 

Color theme:

Select the “Display” key, then select the “Color
Theme” key. The Color Theme select screen will
appear.

Select the key for the desired color. The appear-
ance of the background, arrows and bars will
change for all screens accordingly. You can
choose a black, blue or red color theme.

 

This is correct once a year at the end and/or the beginning of the year.

FYI no matter what car brand anyone desire if they use NAVTEQ its all the same whether its a AMG E63 or a Prius...

 

need help! i have a 2009 maxima s with roughly 18000 miles and up to date with oil change(mobile1). its about 20 degrees Fahrenheit outside and my car wont start. all electrical turn radio, speedometer, headlights etc but the engine hesitates to start. cleaned the battery from corrosion but to no avail. would call a tow truck but car is in my back yard.

 

Been signed up for a bit, need some help. My son drove his 2011 in this weekend, windshield washers worked fine. He got ready to leave the other morning and mentioned his washers quit working. I filled up the reservoir, but it still did not work. He assures me he never put straight water into the tank. It is now warmer out and it still does not work.

Any thoughts? It there a fuse on this? Is pump under the tank or somewhere else?

Thanks

 

It's interesting that the Maxima and Garmin updates both come from NAVTEQ, yet the Maxima maps are so far behind.

 

Its not ONLY maxima's... Every car brand that uses NAVTEQ are the same... there are streets that have been around for years and my TL nor my Maxima picks it up... Drove around my buddies 2011 XJ and same ****.. lol

Cant comment on Garmin I ready dont know...

 

ur buddy is right though if u put your max into sixth or any other high gear and floor it ill down shift automatically and your car will take off like a bullet. --------->

 

Hi,
I have a 2011 Max with 11000 miles on it. I have a question about the additional force required to steer at highway speeds. It borders on actually being tiring to make the usual little steering corrections needed while driving. It is especially annoying when driving long distances. I understand there is a REDUCED power assist at faster speed (the faster you go the less assist). Is it possible to electrically disconnect this so called benefit?? If so what would be the downside? I have had it to the dealer and he said he can't find anything wrong.

thanks for any help.

 

One time this happened to me in a parking lot, I took off the battery wires and placed them back on and tightened them up and it started right up, also, your battery may just be dead and able to power up the basics, this happened when my first battery went out, not sure but thats what I would try to go with.

 

Any one have any idea what bulb size the vanity mirros are?
