I'm with you on the missing RDS in the S model. I just assumed when I purchased his car that RDS would be included. Is there a way to enable RDS in this car?

Install factory/oem Navigation in 2010 Maxima S
This is a late post but I have been working on a similar project this thread has been discussing. I have a 2010 Maxima S (80's display screen) and my project was to add the navigation to it. I found the complete navigation system on eBay (nav display, switch assembly, gps antenna, control assembly, back-up camera). I thought this was all I needed but ran into a major roadblock.
The harnesses are completely different from the different models. I than ordered the complete harness from Nissan with the navigation connectors and ran into another roadblock. After swapping my complete main harness with the new harness my car did not start/power on. I noticed the main harness connector that plugs into the computer are different. My connector has fewer wires and the one with navigation has more but I am not sure why that could've caused the car not to start.
Has anyone made it this far with their project or succeeded? Is there away to extract just the navigation wires and install like that?

I don't think the base radio looks that bad, just the bar between the HVAC and audio display is kinda weird.

I should have got the upgraded tech package but the deal I got on my Maxima S was an offer I couldn't refuse. I got a new Maxima S with upgraded leather for 25k and the Maxima SV models with tech package were starting at 38k so it was a 13k difference which I believed was not worth it.

Yes when I went to the dealership I wanted the SV models but it was just too pricey and the salesperson asked me what was the most important things I wanted in my car and I said leather and sunroof. So they ordered the leather seats and put them in for no additional cost. But once I got the car I started disliking the orange screen more and more which started me with the conversion project.

Has anyone just tried to leave the stupid orange screen uptop, and put an aftermarket double din unit where the even stupider 6 disk in-dash CD changer is? I know there is an install kit avail. Heres the link.

The monitor package started with the 2010's. For us '09s it was either Tech or nothing... Personally I was kinda mad when I found out the '10s have a better color screen and XM weather

Does anyone have a picture of just the Monitor Package (no nav)? I just got my SV Sport and I too have the amber display. I didn't know anything about the monitor package and thought Nav was the only way to get it, and I didn't want the Nav package.
The dealer only had 1 sport so I didn't know what I was missing and now I'm kind of pissed that I missed out on that option.
I can't believe there is no easy way to add it. I could care less about the camera, I'd just like the full display for the radio and such.....

lol your hysterical, seriously though I bought the car used from a friend, had no choice. I also assumed it would be an easy fix. I dont understand why they made it so difficult, oh wait they want to take our money. lol harness should be the same and lcd/headunit should be plug in play. Im asking for too much L know. lol

I would think adding the monitor wouldn't be that difficult but these days electronics are very complex anyway.

Thanks for posting pics....Now it makes me even madder!
I agree with Faymus, it seems ridiculous that a car this expensive would not include this in the upper trim levels. I can maybe see it as an option on the SV, but when you get the Sport Package, it should be included.
I'm not sure what bothers me more, the fact that I didn't know about it, or the fact that the dealer didn't know about it.

It's always been Nav or no Nav and made the choice easy...this just through a wrench into the deal and kind of irritates me...It makes the car look so much nicer, and $700 is nothing when you consider the price of the car as a whole.

Yeah, I called my sales guy yesterday and he seemed like he'd have been willing to trade me, but he said there are only 8 Sport/Monitor cars in the US and the only black one is in Mississippi. So way too much effort especially since my car has already be titled.
Owell, I can live without it as I truly do not want/need the Nav.
I told him he can make it up to me by making me a smoking deal on a 2011.

I said the same thing...I suspect he was referring to a Black Sport/Monitor car...
Owell, I'm ok with it. I really love my car, and it's a really minor feature in the grand scheme of things.
I will wait and see what they do for the 2012 models...

Yea thats a good perspective to have, maybe someone will come out with a way to fix this, I've seen the amber screen and it was really not that bad at all.

The only reason I don't like the the orange screen is because it seems out of place. The black bar in the middle makes it look like you are missing something. I like the ipod and phone controls, not to thrilled about the camera. I will see what happens this weekend when I get the monitor out.

I was wondering have anyone without nav but have color screen used the garmin 53 as a nav because it can plug up to your RCA jacks. But there are a few problem because u will have to control it with a remote and u will also need have parking brake on view the unit's video from your screen. I was wondering have anyone see this device in action. Because it sounds interesting.
