Ok, first off.. does the sport/tech package have the dvd player? if so, how do i get mine to work because everytime i put a dvd in it says error. sorry for the noobie question i was just under the impression that i have a dvd player

 

does the thing have the DVD logo on it? If not, then nope it won't work

 

and by "thing" you mean...?

 

The head unit. The thing you put a cd in. There are logos on it, it should say CD, DVD you get the idea.

 

make sure parking brake is on also

 

Parking brake? I thought the car just had to be in park? Lol

 

2009 models do not have DVD, it started on the 2010 models.

 

yup. i guess they wanted to make sure you really aren't driving.

 

guess i need to check that out then

 

I tried playing a DVD through the inputs from a portable DVD and still would not work. I would get an annoying buzzing from the speakers. I have a 2011 with Premium w/Tech non navi. I was told by the dealer it would play video through the inputs if the parking brake was on...

Any thoughts?

 

Are you using the correct inputs? Double check. Oh, and just because a dealer says something doesn't make it so.

 

yeah parking brake has to be on. there's a bypass you can do that lets you run it all the time, theres a thread on here about it. theres even a secret config mode you can go into (at least on Infiniti's) that you can do things like turn the reverse cam on while driving, couple other random things

 

Does this bypass cost you anything like many do and a lot for some wiring changes, or is it snip a wire an BAMMM watch movies while driving????

 

its mostly just grounding a wire from what i understand, not any parts or a kit just a method really. i never did it cause i just put a tablet in my car, so cant really give any feedback on how easy it is to do

 

Oh believe me, I know that. I knew more about the car than the salesman. I read the manual but it is unclear. I figured a portable DVD player or a playstation would work vie the inputs... parking brake applies and would choose aux and it wouldnt show any video... Confused...

 

you basically have the same car as me...you can watch dvds?

 

no, but if i have something plugged into the RCA inputs in the center console it gives me that message that the vehicle must be stopped or whatever and I need to engage the parking brake before it will display any video feed on the screen.

 

I do that and the screen does some funky things turns black than gives me an error... Could it be broken???

 

definitely shouldn't do that. make sure you know how to reproduce the error and take it to Nissan and show them

 

Def take it to Nissan, then complain to the body shop

 

just out of curiousity which dealer did u buy your max from??
