Been a long time since I've posted....I had a 94 Maxima and went through a few cars since then and am back with a 2010 SV model with "premium package" (based on a VIN decode i ran). I bought yesterday...dark blue, only 36K Miles.

1) On the back up camera there is a "predictive course" feature. i went to my settings to try and disable it, but it doesn't give me an option to switch it off. Is this a Canadian model thing? Or what am I missing?

2) Are there back up sensors that should beep as i get close? I never heard any. Maybe it's been disabled? i played with Beep settings and they seem to be on.

3) Do these use TPMS sensors? I want to get a spare set of rims/winter tires. If yes, do i need a model specific sensor or can I get cheap sensors from somewhere (like ebay)? Any links or info on that would be sincerely appreciated

4) Bluetooth. Was quite disappointed to discover BT is only for phone calls and not music. I did find the RCA jacks in center console and used a RCA to 3.5mm headphone jack, so at least I can plug in my phone and listen through AUX.

Funny, on the woodgrain face of stereo trim it shows Bluetooth, MP3 and Gracenote. This implies to me that the stereo is capable of BT. I looked in my manual and I don't think my stereo is capable of this feature as there was no setting asking for BT when I played with it. I also don't have NAV.

Can a used head unit that has NAV and the BT music feature be easily swapped and installed, or is it wired completely different?

Any after-market options to completely replace and use something with built in Nav and BT?

thanks very much for any help.

OK, i can answer a few of these for others...

1) still can't figure out how to remove predictive course
2) no back up sensors...watch the camera!!
3) yes, need TPMS sensors. I bought a set of 4 "OEM" , new, on ebay = $50. Yet to install. i will have Costco do it and calibrate. i also thought about used ones but research suggests they have a shelf life. You can buy rebuild kits, etc... but not worth the hassle to me when new are $50.
4) other threads on stereo seem to indicate it can't be replaced with factory NAV, nor an after-market set up. . I am using the 3.5mm input and that works fine. There is also a USB port in the centre console.

Thanks I had posted a reply before but apparently it didn't post. I had some of the same questions you did. Bought my 2010 SV about a month ago.
