Hi,
My uncle just leased a new 2016 Maxima SL this past Thursday. So far he's very happy with the car, but he has told me that sometimes when he drives, he hears a sound that sounds to him a bit like a cat's meow. He did have his radio on the few times he's heard the sound. I asked if it was possible it was his cell phone, but it doesn't seem to be because he's had his phone for a long time and never heard this sound, but since he's had the Maxima for 4 days, he's heard it a few times. Does anyone have an idea what this could be?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Dan

 

Yes, its actually in the navigation. There's most likely a saved address in the navigation and every time you come by the address it makes the noise. I would say look in the navigation owners manual to fix it. Hope that helps.

 

Say what?

 

When you save a location on the map, you can go to its preferences and theres an option called sound. Thats where you can choose a sound from a list that plays whenever you come near that particular saved location.
I actually have that meow saved on for my home address. Sounds more like my cat waiting for me at home lol

 

I called my uncle this morning and told him what the sound is. He was very thankful to finally find out. At the moment I called him, he was at the dealership, about to leave the car there, and arranging for a loaner, to give the dealership techs a chance to figure out what the meow sound was. Of course, no one there knew it. Instead, he just asked them to deprogram his address from navigation, so the meow sound will stop. Thanks to ZeroCool1984 & maxima_sr for your great & quick help.

 

So both you and your uncle have new Maxima's? Cool.

 

The infotainment system is great- but its a lot to learn.
