New maxima owner. Few questions about the radio/stereo
Just got a 2018 maxima sv. I've had it for only 4 days but so far I love it. My wife has a rogue also so I'm somewhat familiar with the nissan brand.
I have a few questions about the radio/stereo. I don't have the bose audio and my wife's rogue doesn't have it either,, but there is a huge difference in the sound between her rogue and my maxima. The maxima sounds much better and is ALOT louder than the rogue. Does nissan have different speakers based on model? Or is the audio upgraded in the maxima vs the rogue? Just curious more than anything. Also,, I've seen a bit online about the Nissan connect apps. I know there's different levels of nissan connect,, but I can't get any of the apps to work with the head unit in my maxima. I don't know if it's available on all nissan or just certain models. I had assumed it was seeing as there's a giant "nissan connect" logo that comes up when I turn my car on. Thanks for any help/advice

I never did sign up for the optional connect setup since it was a combersome interface with limited abilities

Steptide, congratulations on your new Maxima! Per this attachment, if you have a 2018 SV then you have the base audio system with 8 speakers. Can't tell you though how that compares to what's in your wife's Rogue. Also per this page, NissanConnect Services an option only for the Platinum trim level.

I'm also new to Android auto (I've been using Spotify,, Google and Google maps for years however) . Is it normal that Spotify doesnt show ALL your play lists through Android auto? Don't know if it's normal or I'm missing something

Steptide, hoping these links will provide the answers you're looking for. Note that at the bottom of that second link is an option to chat, email or phone Nissan for an answer. By the way, you do have NissanConnect. It's the expanded NissanConnect Services that's available only on the Platinum.

I just bought 08 Maxima and am trying to upgrade the sound system to Bose. I've got the complete Bose speaker and amp kit out of an 07 maxima I found at scrap yard. But the wiring connectors are different on speakers as well as amp.
I have a general knowledge of electrical wiring and converted the speaker plugs to the Bose system with no problems. My issue is with the amp wiring and plugs. Everything is completely different. Can anyone please help me in completing my sound system upgrade?.
And also, what if I want to add additional speakers (6x9 or 6.5") and possibly a couple subs (prob just one 10" sub) with a larger amp to push it.
Do the additional speakers need to be 2ohm or 4ohm?
The factory amp was labeled 2ohm but the Bose amp don't specify on it. So I'm not sure what I need to do exactly in order to have an absolute KICK *** sound Staten in here! Don't want window rattling bass.... Just CLEAR, LOUD, & BASS FILLED SOUND
THANKS IN ADVANCE
