I've never actually seen this before, but I'd say it's possible. I'm guessing it could be something in the wiring...

Do you have the stock Bose system or aftermarket?

Maximas have a weird *** "double diversity" or some crap like that antenna, where it has the regular antenna and one incorporated into the rear window. If you're on a stock radio, theres probably bad wiring ot that antenna. Get an aftermarket unit, thye don't use the second antenna.

Ok sorry. I had to do that. Now I have the "Official Caps Lock Post" to link to.

You have to get an adapter to adapt it the normal antenna interface?. I found out the hard way that (at least in my car) the radio will not function if there is no antenna plugged in.

Here is what I could find:

If you go aftermarket headunit yes you have to get an adapter. If you're going aftermarket antenna with stock radio, you need help.
