Can someone please post some pics of the new '06 non nav screen? I think I want to try and upgrade if possible, thanks!

 

Is there anybody out there?? Come on, someone with an '06 can hook me up with a couple of pics!

 

I am also very interested in this. I hope someone posts a pic. I would also like to go color if thats possible without the nav.

 

with the screen on or off?



i'll snap a pic with the screen on when i get my digicam back from my cousin tomorrow. (but i'm sure by then someone would have posted theres )

 

he wants to see how it looks on. if there is a difference he will try to make the switch..

 

ah, gotcha. if only i have my camera right now...

 

TIME OUT

lol damnit nissan i just bought my 06 max like last month and i barely got 2000 miles on it, and your telling me that they gotta better screen than this orange crap i got now

 

Yes on please when you get a chance...
And yes supposedly they switched the non NAV screen to color for 2006, this pic is from the Nissan site is definitely not the NAV screen and for sure not the orange LCD I have:

Or go to the site and click on the "Integrated Center Display" in the features section

ok, if this is true, then our orange display really does suck big time.

 

my 06 is the orange display...

 

My 06 has the orange display also, bought it 2 1/2 months ago

 

That's weird, looks like they will be changing it mid way throught the production year.
I think we need lightonthehill's input on this one!!!

 

Glad I got the NAV....

 

I don't know for sure but it looks the same to me. If anything, it looks as if it went from orange to yellow. But I'm sure it's all color distortion due to the size of the pic.

 

what screen shot is that? doesn't look anything that comes up in my 04' max, and how much do you think it would cost to upgrade from the Orange LCD --> Color Non Nav Screen

 

Well, I was at a nissan dealer the other day to check out the 06' max because I'm in the market to purchase one soon and it displayed exactly the same thing you see there on the pic. I'm not sure if the previous models had less info on the trip computer, but it was definitely still orange to me. And, I'm not color blind.

 

Yea my non nav screen in that sickly orange color too. I want to change everything to blue LED's but wonder if it is worth it.

 

Has anyone yet looked into whether you could add the color nav screen into a non-nav car and have the screen and controls work except for the nav? In other words, if you didnt care about actually having nav, could you swap the orange (or in my case, blue) display for a nav display and have the basic functions for climate and settings still work?

 

pretty cool screen...

 

So what is displayed in that pic, is definitely different than the basic orange LCD that I have. You can clearly see yellow in there and a blue background in the upper portion of the screen. But we've had 3 '06 owners say they have the crappy orange? That's why I was asking for confirmation with a pic from someone who has it...

 

The pic you're referring to on the nissan site looks all orange to me. I don't think there's even really any yellow. But it does look like it's displaying stuff we don't have...it'd have to be some amazing stuff to justify swapping yours out for another orange display i would think. But that's me.

 

That color screen is from the Nissan Quest.

 

I remember there was a thread when the 06's updates were released. That was one of the topics that the new non nav screen would be the same as the quest. Who knows??!?!?
Although it is blurry, I blew up that pic from the Nissan site, I know I can see yellow, wht text and a blue background on there. Maybe this will help you see it too.

 

i need to get nav..

 

That looks to be the same one that the '06 Murano has (along with LED tail lights).

 

I KNOW, I saw a new Murano yesterday, LED's! Dammit Nissan where's the love for the Max? The Murano gets 'em first, come on!!!

 

Even the new Accords have them now. Whats going on?

 

I've been interested in this too. Actually I saw one of your posts and i went on a scavanger hunt for a pic but just saw the one you have posted. I need to go and get my car serviced next week so I was thinking of asking them. I'd really like to get rid of the orange.

 

that looks exactly like the NAVI screen:

I visited dealer just to see if 06 screen changed and was told nothing changed for the screen

 

Just a note - they're no LEDs in there. It's an LCD screen. I know it doesn't seem like much of a difference, but's it's apples to oranges. (or maybe you mean LCDs).

 

Actually there are LED's in there, 18 to be exact...

Noobs

Standard screen = LED

NAVI screen = LCD

So anyone confirm if Standard has/will become LCD like NAVI??? or it's still LED Orange??

 

Oh my! My apologies, you're right. The LEDs illuminate the LCD matrix from behind. Wow - I've never seen that before. Cool.

 

No worries man, there's a lot of information floating around in here!! You learn a lot here on the .org (I never would have known either)

 

Thanks Jsmith. Yeah, there sure is. I'm glad I found this place. Cool folks here, too.

 

Yeah without this site, my car would probably still be stock!!!

 

Second that, nice wealth of knowledge here.

 

I actually found a brand new 7" nissan OEM Nav screen on Ebay for $50 dollars and I tried it and it started smoking when I hooked it up and it didn't display anything at all.

 

So I guess that's a no on that mod. Didn't think it would plug and play anyways, makes no sense that it would...

 

I figured if the plugs matched up then it might work and for only 50 dollars why not try at least.
