If any mods are monitoring this thread, please feel free to move this pdf to the TSB repository.

Very interesting. I had my screen replaced for this a year or so ago. I guess it's more common than I thought.

Apparently so -- looks like the unit is common to several Nissan vehicles

There appears to be several (possibly unrelated) issues known to crop up:

1. Screen randomly going blank -- the TSB I posted.

2. Intermittent poor ipod connectivity -- typically fixed with software update

3. General GPS issues -- software update

4. Failure to recognize ipod at all -- either bad USB port or software (and sometime, end user's fault for having cheap-o usb connector). There is a TSB for checking whether or not the USB port works.

All of the above are pretty common, but occur infrequently and somewhat randomly, so they become tough to troubleshoot.

I beleive the TSB for the blank navi screen issue actually says the tech is supposed to "confirm what the customer says" rather than "duplicate the problem"...

Hopefully my problems are in the #1 and #2 range, so should be completely resolved after Saturday... I'll keep you guys posted.

I got lucky that my screen blacked out while I was on the way to the dealer for something unrelated. I dragged the tech out to see it before I even turned off the car.

Well, they replaced the screen and so far so good. I'll report back if anything wonky happens or if the problem resurfaces.

Allegedly, no navi updates for me tho...
