: Yet another Noob!!!
Seand1111 05-22-2007, 02:45 PM Yep, just signed the loan papers this morning on an 07 SE w/ Leather, Sunroof, and DVD.
Funny thing is, we have not seen it yet :p .
We went in last Saturday to the dealer to look at one on the lot w/ leather and DVD, but the wife decided she also wanted the Sunroof, so they found it, we negotiated (not much negotiations, they came 10k off sticker right off the bat) and we left with a Demo model. Our truck should be in today!!! So far, I really like the Demo, it has everything we wanted but the sunroof and its the wrong color, but i like the features and the power (We came from a 99 Expedition E.B.). When i get pics, i will post them.

Welcome to the Club!!!

Seand1111 05-22-2007, 03:35 PM Thanks! We are chomping at the bit to get ours. We did get a call from the dealer just a bit ago saying it was in, they were/are doing the alarm and DVD (we did get an aftermarket with a bigger screen) install, so it might be ready tonight, but otherwise it will be ready in the morning for my wife to go get!!!
Most of us have aftermarket DVDs and some of us have wired them in to work identical to OEM. When you have time, you might want to read through these for later, it's much, much easier than it looks. ;)

Seand1111 05-24-2007, 10:00 AM Well, we finally got it last night. I LOVE the truck, but am a bit disappointed with the DVD player. It’s an M&D, it looks good, but it vibrated like there is no tomorrow. I am also having a problem with the wireless head sets. My kids were complaining that the sound was breaking up. When stationary it is fine, but one on the road, it does break up, maybe the unit vibrating?
Well, kinda sucks to have a new car that you have to return for service so soon. I know it’s not Nissan, it’s the aftermarket crap. Been reading here about a bracket that needs to be installed, do the 07’s come with this or is this still a remedy for 07’s?
I did get some pics and will post them later when I get back home. We are very pleased with this new truck; it even has a few things that we did not know it had, like the auto rear door.
Oh, question! In the center console, the open area between the gear shifter and the covered portion of the console, I have a small switch in there (basically its just below the cup holders, on the opposite side as the “big” cup holder swing door thingy). Does anyone know what this switch does or have one themselves? I toggled it last night, but nothing happened.
My guess is that they probably put that switch in to turn on/off an FM Modulator that they installed for the DVD Player. The vibrating could be due to some loose or missing screws.
My DVD Player / Monitor is M&D too. The guys that did mine really jacked it up and busted my center console, so they paid for all the OEM replacement parts that I ordered. When I finished, mine totally looks and functions identical to OEM and I'm much happier with it than OEM. I took my time tearing down and rebuilding my Center Console, so I spent the evenings for a week rebuilding it.
If you decide to go this route, I'd be happy to take some updated pics and share the process that I went through in detail in addition to the links provided earlier in this thread. For what it's worth, mine turned out better than OEM when I finished and I'm not stuck with the overpriced OEM parts if something needs to be replaced later thanks to llajumpvid and baseballfanz.

As for the switch in the console, probably something the previous owner put in, trace wire back to see where it goes.

Previous owner was the Nissan factory...........:p I still have no idea what it does.

Have you happened to try tuning your radio to the station that the DVD plays over and flipping the switch while a movie is playing to see if the sound turns on and off if it is the FM Modulator??

Actually talked to the dealer on Friday about what it was. For whatever reason they hooked the DVD player into the Aux of the radio, so the switch allows me to Play the DVD through the radio or isolate it and play an Ipod instead, while the kids listen to the DVD through their headphones.
That's not too bad then. :)
