Lastly, I know there is an AUX funtion in the 2007 but I can't find the input. I have to believe we can play an ipod/mp3 through a normal headphone jack input right? (not through NAV screen but just through the stereo speakers directly)

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

These issues may be anything from an intermittent no start to head light issues and there are no specific guidelines for how this may occur. It seems, or at least from the last week I had at work that some of the earlier models have some issues inside the IPDM (Intelligent Power Distribution Module) that will not typically set a dtc that will indicate a failure. In the best examples I can remember the 2004 QX with 80k exhibited an intermittent long crank and very rough idle with no codes. The truck was running low fuel pressure by ~10 psi, but at the computer was registering the fuel pump signal. I had to make the decision to remove the interior to examine what appeared to be a full tank and its pump and sending unit. After investing about 4 hours in removing the interior and carpet to access to tank access hatch. The pump tested fine but since I had already done this work for free the judgment was made to replace the pump to save money in the long run as the filter was already partially restricted. After the fuel pump replacement I kept the car for a few days to check the fuel pressure and cranking time before releasing it and declaring the repair a victory. After starting perfectly for four days (approx 15 times) I made the judgment to release the car on a Friday and as Murphys Law would dictate the car acted up as soon as the gentleman came to pick it up. No amount of explanation makes you look like you know what you are talking about. This can lead to frustration of anyone who comes near it. If you truck starts acting funny remove the larger cover behind the battery and tap the little white box under the cover with the fuses and the wires with something like the handle end of a screwdriver. If the truck starts or stops acting up go get yourself a new IPDM. Good Luck thanks for your time.

For those of us in the north, that means all the snow and ice will be soon covering our roadways. I LOVE my '08 Armada, but I HATE the Michelin tires that were stock on this vehicle and Infiniti QX56 models. The biggest problem with the Michelins is the snow and ice traction. I was shocked at how poorly the Michelins performed in the snowy conditions. I now have about 24,000 miles on my Armada and the stock Michelins have been squealing a lot around corners.So, I decided to get some new treads! After much research, I decided to go with Michelin HTS Grabbers. So far these tires are AWESOME! Noticed right away a smoother ride. Also the sqealing is gone, and I can't wait to try them out in the snow and ice (although I am willing to wait a long time for winter, LOL). Anyway, price is great and my local Nissan dealer was willing to match the best price I could find, had them mounted and all for under $800. Tire Rack give them excellent reviews and great results for snow and ice. The other cool thing is it looks like the tires are making my truck sit up a little higher, and the tires appear to have a sort of offset that actually allows them to be a little wider than the rim. I am very happy!!! Hope this helps for those of you looking for new tires! So, I decided to get some new treads! After much research, I decided to go with Michelin HTS Grabbers.

I did when i was 14 and quit when i was 15. Now i just recently picked it up again and i vowed that i would never smoke in my car. But earlier this week i was stuck in traffic and it was driving me crazy so i had a cigarette. The traffic started moving again so i tossed the cigarette away but i left my window down slightly and there was a rattling noise comming from the window that was driving me insane. It's only the drivers side window that does it, and it only rattles when its open slightly. When it's open all the way or almost all the way it doesnt do it. I know that this was a problem in the previous years for Armadas... but is it common for the 2008's And also... does anyone know exactly what is making the noise or if i can have the dealer fix it Thanks guys.
