1) Should the Nav system come with CDs for updates? If so, how do I get the newest version?

2) It didn't come with the headphones for the DVD player. Is there a website that i can get a better price then I would get from the dealer.

3) Did you guys get little chips of paint come off on the front and what did you guys do to fix it.

Welcome to NICOclub! Glad to have you as a part of the Armada/QX56 Forum!

1. The Nav system comes with the cd for the original version software that came with the vehicle when it was new. You can purchase updates from Zenrin at http://www.zenrin.com I believe version 7.3 is the newest version you can install on your vehicle.

2. Only thing I can think of is to check ebay. You may have to wait a little, but I am sure something will come up sooner or later.

3. With the paint chips, I cleaned the area and used touch up paint from Nissan.

Good luck and enjoy your ride!

Sorry another dumb question....

When I purchased the qx56 it has the sirius satellite radio antenna. How do I get this hooked up? I heard that you can use the factory radio for this. Is this true and how do I look into this?

Do you know if the vehicle has the Sirius receiver in it?

The way to know if you have the receiver is to hit the SAT button on your stereo, and if you can tune to the information channel (I have XM and it is channel 0) you know that the receiver is there. It is actually mounted underneath the driver's side dash, just above the gas and brake pedals. If you confirm that you do have the receiver, all you will have to do is call Sirius and get your subscription started, you will be enjoying wonderful music in literally minutes! Let us know how things turn out!

There is no SAT button on my radio, so I guess I don't have it. Can I still buy it and have it run through my factory stereo without the SAT button?

1) sorry, but the DVD map disc, you should buy it yourself2) try any IR headphone from Radio Shack - I am sure they should work. The IR H/P is not unique to Nissan - if you have a friend who has DVD system in their car, and they have IR H/P, I bet those will work with your DVD system.
