2 quick questions

[daan]

1. Can the TPMS thing be disabled or shut off somehow, especially for when I get nice wheels this spring?

2. How do I get the dash apart without damaging it to put my new stereo in? When I ordered the stereo, it said it came with directions, and when it showed up the sheet just said "No instructions available for 07-up Versas".

Thank you

1. the TPMS can't be disabled. if you get another set of wheels you can swap them over.

I am mixed on the TPMS. I was driving the car 6 months ago to work on the very busy I10 through Houston and the light came on. I ignored it as I had a false alarm the week prior. Well, this time it was not a false alarm. I ended up with an obvious flat but had no choice but to drive to the nearest exit and finally stop in a safe place. Of course I ruined the tire but $80 well spent vs what could have happened by stopping on the freeway shoulder. Anyway, I now pay attention to the lights in the Versa and our other cars. Worse case is I check all the tires and one is a little low. Put a tire gauge in your glove box if you have not done so already. My two cents worth. Fred

Mine's only come on twice, and both times because a tire was actually pretty low. What I didn't know the first time was that it may take several miles for the light to reset once the tire has been set to the right pressure. Since I was about to embark on a 300 mile drive, I took it to a nearby tire store to have it checked for a leak. Thankfully, they did it for free, but I lost an hour of my life in there!

THANK YOU for that link, now I won't F up the dash like the monkeys at Best Buy did to my last car. And apparently I'm not the only one who's irritated by the TPMS thing, either.
