Just wondering if the BSW, FEB and MOB features can be added via a software patch? I have the 4 cameras and it seems to me that all I need is software*. Is this available after market?

I didn't opt for it as it required the purchase of a "package". I was told I couldn't get it separately, which is odd.

*Yes, there is a switch to turn this off but I don't mind if it stays on. If the option requires the switch then I have the same question: Can I add this afterwards?

No they can't be added "via a software patch" as they require additional equipment beyond just the 4 camera system.

You should have ponied up the cash at purchase time as the items in the package are worth it. I have them all and they are certainly useful. Your safety and your family's safety weren't worth the extra money to you?

Thanks "Rogue One". I was just wondering :-)
"Frzinvt" - I knew it wasn't there but I was OK with just the 4-camera system for backup. I had that system in a previous Altima SL but without the 4 cameras just one camera and sensors, so I know how it works.

I'd be ok with no cameras, crank windows, no radio and a six speed stick but that's just me. All these high tech toys are going to make for an entire generation of people who can't do anything other than hold the steering wheel. It's almost that bad now. Driving has become a chore instead of fun. Pretty soon it'll be get in punch in a destination and take a nap, tesla is almost there now.

I watch people back out of their parking spots. They never even look behind them they rely exclusively on the camera (s). I've got a (1) camera in my rogue, I use it to check if there are any 3 ft kids immediately behind me and then I turn around so I can see what's back there.

As far as avoidance systems, I usually drive with my eyes open looking ahead, scanning left to right. I always assumed everyone else did the same maybe I was wrong.

As I posted in another thread here re: FEB. - DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY - IT DOESN'T WORK AS ADVERTISED BY NISSAN!

We have the 2017.5 SL with all the upgrades (Premium / Platinum) and you are correct - THE FEB SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK AS ADVERTISED, OR PRESENTED IN THE MANUALS - which clearly show the vehicle warning you about 4 car lengths ahead of impact, gentle braking 3 car lengths ahead of impact and stopping you about 1/2 car length ahead of impact with the object in front of you.

There is no misunderstanding - it simply doesn't work as advertised and represented by Nissan.

This one is going to lead to some large class action suits!

You mean you've never napped while you were driving??? :lolling:

I'd love a customized car like you describe, but with dark tinted privacy windows all around and a high quality stereo system. Stick shift, crank windows, manual door locks and mirrors, no air bags, no computers. Basically a 1960s SS with black one-way glass and an upgraded modern amp with subwoofer. That would be an awesome car.

Modern safety crap pisses me off.

What's with the spamming of the same repetitive stuff in almost every thread? Can you please elaborate this more clearly, and also if you got an issue, there is something called TURNING OFF the system. Also, ever heard of Dodge's marketing strategy and having crappy poor customer service?

I barely use my around view monitor system, as I love to drive any car (except any Toyota). At the most, only a back-up camera is needed, but nonetheless this is a technology age, not the craftsman age, where vehicles are becoming smartphones on wheels.
