Hello,

We already own a 2016 Rogue and we love it. I am looking to sell my MK6 GTI and get a 2012 Rogue as my daily driver.
This weekend I am going for a test drive, is there anything in particular that I should ask and look out for?

Also, this car comes with back up camera but no GPS and no Satellite Radio. I don't care about the GPS but I really want Satellite Radio.
Are there good aftermarket options out there for a clean, plug and play install that will keep the back up camera and give the Satellite Radio?

Thanks
Mud

There are aftermarket HU that have touch screen capabilities including Sirius XM and Backup camera... Also, the 1st gen Rogues have a 10 year 100k mile CVT transmission warranty, so I suggest you ask the seller when the transmission fluid was last changed, if not, then you must negotiate the price of building of the transmission. Also, do a Pre-Purchase Inspection, while you are at it.

My 2012rogue came with built in satnav and XM radio. The hardware is out there. The GPS receiver is built into the antenna puck on the rear of the roof. Perhaps you can purchase the OE parts and swap it out?
