Check it out. That inbetween navi/base radio is kinda neat. I like how that usb is in the center console. What do you guys think?

i kinda like the whole USB thing in the middle console... but i HATE ipod... i don't believe in apple... what about the people who don't do ipods? smh....

and on a side note. i want the rear view camera... there has to be a way to get one without having to attach it to the license plate frame. because i don't have mine on, too much rattling.

Watch the video again because you missed it. You can put a USB flash drive in there or any MP3 player that supports mass storage mode.

I don't like how companies automatically assume everybody has an Ipod nowadays.

I do have an Ipod, and a Macbook and I love them but I know not everybody does and it's stupid the way they just say Ipod when referring to all mp3 players.

My mom just got a new Honda Pilot and it has the usb plugin thing in the center console as well, it's pretty cool. But I must say the menu screen on the Honda is a lot better (or so it seems)

Nice find! I agree with how too many companies are tailoring their products towards the iPod. For 2k to upgrade to the little screen, I think I'd prefer my Kenwood head unit that'll give me Nav, DVD playback, separate USB and iPod (video capable) connections.

I do commend Nissan for putting up some nicer wheels for the 2.5 though. The 16's carried over from the sedan makes the car look so cheap What I do find weird is the no cost difference for the manual compared to the CVT.

DAAN.

Easy, people who dont do ipods eventually realize that ipods are amazing and buy one. (that used to be me!)

how easy/hard would it be if i wanted that the audio systems in a 09? Or maybe there is a better audio system i could buy + install that provides ipod integration?

Having a Ipod hook up makes everything so much easier. The Aux input sucks because i have to scroll the music with the actual ipod. And up here in Toronto new law that you cant be using any device while driving unless its handsfree.

ya i remember nissan calling the speakers in the back "subs". so if those are the "subs", where are the rears? or are they like right next to each other, under the plastic?

Yeah if the clips and the mounting points are the same on the 2010 models and 2008 models you's have to replace both fenders, hood and front bumper.
