I just bought a 2020 Rogue. It was a returned lease. I have a couple of questions I am hoping someone here can help me with.

1) mine didnt come with the front tow hook. Was it suppose to? What is the proper factory # so I can get one

2) when checking out the spare tire, under the compartment there are 4 straps with eye loops on the ends what were just laying there. What are these for?

3) I have my music all on a thumb drive. When I hit Random, the songs shuffle. However when I turn off the car then turnit back on it shuffles tne same exact songs in the same exact order

Thank you

The tow hook is an accessory, they don't come with the car. The part number is 51112-1KA0A, but only IF your car has a receiver for it. Not all do, pop the cover and make sure there's a hole behind it.

Probably the straps for the relocatable deck shelves. Many people don't like or need them, they just remove them and toss them into the spare well.

I'm pretty sure it will do that even if the source is removed, most of the Nissan AV's buffer songs into memory while playing them. I also doubt the "random" function is truly random, that depends how the AV is generating the random seed number. It may not be based on a true random factor like time of day. Lazy programming, but there's a lot of that around these days.

Ok i just checked. I do have a threaded hole for the hitch. Where would be the best place to get one

A shame about the radio. I wish they would address and fix the issue

You can get them on eBay for as low as about $30, just put the p/n in the search bar. There's also a -1KA0B version that's identical but a different supplier, try both numbers.

3 people ive messaged on eBay are telling me that 51112-1KA0A will not fit a 2020 Rogue. And some on eBay don't use actual photos or use stolen photos. Why the heck didnt mine come with one?

I’ve never owned a car that came with one and I’ve owned multiple brands, foreign and domestic.

The only other one I know about for late models is 51112-1JA0A (also 51112-AC700, 51112-AC70A), but that fits Sentra/Versa and mostly earlier models. The -1KA0A fits all the gen1 Rogues, but I just checked in NPD and they don't actually show a hook for the gen2's. Nissan doesn't identify the thread sizes either, so you might just need to hit the U-Pullit and try some stuff. I'm stumped.

PS - AllThingsNissan and Z1 both show the -1KA0A fitting the gen2's, so maybe Nissan just screwed up and omitted it from the parts dbase. That wouldn't be the first time.

Really? My 09 Mazda 3 i use to own (until 2 weeks ago) came with a hook.

So the 2020 is a gen 2? Im very new to Nissan and I'm not a car guy

Yep. Gen1 is the original design, produced from '08~'13 and continued as "Rogue Select" in '14~'15. The gen2 came out in '14 and ran through '20, '21 started the gen3's.

2020 was the last model year for the 2nd gens.

To get almost all of the part numbers for your car, enter your VIN at https://www.nissanpartsdeal.com/

P.S. It's not necessary to use the quote feature for every reply.

Does that site sell OEM or aftermarket parts?

Thank you

OEM, with a factory Parts Warranty should you need it. They're Nissan authorized (because they're actually a consortium of Nissan dealers).

weird, i entered my VIN on that site and it says that part does not fit my Rogue

That's what I meant, evidently something is ka-ka in Nissan's database. Like I said, NPD is a collection of Nissan dealers and their dbase is the official Nissan one. So why it's showing up as a no-fit, I have no idea.

forgive my ignorance ...or my better yet my Naivety what is NPD

NissanPartsDeal.

has anyone come up with a solution for the "radom" issue for the radio?

Not that I'm aware of. There was a firmware update for the '20's, but that wasn't one of the bugs mentioned. You can check the version yourself. Turn the audio off, hold down the MENU button while simultaneously twiddling the tuner knob back and forth. You should get a diag menu, press CONFIRMATION & ADJUSTMENT -> VERSION INFO. The top line will be 810 if it's current. If it's anything else, then check the third line to see if your head unit part number is on this list:
2591A-7FM0A
2591A-7FM0B
2591A-8FM0A
2591A-8FM0B
25915-7FH0A
25915-7FH0B
25915-8FM0A
25915-8FM0B
2591A-7FM0B
If it is on the list, visit the dealer and tell them you need the IVI001 update. If it isn't on the list, tell them you need the IVI002 update. The applicable bulletin is NTB21-029c.

One thing you might try is to delete the MP3's off the flash drive and then put them back on the flash drive, in whatever order you like. I know some factory radios are real funny about playback order, whether it is in random or alphabetical order. My wife's Rogue is like that, it will only play the flash drive in the order the songs were written to it, so if I add a new album it is always down at the bottom of the list on the display, regardless of the title of the album. We both like for the album list to be in alphabetical order, it makes it easier to use while driving. The only solution I have found for an incorrect order of MP3 albums on her flash drive is to erase and re-write the full MP3 album list back to the flash drive in the new alphabetical order. The radio then will list the files in alphabetical order and random play also works like it should. This might not solve the random play problem in your car but it could be a simple solution, and might be worth a shot.

It wouldnt bother me if it picked up where it left off when i start the car again. Everytime i start the car its like Groundhog Day.

Ive tried deleting, formting the drive, folders, no folders and i get the same result everytime

My 2022 Tacoma came with one and it's literally the most basic Tacoma that can possibly be purchased. (It's a super basic special order that doesnt' even come with rear seats)

It has a tow hook on the front in front of driver's side.

That said, you are right that none of my cars (not trucks) ever came with one.

But maybe lots of SUV's come with them? I don't think I see a lot of them so I think you are right.

Our 2015 had one in the glove box when we bought it new.
Maybe the original lessee kept it? Or maybe the dealer?
