When I start my car I notice every once and a while my right side mirror is angled to the car and closer. Even with it being programs I have to adjust it, is this a common problem or easy fix?

I hear a rattle every once and a while I believe its under the hood, might be transmission or heat shield its whenever I need to accelerate really fast, I let off and it goes away. Any hints?

I got a GROM-BT3 Bluetooth integration installed recently and I was wondering if anyone knows how to program it to show: 1) The name of the song/artist on the display screen and 2) Steering wheel controls up and down to skip songs


Thanks guys I will be posting pictures of the car in next topic havnt gotten around to that yet. Need to find touch up paint hard to find color on car. :)

My mirror started doing that yesterday, usually its internal with the gears or motors but I'm curious what other peoples experience is with that.

As far as the rattle goes, it could be a heat shield, just tap on the exhaust with a dead blow hammer in random areas but it could also be knock from bad gas or worn spark plugs. How many miles are on the car?

If the engine is making noise while accelerating and not otherwise, perhaps your experiencing 'ping'/premature detonation? Is the gas you use good quality?

I just got the car in the end of May, It just hit 125,000 got it with 124k. I have been putting in preimum since I got it and I had an oil change done half synthetic blend. Also the spark plugs where changed before I bought it.

Also used a fuel cleaner recently, like I said it happens every once and a while but mostly when I go a little heavier on the peddal

It doesn't hurt to check what kind of spark plug was installed as well to verify it is OEM or better.

Pro-tip: Use ONLY NGK plugs in a Nissan/Infiniti vehicle. All others will cause issues. Tried and tested on many forums, etc.

Exactly, NGK has been my preferred plug of choice for many years now. And not just in Nissan/Infiniti. Anything else is usually just marketing hype that doesn't perform nearly as well.
