The slip indicator on my 2014 note won't go off. Is there some way to fix this?

Sounds like an ABS or other electrical problem.
Take that bad girl back to the dealer and tell them "FIX IT!"

Just got it back from the dealer. They're claiming that this is due to an aftermarket stereo being installed. WTF?

Definitely not. An aftermarket radio does not void a warranty, especially on a safety piece!

Give them hell (politely and professionally) on their facebook page, make a new post in General Chat here and we'll get that fixed up for you if they don't start acting right.

Def raise hell about a safety feature not working. You can also call infiniti consumer affairs if the dealer wont budge. The dealer almost always has to listen to them and follow what they say.

If its easy enough, try putting the factory radio back in. If its still on, and they don't want to fix it still, call 1-800-NISSAN1

Definitely call corporate.

I had a suspension issue on my M35x. Went to the dealer twice...once they sent a rookie tech to ride with me and he didn't find jack. Then another time they had the service manager do a quick ride by himself (without me), and he also didn't find crap. I disagreed (they know me and that I know cars more than average customer), made a GoPro video showing the suspension rattling over bumps and sent it to them...still had pushback. Called corporate, sent an email to the manager of that location with the corporate 'incident number' and within an hour I got a phone call and a promise that a senior tech would ride along with me. Needless to say, the senior tech spent 30 minutes riding around with me and within 10 minutes of pulling into the shop he found the issue. Worn steering rack/bushings. Replaced under warranty.

This. And then tell them to shove it when the problem persists.

Just as the "dissenting opinion" here, this definitely could be an issue.

Considering the gauges and the body control module are integrated, I wouldn't be surprised if the audio system is somehow tied in as well.

Swap the OEM head unit back in, disconnect / reconnect the battery, and see what's up.

I'm wagering that it isn't the stereo. Why? Because I have had the stereo in for over a month, and this started 2 weeks into having the stereo in there. Just to be safe I'll put the radio back in but I'm seriously doubting that it's the radio. I already had a LONG talk with Metra about it, since they make the harness and two of their techs had never seen this issue before on the Versa series.
