Troubleshooting 2009 Nissan Presage: Navigation and Audio System Issues

Hey there, I have a '07 Nissan Primera which had a similar glitch. I'm definitely no car whiz, but can fiddle around with basic stuff. Took my car to my regular guy at the local garage, turns out my display got damaged (don't ask how). It set me back a cool 725 Euro, but that's all sorted now. Quick question though - Did anything out of the ordinary happen before your systems conked off? Any error messages or issues with the controls? That could help me give a bit more detailed advice. Cheers!

Hey, Appreciate your quick response! So, nothing out of the ordinary happened at all. The systems were working fine one evening and the next morning they just conked off, like you said. No warning, no error messages - they're just dead silent. I gotta tell you, your Primera experience strikes a chord! I'm hoping it doesn't cost as much though. By the way, I've driven my Presage for about 146119 KM, had a thorough service at the start of the year too. Let's see how this turns out, fingers crossed and all, right? Thanks again!

Hey, Wow, that's seriously a bummer. Just waking up to dead silent systems...sounds ominous! I feel you about the cost, no one likes shelling out big bucks for these unexpected issues. But hey, we love our rides, don't we? In my case, after the display got replaced, everything was back to normal. But just remembering, before heading to the garage I had tried a few things. Don't know if they'll help but worth a shot. Firstly, check the fuse box, see if any of the fuses linked to the navigation or audio system blew. If you find a blown one, swap it with a good one and see if the systems start working again. Another thing, my mechanic friend told me sometimes disconnecting the car battery for a few minutes and then reconnecting it can do the trick. It's like a hard reset. Just be sure to have your radio codes if needed after reconnecting the battery. And lastly, if you feel comfortable doing so, try removing the radio/navigation system and check the back for any loose connections. If none of these work, then chances are the hardware might be at fault. Then the workshop will be your best friend! Hope this isn't your case and it's just a little bug. Hang in there, and keep me posted!

Hey there, Thanks a ton for the sound advice! That's why I love this community, always ready to chime in with assistance. Definitely going to give those DIY tricks a shot tomorrow. You're absolutely right, worth a shot before preparing myself for a possible big bill at the workshop. Must prepare myself emotionally for that one, haha! Getting my hands dirty with some car repair will be a fun Sunday adventure, regardless of the outcome. And you're spot on, we absolutely love our rides. Fingers crossed it's just a fuse or a quick battery reset fixes it all. Will keep you posted with the updates! Take care, and cheers to everyone for being such a supportive gang. Talk soon!
