 RELATED TO AUDIO

  • The majority of the audio malfunctions are the result of outside causes (bad CD/cassette, electromagnetic interference, etc.). Check the symptoms below to diagnose the malfunction.
  • The vehicle itself can be a source of noise if noise prevention parts or electrical equipment is malfunctioning. Check if noise is caused and/or changed by engine speed, ignition switch turned to each position, and operation of each piece of electrical equipment, and then determine the cause.
NOTE:
  • CD-R is not guaranteed to play because they can contain compressed audio (MP3, WMA) or could be incorrectly mastered by the customer on a computer.
  • Check if the CDs carry the Compact Disc Logo. If not, the disc is not mastered to the “red book” Compact Disc Standard and may not play.


Symptom
Cause and Counter measure
Cannot play


Check if the CD/CF was inserted correctly.
Check if the CD/CF is scratched or dirty.
Check if there is condensation inside the player, and if there is, wait until the condensation is gone (about 1 hour) before using the player.
If there is a temperature increase error, the player will play correctly after it returns to the normal temperature.
If there is a mixture of music CD files (CD-DA data) and MP3/WMA files on a CD, only the music CD files (CD-DA data) will be played.
Files with extensions other than “.MP3”, “.WMA”, “.mp3”, or “.wma” cannot be played. In addition, the character codes and number of characters for folder names and file names should be in compliance with the specifications.
Check if the disc or the file is generated in an irregular format, This may occur depending on the variation or the setting of MP3/WMA writing applications or other text editing applications.
Check if the finalization process, such as session close and disc close, is done for the disc.
Check if the CD/CF is protected by copyright.
Poor sound quality
Check if the CD/CF is scratched or dirty.
It takes a relatively long time before the music starts playing.
If there are many folder or file levels on the MP3/WMA CD/CF, or if it is a multisession disc, some time may be required before the music starts playing.
Music cuts off or skips
The writing software and hardware combination might not match, or the writing speed, writing depth, writing width might not match the specifications. Try using the slowest writing speed.
Skipping with high bit rate files
Skipping may occur with large quantities if data such as for high bit rate data.
Move immediately to the next song when playing
When a non-MP3/WMA file has been given an extension of “.MP3”, “.WMA”, “.mp3”, or “.wma”, or when play is prohibited by copyright protection, the player will skip to the next song.
The songs do not play back in the desired order.
The playback order is the order in which the files were written by the software, so the files might not play in the desired order.
Noise resulting from variations in field strength, such as fading noise and multi-path noise, or external noise from trains and other sources, is not a malfunction.
NOTE:
  • Fading noise: This noise occurs because of variations in the field strength in a narrow range due to mountains or buildings blocking the signal.
  • Multi-path noise: This noise results from a time difference between the broadcast waves directly from the station arriving at the antenna and the waves reflected by mountains or buildings.


 
 RELATED TO VEHICLE ICON

Symptom
Possible cause
Possible solution
Names of roads differ between Plan View and Birdview.
This is because the quantity of the displayed information is reduced so that the screen does not become too crowded. There is also a chance that names of the roads may be displayed multiple times, and the names appearing on the screen may be different because of a processing procedure.
This is not a malfunction.
The vehicle icon is not displayed in the correct position.
The vehicle was transported after the ignition switch was pressed off, for example, by a ferry or car transporter.
Drive the vehicle for a while on a road where GPS signals can be received.
The position and direction of the vehicle icon may be incorrect depending on the driving environments and the levels of positioning accuracy of the navigation system.
This is not a malfunction. Drive the vehicle for a while to automatically correct the position and direction of the vehicle icon.
When the vehicle is traveling on a new road, the vehicle icon is located on another road nearby.
Because the new road is not stored in the map data, the system automatically places the vehicle icon on the nearest road available.
Updated road information will be included in the next version of the map data.
The screen does not switch to the night screen even after turning on the headlights.
The daytime screen was set the last time the headlights were turned on.
Set the screen to the night screen mode using <Day/Night> when you turn on the headlights.
The map does not scroll even when the vehicle is moving.
The current location map screen is not displayed.
Press <MAP>.
The vehicle icon is not displayed.
The current location map screen is not displayed.
Press <MAP>.
The location of the vehicle icon is misaligned from the actual position.
When using tire chains or replacing the tires, speed calculations based on the speed sensor may be incorrect.
Drive the vehicle for a while (at approximately 19 MPH for about 30 minutes) to automatically correct the vehicle icon position.
If this does not correct the vehicle icon position, contact an NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
The map data has a mistake or is incomplete (the vehicle icon position is always misaligned in the same area).
Updated road information will be included in the next version of the map data.

A route is managed by sections between waypoints. If you passed the first waypoint, the section between the starting point and the waypoint is deleted. (It may not be deleted depending on the area.)
This is not a malfunction.
An indirect route is suggested.
If there are restrictions (such as one-way streets) on roads close to the starting point or destination, the system may suggest an indirect route.
Adjust the location of the starting of the starting point or destination.
The system may suggest an indirect route because route calculation does not take into consideration some areas such as narrow streets (gray roads.)
Reset the destination to a main or ordinary road, and recalculate the route.
The landmark information does not correspond to the actual information.
This may be caused by insufficient or incorrect map data.
Updated information will be included in the next version of the data.
