Hello, my name is Lauren & I just purchased my first Nissan. It's a 2013 Xterra S with manual transmission. I just wanted to introduce myself because I'll probably be posting on this forum a bunch in the years to come.
I do have a couple questions to start out with too:
1) After-market Bluetooth Mine didn't come with Bluetooth, but I'm wondering if there's a way to buy something after-market to attach to the stereo to be able to connect my Android or other devices via Bluetooth? I don't necessarily need to be able to use the phone hands-free, but would like to be able to play music through the stereo from my phone.
2) Android Connectivity It did however come with a USB port that will connect an iPod (or other compatible devices) to the stereo & will display the songs on the stereo's screen & allow you to use the stereo's buttons to control it. I was hoping the "other compatible devices" would include Android phones, but it doesn't appear to work... has anyone been able to get Android devices to work with the USB connection somehow?
3) Trip Computer/White-faced Gauges I also thought that mine was supposed to come with the trip computer, where you can see the gas mileage & other things, not just the trip meter. Is there any way to add this? (And before you ask why I didn't check to see if it had it before I bought it, I live in WV but bought the car from NY & picked it up there after going through the whole buying process.) I like the white-faced gauges of the Pro-4X, so I'm also wondering if it's possible just to buy & install the whole gauge module so that I'd have the white-faced gauges & trip computer?
4) Shifter Resistance into 1st I feel like it's a little rough-hard to push the shifter into first gear, feels almost like it grinds or rubs against something when I do... since it's new, I don't think anything would have happened to it, but I thought it would be smoother... is this just the way it is supposed to be?
5) Using Outlets When Off And, my friend has an Frontier & the 12-volt outlets next to the glove box work when the car is off, but the one in the storage box does not. But on mine, even the ones next to the glove box do not work when the car is off... is this how it's supposed to be? Is there a way to get them to work when the car is off?
Thanks for your help!!
