I read in one of the threads at this forum that someone was getting an Ipod Integration Kit for their Murano SL? Did anyone ever post what the part number is or where it can be purchased from?
I just got my new 2009 Nissan Murano SL AWD last week with the representation from the salesman that I would be able to connect my Ipod (as well as my vehicle was supposed to have a 6-CD Changer). Well, no 6-CD Changer was in the car because they gave me a vehicle with Navigation (which I did not want). Anyway, I could not locate an Ipod auxiliary input, and was now told that what I have is a Compact Flash Drive. And, my husband was nice enough to get me an Ipod Classic for the purpose of using it in my new vehicle. So, just curious if someone could tell me how to get the Ipod working for the Murano SL? Thanks a bunch!
Enjoy
I just received an email from a friend that sells Nissan's in Helsinki. He said the TV program evaluators were surprised by the Murano's quality and ride and equalled it with Mercedes, BMW, and Audi. The price for a Murano in Helsinki is about 70,000 euros.
Just thought the foreign note would be of interest.
Cheers and happy driving.
I don't know if you got an answer in the meantime. If thought my Murano (2009) should show that, as several rentals and an Equinox I had for business show the song and artist when the station has RDS (but is also depends on the station). I tried the same stations that had it on the Murano and it only gave the name of the station.
Perhaps this is a RED "Lite". Cheers

Is the tire thingie true? And if so what are my alternatives?
I test drove a new 2009 SL and the ride was sensational. Then I went to buy a new LE and there was a vibration throughout the vehicle. I could feel it in the floor, on the steering wheel and in the seat. It occurred at all speeds and during acceleration or coasting.
I really want this particular car and color and this is the only one around within 100 miles that we checked.
Anyone knowing how to solve this problem please let me know.
Thank you.
Well, happy to report, it solved my problem. No more vibrating at any speed.
Not saying it will fix ea owners problem, but worth a check.
In our case, the tires on the 09 LE aren't bad now yet not perfect. The balance is perfect yet the tires are semi-crap and aren't true - as in they were borderline bad in regards to "road force" measurements on a Hunter balancer. Will wait to install something better in the future.
If you are referring to the high pitch squeal/whistle there is a Nissan Service Bulletin out for this exact noise. Our LE has the same - just haven't made it back in to have it fixed. Wife doesn't notice it either - just me with the window down etc....
See below, your Nissan Service Dept probably doesn't even know about it because they are clueless like all other Nissan dealerships.. Many have had the procedure performed and no more whistle!!
Good luck

For the record, the throttle body does NOT have to be replaced. Here is the fix description...straight from Nissan:
NTB08104
IF YOU CONFIRM A whistle noise coming from the engine during light acceleration, ACTIONS Unbolt but do not remove the electric throttle control actuator. Replace the actuator gasket. Reposition the actuator on the manifold and secure following the instructions in this Service Procedure. NOTE: The repair of this issue, if it should occur, is the repositioning of the actuator not the replacement of the gasket. The gasket is replaced because the actuator is being unbolted from the manifold.
2009 Nissan Murano "360 Degree Value Package" Debuts
Nissan also announced the addition of a new "360 Degree Value Package" to the 2009 Murano lineup. Available now for a limited time on the Murano SL FWD or AWD with Premium and Leather packages, the 360 Degree Value Package adds Nissan Intelligent Key, Bluetooth(R) Hands-Free Phone System, iPod(R) adaptor, metallic-finish 18-inch alloy wheels, silver-finish roof rails and Murano's signature dual-panel moonroof. The 360 Degree Value Package is priced at $1,450, resulting in MSRPs of $33,280 (FWD) and $34,880 (AWD).
"The Murano with 360 Degree Value Package is not only a great overall value, it offers customers some of the great features that were previously available only on the higher priced Murano LE model on the Murano SL," said Meunier. "All 2009 Nissan Muranos continue to provide buyers with an exciting middle crossover packed with substance, style and value."
Also since they are in limited quality and new the deals on them are not nearly as swell. I was offered one in NJ for dealer invoice, none less on one with AWD. The offer was $32,980, but I didn't like the timeframe for delivery (July 2). I also found another dealership in Ohio (I travel a lot) that was getting one in a color I liked next week, but the cheapest I could get them on price was $33,300 (MSRP 35,980). I ended up getting a SL with moonroof, premium, leather, and tech for $33,700 (MSRP 37,525) that was on the lot. The $400 more seemed like a better deal...
All and all I'm kinda kicking myself because I want the iPod interface, but at least now I'll have the power tailgate, auto lights, and rain sensing wipers! LOL.
What does everyone else think?
In December 07 we were in a car accident and the lady that hit us head-on ended up supplying us with the funds for the Murano!
I have had it 1 year and 3 months and I HATE IT!
I have had electrical problems after electrical problem. So bad that the Radio turns on by itself. The key being in the house! :confuse:
I am currently fighting with Nissan because they do not know what is wrong with it and I am tired of being stranded because this car that I have always wanted, will not start at times!!! :lemon:
Is anyone else having Electrical problems or is it just my dumb luck??
Cheers
I am still on the second tank of gas and was thinking of trying 91 on my next fill up. I've owned the car now for just a few weeks.
thanks for your responce,
John
If you have to fight it with Nissan good luck with that because their customer service SUCKS!!! I have corporate e-mail address if you need them because the tech and nissan tech specialist do not know what is causing the problem.

My second suggestion would be to not leave your car running in your garage. I know that it's hard to hear the engine on the Murano. That's one of the great things about that car. The other great thing is the keyless ignition.
This is NOT a design flaw. The place you put your key fob is only for storage. It has nothing to do with turning on and off your car. It just takes some getting used to.
Please don't kill your family. Just get used to turning your car off when you pull in the garage. I've actually turned my car off on accident when going to turn off the radio because I'm so used to the feature.
See page 5-11 of your owners manual.

Hope this works for you.....
