| Description of the problem | I recently (12/30/08) bought a 09 nissan altima 2. 5sl with connection package and within the first week of driving the car i came across an issue with the stereo. I turned on the car as i have for the past week by pressing the start button, but this time the stereo sound wasn't coming through the speakers. I cycled through the stereo modes (am/fm/xm/cd) and adjusted the volume up and all i heard was a consistent buzz coming through the speakers. I then turned off the car and restarted the vehicle where the stereo worked perfectly. I can't help but think this issue is attributed to an initialization problem with the stereo/car. Since this issue occurred i haven't experienced the issue again as of the time that i am writing this (2 weeks later). I asked the dealership if there has been any other people that have experienced this, but they haven't had any complaints about a similar issue at this time. I just wanted to document this issue in case anybody else has experienced something similar. |
