AVIC ALTIMA

Hey, I am trying to activate my MSN direct service but I cannot retrieve the product key in order to activate it by just following the operations manual instructions. After I click on 'Status', the following message appears on the screen - "MSN Direct is connecting" - and it never gives me the key. Is this supposed to take long or instantaneous?? ANY SUGGESTIONS AS TO HOW I CAN GET THE KEY TO ACTIVATE THE SERVICE? PEASE HELP!!!

i went to my local Nissan dealership and ordered it directly from them from the parts department.

the OEM kit is way better than the metra one. It looks like a smooth and factory finish. Check out the pics below for my finish...

They are usless over there. I called them before I posted this Thread. And this lady literally read the instructions off of the manual and said she cant do any more than that..... Pure stupidity....

bottom of what? the screen? the only msg i had was "msn direct is connecting". plz help me with this issue as i am really excited to activate this service. THANKS!!

LOL! I'll tell you what he did. He did a lot of reading of different posts, then he asked questions - some n00bish but never ones that were easily found by a quick scan of the forum. Oh, and he listened when people answered. To the OP, nice install. Something to be proud of, especially considering you said it was your first time. THANKS A LOT! I appreciate your comment. Yea basically I have been on this forum since the begining of June and I was reading up stuff and doing all the research necessary. Thanks to everyone that helped me out and was patient enough to answer my questio

no way i was going to get the 700.. i have the 900

thanks for the info. Is there a special way that i need to connect the wire from the avic adapter to the antenna adapter. The tip from the blue wire on the avic adapter has this weird metal part attached to it. Should i just solder it to the blue wire on the antenna adapter and it should work as long as the metal is touching the blue wire or is there a special way of connecting the two?? It seems that i have a week connection because when i was driving around last night some stations were being caught but static, so i could it be that i have the correct connection but its too weak???

here is a pic if anyone wanted to see the final result... please excuse the back quality - it was taken from my phone...

Hey guys, I was supposed to install my system on saturday morning, but I decided to come home earlier from work today (Friday) and install it before it got dark. I AM DONE!! except for the radio frequency that is staticky which i have to strengthen the connection i am guessing so that i will be able to properlly reciev the MSN direct feed. Other than that ALL IS GOOD!! My bluetooth works perfectly with my BlackBerry 8310, and all of my contacts are on AVIC now. I can pick up calls and call from the unit as well and both sides of the conversation are clear. The TTS works perfectly on th

its an 08 altima sedan 2.5s

i guess i have to connect the antenna adapter correctly to the unit then....damn!!!! I hooked everything up and everything works except for the FM and AM stations - there is no reception and its staticky.....

Hi, Where does the MSN direct feed come from? The frequencies from the radio? Or through the NAV antenna signal?? THANKS!!!

is there a better (certain) way of connecting the blue wires together due to the different tip of the antenna control wire from the avic harness? or as long as the metal is connecting to a wire it should be fine?? THANKS!!
