| 2005 nissan altima - the radio produces an acceptable sound but the face plate lacks sufficient luminosity & contrast for the information to be seen. typically, it is impossible to read the display while driving as you must face directly in-line with the unit. nissan was contacted 3/4/05 and acknowledged there were problems and that they were the result of the radio being located too high resulting in sunlight washing out the display. i stated the problem exists at night as well and a contrast/illumination adjustment would help. i asked nissan to replace the radio with a different unit and they refused but indicated there would be a redesign in 2006.*ak | |||

| I bought my 2005 altima may 3, 2005, since the purchase i have had nothing but problems with the radio. if you put on the rear defroster the radio goes to 100% pure static. also when i brought the car into gregoris nissans svc dept they told me that they may have to replace my rear window! the other problems that i have been experiencing with this car is you can not read the display of the radio when it is sunny out. also i have a rattle in the drivers side door when the radio is on. i was told it was my speaker and they would order me one. first of all it's not the speaker it is the door! i am done with nissan and their products. if anyone can help me i would appreciate it*ak | |||
