I think it's on your dash somewhere, look in your owner's manual.

If you didn't tint the windshield it shouldn't matter...
Mine come on everytime I go under a bridge or even a tree... open shade - not dark but no direct sunlight.

You should be able to change the sensitivity for the Auto On headlights.
My 04 has a bunch of setting using the info. screen (CD, Radio, Climate control etc.) You can make it more sensitive or less sensitive.

Only if you have NAV... non-NAV has to request dealer to change (at least in 6.5g)

Having the nav option with the 6.5 gen gives you a heck of a lot more options. It is why I got my '08 with it. I wonder if the '09 Maximas with nav have similar features that my '08 has. My '08 Maxima even has a screen that tells you the PSI of all 4 tires in real time. I love that feature!

jcalabria,
Isn't that the sensor for the automatic climate control? The sensor for the automatic headlights was always on the driver's side in previous Maximas. I guess Nissan changed them around.

That's what I thought too, but that is right out of the '09 manual, including the arrow. It would be easy enough to verify with an '09 at hand.

All ya gotta do is put something over the sensor and see if the lights come on... no (dis)assembly required.

Dealer did mine for Free
My Dealer did mine for Free 
Well at least they did not charge me for it and I got the car for a little under MSRP plus they gave me a good wholesale trade-in value. They did hit me up $100 for Theft/Paint/Leather Protection (I'm not sure of the value on these protections).
BTW: The 19" Wheels look like junk 
I want to buy some new rims; but No one at NISSAN can tell me what the 2009 Wheel OffSet is on the OEM wheel.
Does anyone know???
I don't want to have to pull the wheel and measure it myself.

the 19s do look a lil iffy. kinda like the last gen camry wheels if nobody has noticed. are you serious about the wheel issue?? Trophy nissan out here could tell you i bet. they have 7th gens sitting on display with 20s on it from TSW and they have nice Enkei wheels also that kind of looks like G35 19s.

Tinted 2 weeks ago
I put 55% on all of the windows because of the dark charcoal interior. PA police can be very anal in the pursuit of Tint Violators  . Although the enforcement of a State Penn Dot policy is in direct violation of the Law that is currently on the books. It clearly states that, All windows must be Transperant and allow light into the vehicle. Nowhere in "PA Law" does it say that tinting a window in a vehicle is illegal. So if you put 5,15,20,35 or 50% on your vehicle it is still allowing some light in. If anyone else has had a experience with PA police involving tint let me know. Anyway the look is still awesome because of the contrast with the radiant silver.......

I have a Winter Frost premium. Tinted 25% on front and 15% around back. With the double black moonroof the car looks totally bad ass. Waiting on some 20" rims to complete the mod.

Im debating the percentage to go on my Max. Im thinkin anything under 35% is illegal anyways, I may just get 10% all around. We shall see though.
