Strange...do any voice commands (I'm going out on a limb here and assuming you have the Nav Package) work?
Here is what I think is going on since I DO have the Nav package ... you can only use 'Call home' (or the like) if you do NOT have the Nav ... with the Nav, it looks like you need to say 'Vehicle Phonebook' first and then go from there! Strange, but that's the only way it will work! Seems easier for NON-Nav people!
I've used my Ipod a bunch of times with my 2009 Maxima without fail. Today it seems to be having issues though and I'm hoping it's just me. The Ipod was plugged in from being used yesterday when I turned the car on and the FM radio was on. So I changed it to the Ipod, where it showed the Ipod menu title but nothing else. The Ipod says "OK to disconnect". When I disconnect it the car says "No Ipod is connected" so I connect it back up and that goes away, telling me the car is recognizing the Ipod, but I cannot get the car to bring up the Ipod menu and play the device. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Warning for people who have 09 or 10 maxima. I put a new rear facing car seat in the new max. It broke the head rest. I have to replace the entire passenger seat just for the head rest. If you are going to put a rear facing car seat, put it in the middle.

What I did was on the iPod itself, I disconnected it from the car, press AND hold BOTH Menu and the center buttons on the iPod until the thing itself rebooted. since then, I have no problems with the connectivity on the iPod.

Definitely good info - I'm just getting ready to install my son's car seat!

Oddly, I took it out of the car and into work and then listened to it via the headphones. Later took it back out to the car and it worked just fine. It's a 4th gen and I guess they don't turn off correctly either, so I'll just have to pony up for a newer ipod. If I get jammed up again with this one I'll try what you did though, thanks!
Firstly thanks for the people running the site! Great resource for asking questions about my Maxima.
I have a strange question, I bought my Maxima in June and hadn't used the Music Box much until last week. I have started recording some of my old CD's but have found when I use the Music Box I cannot switch between other CD's / Artists unless the car isn't moving?! The first 4 options on the list are avaliable but the others further down are greyed out unless I am stationary.
Does anyone else have the same problem? It makes the Music Box virtually unusable on a long freeway journey if you can't change the artist!!!

Nissan did this, because you may play with your musicbox or navigation system while driving, and they don't want to get sued if your in an accident caused by playing with these devices. You will notice this happens to many of the features of the system when the car is in motion. There is an aftermarket fix for this but involves taken your NAV system apart and modifying it.
There is another good way of getting around your issue, HOWEVER,
Here is a little hint. The next time you are in the car and have this issue, rotate the tune/folder knob, this should get you different playlists or artists or albums. Whichever mode you are in at the time.

The knob 09Maxima_Sam mentions has been a real blessing for my wife and I. We are almost always in the car together, and the grayed-out functions were preventing whichever of us was not driving from operating useful options of the audio system. But that magic knob took the handcuffs off!

Ah fantastic, thanks for letting me know! I'll give that a try at lunchtime!
I haven't seen a thread on here about this (even after a search), I have the XM Traffic info within my navvy. What do people think of it? I have an issue with the accuracy of the data, so often (like last night) it will tell me the freeway is clear (green line) and when I actually drive on it it's at a standstill.
Living in L.A. if this was accurate it would be a God send, at the moment though it's pretty useless.
My iPhone has the sigalert website on it and is far more accurate. Just a pain to look at whilst driving!!
