I would take it to your Nissan dealer for warranty repairs.
I have a 2015 Nissan Sentra and my factory radio delays to turn on when turning on vehicle at random times. I already got my radio replaced twice by Nissan Dealer and the issue still continues. I believe Nissan has issues with these radios.
I too have a '15 Sentra with the identical symptom. It always come on but sometimes it takes as much as 3 minutes.
Nissan technology is horrible. I contacted corporate and I requested to have my vehicle to be repurchased (Lemon law.) Nissan had no choice but to give me back my money. Nissan dealer had change my radio several times and the issue continue, so Nissan decided to repurchase my vehicle.
Jose, this legit? They want $3000 to fix my radio and they seem to be clearly defective. Hundreds upon hundreds of people across multiple Nissan's have the same issue. It's clearly a problem on their end and it would be ridiculous for me to pay $1,000-3000 for a new radio which will simply do this again.
JMGNissan, you shouldn't pay nothing to Nissan to get your radio fix. You are better off getting an off market radio and install for cheaper price. Also if your car still has warranty and the dealer has tried to fix it multiple times, then they can repurchase your vehicle. You need to contact Nissan corporate And argue with them about your issue. I did it and they purchase my vehicle back.
Jose Luis, thanks for the response. Unfortunately I have no warranty, but I was curious. Glad it worked out for ya. But yeah, that's been my plan. Nissan told me they'd do it for $1000 after I complained about the $3000 lol. And I told them no again cause I can put it in myself, the labor isn't the problem. But yeah, aftermarket was my plan. Gonna try to go this week and get a 3rd party radio installed and see what happens! Appreciate the response.
I am driving a 2021 Nissan Sentra (Rental) and the radio and camera will not come on. Is this problem still persistent?
@cfe1976 I think so. I talked to a radio shop that's well reviewed in my area and they said replace more Nissan radios for simply not working than any other brand.
