Q: Console panel not working.

asked by on January 13, 2016

The panel window on my console is blank.

The panel window for the navigation typically will only be blank when the system is turned off. If the system is not turning on at all then you may have a programming issue. Nissan had some issues with the programming in this navigation system which was known to cause this. Nissan had a technical bulletin set in place for this which told them to reprogram the system with the newest update to prevent the system from locking up and shutting down like this.
