2011 Titan Rockford Fosgate....USB?

[ISOHaven]

Has anyone had any luck getting USB in their 2011? Every time I come close I find some reason why "whatever" wont work in the 2011. Seems everything works for up to 2010 only like this:

Nissan Infiniti USB Android iPod iPhone Bluetooth AUX car kit

Pretty lame there's no USB anyway seeing as the Armada has it....bastards!

Anywho, has anyone come across anything? If I have to ditch the sat port then so be it. Which sucks though as I just fix the whole 8 character issue that plagues just about every Nissan.

Sorry for the thread jack but how did you fix the 8 character issue?

Second this...

BTW, I opened a thread on that specific unit you posted...
Possible Andriod/USB car Kit for Titan?

Your post isnt the update unit. Look at my link:

No problem! The issue comes from the radio booting before the SAT unit is fully booted. So if your radio is sitting there only showing 8 characters, if you turn off the radio then turn it back on (completely, not the power knob) then you'll get the full display. This is easily seen if you turn the vehicle on to accessory, wait for the sat to come up then turn your engine over (run). At that point it kills the power to the accessories but that flux in power is not long enough to completely de-energize the sat module so it remains on while the radio is completely reset.

So...to make a long story short...you need to make sure the power to the radio comes on AFTER the sat module boots. My radio turns on 3 seconds later then normal with this delay module:

Automotive Time-Delay Relay

I used the TDR-P. You can use any form of timer circuit. I just felt this was nice and handy, all packaged up and it worked great!

I took the power wire going to the radio and cut it. Then I split the switched hot side into 2 and fed that into the timer for the switched power as well as the 12 volt trigger (pin 1 and pin +12). Then attached the dead wire now going to the radio to the output (pin L) from the timer. Then of course, ground to ground.

My first experiment was to plug this straight into the radio fuse port. That way I could have something without cutting any wires and it could be plugged in and removed with ease. But alas...that damn radio fuse also powers the SAT unit

Looks like they added more encoding types. Did anything ever come of it? I hate that the page says to use the CD Changer port but the manual says the SAT port. I emailed them to get the real story but haven't heard back.

I also found this:

I'm open to any and all solutions. I thought it pretty clever that the above unit uses RDS for song info.

Looks like Audiovox bought DICE:

Very nice ISO. I have been looking for a solution to this for a long time. Thank you.
