Apparently the part runs about $1000. I was very grateful since I was about 5k miles beyond warranty.

Oh wow, that's impressive. Wouldn't you have been over the 3yr time frame regardless of mileage? I called my local dealer and they didn't offer to do crap other than tell me what was wrong (which I already knew from here).

Would you agree that if you are still under warranty you should not pull the fuse, so hopefully the failure happens under warranty and then you would get the most recent version installed?

Your thoughts?

I have the same question. I have an extended warranty and if it fails will I get the update under warranty ?

Bucket and Blue. Order the harness or pull the fuse. The system was deleted starting in late 2011 and is not on the 2012 or 2013. Nissan see's the system as useless by this action. They have done something about it by deleting it en-mass from the car. Do the same for yours.
Why risk a failure(as every Rev has failed thus far) if Nissan doesnt think otherwise and got rid of it for good. Do the same and enjoy the ride!
