Default audio display and dash lights

Have a 2008 Altima coupe and am just now experiencing the audio issues with lights. Sometimes on, sometimes not, and noticed today the fading and brightening on radio and clock.

Am also experiencing extreme dimness on dash when headlights are on, except for tire pressure icon (bad sensor), seatbelt (don't wear one), and if the (!) light comes on for low gas, etc.. Are these issues related?

I would guess they are not related. I think the problem is specific to the head-unit.

I didn't realize this thread had a bunch of responses....... I noticed just the other day that the clock was fading in and out again when the radio was off. And this is the replacement unit. And I'm out of warranty now too.

Too bad the quality control is so lax...... Gives me second thoughts about buying another Altima. :(

Any suggestions about an easy way to reproduce for warranty service purposes?
Take pictures and argue with the dealer. That's what I had to do. I told the dealer that I wasn't willing to drive 30 minutes in the day when I had work just to hope that it would still be occurring. I took pictures, they agreed that they'd replace it then I had to argue because they couldn't duplicate the problem (of course, because it's intermittent)....... and argued that pictures were more than sufficient to demonstrate the problem. Finally got it replaced. But as my previous post mentions........ problem is back anyway.

No problems whatever with my '07 sedan, now over 5 years old.

That's great for you.

I've had a bad stereo, a second bad stereo, a slipped engine seal, shifting seat problems. And the seat will likely never get fixed.

And a bad washer pump!

But I'm glad you've had no problems.

Maximas have a digital clock, and eventually into the dim dark period of back, and then go away.

My 2008 Altima has the same problem with the head unit lights going off at random time. I used to just have to turn off and then restart and the problem would be fixed. Now that doesn't always work. Of course it is almost 5 years old with 99000 miles on it. Having said that I have a 2004 Chevy Trail Blazer with 212000 miles on it and the radio has no problems so it's not necessarily a function of time and or miles. Any ideas on how to fix this without replacing the radio?

the problems are likely due to poor solder joints that fail after hot and cold cycling.
The solder used today by nearly every manufacturer is poor in quality.
It will get past the line and work for awhile but never know when it will fail.
