Re: Tekna Bose question

Re: Audio System USB Memory Stick

I don't yet own a Nissan Qashqai so cannot comment specifically, but I use to use a SanDisk Ultra Fit 16 GB USB Flash Drive USB 3.0 up to 150 MB/s which worked fine in My Mazda CX3.

Formatted FAT32, and pretty much all music is in folders and had no issues playing back straight away.

You just unplugged it from the wiring loom, unbolted the lower part of the calliper which then swung up exposing the brake pads. You then removed the worn brake pads and using large grips sq...

Strange you don't get the option of a power tailgate on new models.
