Notes:
- So for the Nissan Altima 08-12 the 8thgen steering wheels are plug and play no wiring or anything. But the 8thgen steering needs to have the grey clips.
- 2016-2017 steering wheels have one plug so you need to bypass the airbags to make it work.
- 2018-2020 steering wheels with the 2 plug airbag everything plug and play just need to make sure have the grey clip. Some 8thgen steering wheels come with white clips. You would have to use your factory grey clips or repin them.
This is the plug you need to use.

It’s very simple to wire but you will need the plug if you want to use the factory button. Sunshade, not so much but it’s good to have a disconnect.
Wiring is real simple:
- Black: Ground you can tap into the one under the bolster on the driver’s side of the car.
- White: 12v Power. Since you are running wires anyways make a 3 wire harness and tap it into the power on the back of the armrest.
- Red: Up signal
- Green: Down Signal
Basically, the sunshade is always hot, and supply’s power to the red and green wires. Once one of the grounds is triggered, the shade will go into operation in the direction it was grounded (Red gets grounded, the shade goes up. Green gets grounded, the shade goes down)
A simple way to make a harness:
Grab about 15 feet of wire equal lengths, 14-16 gauge in three different colors preferably red, green, and white. Tie them to a stationary object and stretch them out. tighten your drill chuck on one end and then start twisting. GO until it starts curling over on itself.
As for the factory button, if you can’t find a plug for it then temporarily install a momentary “on-off – momentary on” switch and just poke it out under the center console. 2nd gen I30s are getting a little more common so you should be able to find the plug sooner than later.

This is the wiring for the rear Elite Package shade on the 2004-2008 Nissan Maxima.

If you are looking to customize the lighting of LED’s on your Nissan Maxima cluster/odometer, you will need to re-calibrate the needles. The needles need to come off as part of the modification process and if not properly calibration the RPMs and MPH readings will be off.
Many of the 6thgen members like to upgrade their 04-05 clusters to the revised and improved 07-08 clusters with custom LEDs. This procedure will allow you to calibrate your needle easily. Save money by doing it yourself.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
- Turn ignition switch ON, and switch the odo/trip meter to “trip A” or “trip B”.
NOTE: If the diagnosis function is activated with trip meter A displayed, the mileage on trip meter A will indicate 0000.0 miles, but the actual trip mileage will be retained. (Trip B operates the same way.) - Turn ignition switch OFF.
- While pushing the odo/trip meter switch (1), turn ignition switch ON again.
- Make sure the trip meter displays “0000.0”.
- Push the odo/trip meter switch (1) at least 3 times within 5 seconds.
- All the segments on the odo/trip meter and CVT indicator illuminate, and simultaneously the low-fuel warning lamp indicator illuminates. At this time, the unified meter control unit is turned to diagnosis mode.
- Push the odo/trip meter switch. Each meter/gauge should indicate as shown in the figure while pushing odo/trip meter switch. (At this time, the low-fuel warning lamp goes off.)
- Remove/re-insert needles in the same position below (as seen in the photo below) during the calibration process

If you are having issues opening your trunk, you can use the emergency inside trunk release lever. It glows in the dark so you can easily find it.
How to Fix
You can try checking the wires shown below to see if any are broken. Many owners have resolved their issues by re-splicing any broken wires. This appears to be a common issue.
You can also try to check this button as well.
