thanks jaxs1....I was looking for some advice...not some tool telling me how stupid I am. You're the exact reason why I don't bother with forums...too many people with nothing better to do than dispense useless jibberish!

Unfortunately, after-the-fact advice about what he "should" have done isn't very helpful. He's asking if cruise control can be installed aftermarket. Do you know, or does anyone else know?
 
Let's skip the lectures.

You may have a Rostra aftermarket cruise installed on your Sentra. I recommend having a independent shop that specializes in automotive electronics install the cruise control.
The Nissan dealer service dept. will have little if any experience installing this unit.
If you live in a fairly populous area you should not have a problem finding an installer for Rostra cruise control. They are commonly installed on entry level Toyota, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Scion vehicles that are not equipped with factory cruise.

Thanks Moparbad...I did find a local installer who's had experience with these and came highly recommended...and I do believe it's a Rostra unit.
Thanks again!!

No iPod connectivity using the iPod data port connector. That would not only allow the car stereo to control the iPod but also charge the player at the same time.

Need help to improve on rough ride by nmt001

I have the 2007 Sentra for about 7 months. I'm satisfied with with everything EXEPT the rough ride. I didn't test drive it thorough enough, like going to roads with rough surface. Soon I found out the the ride on rough road surface is very uncomfortable. Even my passengers comments that the ride is too rough. Then I found out that instead of having rear independent suspension, the 2007 Sentra has torsion beam suspension which is cheaper and not as good in dampening vibration due to rough road surface. Furthermore, the car came with Bridgestone tires which people say are made by Firestone.
I had a 98 Toyota Corolla before with Firestone tires and the same rough ride problem. After one of the Firestone tires burst on a pothole, I changed all four tires into a medium price brand and the ride became so smooth that it felt like the Corolla had a new and better suspension.
I asked the Nissan dealer if some 2007 Sentra are sold with tires other than Bridgestone. They told me they are sold with Bridgestone tires only.
I am not sure if changing the Bridgestone tires in my car will improve the smoothness of the ride like changing the Firestone tires before.
I will appreciate it if any owners of 2007 Sentra have answers for the following questions:
1/Did any owners buy the car with tires of another brand that is not Bridgestone or Firestone?
2/ Do any owners experience the same rough ride problem and what is brand name of their tires?
3/ Do any owners have acceptable smooth ride and what is the brand name of their tires?
Thank you

My 2.0. S has the Bridgestone tires and the ride is great at 32 PSI. Anything over 38 is too much and causes a harsher ride.

Thank you very much for your advice. I checked the tire pressure and found that it was 36 psi for all four tires instead of the 33 recommended by the manual and 32 recommmended by you. The original pressure could have been even higher seven moths ago.I wonder why the Nissan dealership did not follow the instuction from its own manual.
Anyway I reduced the pressure to 33 psi and found that there is significant improvement on rough road surface. I am going to reduce the pressure to 32 to see if there is further improvement. But I cannot do it right away as the tire pressure has increased to 36 psi when the tires are still hot from the drive.
The Nissan dealerships should pay attention to details in their garage services. Besides the inaccurate tire pressure, they also forgot to tighten the cap of the coolent tank in my car during scheduled maintenance, which would lead to the engine become overheated when the hot coolent evaporates. The 2007 Nissan Sentra is a good quality car, the dealership should prevent mistakes that make people think the car is bad.
