Manufacturing date may be a factor; the pre-wiring is a cost that Nissan can cut out of the vehicle without affecting the performance.

I thought if your had a Journey the wiring was there already, just on the base model it was missing the wiring. So this is not the case? My Journey can't have the paddles?

That just seems odd because you can get a Auto/S without nav and they will have paddles? Are we all sure you have to have the NAV and not just the Journey package?

I have a Journey with the premium Package, No Nav, and there was no wires. BTW, removing the sterring column covers to check for the wires, I made some scratches to them and cracked the lower left part of the Cluster A Lid, total cost for repairs, so far $390, damn.... And I couldn't get my Paddle shifters ...

Graham

I just keep scratching my head try to figure out how it would cut cost of production, to leave the wires out of Non-nav Journeys, but add them in base Auto/Sport model. It would make more sense to put them in all Journey's and Sport. Less difference as they move down an assembly line I would think.

It seems that early production models didn't come pre-wired, but ALL models in recent productions have been wired, as Riverside Infiniti have been installing this paddle shifters to Base models without problems, only difference is manufactured date.

Graham

When is this production date? I got my car in the beginning of April.

You can get them at Riverside Infiniti for cheap also.

Also, RareJDM has them as well.

I got mine on 4/2/08, but production date is Feb. 2008

Graham

I got mine on the same day i think. Anyone know what the VIN# cut off is to check this out?

I got F'd...2009 Journey with Premium package (no nav), and no wires. Manufacturing date: 10/09. I only looked for wires that were taped up as directed.

So let me make sure I understand, as I want to do this mod.

The coupes do not all have the wires, but the 09 sedans do?

I have an 09 Journey premium, so according to what I have read, it should work.

As far as I know, all of the sedans seem to come pre-wired. But honestly, do your due diligence and check before you drop +$200 on this. I regret not checking, and I double checked today. No wires.
