Radio not holding memory? 2010 LE Bose

My 2010 LE with the bose stereo (no nav), does not hold the radio presets in memory. I am reading this is a common problem, but don't seem to see any real fixes online.

Anyone have the fix for this? I read one method was to remove the fuse in the glove compartment for the radio memory and replace it.

Yes its acommon problem.

My nissan dealer once told me that instead of replacing the entire Bose headunit ( at acost of $2000 just for the part) they could send it out and have it repaired for a fraction.

Never went that route but since its not a rare problem a good starting point might be a large and high end stereo shop.
I am sure they would know a re-builder.. and probably would do a nice and clean uninstall and reinstall..

Try reinitializing the head unit

Search elsewhere in this form for “self diagnosticsâ€. It helps initially. But if the head unit is bad the problem will reoccur...I suspect it is a bug that corrupts memory. Erasing it and restoring it helps...then the problem returns.

I don't what happened here. My radio and clock would not hold memory. I found a missing fuse in the panel by the glove box which was not labeled. I put one in but nothing new happened.
3 days later my clock and radio are holding memory. No clue what the deal is with that but it works. Is it related,,,,beats me.

So I noticed now my radio will not accept any presets. Also trip computer always defaults to what was on it after key cycling. Also can't set any maintenance intervals. WTF

Well then I guess that's it then. I'm thinking I paid too much for this thing now that all these issues it has. The guy who sold it to me didn't disclose anything and said all works fine. I'm sure he knew what was up as he owned it for years.
