    Happy Birthdday from Nissan

    Wednesday it was my birthday. When I entered my Micra, on the display it said Happy Birthday!
    (happy birthday = van harte proficiat in Dutch)

    How nice of Nissan!

    Nice. All I get is annoying emails and phone call messages to make an appointment to change the oil. I told my salesman at the time of purchase, if I can't roll in when I want I won't be coming in. Who makes appointments for oil changes anymore.

    I do, but I drop the car off and pick it up after my shift at work. But uhhh... I call the shots on it, they don't email or call.

    ^ Same. I bombed the hell out of my customer service survey on purpose to get the attention. They kept trying to upsell me on things that weren't needed. Eg... Tire rotation every oil change. Air filter every second oil change- telling me its time to change my cabin air filter when there wasn't one even in there to change in the first place- etc. They no longer do this. I tell them what to do and they do it. Simple.

    But I think its super cool that your car remembers your birthday. Not forever alone. Happy belated birthday.

    Now you got me wondering If I could swap one of those instrument clusters in. Hmmmm....

    Neat!

    What I want to know: how did it know about your birthday? Is it wirelessly networked to Nissan, or did someone (dealership? you?) program it?

    Someone at the dealership programmed it. Apparantly they do this with every car they sell for extra customer satisfaction

    Sounds like a used Micra buyer will, with 1 in 365 odds, get an unexpected surprise...

    In our culture obsessed with absurd excess, the Nissan Micra is my counterculture car of choice.
