I am new to the forum so not sure as to how it works but I have a 2012 maxima and I was wondering does anyone know how to remove the stock head unit and how hard is it. Thinking about adding a pioneer avh x2700bs. Does anybody know a video on it I can find or have any insight as to removing it? I would appreciate it.

as myself i'm fairly new to this site but plenty of info here check out the how to sections you will find the info you need there and you should download your fsm for your year vehicle so you have a better understanding of it

Can you tell me what to search for because I've searched stock head unit removal and couldn't find anything on the 7th generation. I know that it can be done but can't seem to find a thread that fully explains how to.

Do you already have harness and or dash kit?

No I don't. Plan on getting this done sometime next month. I have done it in older cars but looks a little complicated in the max. Also I have xm radio and a bose system and I was wondering how difficult is it to install a pioneer avh x2700bs and keep all the functions of the steering wheel and is it possible to have all the speakers working with it having a factory amp. Also will I be able to use my xm tuner for the pioneer for the satellite radio. Thanks
