Changing faceplate on 02/03 Bose headunit

Located a new Bose Headunit for my 02 max. It is out of a 03 Titanium edition (and it is manufactured after the problem date according to Nissan's TSB). My car is not a Titanium. Was wondering if the faces could be exchanged so it matches better and if anyone has done this?


If not, the HVAC and stereo wont match too well. How difficult is it to get and replace my manual HVAC with a titanuim one(were Titanium available with manual hvac?) ? And I may possibly change the vents above the stereo. Are they difficult to find and replace?

Thanks for any input?

Has anyone altered their non Titianuim edition into one? Or at least changed out the maunaul hvac controls or the center vents above the stereo?

Titanium Ed. wasn't available with manual climate control. If you change the vents it'll likely look okay though.

it can be done, its like 4 screws to get the faceplate off...and a ribbon cable. I had the whole thing apart at one point.

Thats good to know. And the ribbon cable, just plugs in and out I assume?

Housecor, I was thinking that only Titanium Ed were only avaliable with auto climate contorls, thanks for confirming this for me.

Is the titanuim silver color the same silver that is on the lighter silver top band on the non titanium ed stereos?

Or are those different shades of silver?

I'm almost positive they're different shades. Need a better pic of a non-TE - they're not as silver colored.
