i wanna get a new deck...but cant afford a double din one...so im just gonna get a single....whats the best lookin dash kit...i been hearing about the gxe dash trim around the radio...does that match w/the se dash?

 

i would get the GXE dash trim, i think that looks the best with the single deck, and it does match up with the SE trim

 

wheres a good place to get one..anywhere online?..or just go to the dealer

 

I got a single din mounting kit for sale if you are interested.

 

im lookin for the stock gxe trim...if its that..let me know

 

Why would you want the GXE trim if you are not buying a double din head unit?

 

gxe is single din

 

GXE kit is used with double din head units.

 

no, the GXE is single, look on the classifieds, im sure you'll find one there somewhere

 

btw, were talking about a 5th gen GXE dash trim, not a 5.5 gen

 

You are talking about this right?

nope, its actually a single bin component that has a storage area either on the bottom or on the top...im not sure where to find them, but my friend used to have a 2k GXE with the single bin tape player...trust me, its a single

 

This is how they come from the factory, GXEs. The pocket under the radio is removable via the screws that hold it to the radio brackets

 

can this be bought from nissan? i mean just the pocket and the surround.

 

Yes, just ask for a 00-01 Maxima center vent piece, tell them its for a GXE so it will come with the radio bezzel. The GXEs with auto trannies could have the premium audio found on the SEs, which looks like the Bose unit but it aint. The cars with that style head unit have diff center vents, they don't have the bezzel around the radio like the GXE. The pocket is also avalible from Nissan, its the same pocket as my 91 Sentra, my 93 G20 etc. Nissan has used this radio pocket since the 90s. Call up DaveB at South Point Nissan and ask for the GXE dash trim piece and the pocket, he should stock that stuff I think.

 

Then if we have the GXE trim, I have one like your's BlackbirdVQ, is it still possible to put a double din deck into the GXE trim?? Cuz I think the double din looks better and was actually going to go get one in a month or so.

 

Yes, double din head unit will fit in just great. I have gauges to put into mine there, just don't have the time to actually install em.

 

Is there a size difference between 5gen GXE kit and 5.5gen GXE kit? Is the hole bigger than the other?

 

^^^what he said....would the 00-01 kit fit 02-03's

 

yeah theyre the same size, just different surrounds...the 00-01 GXE is a single bin while all the 02-03s are double

 

All 02-03 GXEs have the big radio, which requires the 00-01 GXE single din radio dash trim. Like I said GXE with auto tranny could have the big radio from the factory only with the 1K dollar convinence package that also added alloy wheels, power seats, AM/FM, CD, Tape radio w/6 speakers, pop up center console. This package was only avalible to the automatic GXEs. 5spds where stuck with 4 speaker cassette tape player, and little pocket below the radio. 2001 GXE 5spds where only avalible in white or black, only options where InCabin filter, mud guards and floor mats. Automatics could be had in all the other colors that the SE, and GLE where produced with. This is what makes the GXEs so much better base vehicles to modify, lighter and cheaper ! unless U really don't like black or white :P

 

So, people who are getting double din head units installed on their cars, are they using 5gen GXE kit or 5.5gen GXE kit?

 

5th gen GXE kit, 5.5 Gen is same as the 00-01 SE or GLE, radio face is pretty similar.

 

Is this 5th gen GXE kit?

 

yes this is the one you need.

 

oh, so you have to replace the vents as well? the vents are part of the whole assembly?

 

vents are part of the whole assembly on the GXE, on the SE and GLE the vents are separate from the radio.

 

if the surround and the pocket is all i need, is there any way to get just these parts? i don't want to change the vent section because i've got carbon fiber inserts installed around my vents.

 

this is what he was asking about..this is the 2000-2001 GXE dash...pics courtesy of maxima.org member bran808...no clue where to get it

 

anyone know ?????

 

No, thats the Aftermarket METRA kit. GXE one is totally different, this would work for someone who has CF on the vents, as the aftermarket one just covers the area of where the radio used to reside. I have a GXE Maxima, if you haven't noticed. My car came with that GXE kit pictured up top, I just added in my own Alpine system to the car to repleace the crappy tape player. Very few Auto GXEs had this kit, all 01 5spd GXEs had this.

 

So all this talk and no price yet Except courtesy;s dash and vents.. for $95

 

Make sure you get the GXE kit, but instead of the "standard" pocket, tell the dealer you want the pocket from the 1999 Maxima (which has a door on it, and actually costs less to boot!)

Call Dave Burnette, he will know what you want....

yet another pic:
GXE dash kit with 99 maxima pocket/door

 

I'd like to jump in with a question. I just bought a single Din dask kit for a 02 SE from Crutchfield My radio is removable (Kenwood Echelon) which means I need room to slide it to the left about an 1/8". The dask kit I bought doesn't allow for movement and the radio sits flush to the dash. Does anyone know if the single Din GXE dask kii with the vents, for the 01 model, would work for me? I guess I need my radio to stick out from the dash kit.

 

i have the gxe trim kit. on the top slot i have the alpine iva d300 deck. would the alpine SBS-05DC single din center speaker fit below? i think it would look hella good if it did. im talking about this alpine center speaker:

So how much does the GXE Kit with the 99 Door cost?

Also, is DaveB still the guy to call up for this kind of thing?

Thanks,

Looks the same to me. with that fit in a 2001 infiniti i30

 

wow....thread back from the dead....atleast he searched unlike most newbies

 

Thanks,

But I was interested in the GXE Trim with the door. How much does that kit cost? I think it may have a better look than an aftermarket kit.

 

Should be about ~$130; like irish said, call Dave B...he'll know what you want: (888) 254-6060
