Do you have BOSE?
If so, get the GXE Double Din kit and a Pathfinder HU w/ 6disk and MP3

Another option is getting an Ipod and get an AUX interface or FM/Tape tuner

If you have an iPod or are looking to get one, Soonerfan has this from Harman Kardon and has given it rave reviews:

Does the HK drive and play use a radio frequency or is it wired directly for better sound?

I do have Bose in my 02 Maxima
And I want something OEM. Do not have time to put an aftermarket one. Can I put an Mp3 Disk Changer with my current Bose Set up or do I have to get a Pathfinder HU and then hook up the Mp3 Disk Changer. Also what year of Pathfinder HU will be compatible.

Yeah that is it.
So you do have BOSE. You will need the GXE trim kit to make that fit.

If you want to maintain your OEM look, this is another option. This device hooks in to your 6 CD changer input (on the 00-01 Bose units).

the best part about the drive and play is that you dont have to actually touch the ipod (which i like cause i didnt want to have to figure out a way and place to mount the ipod to be able to see it and control it). it stays in the glove box charging. the screen shows everything and the controller works the same as the ipod controls.
