You cannot swap out a non-bose for a Bose. Either replace with another nonBose or go aftermarket.

Replacing manual HVAC for Climate Control would be a nightmare to do since temp sensors are missing.

What he said.

Since Nissan does not use "universal" wire harnesses, you have a lot of wiring to add, not to mention parts, for both of those swaps.

Being on my 3rd Maxima with a Bose, I wouldn't expend the extra effort to add one into a car that didn't have one. They are fairly decent, but don't have the features of a middle of the road aftermarket radio. And when it takes a dump, you don't have a lot of options.

And boy, Do they take dumps.

Just go aftermarket and be a lot more happy in the end.
