Hello,

I was trying to install the Nissan iPod interface into my 2004 Maxima, but could not remove the glove box assembly. I was able to only remove 6 out of 7 screws holding the assembly in place Even after removing the glove box completey by removing the pegs (they were a pain to remove) and then detaching the glove box from the cord holding it in place, I still couldn't see the last screw to remove. I think it may be under the trim piece that is loweest to the ground on the passenger side against the center console, but I'm not sure how to remove that one either. Has anyone removed either of these two pieces before? Any advice on how to proceed?

Thanks!

1) Remove the left and right foot covers from passenger area
left (center console) cover has 2 pins/pegs on top portion
carefull they are snapped on some fragile plastic bracket
right cover- pull from back or rotate top portion left

2) remove 3 screws at bottom of dash: left, center and right.
If you don't remove the lower trims, you will not see two lower screws

3) Open glove box and remove left and right screws, and 2 screws for latch.
4) Pull top a tad hard to un-snap the pins.
5) Disconnect trunk switch wire, center glove box bulb and then lower bulb

The yellow connectors under the dash are for the air bags. Much safer to disconnect battery before doing any wiring.

Thanks. I'll have to take a look later in the week, but I think I'm confused about item #1. I couldn't figure out how to remove it earlier for the life of me...

hello there, please if you install this Nissan interface let us know if you are able to see the song info in the head unit screen, are you able to control the ipod via sterring wheel controls??? are you still able to use the 6 disk cd changer???
Sorry, lot of questions but as far as I know you are the first one to install this interface from Nissan.
Thanks in advance.

You should be able to control the iPod via the steering wheel controls, but I'm not sure on the specifics. You should also be able to continue to use the 6 disc changer. I'm not sure about the song info, but imagine that it will.

BTW, the original thread where we discussed this is (although I just checked and I see that you have posted there as well...):

As soon as I get more time this week to remove the glove box assembly, I'll see how much further I can get.

hello there, just checking if you were able to install the interface, please let us know your experience.
Merry Xmas.

Not yet... I've been tied up with other things. As soon as I get some time, I will install it and report back.

Monotaur,

Any update? Does it work with the 04?

Monotaur

Nope, no update, sorry. But according to my dealer and the installation docs, yeah it should work with the 04. I've been meaning to get to the adapter, but I've had a lot of other things pop up that I wasn't expecting (some health, some other). I'll try to get to it soon.

I was able to install the i-Pod interface on my Maxima 04. See my response under i-pod interface. You will be able to control the i-pod from the steering wheel and radio controls but the song information won't be display on the screen.

what interface did you use, can you give us the part number and did you install it dissasambling the glove box or through the dass board??
