After long thought i and a trip to nissan, ive accepted the fact that my HU is approaching its end.. And at this point i have 3 options..

1. Pay Nissan $2k to totally replace the stock HU (never will that happen)
2. Try & piece together a the stock NAVI and replace my BASIC stereo HU
3. Just go aftermarket

Now that ive arrived here my prob is that i want to go ahead and install an in-dash navigation system whether it be the stock or aftermarket. Im not sure how its gonna work or what will become of the lcd screen or if i can even keep my 6 disc changer.. Im jus lost

Has anyone here done this or have any suggestions b/c i dont even knw where to start but the stereo is getting on my last nerve.. Please post links w/ pics if u can thatll help GREATLY. refer to this link for the story

If you have bose and want to replace your Head Unit then you need to replace your speakers and amp as well. I recommend taking this to the audio section for some more specific help.

 

This is really beginning to get on my nerves because its not exactly a $$ issue its the the time & red tape ill have to go thru to have something merely simple get done.. When these cars give u problems they give u hell..

Well i know its been done so i just keep trying but im still open to any and all possiblities. Thx pimp

 

$2k ???? Are you serious? Is that what they quoted you? Got mine replaced for free. But yeah go get a new aftermarket deck,amp and speakers for about half that with installation.

Good Luck.

 

Yeah im expecting to pay $800-1000 but i thought id be able to keep the speakers and amp

 

WRONG. You can very easily install an aftermarket HU and retain your Bose speakers.

 

whoa whoa.... are you talking about the 6 disc changer??? i have one i'll give you for cheap... is that what they're asking $2k for? wtf?

 

Yeah gimmie a break ! Bose doesn't even make that cheesy changer and the tape player with the Bose label sounds better.

 

Wow 2k is redic...never will pay Nissan $20 non the less 2k! But I went with a Eclipse 2DIN Navi/DVD and I love it..I'm currently trying to sell it to get something different but I like it..Replaced the info screen with a 7'' NESA screen that I play my 360 on

 

+1 for the Eclipse units.

 

YungmaxiOwna21 - see I told you, you could find a used one out here. Now you just gotta choose. Good luck.

 

Waiting to hear...

 

go aftermarket and never look back.

 

The LCD screen will stay where it is and work fine (unless you move it down like a lot of us have) 6 disc (made by Clarion FTR) has to go if you put in a new HU.

So yes a lot of us have done it, go aftermarket, you will be much happier! And po8pimp be careful with statement that are not true/correct you can confuse people on these boards!!! I ran my stock speakers for a few years with my NAVI HU...
