Does the BOSE system have a auxillary hook up for an IPOD or MP3 player?Most of the newer cars have this feature.My Moms 07 camry has one. If not is there a simple and inexpensive way to install one? I dont see any aux modes on the Bose so I am assuming ya cant do this. Well if Im not in the right place to ask this question Im sure some smarta-- will let us all know,seems a lot of people on this site could care less about helping someone and obsess about errors regarding proper posts.Probably cuz they dont know as much about cars as they do computers.maxman7

 

There is a iPod kit for our generation of maximas. But Im not so sure about a Aux port as the 04's dont have one maybe the 07/08ers' do?

 

My 07 has the 1/8 inch aux jack. You can hook up anything that can output to that type jack. Can't control an Ipod without that kit. One exists, but I don't have an Ipod, so no interest in getting setup with that kit.

What year is yours?

 

So i've heard but the 04-05 maxima its the cassette player that is used as an aux

 

my 08 se w/ bose has it.

 

04-06 maxima's dont have an AUX port.... you can get an IPod extention from nissan for $200-$300.

07-09 maxima's have an AUX port.

09 maxima's with tech package have a prebuilt ipod connector which allows you to control functions on your ipod via steering wheel control.

 

used PAC adapter for a couple of years now ~$60 when I got it. Right as rain

 

I have been looking into these lately. I have an '04 and I was planning on adding a amp/sub to the stock deck. I am currently using a zune fm adapter. Would much rather have a PAC, did you install it yourself? Any info on this is much appreciated. thanks

 

Mine is an 2004,and it dont have the 1/8" jack,thats what i was looking for on it.My moms camry has it,not mine,hopefully I will find some kit to use.thanks maxman7

 

checkout www.installer.com they have everything for your car.

 

i have a 2006 max and it has a empty aux nissan said i could purchase a cable from them dont know how much , but for now im just using cassette as my ipod connector

 

I bought my ipod interface for $118 shipped few months ago. I searched eBay again and I found these listings.

You can install them yourself VERY easily. It took me 30-45 mins to install, including take off the entire center of the dash and console. It's all plug n play... no rewiring needed.

 

I posted this on that thread too, but anyone with an 04 Maxima should keep in mind that with the Bose system and the in-dash CD changer, installing the USA Spec adapter requires that you disconnect the in-dash CD changer. It is an easy install and sounds great, but keep that in mind if you have this setup.

 

believe it or not... I installed it, and can still use the cd changer. I tried few times with different CDs and still works fine... how? no freakin clue. I've been using my ipod adapter mostly though..

 

Believe it or not but the bose cassette player in my 04 sounds better than the CD player. I use my Samsung Delve music phone with a cassette adapter and use the sound settings on the mp3 player. The stock subs actually bump ! I have to be careful with the base and treble because its loud. Nissan really screwed up the Bose. Its a capable system and Nissan doesn't care to complete it with a good head unit. Just a waist.

 

Interesting ... when I installed it in my car, there was no power to the cd changer at all, and in order to use the iPod I had to select CD on the radio, not the SAT button. There was even a warning in the instructions to take the CD's out first, but I just thought that was a safety measure for removing the radio. I only realized after the install that I wouldn't have been able to get them out at that point because there was no power to the unit.

So I can only guess that there must be two different radios in the 04's. My car is an early one, bought in July of 03. Maybe they changed later in the model year?

 

i have an 04 and i dont think it does

 

I installed the peripheral IPOD adapter into my 2004 maxima sl and it works perfectly.

 

i have one of these. i think it uses the satellite radio input. I found a local shop to install it for $50.

maxman7, the one that I have known to have worked in the past is the PAC AAI-NIS2. It uses the SAT input so as long as you do not have satellite radio you will be good to go.

Auxiliary Audio Input Nissan/Infinity w/wo SAT The AAI-NIS2 works with XM/Sirius Satellite ready Infiniti and Nissan factory radios. It allows audio from devices like Apple's iPod™, VCP, MP3 players, Portable CD players, DVD players or aftermarket satellite receivers to play through the stock stereo systemradio

mine doesn`t have it

 

I just installed the PAC AOEM-NIS2 adapter so I could add an amplifier to my car, after to customizing to the PAC unit I got it to work beautifully.
My question now is on an 04 SE can I install the AOEM-NIS2 and the PAC AAI-NIS2 unit so I can have an aux input as well as an amp on the stock deck.
I want to see how long I can go without installing a new head unit because I don't feel like spending hundreds of dollars right now.
Google didn't really help me. Thanks

 

Thanks for the advice everyone, I'm going to try the iPod interface. I'll let you know how it goes.

 

Bumping to see if anyone how any info on this.

 

It should work as said above by connecting to the SAT button and the CD changer should work and music should display on dash (mine on bottom of Navi).

2004 needs the bose setup with the "SAT" button and it should work.

I've had this setup since 2007 and works flawlessly. Actually someone from this site put it in for me.

 

How exactly do you get the head unit out in a 06? How difficult is it to hook up output converter to H/U in order to use amp and subs? Please help im kind of clueless.

 

Yeah, i have an 05 3.5L SE with the cassette.
it gives tonnes of feedback when using a tape adapter for an ipod :S so i need an Aux jack kit for sure.

 

I have an '04 with Sat... Are there any videos or tutorials for how to hook an ipod adapter up to replace the Sat feature?

 

You could also use a fm tranmitter and plug into your cigarrette lighter =S

Thanks for any help.
