Is it possible to keep my factory nav and still be able to install a an aftermarket radio? I'm looking at getting the Alpine iXA-W407 and still want to keep my factory navigation unit in place.

 

i ould def like to know the same because the factory cd is killing me. Skips all the time on new cds and now im only getting music in the right front/back speakers...Radio/tape works just fine but CD player Nissan gave us was GARBAGE.

 

I dont think it is going to happen because all the people I know in the audio Industry state the radio is intergrated with the NAV

 

it can be done i have done it its very simple if your still lookin into doing it lemme know

 

im interested! do you need to remove nav and install non nav dash?

 

Hey guys, I have a 06 Max with no Navi, but it has a screen on the upper dash like a navi. But all it display is the radio, a/c, etc. Can I turn that into a screen where I can watch movies if I install a dvd player? Without losing all of the original factory display stuff? Help! Thank...

 

I called a local A/V installer up here in Seattle and there isn't a after market system that would allow you to retain all those functions of you factory Navi/Audio controls. I was told that putting that screen somewhere else and putting the after market up there would be the better route. Not sure how that would work.

this is what I was quoted.

"you can install after market unit for nav and relocate the original screen like the rest of us are doing. this will keep all the original equipment and just add another unit. recommend taking a look at www.6thgenmaxima.org and checking out the pics of audio installs."

 

Where can I find just a stock radio cover for my 08 Max, I dont have Bose or Navigation, but the plastic cover has these hazy splotches that just wont come off... and the whereabout of where I could get a new instrument panel cover would be great!

 

ok so if we get 1 of these and get a wiring harness we loose our steering wheel controls and factory nav

 

No... you can get a kit that allows your steering controls to work...
and i have a aftermarket and my OG nav works.

At 1st they said it wouldnt but somehow they figured it out.




I got my stuff done at audio express... not the best place ive ever been too... but they did a decent job

 

the OEM radio controls DO NOT work... btw. but the nav and climate controls work
