I'm really contemplating putting an aftermarket radio, moreover, the Pioneer Z110BT in my Max. Does anyone have an aftermarket radio installed?? I wanna see pics!

 

theres no aftermarket radio compartible for our max yet. alot of people has been trying and no luck. even the pioneer Z110BT wont fit.. sorry

 

What do u mean when u say not compatible?

 

Metraonline.com shows all the parts and accessories needed to install. Is that what you were referring to?

 

am not sure but i remember someone on this org was trying to install aftermarket radio and he said it wont fit cuz of the wiring connection and all

 

i went to Crutchfield.com to check if that aftermarket radio fits our max and it says it does but if install:

installation Details for your 2009 Maxima
» If the factory radio is replaced, the factory AUX input connection will be lost.
» You'll lose your factory XM capability if you replace your factory radio.
i would like to change mine as well but i dont know..

 

Im pretty sure the pioneer z110bt will fit, I just purchased the metra dash kit and i am trying to wrap it in the carbon fiber vinyl that matches the dash, once I get it done im looking at the kenwood dnx 6069.

 

it will fit but then you will have two scream. one on the top for just the climate control and the other on the bottom for the aftermarket radio. i might consider getting the pioneer but will have to wait till someone put aftermarket radio on theirs first..

 

where did you purchase your metra dash kit from

 

Well I don't have XM option because I have the S model and losing my AUX is ok as the Pioneer indash comes XM, Bluetooth and Ipod ready. So I'm actually gaining. But I wanna see pics of someone who already has an indash installed. I don't wanna spend all this money and waste time only not to like the way is looks. So some please post pix!!

 

Where did u get the carbon fiber kit from???

 

I ordered the metra dash kit from sonicelectronix.com, Metra 95-7427B.

My car came with the carbon fiber stock, Im trying to see which company comes close to the same pattern. These two look the closest so far:

i have carbon fiber stock on my car too and the closest will be from www. topvinyfilms.com
btw dont you think you should install the radio first before you put the carbon fiber? cuz it might get messy during installation if the carbon fiber is already on..

 

yea thats my plan!!

 

keep us posted when you do install the aftermarker radio

 

I'm not hijacking this thread but it relates to what I'm going to ask:
-Is there a HD radio tuner for factory installed radios? I don't want to put in an aftermarket deck since it has a USB port, composite ports and I already have XM radio in my Max.

 

DaPlatinumJedi, post 10 more times and you can start your own thread. Just not in here!

Back on topic, rtitan make sure you hit us with some pictures. I just found on the metraonline.com website that everything we need is available to install aftermarket. My only beef is finding that damn VSS wire in our cars for the Pioneer Nav system. Gotta do more research. I'm going to start a sticky unless rtitan beats me to it.

 

are you referring to this : PAC SOEM-4 for the VSS wire?

 

No I need to know the location of the VSS wire. It's typically behind the instrument cluster. But I don't know which wire.

 

are you doin the install yourself?

 

go into the FSM link under the how-to's sticky and click the "AV" link... buried in there is a full wiring diagram... Also if you search for the KP Tech nav bypass thread this was talked about alot.

 

According to DirectWire, from directed electronics instrument cluster, white 40 pin plug pin 31 for VSS wire!

 

heres a pic of a friend of mine with AVIC-x710BT installed on his 7th gen

 

Looks good, do you happen to know which dash kit that is?

 

looks great one question is the factory amp hooked up to this unit and if so how was it done,does the bluetooth still work ,and what about sat radio this is the only reason i havent replaced mine yet.

 

How about a dash kit for people with the monitor or tech package?

 

well, he has the S model which does not come with bluetooth or sat radio. but for this unit, its fully loaded with navi, sat radio, hd radio, ipod and other stuff...

 

I would never do this to my car, I believe in the stock look and idk, I don't like messing with the car's electronics, but thats just me.

 

the dash kit is from scosche.com . the item number is NN1664B

 

well so far all the dash kit i have come across is just for the S model without the navi and the rest goodies
