I worked with Sam at Beat Sonic for a plug and play type harness to bypass the DVD playback. Excellent customer service!

Nice! I had that done when I had an Escalade a few years back. Watch out for cops if you have that going while the car is moving-- they'll probably ticket you...

 

Does this work on the 2012 max?

 

You may be better off looking for a dvd bypass thread by fredmc2020. He posted a video that explains the procedure in detail. I did the dvd bypass in my 2010 Maxima SV one weekend in 2015 when I couldn't find a shop who could do it for me. I spent a total of $13 dollars for the parts I used and it's been trouble free going on a little over a year later.
