i used to have an altima and i put a nice system in it and the stock system in my max is horrible. I want to upgrade but im not sure what to do. If i put a new head unit in i lose the steering wheel controls and ugly. should i just get new speakers and amp them? but the quality probly wouldnt be as good as aftermarket. I was thinking about getting the bose head unit but it sounds expensive and complicated with the little amps i hear come with it. suggestions would be great, thanks!

 

If you go with an Aftermarket Deck you will need to purchase a PAC adaptor to regain use of your Steering wheel controls. Its $50 or so at crutchfield.

 

found it thanks, has anyone installed a PAC with an aftermarket radio and have it work fine?

 

yeah a couple people i know on the board has,I will purchase one also pretty soon

 

at my job we do PAC's in tons of cars. its really easy and makes things so much more convinient

 

I think the correct PAC is PAC SWI-PS. Someone said the Pac X one isnt as good because it is infared and you have to mount an LED somewhere.

 

where do i get that one?? ^^^

i want to buy one, i just want to know the right one and where to get it

 

The PAC product SWI-PS will work for '05 Pioneer and Sony stereos. SWI-ALP will work with SOME '05 Alpine decks.
