Anyone install an 05 pathfinder or 350z hu into their max? I know it can be done but want some good pics and description of the job before I buy a unit. Thanks in advance for the help.

Basically, the only thing you need to do is redrill new holes in the brackets that are almost exactly 1/2" further back, as well as hammer out the indentations that locked the old HU in place. Also, I don't know if this was because the one I bought might have been damaged, but in case you hook it up and the speaker amps don't turn on, you need to cut the Amp-On wire and splice it into the ACC wire so that they turn on when the car is on. I always have my radio on when I'm in my car, so I didn't think it would draw unnecessary current.

Credit goes to BlackKnight for pics/description, and to me for taking a few seconds to search.

Hey thanks I appreciate the search. Im wondering if I can change the backlight....any thoughts? I'm going to do red led's all through the interior this winter so I'd like to be able to make the backlight in the pathfinder hu red. Should just be new bulbs right?
