Can anybody tell me the (+) and (-) of having an aftermarket HU or an aftermarket cd Changer??

 

well the + to my head unit is that it comes with a 30gig hard drive for me to store all my music so i dont have to carry countless amount of cd's.(pioneer z1)

 

Better sound quality.

 

Indeed

.....

 

Any suggestions for a HU with an MP3 player. Also does anybody have any pictures of how it would look like if i took out my OEM HU out and replaced it with an aftermarket HU?

 

what year maxima do you have?

 

I have a 2003 Maxima SE!

 

you need to get the GXE Ventilator assembly other wise an aftermarket radio will not look right. You'll have big gaps on the sides of the headunit.

 

thats only if hes getting a double din.

 

Where can I get the "GXE Ventilator Assembly"??

I used to have a Panasonic 7301u in my old car, and it was a really good unit, and it can be brought on eBay for around $150. But another brand people usually overlook in Clarion, and they make some of the best head units out along with Eclipse and Alpine.
