I have a 2002 Maxima w/ Navigation and Bose. I am looking to replace the whole audio system but had some questions. I haven't opened up the console yet.. and was just wondering.. does anyone know how the navigation integrates w/ the stock head unit?? Is there simply an audio input that goes into the stock head unit to mute when the navigation voice is being played?? Is the 2002 w/ Navigation wiring harness the same as the 2001??

I can't seem to find anything specific for the 2002 yet, so I was wondering if the 2001 harnesses and such will suffice.

I'm planning to put in a Eclipse 7002, and was wondering if I could somehow integrate the navigation without losing my inputs (cell phone mute some how??)

Thanks

 

DTV,

If you are still around, what did you end up doing? I have a new Kenwood KDC-X817 with MB Quart "Q" series that I want to replace the Bose with. Can I use my aftermarket unit and still have the navi work along with possibly steering controls?

 

the steering controls will prolly not work anymore =(......thas why u buy the base model of the maxima and work you way up.....atleast u know for next time =)

 

Can I still use my aftermarket CD Player and put it where the tape deck is and still have the Navigation work?

 

you can get the PAC SWI-X steering wheel controls adapter from www.crutchfield.com and with that they can also make the trip computer button active again, i'm positive it works b/c i have it in my 2k2
good luck

 

So I can add my CD player under the navigation and still have the navigation work, along with the steering controls if I get the aftermarket part from PAC?

Thanks.

 

i'm not sure about the navigation, i just had the regular in dash bose, sorry--best thing you can do is take it to a car stereo place and talk to some people there about doing it

 

Did PAC "fix" the SWI-X so the trip computer now works? The thread dated 11/7/2001 about "trip computer" does not indicate that a "fix" was found. There was no follow-up posted. Also, the PAC website says "under research" for the 2k2 Max.

thanks

 

no fix, they just hooked it up and it worked

 

Any details you can share? I got the below reply from Karl at PAC when I asked him the status of the SWI-X and the Trip computer:

>>>
Unfortunately we have not been able to get our hands on a 2002 Maxima. I have asked our local car audio shops to give us a call if they do get one in so we may do some research on it. We do have other projects on priority, so we have the Maxima on hold until a shop gives us a call. Of course this does not guarantee we will make one.

Thank you,
Karl Yama****a

I want to replace my BOSE head unit with a JVC KD-SH99, but have it on hold till this "trip computer" issue has a solution.

thanks

 

I am pretty sure that www.crutchfield.com has them for sale. I think I read that somewhere.

 

i don't have any details, i just bought the SWI-X and Car Toys installed it and the trip computer worked, so it can be done if the installer knowss what they are doing, my guy was very knowledgable about them as he had made some before

 

any way we can hookup Karl and "Car Toys" so PAC can get the official "fix" or hook-up out the general public?

If you could send Karl an email with the info, I am sure he would appreciate it alot!

thanks

 

2002 Maxima and Altima has been researched. Maxima brn/wht wire needs to be grounded, and Altima ( if anyone on this forum cares ) lavender wire needs to be grounded. If you guys get the SWI-X from Crutchfield, make sure you have the most recent instructions which can be downloaded from our site.
