I know that much but just below the nav is a single din Bose cassette am/fm hu (I can play CDs with 6 cd changer in the trunk and thru the nav unit itself), I just wanna replace the factory Bose hu and keep the nav unit.

 

...why, and with what?

 

I want to replace so I can put my subs in and I want to replace with a decent aftermarket deck, I don't need anything too fancy

 

I can assume this info is here some where, but i have been surfing for hours with no way to get specific answer :-\

 

Buy a head unit that suits your needs. Shop on Crutchfield and compare features. None of these units will harm your system, provided they are installed properly. No special information needed.

 

Because your question is extremely general, or because you didn't realize you reached the answer when you saw it. It's within this thread itself, but now I've answered it for you, up one post.

 

Thanks Allot!!!

 

Hello i just installed a new aftermarket Panasonic head unit in my infiniti i30 2000. I have an issue where when i turn on the lights for night time driving the climate control lights go off and the speedometer lights go off as well but when i turn them off lights cut back on. . i checked fuses they are good please help!!

 

Check your wiring. Something wasn't done correctly. You might have hooked up the positive illumination instead of the negative dimmer. Or vice versa.

 

okay will check

 

are you sure you didn't accidentally lowered the dimmer all the way down
happened to me once. figured it out after 10-15 sec.

Edit:
oh nvm the climate control is not connected to the dimmer is it

 

very helpfull will use.

 

Depends on the car I believe. In my 2000, my climate control dims with the dimmer. So do the lights in the front window/lock switches. But not the lights in the rear window switches. Go figure.

 

will 5 1/2's fit front and back doors on these?

 

6.5's.

 

I Got a 95 Maxima with the BOSE sound system. well its worked well for a long time now only my screen went out and comes on when it wants to. it will work for about an hour a month id say. well just 2 days ago it stopped playing music. it has power takes the cds and plays radio but no sound at all. so im thinking the radio went out.


Where can i get a replacement BOSE or where can i get it repaired at? and how much? i do not wanna put a aftermarket one in.

 

id keep an eye out in the classifieds here. honestly its almost not worth it to get another bose radio cuz its just likely to happen again unless ur just getting rid of the car soon. i have bose in my max with an aftermarket HU and its soo much better, its really inexpensive to go aftermarket.

 

Agree. Go aftermarket. It will be cheaper, and will sound better in the end.

Why are you against replacing with aftermarket? If cost OR installation are worrying you, then maybe this will change your mind. (shameless plug)

Great unit, cheap, comes prewired.

 

if there's no sound it could either be the bose fuse (which i think there's two of em') or either the relay that power's the amps.

when i first bought my 4th gen it had an awia cd player with pioneer's 6.5's. sound like ****. turns out trhey had by passed the bose amps. so i put the bose amps and speaker's back in. sound better but not quite there. and it was'nt loud.

got a factory head unit...imo it's loud. pretty good bass. excellent clarity!
some aftermarket head units are good some are'nt.

and i just did the aux. hook-up mod too.

 

I have an 03 5th gen with Bose and I'm about to completely replace the audio system.

I'm a bit confused about the dash kit I'll need for my new double din Pioneer AVH-P4100DVD. The Metra fit guide shows that the dash kit in this original post won't work with Bose. It says to use the Metra 95-7416G and not the95-7417.

I can't find the 95-7416G anywhere but here: http://bicostereo.com/index.php?act=...productId=5301

Is a kit required for a double din aftermarket unit?

Is this this right kit?

Any suggestions as to where to buy it?

Thanks in advance!!

 

95-7416G is the shape you need - based on the looks of it.
The 95-7417G does not look to be the right shape.

Scosche also makes a double din kit that you can look at.
And you can also get the GXE dash kit if you want it to look 100% OEM (at a price, it's about $130)

Lastly, please change your font and size back to standard.

 

Thanks! I had copied and pasted some stuff into my reply and couldn't figure out how to get it back to the default settings. I think I have it fixed now.

 

yep, fixed. Thanks!

 

This is the easiest way to hook up to the factory speakers using an aftermarket HU...

Beg to differ.

 

hey, i have an 02 maxima and i stopped getting output from my driver door speaker. its not blown or anything i tried 2 other speakers n still nothing. i have a bose system w/o a nav. how do i fix this problem? and also is it easier jus 2re-wire the whole car if im gettin new interior speakers all around n a aftermarket h/u?

 

Common problem. Replace your head unit with an aftermarket one. You DON'T have to re-wire your car or change out your speakers if you replace your head unit only.

If you decide you want to change your speakers, then yes you have to re-wire the car.

Personally I'd start with the HU only. It will make your Bose speakers sound better anyway.

 

Thnx...i have memphis audio speakers anyway but plan on gettin some jl's or focal lata on...i want clarity n quality

 

Lol. Clarity and quality. You're not going to get them from Memphis or JustLousy.

 

I kno memphis arent but it was in the car already...wut do u prefer?

 

Not sure of what's the latest and greatest, but I've always been partial to Rainbow. Out of curiosity, where are you located?

 

I live in tampa fl...i looked at sum hertz speakers n a soundstream dvd/mp3 in dash radio. Any thoughts guys??!!

 

Also wuts a good amp 2run a 12inch sub, like wattage n brand?

 

Hertz makes good products. I didn't even know that Soundstream make decks.

Need a budget for amp recommendation. Do you already have the sub? If not, I have a pair of 10's for sale, in a box.

 

I dnt have a budget really...jus wanna see wuts out there 1st. Idk if i want 8's, 10's, or 12's...i wanna sound like i have 2 12's but w/o the weight, i kno sounds gay n undecisive

 

Nah, everyone has their own preference. I was in the same boat - I was concerned with trunk space. There are very deep and boomy 10's that 'sound like 12's.'

My suggestion is to get a big 5 or 6 channel amp that will power both your interior speakers and your subs. But you're looking at spending 500-800 for that type of amp in a decent brand.

 

Ive seen sum around ill look into em...the thing is i wanna be heard loud n i want it 2be clear as well!!!

 

Loud and clear is very possible. My 10's might actually be good for you. But shipping sucks. You want me to get you a quote?

 

Sure why not

 

Hey everyone,
Noob here, hope I’m not posting in the wrong place.
Just got a 2000 SE with 100k, one owner. So far so good, it’s a pretty sweet ride.
Anyway, looking at getting a Kenwood KDC-X993. I have read enough to know what I need for install and plan on doing it myself.
Anyone know if this HU will work, since the preamp outs are only 4v?
Also, I guess I’ll just wait and see if there any whine or pop before doing anything additional.
Thanks,
Q
