96 to 97 CD Player Size Transformation

Hey All,

The '96 Maxima has a regular size Bose audio player in the dash. But then in '97 Nissan made the Bose a Tape/CD player in a size that is known as double DIN. I like how the dash looks better in the '97 but the double DIN tape/CD player kinda sux, especially if you want a new CD player...and not a gay tape player.

Has anyone replaced their '97 double DIN stock CD/tape player? If you have or know where i can get a good double DIN that doesn't look like ***, please send me the link. Or, even better, if you put a regular smaller CD player in your 97 Max, please tell me how you did it and if there was any installation probs.

Thank you,
Rice

There is an install kit used when doing a single din radio. It will fill the extra space with a din sized pocket.

yeah, metra's a popular maker of those "dash kits".

I have this in my 1993 maxima SE (replaced BOSE cd/tape/radio)
