i have a 2001 with bose and im replacing it with a pioneer DEH-7600. I got the metra kit but i dont think it will look right, being black and not flowing with the rest of the center console... So im interested in getting the GXE dash kit with a pocket. Anyone have a set up like this I could see? Thanks.

 

Here is BlackBIRDVQ's setup:

Here is my setup....I am currently getting rid of these Kenwood's and upgrading to something much better.

 

Wanna buy it?

 

Perfect match.

 

hmm.. i think i'm missing a part.. is there a bracket that goes around the deck? because mine doesnt exactly fit. (picture is shown with metra kit, which i wont be using)

 

Yep, looks like it, I hate the fact that you have to get a plastic "harness" to install aftermarket decks.

 

yes, you need to get a ISO-DIN adaptor plate. Any car audio place should have them..

BTW, this is the GXE kit with the 4th gen (99) Maxima "pocket" that has a door...

 

Hey all. Is the GXE dash kit still available? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Any info if much appreciated.

 

call Dave B or any Nissan dealer......it's a factory part.

 

You can also check in the 5th Gen classifieds.

i think this would look even better

 

Double DIN DVD or Navigation Head Units look amazing on the 5th gen max. I know this has been discussed in other threads, but seeing as theres a pretty big demand (or maybe its just me) for Double DIN dash kits for 00-03 maxes, why havent they started making them yet? The GXE double din dash opening is the next best thing correct? Isnt it around $110 from the dealer?

 

Hey guys,

Alright, so I'm a little late on this one, but I haven't been here in a while, so bear with me.

Here's a side-by-side of when I had the Metra and then replaced it with the GXE. The Metra seemed to fit decently, but it looks terrible so far as color matching is concerned. On the other hand, Alpine's trim ring fit with the Metra and NOT with the GXE kit. I believe irish used a trim piece from another aftermarket install kit to remove the gap left by the GXE kit.

Make sure you check the classifieds before buying this thing new. I found a guy on here selling the trim (with vents) and pocket for $50, which is about half price, and it was in great shape.




Good luck!

 

the gxe dash looks a lot more cleaner than the metra in my opinion, and it fits right in without a gap or anything.

 

My GXE kit never fit right. The bottom always stuck out and wouldn't sit flush with the climate control. The kit also snapped at the bottom where it meets the climate control.

 

Where can I find that little door that goes on the emply slot? Irish you know where I can buy one?

 

Bump. Interested in this as well.

 

Get in touch with Dave B...his information is in the FAQs. I got great prices from him the other day...

 

The in dash kits look nice

 

Yeah I got mine slot door that you see in Irish's pic from Dave B. The cost was like $27 shipped.

 

Either way the gxe kit is not an exact match in color anyway. But it is probably more functional.
