cbnav Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 I have a 2002 Nissan Maxima with Bose Audio. Crutchfield's web site says it will not fit as does best buy and circuit city. I called Pioneer and they say it does fit since I have a double din slot in the Maxima. I can also find a double din dash adapter for the Maxima. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shoman94 Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 I have a D1 in my car...yes it works just fine. I purchased a Nissan Double DIN trim from the Maxima with NAV. FOUND HERE: [url=http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=CP&Product_Code=68750-VENTC]http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchant2/ ... 8750-VENTC[/url] You unscrew the stock radio from the mounting bracket and screw it to the D2 If you already have the Bose stereo, you might already have the above trim piece..... Hope this helps..... PS... you do end up with a small gap at the bottom....about 1/4 to 5/16 of an inch..... I used black plastic to fill in the gap....looks and works great.

cbnav Posted October 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 shoman Thanks for you quick reply. This sounds like it will do the trick. One more question. Did you have to install the Nissan integration adapter to match to the speaker system or is there another nissan specific harness adapter I would need?

cntrylvr79 Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 You can use a metra 70-7551 to keep the bose system in tact. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cbnav Posted October 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Is there any reason I can't use this dash kit. [url=http://www.scosche.com/scosche_caraudio.aspx?CategoryID=5&ItemID=NN1494B]http://www.scosche.com/scosche_caraudio ... ID=NN1494B[/url] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 No that kit should work fine for you. Looks like it's got exactly what you need. Well If I remember what the radio of your car looks like anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cbnav Posted October 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Thanks for the help. I'll be installing after Christmas and will let all know how it comes out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gadgeeets Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 i have a 2002 maxima with a D2 and that kit will work but i wont look as good as a nissan gxe factory kit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cbnav Posted October 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Thanks for the info. I guess I'll find out how the kit looks as I just committed to the install. I had planned to do myself over the holidays, but my local Pioneer distributor has reduced the price to $999. Claims Pioneer has just lowered their price. I couldn't beat that price from an authrozed dealer on the internet so decided to go ahead. Dealer won't do the bypass though so I'll still have to do that myself.

Good luck.... Whether you have a Bose kit or not... there is a kit specified for it.... you will also need a radio antenna adapter..... There is also and trick with the wiring that you need to be able to still utilize your MPG, TIME, AVG.Speed etc..... otherwise it will show Temp only all the time. You can go on forums.maxima.org for the answer.... you can also get a PAC kit from crutchfield....this way you can still use the volume an everything.... I haven't got this yet but will soon.....
