SSRECORDS....I just read on a post that to install the PAC steering wheel adapter that you need to use a IR remote?? Is this true?
Im not too familiar with the D2 and its bypass. And also I didn't need to use any IR with ths D3
Hey hybridamp,,, Nice install and color match. I see your radio sits back some in the installation kit. Mine too. It's kinda hard to turn the volume knob all the way up with one turn cause the kit gets in the way. What do you think??

You only need an IR remote if you are using a PAC-SWI X or other, not for the PS one.
So, basically this one??? Which I bought.

EDIT...NVM. It says no more IR remote. Phew.
ssrecords: Yeah, I have exactly the same problem. I normally prefer knobs for volume control rather than buttons, but in our case, buttons would have been nice since the knob is difficult to use with our kit; at least the steering wheel buttons work okay I guess.

I took apart the dash and came up with this
You could use longer screws and spacers for the radio brackets which would kick it out enough. Then you would have to modify the radio kit. I'm gonna try it next week and see what happens. I'll let you know
Cool, I had to enlarge my bracket holes just to get it to seat correctly the first time.
By the way, how is your FM reception with the D3 installed? My stock BOSE deck received around 13 FM stations in my area, now I get 1. I double checked the ant and it's plugged in securely to the deck, I'm guessing it's because I put my GPS antenna on the rear deck and since the FM antenna is embedded into the rear window that the GPS is causing interference... I dunno, the service manual for the altima shows the OEM gps antenna going under the rear deck also so who knows. 
Reception is fine although when you scan for stations, it will more than likely skip over some stations that you know it should not have a problem picking up
Nice, that means something is causing probs with my antenna back there.
Hey wuts up? i just finished putting the d3 in my 06 altima too. my only concern/question is how to reset the air bag sensor. it continues to blink on my dash. any ideas before i bring it over to nissan. thank guys...
^ Indeed, had to use that the first time.
If you don't start the engine with the airbag light disconnected, it won't happen in the first place; just turn it to ACC to test the system and avoid starting the engine to keep from having to reset the light next time.
hybrid amp that illumination match with the altima is perfect! I can't wait to get my D3 when it gets in stock!
great Idea on the Cam. Looks clean.
thanks guys i am going to give that a try today, i will let you know how it works out
Hey guys it worked...just figured ill let you know... all i have to do it get a switch and do the bypass....take care and i will be back....
HELP...
Got D2 installed in 05 Altima. Bypass works great, ill, and vss work great. However, the radio in the stock brackets sits too high, so the face plate that I ordered from crutchfield does not fit. There is a gap at the bottom, and the cd drive will not close because the top is hitting it.
What kit did you use to make yours fit? Did you use the stock brackets. I could only get 3 screws on each side to line up, which could be causing problems. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
You can drill new holes in your mounting brackets
