I think an 04-07 Pathfinder BOSE Headunit will work with lil or no modification.

EDIT: Requires BoSE / and splicing one wire it looks like..


good luck

The Maxima Bose head unit will also fit. As well as speakers.

I dont see why not.

U would need to match up the new radio wires with your car harness. prolly be cheaper AND easier to jus get an aftermarket radio

ive wondered this myself. i want a double din touch screen display with cd/mp3/gps. not sure which cars have them but honestly it shouldnt be too hard to make your own harness. 12 or so wires: power,switch,illumination,ground,pos.&neg. for 4 speakers,remote and auxiliary if you have an amp and subs. someone correct me if im wrong but you find a diagram for both harness for your car and harness for the player you should be able to snip the plugs and match the wires by function not color. mounting is a different story but brackets shoudnt be hard to make either. hope this helps.

+1 on aftermarket

You could get any other 4th gen non-bose and plug in, so long as the connectors match (or rig an adaptor), or you can go to crutchfield and get one. Comes with adapter, mounting hardware, and antenna adapter, mostly plug and play!

Physically it will fit. The wiring is a WHOLE other story, though. Bose and Non Bose stereos are completely different animals.

If you put in a head unit that doesn't plug into the Nissan wire harness, get adaptors from Metra instead of cutting the wire harness.

You can put whatever you want in there but with little to no modifications you options are limited to the above

Do you know of one that is like the two you posted above but uses the Droid interface. I am not an iPhone fan and only own droids but would love Pandora? Sorry op not trying to thread jack.

You can get one that has bluetooth and sync that with the receiver and use pandora on there. As long at there is an addon on there or it already has it. The pioneer would be a better one to go with seeing that it has more options and has hd radio and bluetooth.
