I attempted to install the PA11-NIS on my 2k2 Max with Bose 6CD in-dash. It DEFINITELY does not work. The problem specifically is the smaller 16-pin connector in the HU versus the 12-pin connector of the PA11-NIS. They just won't physically fit, and they carry different signals. I was able to install it in my wife's 2K Max and it plays the iPod just fine as the manual indicated.

I tested 3 different units and there all the same. I even found a factory plug that fits so no opening up the radio and soldering on the circuit board.

Where did you find the plug?

3. Solder the following wires. I determined where the L+, L-, R+, R- wires go by using a multimeter in conductivity mode and tracing the pins from the CD changer connector. The labels on the picture are from memory so please double check them with a multimeter. The pin out diagram for the CD changer connector was found here: http://carstereohelp.net/wireharness_Nissan2.htm.

I am unable to see the labled solder connections in the first post, I am interested in this mod but I don't understand how to tell which of the 7 wires shown are the L+, L-, R+, R- wires, and which 2 are for the aux switch. Unless I can't count, (this could be the issue) doesn't this leave one wire in the second post unaccounted for? Does anyone have them labled or know how to i.d. them? This how to looks amazing.

Thats a more detailed write up I did. needs better pictures, but you should see what you need to do.

Could an admin edit the first post to include that link?

Not found.

im lookin at this also. whats the last wire for? L- L+, R- R+ Aux on & rxd ( i have a 99) but what;s the last wire for? ground?

anyone try this with a shield stereo headphone cable alone ? its got a ground shield and a l and R signal, all we would need to do is basically link up the L+ and R+ and then the common to the ground shield on both.

Also there are not many pics in the OP , does someone have the exact solder points on the PCB ?

So I've been messing around with this. I know that people have been looking for the diagram that shows which wires are which. Just for a short answer, in the second post there is a picture of wires soldered to the board, the 4 grouped together are L-, L+, R-, R+. As for the other 3, the furthest outside wires connected together will cause the AUX to show up on the display, so one must be ground and the other the aux. I have no idea what the third is. I have a bose unit from '96 and it worked this way.

wow u got some skills bro but i think their is an easier way im not that tech savy to scared.
