Hi,

I own a Nissan Note 2006 with a factory fitted car radio, I would like to change this for a shiny new bluetooth/mp3 etc... compatible fitted one.

Any advice/tips on how to do this? Will I need to purchase any adaptors or will this be pretty straight forward.

I really would like to keep my steering wheel controls.

cheers.

    http://www.fitaudio.com/?View=entry&EntryID=147 shows how to remove it but the Note does not appear on any of the fitting adaptor databases that I have tried. Keeping the steering wheel controls is unlikely to be available on a Nissan.

    I have sorted it now.

    For others who may want to change their Note car radio. Most major brands like Sony, Kenwood, JVC are a straight swap with the ISO connectors.

    To keep the steering wheel controls the adaptor costs approx £20 - £40 part number PC99-X70, its acutually works on the micra also.

    Cheers for the replies though.

    Did you find a fascia plate to fit ? Strange how none of the databases list it. I see it has a european set up on the wiring rather than the normal japanese.

    No fascia needed on mine as its the SE not SVE with cd changer.

    All i did was go to halfords and get them to tell me what I needed, obviously will shop elsewhere to save money.
  • Hi, I have got the four screws out but the actual stereo unit refuses to budge, was it just remove the four screws and it should slide out?

    interested to know what type of CD RADIO was fitted as I spoke to halfords and they said that they did not have one to fit an SE model Nissan note
    thanks

    I found a guide here: how to remove nissan note stereo 2006 but it has no info on facia adaptors. I've googled it and can't see anything either.
