Hey I know this is old. But thank you very much. I was very scared following picture guides because I was unsure of how much pressure and how to pry the things apart. This helped a lot.
@BallxSkillz Thanks for taking the time to make this video, it helped me A LOT! It's the little things, like how hard it is to remove the 8 really tight screws, I would have stripped them out for sure had it not been for you. Please keep up the good work, you are what makes the internet so useful! Thanks again Bob.
Thank you, I know you posted this forver ago, but I just came to the issue. The main black (AC adapter type wire , main power) has two prings on it. The new stero only has one hole (like headphones jack) Where can I get an adapter? Im looking everywhere....
Hi, thanks for the video. i have removed my stereo from my 2003 Nissan Pulsar but I cannot unscrew the mounting screws. three of the four screws turn just fine but it's like they spin around without coming out. no amount of unscrewing will remove them. they just spin and spin. i don't understand it. the fourth is pretty tight and i can't get it to turn at all. can you help? thanks.
Mounting screws could have a stripped base. Apply pry pressure to the back of the mounting bracket at each screw, Unscrew with very little forward pressure on the screw and they may be removed. As for the fourth screw, make sure you have a good screw driver that mates to the head of the screw well.
My bass gas been coming and going lately on my 2000 maxima. Would any of the wires behind the stereo have an affect on the bass amp in the back dash? I don't want to remove it if there's no way it would fix my system. And if you have any other suggestions for fixing it please let me know. Thanks
This video wass extremely helpful since I now have to remove my newly bought stereo I had put in my Nissan Maxima. I have to remove it and re-install the orig stock radio because my car was labeled totaled by ins of girl that hit my car! body shop will NOT remove it cause insurnce insp already incl it in his inspection of car. Body shop guy said I can remove it and put old radio instead, since salvage lot will keep radio and Bose system that came with car! All this b cause of a foolish drivr!
Very good nice video thank you for posting this. Very helpful for anybody replacing a deck or hooking anything up to an existing deck. Thanks again bravo.
if your having a really hard time getting those last screws out, When you are trying to remove them you are probably pusing down really hard, Well because you are pushing down you are working against yourself trying to screw up, so push down and tighten the screw just a nudge in order to "break the seal" of them and then remove the screws as you normally would. it may help prevent horror stories like the guy below me and you wont have to drill at your radio just because of a screw
wow the last 4 screws seemed a lot easier to remove than in my case, i broke 2 phillips heads trying to get them out and had to drill 3 of them out and destroyed 2 drill bits doing that, really tough screws, but mine was 03
The Maxima usually has the Bose system. It will take several adaptors, wire harness and installation kit to make this stereo work properly. Adpators needed witl be a Hi/Low level adaptor that can be adjusted to match to the input level of the Bose amplifier, the second is an antenna adaptor. Visit one of your local installation shops for the right stuff. There is usually a loud pop associated with changing the factory stereo out when turning the stereo on and off.
does anyone know if its reasonable to replace the volume knob. My friends maxima cannot change the volume so would he have to replace the whole radio to get it to work
In many cases, these stereos have a surface mount volume control. Remove the knob should give access to the control. Radio Shack sells a "Control/Contact Cleaner". Spray the control, rotate and repeat several times. In many cases this can take care of the problem. Otherwise, this is one we would have to see for replacement and repair. CarStereoHelp "dot" com
Awesome video. Please post one showing how you get that much chest hair to pop out of your shirt? Is eating large quantities of beef jerky the secret? Ha ha ha. Thanks for posting.
So my 2000 max is having a stereo problem. I dont know if it is the amp, speakers, or if i need a new radio. The radio does not play at all but when i play a cd, you can slightly hear it. Turning the volume up or down doesnt affect what i hear. What do you reckon it may be? Also if I wanted to change the stereo which of the many out there would you recommend? Any feedback would be great
This is one of the best how-to videos I've seen so far. Thank you so much for spending your time to share this very useful and efficient information with us.
I have a 2000 nissan maxima that i installed an kenwood kdc-mp2035 deck into... all the wires are properly connected on the harness but i get no sound... this deck has only been in one other car and worls perfectly.. it reads CD's but gives no sound.. do i have to bypass the amp or will it integrate the deck with it?? PLEASE HELP
Radio has audio and there is no audio on CD? You have connected the "Antenna Trigger" to the amplifier turn on wire. Change to the "Amp Trigger" wire from the stereo.
does the same procedure apply to a 1997 nissan maxima because i just want to add aux wires to my pioneer stereo so i can use my ipod i just need to add the wires
can you help me on a nissan terrano 11 sports .... the hazzard light is build in around the stereo and the volume to change the stations is on the wheel
Thank you! This was very informative...been very hesitant to remove my bose since the AC controls seem to be attached...now I know how to safely get in to my stereo!
Great stuff. I wish I had this two years ago when I was replacing the head unit in my Maxima. Instead I ended up paying for instructions from this website.
Cool video, I need to remove the factory radio from a 96 Nissan Sentra, this is the same procedure or is there something different I need to do? Id like to put in cd player. Thanks.
