Bluetooth Module Location, please help.

I just installed an aftermarket radio on my 2011 Nissan Altima 3.5SR 4D, everything works fine except for the steering wheel control. The instructions says to connect the NSBT-BP (Bluetooth Bypass) to the Bluetooth Module. But I wasn’t able to find the BM. My User Manual says it’s on top of the rear deck, but there was nothing after removing the top layer of the rear deck. Please, if you guys know where it is, please help. Thanks.

Unless you have Bose w/o Navigation, there is no module. On base systems and Navis the WD shows it built into the radio.

So does that mean I can’t use the steering wheel control with my aftermarket radio? btw I’ve Boss BV900ACP aftermarket radio.

I'd presume you can still make it work, since on units that don't have a BT Module, it's the same 3 wires going straight to the radio. However, you'll need to break out the WD for your original radio connector, locate the wires and route them to the right pins on your aftermarket set.

Hey, do you think if I purchase ASWC-1 Steering Wheel Control Interface, would it work on my car. The thing is the instructions is saying to unplug the BM which you already told me it don’t have it. What do you think?

You'll still need to interface it with the wires from the column, so it won't be plug-and-play. However, it shouldn't be too difficult to sort out, it's a 3-wire interface and one of the 3 is ground. The other two wires are balance resistors that produce an analog voltage when the switch is pressed. So if you identify the wires from your hardware that would have plugged into the BT, then identify the data wires at the column (see the AV section of the manual), it should be easy enough to connect to the right places with T-taps.
