Traded my Versa in yesterday. Yall were a big help on searching for a G. Thought my search was dead, but got lucky on a good deal.

'03 Coupe 5AT with 20,700 miles.

I'll try to get my pics today, but here's a pic from the dealer's site.

Thanks guys

When I bought the Versa I was driving 100 miles a day, only 20 miles a day now, so it served its purpose. Funny it had 40k miles on it was an '07, and the G as half the miles but 4 years older.

Hoping to avoid the speeding ticket thing, my last VQ didn't get me in trouble, but it was in an SUV.

First dumb question:

Looking for a cable that can plug into the Sat jack on the OEM radio that can plug into a headphone jack on my phone/MP3 player. Its not an Ipod, so wondering what can be done for that? I know I wouldn't have control through the stereo, but that's fine.

Thanks

Welcome to the G side!! Glad you found a 1 in a 1000000 G!

Make sure to check out the G-series FAQ (link in my sig) and the other G forums. I know chano would know about the adapter cable your thinking of.

I found an connect thing for 2 Aux input to the stock stereo on Ebay, but am unsure of it, would love if someone was using it that knew it worked well. $100 is kinda high to me also.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWD1V

03 with only 20k on it?! Damn! Good job bud.

Here's a tip: Save up some money and buy the Dual Din conversion kit and put in an aftermarket radio.

One of the biggest problems with the 2003/2004's is the head unit which fails with the CD player as well as can cause some issues with the AC controls. The first thing I changed out on my car was the stereo...and I havent stopped since then....

I like the stereo controls on the steering wheel too much. Got use to them on my previous Pathfinder and Versa. Hoping the Stereo holds out, but if necessary I'll replace and make sure I have MP3 and Bluetooth again as well (only thing I miss from the Versa I think).

How about rf modulation for the iPod? Some of the quality ones sound fairly good and you could still use the normal stereo controls.

I've just got an MP3 phone, so just need a headphone jack input instead of Ipod.

You have a tape deck... buy one of those tape adapters that has a headphone jack... they cost like 20 bux at wal-mart

Could be a possibility. Been so long since I've had a tape deck, I almost forgot about that option.

MP3 phone, or iPod, the concept of the rf modultator still can apply. Works well with the higher quality units. Another possibility has to do with what type of antennae input you have. For about 30 bucks (an even less) you can get an rf modulator with rca input jacks that sits inline with your antennae. Some have auto sensing for when you have a source that is active on the rca jacks, other have to be turned on. But these work even better. Maybe not as good as an aux input but for retro applications very easy to add and allow use of your normal controls.

Also forgot to state one source. The last one I purchased was from Car Toys. You should however be able to find one in other locations, maybe Best Buy or one of the many auto parts stores.

If that's your main concern, you don't need to worry. Pac Audio makes numerous adapters that allow your steering wheel controls to control your aftermarket stereo. I have one for my Pioneer AVIC-F90BT.

I'll try to go to aftermarket and keep those working, if/when the OEM has issue.

Daughter is very beautiful. I feel a little 'old dirty man' saying that, but if she's into old fat guys, let me know.

I've had season tickets for 3 years and make a few road trips (LSUJMU last year and ECU/Elon this coming season).Myself at a game with the '06 Nat Champs trophy:
