Installed Double-Din Nav on my wife's coupe...

[rjdmmfl1]

Are these double din units hard to install w/ the nav? Also how different would the trim kit from Clutchfield be than the OEM one? Sorry for the dumb questions. Need to start somewhere. Thinking about picking up the DNX5220 from Clutchfield. There seem to be some good deals right before the new 09 Kenwood stuff is coming out.

no, not hard to install.. i have a write up here that should help when installing in aftermarket double din setup

aftermarket double din setups don't have the texture of the factory duble din deck, but the factory double din is ONLY available in versions with the MANUAL climate control

Got 5120 delivered yesterday!!! Will install it on sat, we'll see how it is Also ordered oem dash kit, but honestly i'm not 100% sure if it's the right one. Can someone share part number?

I got my 5120 and BT200 today too. I got he ...000A a week trim piece last week and that looked lik eth eright one but it is at home and the radio is here with me at work. My PAC kit hasn't shown yet so I a torn on whether to start the install yet or not. I wanted to surprise my wife with it installed before the 14th.

Cool. Thanks. I will have a look around for your write up.

If the PAC adapter would show up I could start the install. I got the factory wiring harness adapers locally so I am ready when the PAC gets here. I ending up buying the 5120 from Amazon when it had come back down to $529 but Sunday it was at $489 so I sent an email and they are crediting back $40 so I am coming out at $670 total for the DNX5120, BT200 Bluetooth kit, PAC steering wheel kit, wiring kit, and factory double-din dash panel.

I found that the only way to go is the OEM double din surround. The third party/aftermarket stuff is junk.

ok i want to buy this but i cant find it anywhere, what website did you buy it from?

[Mattv609]

ye, where did you order the OEM Doulbe Din from.. cant find it, or if any1 else knows... thankss

[ja105ny]

yea...i wanna get this kit...my setup looks the same...it will fit for a f90bt right?

[brazos609]

Any Nissan dealer can get it. Mine was $21 at the dealer. It is actually from a non-nav Altima, not the Coupe, but the fit is perfect.

[ja105ny]

do you know what that part number is? my parts department at the dealership is full of retarded people. i might just order it online if i can...anyone know where to? ive seen links to nissanparts but am not sure if its w/ nav or w/o nav

ordered it...i just got the pioneer installed...how easy will it be to swap these out?

[ja105ny]

how long does nissanparts take to deliver? i ordered it on the 13th... i checked on order status and its still processing

[DMNCHLD]

that looks nice! i have the DNX 5120 in my car

Very easy, took me about 5 mins.

Also, the 2 volt vs. 5 volt preamp out outputs are extremely important if you plan on adding an amp at any point.

So i got 5120 and getting an amp is in the works (together with new speakers and another amp for the sub) What specs in amp should i be looking at concidering unit is 2 volts (whatever that means)?

I have a 2007 Nissan Altima with the manual climate controls, as seen in your pic. I just bought a 7" in-dash navigation screen and wanted my dash kit to match the rest of my dash. It looks like from the picture that you have the piece that I need. I was curious where you were able to buy that piece? Thanks

[drsaltima]

do you still need to buy a mounting kit in addition to the oem double din piece? thanks

[brazos609]

No, remove the brackets from the factory radio and trim piece and use them on the new trim piece and radio. You also have to move the AC controls over.

[drsaltima]

thanks for the help

I've just posted this same question on another thread. Has anyone tried using a dremel to merge the OEM double din opening (top) with the Auto climate control opening (bottom). The only other option is to get the OEM dash for the factory Nav which has a 1/4" space on either side which doesn't look as good. I'm going to give it a try but I'd love to hear if its been previously attempted.

Wow!...Hey looking beautiful.. nice one...
