I had to point out that thats one of the newest guys to get the factory ipod cable installed, and would be a source of good info (or atleast a start)

OP its no problem, but when someone has a short attention span (phenom etc) they wont be able to read thru the whole text~!

[nyykid725]

yeh i know its my bad

[hungs]

ah ok i'm also interested in the ipod integration as well. i'll give him a shout. hopefully it wont break the bank. i saw a post a while back that the cable for it was $200 bucks!!

[nyykid725]

yeh thats wat i mean its expensive
i wanted to know if there are any cheaper ones
or if there are any deals on them
cuz im not gonna pay $200 for that
lol

[LongBeachCoupe]

Yes its expensive, no there is no cheap way of doing it that i know of.

hey that's me!

iirc it was like 100-200 or something, easy install and very good quality

If you're keeping factory radio it's worth it; only complaint is that cant change songs on ipod with factory steering wheel controls.

For aftermarket stereos the hookups are like 50-100 I think, so yeah it's more but it works beautifully and you could probably find one on courtesyparts.com for less then I paid.

[hungs]

your still able to change songs on the factory stereo itself then right?

[lavon_andy]

yep

it has features to switch between playlists, search for songs, genres, artists, turn on random repeat etc.

If you have 40 gigs of music like me though searching for an artist takes a while (like 2 minutes to get to the middle of the alphabet of artists for me)

searching for a particular song you might as well take the ipod out and find it then plug back in (unless you have only like 100 songs lol)

[dldjros69]

So what is the cord and how do i install it?

[lavon_andy]

It's a bit more than a cord; it's some kind of control module thingus with a cord that attaches to the back of your stereo. Basically you take your dash apart, drill a hole in your glove box for the cord to run through, mount the module somewhere and plug it in.

At some point the battery gets disconnected and reconnected as well. lol

Hardest part for me was finding a drill bit and figuring out my dash

if you really need help I could give a bit better explanation

[dldjros69]

How bout a link to the part? i can go from there. Thank you

or you can try searching on www.courtesyparts.com

[lavon_andy]

I just got mine through the dealership

http://www.nissanusa.com/altimacoupe/accessories.html

website price is quoted, might contact courtesy parts to see if they can offer it for that see the website above is 30 bucks more

idk how to find it on courtesy parts since it's not listed under accessories and it's not a factory item usually

edit: interface harness needs to come with the cable, read notes

i can change songs/playlists with the steering wheel controls its cool, definitely useful in eliminating cd's also has the option to use the ipod as well change songs playlists from there if you wanted, i drilled a hole in my center console next to my cell phone charger & installed my ipod in the arm rest slot

did you have factory steering wheel controls already?

[mmx23z]

did you have factory steering wheel controls already?

yea I did

[lavon_andy]

might be partly the reason they still work then

which stereo do you have? Nav or non nav?

I have the non nav.

*edit just visited ur thread lbc posted...

thats weird that ur controls wouldn't work just cuz they didn't come with the car from the factory.

[lavon_andy]

idunno

they work for everything but the ipod; you've got a dif cord so that might be it
