Looking to get an Altima Coupe, have a ?

[Viper5000]

Hey guys, have been looking around for a while. I have definitely got my mind set on getting an 09 Altima Coupe 3.5SE w/6mt Black on Black, with Premium, and possibly Navi.

I would just like some clarification on a few things: I am pretty sure I gathered that if you put an aftermarket deck in, you loose bluetooth, correct?

I do not like where the aux input is for the normal Bose deck, if you get Navi on top of that, where does the Aux connector move to?

Hmmmmm, I just realized that you cannot add Navi If you want manual.

y not?

oh well 6mt ftw

If you are looking for an aftermarket deck, I would suggest skipping on the navi package and replacing the stock deck with an in-dash Navi system, such as the Pioneer AVIC-F900BT, among others.

Perform a search and you'll find that these types of aftermarket stereos provide everything the stock Navi system provides plus a whole lot more. Many of them have an IPod jack on their face, bluetooth and the touch screen will be your navigation system, so it will pretty much meet all of your needs.

I was just trying to add Navi on the Nissan site, and if you try to add it it tells you, you have to get CVT......... it probably has something to do with the backup camera

Get the 6 speed and don't get the Nav. Aftermarket is so much better. You get alot more features for cheaper. I like the nav but wish I had gone after market from the start. If you want to upgrade the sound system and put a sub in there, dont get the bose. You will just end up replacing it anyways.

I have nav and a 6mt lol

Yeah, I want manual for sure. I will be getting the Bose anyways because I want everything else that comes with the premium package. I already have an aftermarket system in my current car, so I was hoping to just transplant.... but then I heard that by doing that, you cant use the bluetooth, so that either leaves me with the option of just adding my amp/speakers, and leaving the stock deck, or getting a new deck that has bluetooth........ hmmmm, I wonder if the bluetooth for aftermarket works/sounds better than stock?

[Infantry1327]

I would say aftermarket would work better. The bose bluetooth sucks. Some phones it likes and will do ok, but most phones it sounds like crap.

Aftermarket should work at least equally well for bluetooth. I would highly recommend going this route! I've got a 3.5 with a 6MT and have aftermarket Nav in dash with a rear view camera. Still working on the bluetooth since I'm trying to find a way to use the stock mic (it's not quite as easy as one might think). If you're even debating getting navigation, do yourself a huge favor and strongly consider saving that $2000 and investing it in an aftermarket deck.

FWIW, some on here love their OEM navigation. There are a number of features I've gotten by going aftermarket that I cannot live without (the ability to fine tune my system being one, but DVDs-iPod connectivity-rear view camera while driving forward-etc).

One more note, if you're planning on replacing the stock deck, you should plan on replacing all of the speakers as well. The bose equipment doesn't exactly play well with aftermarket components. Swapping out one item in the system requires a lot of tuning to make everything sound decent again. Come check out the A/V section for more input!

Um, I have 3.5 6MT and stock Nav System...maybe its a 2009 thing? Only option I didn;t get is the Ghey Moon roof deflector.
