Thank You for your help.

Hey guys i just join the site so im a new to the whole nissan altima family, now next week ill be installing a pioneer double din D3 in the altima but i cant seem to find any dash kit that will keep the same texture of the car, im tryign to order the part but i dont knwo which one it is since i have the climate control, i have an 08 altima SL, and also would i need different brackets? im really clueless of what i need to get for the car.

Im really not looking forward to install the double din with a plain black kit

please help

Not sure about the Sedan but I imagine its the same deal. Auto climate control must use an aftermarket kit (plain black), or do some fab to the OEM part listed above which will ultimately make it look un-OEM.

The part listed above is for the Coupe, just search that site for the corresponding sedan part and see what they have.

Thanks to all for posting the part number. Fortunately I have a 2010 coupe with the manual climate controls, so the OEM replacement lid was a perfect fit. I do have one of the OEM Bose lids FS... - my bad, I ordered the "02" part number instead of the "00"...

Does anyone have pictures of how to use the OEM brackets to mount them to the Avic Z112BT (or any double din unit)?

I have not pulled it apart yet, so i may be pretty self explanatory when I do that later this week.

It will be self explanatory once you pull it apart and get your hands on it, you just swap it out from the original to the...original.

if you can put the triangle block in the triangle hole, you will have enough brain power to swap the panels.

Ya, its the circle blocks you gotta look out for.... cost me 2 years in preschool...

Just wanted add confirmation that this part (68260-ja00a) also works for the 2010 Altima 2.5S Sedan with standard radio. I installed a Pioneer AVIC-X920BT and the fit was nearly perfect. I ended up with just about a 1/16" blank space along the top edge - I just added some rubber weather stripping behind the gap (stuck to top of radio) and it looks perfect now. I purchased the cluster lid at www.conquestauto.com even though it says its for 2006-2008 it works fine as long as you have the manual climate control.

NiAltD could you post some pics please.

Hello,I'm also new to this forum and would like to install new rims and headunit (avh-p4300 dvd) before school starts, Aug 17th. But I wish to keep the textured design on my dashkit. However, when I click on the links to view the parts you post about, It says it has expired.. Help plz?!

Hi,

Thank you in advance for any help with this:

I'm looking to replace Altima 2012 S non-Bose stereo with an aftermarket double-DIN head unit. This trim level has manual AC controls.

Does anyone know if the noted here Nissan Panel (68260-JA00A) fits 2012 model and matches the dark gray, carbon fiber looking finish?

Is there a good place to buy this part?

Thank you!

Did you try checking METRA?

Yes, I did, Metra kit finish doesn't match the rest of the car. It looks cheap.

Just got 68260-JA00A. It looks good and matches 2012 Altima sedan. The only issue is that Pioneer AVH-X2600BT double-DIN unit has square corners, while the panel has rounded corners. The is also an 1/8" gap all the way around, not terrible, but doesn't quite look like they were made for each other.

Does anyone know of good options (ABS plastic or weatherstripping) to fill this gap with?

Thank you.
