stock NAV

[xorcst]

i just have an 08 stock 2.5s sedan.just wonders if it is worth it to get stock NAV put in.??

[marlin29311]

Nope - it will cost you so much more to do so than putting in an aftermarket one, and the aftermarket NAV systems can be more functional - look around at some of the systems that people have.

i am very concerned with the kit that it comes with. just doesn look stock, looks like its been worked on. plus, all the Nav/Bluetooth...is like 1K and some..they aint cheap no more...like the good ol' days, when the most expensive deck in the universe is like 500.

[marlin29311]

What kit are you talking about?

[xorcst]

like the bezels around the deck. its just has no texture, and color does not match and all.

Do you have Automatic Climate Control?

I have th stock nav and I hate it. The only plus side is the Rear view camera but that is like $75 aftermarket so its not worth the $2000 they charge for that tech package. Most places dont come up on the point of interests. I just hate it. If I could take it out and put aftermarket in there then I would. Plus with the aftermarket units you can watch DVD's and can interface with the ipod. I can go on all day about how terrible the stock unit is.

we're happy to hlp, but seriously, please try searching first. the answers to all of your questions can be found by reading through some of the older posts... actually, the answer to your quetions can also be found by reading through the FAQ on the A/V welcome screen.

to quickly answer, you have the 2.5S sedan, which means you don't have automatic climate controls. Since you have the manual climate controls, there is a FACTORY OEM TEXTURE double din opening that they make for folks with aftermarket navigation systems. the FAQ has a link to where you can purchase that unit. It has the exact same texture and color as the normal center console, as would be expected of an OEM piece made by NIssan.

The reason you see folks with the non-OEM piece is because those of us with digital climate controls do not have the option of getting an OEM double din console like you do, thus we have to use either the metra or scosche kits.

Again, I'm not yelling at you, its just that I have answered this question at least 20 times over the last 2 yers, and a simple look through old post via the search button, or a read theough the FAQ section would have answered these same questions

And for the record, you can get a pretty darn good Kenwoo unit with GPS that plays dvd's for about $600 .... and even after adding rear view camera, ipod interface cable, and bluetooth, you may still only be out another couple of hundred dollars. Quality stuff is not cheap.... I don't know what units you were talking about where the most expensive ones were $500, but that is not and never has been the case. Actually, units have gotten cheaper over the last 10 years, not more expensive!

and to throw salt on his wounds... this should've been in the audio / video section

the point that the OP was trying to make is that that kti (METRA) does not match the OEM texture! To the OP, dude, I just gave you the answer, I'm not gonna hold your hand.. go to the FAQ page and find it yourself

[xorcst]

LOL, when to that site, wont give me a picture of it. maybe i'll just call'em

[silentnightz]

Yo rj I was answering his second question about the site not really the texture...Just a sample of the double din look. I read your post you already answered that one so don't flame me dude.

Ya the site he used was pretty good I heard of it from maxima.org forums when I use to be there.I can get a pic of the unit in the maxima I see my friend at work tomorrow if you want.

[xorcst]

yeah man, post it up. i wanna check it out.i am sooooo picky when it comes to decks and bezels.LOL

[headhunt3r]

@silentnightz: I don't think Doc is referring to you in his post, he's merely saying that the OP needs to go to the FAQ himself to find the answer he's looking for. It's not that hard!

PS: I used to be part of Maxima.org as well... I miss that car

@OP: If you're lazy then I hate to say it but don't expect others to be spoon feeding you information. This is not a daycare. The information is all here for you to find, and it's not hard when the answer is in the FAQ.

[rjdmmfl1]

LOL, when to that site, wont give me a picture of it. maybe i'll just call'em

i understand you're new here, but dude, you could call Nissan, Best Buy, and crutchfield and they couldn't give you half of the info that's available on this site.. I showed you where to purchase the item

here's what it looks like... http://forums.altimas.org/zero...coupe

seriously, next time just search a bit... as mentioned, no one's gonna walk you around the site to get answers...

[xorcst]

thanks for all the bashing...LOLi'm just kidding/playing around. i'll have to dig deeper into this. i'll see whats up.

[silentnightz]

I was waiting for James to bring his car in and someone broke into his car... But ya here's a pic





sorry for the delay been busy. Also I didn't want to show it like that... Long story short his viper alarm didn't go off and they couldn't remove the kenwood lol but took his ipod.
