They are super easy to remove. This link will take you The Install Doctor's page for pathfinders. The process is the same for the QX4.

if its the same as my 99 qx4 then theres 2 screws hidden at the bottom of the whole trim piece, then you just rip taht out and 4 screws around the head unit and u all set

I think it's the same as my 01.

1. Pry out the Air Vents.2. Disconnect power cable to clock.3. Remove the 2 screws on the trim right below the vents.4. Pull out the trim piece a little and disconnect climate control, hazard lights, cig lighter and ashtray light connectors and you should be good to remove the whole trim piece.

Good luck!

ive got a double din pioneer....regular style not screen. It was extremely easy to install. the brackets mounted on the stock deck bolt directly to the pioneer and fit PERFECTLY and theres a trim piece for around it, really easy install thanks to pioneer

I know my 01 Qx4 has an "irregular" shape Bose unit in it. I read elsewhere online about people modifying single-din kits to work, so I'm about to attempt the same. I'm not sure if the Pathys are the same or not...
