Will a Double Dinn deck fit it my 01 QX4

[Empty V]

I'm thinking about putting a navigation system in my 01 QX4. When I put my current stereo in, pics to come soon, they told me that only a single dinn would fit. Does this sound correct?

Thanks for the help!

type your car info in there, crutchfield is usually a good resource for that kind of info.

I talked with someone in an online chat session from crutchfield and they said that they do not make a trim kit for my car. I'm just curious if it will fir because I can probably make a trim kit myself. Has anyone done this?

Thanks.

The OEM head unit on R50 QX4's is a double din. Any small tweaks will need be done by you if the head unit doesn't fit perfectly.

From all the double din units I've seen installed in the R50's, they all fit really nice or required minimal adjustment.

Well I got it installed and my installer had to use a double din chassis from a pathfinder. I guess the QX4 chassis is only a single din. The double din also doesn't line up correctly so an ABS trim was made and I gotta say, it looks pretty good. Once I get my camera back from repair I'll post the pics.

Not sure what to say, but there's no way the QX4 is a single din.

But the system being Bose, I'm sure it's a non standard shape.

My QX4 definitely has a double din from the factory but ive seen some that might be considered single Picture below Well it looks like a double still but may be they are seperable into single?

yep i had an 1993 acura integra that was the same way, came with a single din tape player and a 2nd piece, the same size as the radio, that was just a cd player. plugged into the cd changer port on the back of the radio and attatched to the radio with the 2 brackets that would have normally attatched the little pocket.

The QX4 is built a little differently from the pathfinder because it has that junk bose system in it. It takes up more room than a double din but the chassis is built for a single din. I think it's the way the bose system mounts. This is what my installer told me when he called Infinity looking for the chassis for my QX4. I had a single din bluetooth stereo put in it a year ago and they didn't have to change anything out as far as the chassis goes. For the new system he had to rip a chassis out of a Pathfinder to get it to work. If you install a single Din radio it's centered with the opening, if you install a double it's all out of whack and need to have a custom trim built, no biggie, it is what it is.

Do you know what parts the installer actually replaced? I've looked at my '01 and I'm unclear on whether your installer just ordered alternate left and right radio brackets or something else. If so, there are a couple of options for those brackets and it's unclear from part listings what's really required. It's one of these two sets:
28038-4W400 (right) and 28039-4W400 (left). These are about $9 each.
28038-4W310 (right) and 28039-4W310 (left). These are $17 and $47 respectively.

I can't really tell what the difference is between the two sets. This information is included in the description at the CourtesyParts website:

Can someone with a '00+ Pathfinder and a double DIN radio post a picture of their brackets and the dash area with the radio removed? I've received a right side 28038-4W310 bracket and it doesn't match the right side on the Q. Trying to figure out what's really going on here.
