hey quick question I have 2012 altima with a aftermarket sound system 2 12s amp head unit door speakers and about 2 months ago everything stopped, I thought the bad wiggles a wire because it played then cut off ect. It finally stopped and I started hitting or tapping the dash and it would play for a few minutes then it absolutely syoooed and my head unit is cracked. My ac contrails still work but I don’t know if it’s a wire or the head unit that’s gone. Now that I cracked the head unit I’m going to get another one installed but was curious as to what the problem could’ve been
I have a Nissan altima S sedan 2011 and I'm interested on replace the stock CD radio, but no audio controls included on the steering wheel, could be a problem please advise. I saw the video great tutorial.
I know this was a long time ago, but did you ever find out the answer? I also do not have steering wheel controls and wondering if I would need the Crux harness
Great video helped me a lot. 1 question the newer units require you to tap the Emergency brake wire. Any advice on accessing this on an 08 Altima with a foot pedal e-brake? I know one of the points is the plug behind the instrument cluster. Very hard to access.
Thanks so much! I just have a quick question regarding the blue wire that's attached to the antenna housing.. what does that get attached to? Thanks for a great video!
If your radio doesn’t have a power antenna output wire, just tie it into the red accessory of the radio. It just amplifies the circuit for the radio for better reception.
How is this with directions? I’m getting one installed in my 2012 Nissan Altima and I’m worried because the screen is somewhat low so I would almost have to look down to see the directions
I just installed an aftermarket radio to my altima 13 and there is no sound. I've seen videos where mention the amp cable not being powered. How can i fix it.
Thank you for the excellent video. I am replacing a factory Bose system, and this video states that the Crux wiring harness adapter will not work but your video of the Crux Harness unboxing says that the harness should work with the Bose system if you use the RCA pre outs. What is the latest and which parts should I buy because the PAC C4RAD is no longer available anywhere? Thank you for your assistance and the awesome video.
i see the ring terminal you have of the ground but it looks like you soldered the ground together when soldering the harnesses. where is that pigtail/ring terminal coming from? the unit-side plug or the car-side (white) plug
I have a 2010 Altima S sedan. It's an old car but I'm still in it all the time. Various parts of the system are starting to go out so I want to replace it. Im going with a 'mech-less ' stereo. Don't need navigation or all the extras. Just a factory compatible system with Bluetooth so I can play from my phone. Crutchfield recommended a JVC KD-X280BT. Can you tell me the additional parts I need for installation? My car does not have navigation & there are steering wheel controls.
My screen works sometimes and sometimes it doesn’t. Recently it’s been not working more than it does. Also the volume fluctuates and the sound quality drops after playing music for a bit. Trying to figure out what to do from here
is it really true I can't just ground my parking brake wire and I really need the bypass relay on a pioneer radio? My radio owner's manual is aggressively telling me to not bypass any parking brake stuff as it could be dangerous and I don't want to be in trouble if I ever resell my car.
YES and NO - On Pioneer, you can just ground it to get access to basic settings on your pioneer, but other settings or video while in motion will require a bypass to get it to work (if you don't hook it up to the actual parking brake ground).
Hey, I did the same set up with same car as yours but when I put car in reverse the camera image has wavy lines in the picture. Do you have this situation?
Nope. You may have a bad connection, bad camera, or a combination of the two. Feel free to send me a message on facebook and we can figure out the issue.
Is it possible to save $60 by not buying the crux thing if I don't care about radio? I don't have volume controls on my model so that also doesn't matter. I'd just be using Bluetooth to the radio, and need the speakers. Long shot, but I figured it's worth asking.
Ive always installed my own head units but my altima i just got has a bose system in it so it has a factory amp. So any head unit i tried to install amplifies the output to send it to the stock amp and its just not working for me. I might try to have someone install it for me
Parts used linked in the description of the video!

Very informative step by step process! 👍
1:55 what are all the other plugs in the radio for?
Mine only uses 2, the main one & the antenna one.

@@cassieanderson9392You know, you don't need it, that kit is more for that, I used it because I had already bought it and I didn't want to return it.
@ thank a lot!

Great informative video! I’m not quite sure of doing all that myself, what’s an approximate cost to have someone do this for me?
Call around to see your local shop price.
Is it necessary to replace the speakers when installing a new head unit in this vehicle?
No but any new speaker will be better then what was installed from the factory

Sounds much better over stock, but you get what you pay for.

I have a 2011 altima coupe, where exactly is the bluetooth by bass location in the trunk??
i’m confused if i need a bluetooth harness? i have a 2012 nissan altima
My screen works sometimes and sometimes it doesn’t. Recently it’s been not working more than it does. Also the volume fluctuates and the sound quality drops after playing music for a bit. Trying to figure out what to do from here
Is there a video link for the hdmi/rca usb flush mount at 11:21?
how much would it cost to have someone do it for me?
prolly like 150
150? Are you sure?
It all depends on where your from
@@uknxlfbgrm4338 yeah I was charged 85$
I installed it for free on my hr lunch break it’s plug and play damn near
Hello can I use this on my Nissan maxima 2013?
what does the crux do? i didn’t see you connect it at the end.
is it really true I can't just ground my parking brake wire and I really need the bypass relay on a pioneer radio?

I'd just be using Bluetooth to the radio, and need the speakers.
Long shot, but I figured it's worth asking.
Without the factory Bose amp or steering wheel volume controls, yes all you need is the basic harness. amzn.to/3t41PTQ
I’m getting the same model radio except I’m getting the one without the cd port will the set up b the same
Did you finish setting yours?

May I know is there any person is there to fit the double din back up camera and dashcam
Hi, Provo Beast I install a radio but the headunit shuts off when i turn it uo to max volume. Can you help me with this?
don’t turn to max volume 💪
What type of glue did you use for the USB mounts?
Great and clearly instructed video.
he just used hot glue. sometimes hot glue can snap apart :/
how many inches is your touch screen stereo bro 😊
Standard double din radio, regardless of screen size. Most double din largest screen is up to 7", and anything bigger is a float mount style.
Can a 7 inch radio work?
did you ever figure this out?
Does anyone know if this head unit is WIRELESS CarPlay and AndroidAuto?
it does yes
How do I connect the factory rear view camera to the radio?
With this harness: amzn.to/40FWxtb
Do you know if 2012 radio fit in 2008 ?
wtf... I can not do this
I'm not an engineer
This is awesome :-)
So with the Bluetooth bypass will that let you still use the Bluetooth button on the steering wheel to accept and hang up calls with Apple CarPlay?
