Question
i have a 2002 maxima gle, it has a built in 6 cd disc changer. i want to install a flip out touch screen navigation that plays cds etc. but want 2 kno if theres a way to make it compatiable so i wouldnt change cd 1 by 1 just kept my collection in.
I think so. Do you have the standard head unit or Bose? If Bose, that is more troublesome.
Go to www.crutchfield.com and work through their "outfit me car" process and it will give you compatible installations and equipment.
I found
http://www.crutchfield.com/S-WaXykn5Swf2/app/car/mycar.aspx
which is for a standard install. In dash navigation systems are listed but they will require replacement of the existing head unit.
I suggest you consult with Ernesto, also an allexperts contributor who knows these systems well. Get a second opinion from him. He is at:
