I was reading my owners manual and it says theres this thing i dont understand, page 60 reads

Using the Air conditioner section

Clean Filter (Dealer option)

The air conditioner has a cleaning filter which collects dust and pollen ect.

Refer to the label inside the glove box and read the cautions.

To attach/replace the clean filter contact the nearest nissan dealer

(replace the filter every 2 years or 24,000km)

It has a picture which shows a vent type thing which sits below the rear window demister. Its got like 4 vents.

So me being curious i decided to pull my dash apart in search of this filter so i can replace it. Behind that vent is this thing below, it doesnt look anything like a filter but more like a sensor. It has a plug attached

Anyone know what it is and where my filter is if im supposed to have one.

Sorry about the dodjy photo my camera doesnt take real good close ups

thats your inside air temp sensor, it tells the climate control unit what the temp in the cabin is.

the air con filters are located behind the glove box. from memory, you need to remove the glove box, the piece of plastic trim and steel bracing behind the glove box to get to them. they are fairly easy to get to, someone did post up a little tutorial in the stagea section with pics on how to get to them.

Yeah ive read that but i thought there might of been an additional filter but yes it is a sensor and your cabin temp sensor is on the dash, its that black round thing on the passenger side below the windscreen.

no, the one you pictured, that is mounted behind the small grill cut out bit just under the rear demister switch and syncro button, is the inside air temp sensor. the round one on the passenger side corner below the windscreen is the sunload sensor. it does two things, when you in the sun the a/c will work harder to keep the cabin cool, and tells the 'set and forget' headlights when to turn on/off.

i'm not sure if there are any other filters, the only ones i've found were the pollen filters behind the glove box.

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.

      Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:

      Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
