What Do Aftermarket Stereo's Look Like In The V35? Do They Use The Same Slots In The Console?

[puddlejumper]

My CD player has jammed, and I also need a band extender for my radio. I've been told I should just replace the stereo system. However, I want the console to remain looking the same. I am unfamiliar with putting new sound systems in a car, and I figure they are all different shapes and sizes, and that my centre console will need to be cut to make it fit, and thus losing the buttons it currently has. Can someone explain to me how it works, or post pictures of your aftermarket stereo so I can see how one would look?

My mate got one of them from Alberts car stereo. Not sure how much but looks pretty decent.

Get the genuine nissan parts if you can, those aftermarket ones aren't much chop. I got one from the states for my V35 and it was around $400 or something like that delivered.

I had already fitted a pair of Alpine amps in place of the std amp, and some decent speakers, which improved the overall sound,

i then picked up a top range Alpine head unit for a very good price, so rather than try and bodge up a single din into the factory

Bose slot,

So i decided to move the DVD/nav unit by elongating the wiring loom, as i wanted to keep the use of the factory screen

for my reversing camera and TV, and fit the HU there, a bit of a mission, but the result is neat and works very well, with far better sound quality as a result.
