M35 Head Unit Install/removal

[Philr32]

As above, I was installing a new aftermarket headunit in my PM35 stagea and the ISO harnesses didn't work. Got rid of the harnesses and did it myself, perfect.

Did this morning with ISO harness, worked perfect....

I got the head deck and everything is fine, however, is there something that will convert the factory AUX plug to a normal 3.5mm head phone jack that is commonly used in head decks? The factory Nissan one is quite strange.

Are you referring to the radio antenna plug with 2 prongs? If so then you can buy an adaptor from JBHIFI for around $15

Nope got that. It's what sends sound from the DVD player or the factory screen through the stereo. The factory stereo has a strange plug type outlined in red in this pic

Just checking.... What DVD player are you refering to?

Do you mean the DVD ROM drive for the Japanese sat nav?

Are you talking about the unit in the upper glove compartment? That will not play dvd's, it's only made to read the navigation maps.

You can run an aux cable for the stock screen/stereo via the unit in the rear LH boot trim but I don't know why you'd want to if you are upgrading the stock head unit.

In the upper glove compartment some has installed what looks to be an after market DVD player, the video goes through the pop up screen and the sound goes through the aux input in the rear of the standard head deck. I've got an aftermarket head deck which has only the 3.5mm jack at the front for aux. So basically I want to be able yo convert the standard plug to the new plug. I've tested a DVD in there before I changed head decks and it worked fine

Why not use something like these?

I am sure you could pick them up just about anywhere.

Because it's not RCAs it's a single plug

That may be it, although it looks like mine has more pins.

Is it the socket for the optional MD or CD autochanger?

[stripey]

Initial thought when i first seen it was old commodore 64 cables

Not sure, it comes up on the display as Aux. all it does is send sound to the head deck for the DVD player in the upper console I've attached another couple photos
