Hi Skliner's,

looking for some expertise/previous experience here.

I'm finally going from the standard radio/cassette double din unit to the same unit but with a front load cd player/cassette/radio.

Pictures supplied below of CD unit I want and my current radio.

(I must keep the interior of my car stock...just my preference!!)

Are they fully compatible as far as plug connections? Simply put, can I just plug and pray?

I've had the unit out for some unsuccessful servicing, and from the pics that I've seen from the rear of the cd version head unit, the inputs/outputs on both plugs appear the same (?)

I thank you in advance!!

Virtually all JDM Nissan's use the same head unit connectors, the only difference is that the connectors used changed sometime in 1994 (see here for pics: http://www.installdr.com/Harnesses/Nissan-Wiring.pdf). So if the new head unit is from a post 1994 Nissan (looks like it is!) then you won't have a problem.

YOU ARE 5UCKING ACE!!!! :wassup:

That diagram is too good to be true!

Thankyou!! :)

for yours (as stated) its a drop in!. unbolt yours and plug it in. if that is a patrol one you are laughing. ( if you can find the CDstacker cable you are better off again!>)

come to think of it . hit a fw 4wd wreckers and grab the unit out of a 2001 RX patrol. theya are about $300 from memory. sam think as you have but the FM works properly.

Thanx mate,

question; Patrol, as in big Nissan 4WD thingy??

are their radios actually the same as a Line (95 onwards)??

woah, learn something new everyday!!

ps, do you think the stacker and 'cable' would also be available on these wrecks for that price?

Is that why there are more connections on the back of my radio? (for a stacker?)

thanks again.

yep the current model patrol. haven't chased a stacker cable through one yet so I'm not sure if its integrated into the harness or not. other than that they will plug in and work not sure on the stacker price. most of them didnt have it. the unit is a clarion ( not sure what yours is.)

the one in the pic you showed has steering controls on it and the power / speaker plugs no cd control.

oh....! i am told that even my current tape/radio is cd stacker upgradeable via a harness in the 2 spare sockets in the back of the unit, presently unused.

I've just bought the actual cd player pictured (front CD slot, all else same as mine.)

Chris, What's a 'steering control'??

do you know who makes the one you bought? ( I missed the 8p plug on the left side.)

only people that use that setup are masushita.( panasonic.)

I've had it (current radio) in bits on my kitchen table, got the AM band to work only, couldn't see any particular make. But.......Matsushita is Japan's biggest CD drive manuafacturer (computers and audio), so it probably is!!

You may also notice that there is another round 'mini-din' type plug on the back of the uninstalled radio....wonder what that could be??

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
