What to know about Bose

I find a lot of these posts funny. You CAN remove the factory nav unit and you might be able to do a single din below it while keeping the NAV screen; however, you would lose the Nav functionality completely as the NAV controller is built into the AC unit. Check my conversion DIY – NAV System Conversion with working rear defrost which allows you to go to a NON-nav setup.

I went with the WorkShop Twelve 10.1 tablet kit, the needed tablet, hid a single DIN head unit vertical behind the tablet, mounted to where the Nav screen use to be, used 20-pin Subaru/Nissan Headunit/Radio Wiring Harness with Steering Wheel Switch wires, a Maestro SW Universal Steering Wheel control interface (so now I can control radio, volume, etc from steering wheel, and in order to keep the factory Bose speakers/amps I used the Scosche SLC4 (if you do NO use this the speakers will transmit static at low to no volume no matter what source you use, if radio is on you would have this low static noise). Oh, and I also needed the aftermarket Nissan antenna adapter.

If you want to do aftermarket amp and speakers just get the PAC LP6-4 Line Output Converter from the aftermarket head unit to your new amp or follow the examples in the post for a non-nav system.

I also plan to run the head until mic to the stock mic spot in the overhead light area which can be found here Aftermarket Bluetooth Mic in Factory Bluetooth Mic Location
