I was inquiring about this unit with ddpilot - but this nav system is from a 2009 - it has the compact flash card reader in the front - that's one way to tell - and those had lower display resolution than 2010 and up nav units, so I passed... But you got a great deal!

Question: is your climate control plug compatible with this unit? From my research it was different on my 2010 40th that has Bose without navigation.

Thanks for taking on this challenge - a lot of people are interested in this upgrade - it would be great to see your write up if you can get this to work!

Yup, the climate control plug fits like a glove! Also, as I am sure some of you have figured out; nissan shares a similar DVD/nav unit with other models if you search by part number. Before this deal came up, I was tempted to piece it together from pathfinder, g37, and maxima parts since they are significantly cheaper. But, this was a steal at the price I got.

Looks like I will try buying the display harness adapter and see what happens.

Another question: I have a 40th with red stitching on the cover with the vents where the display and nav control buttons sit in. Will the display shroud and nav control button units swap out and fit into your existing cover with the vents, or is that cover with the vents unique to cars with navigation?

It can be swapped. There are 4 silver screws on the back of the console that hold the vents and center nav-control buttons.
