| jerseyparts |
Purchase the Ipod with Sat Kit, and the XM Sat Kit listed on our website, you also get free activation and 3 months free of XM!

Unfortunately, I do not know what Nissan's plans will be, I am sure they will be coming up with something for the 2007 Model Year. |

Does anyone know who I/we can contact at Nissan USA regarding the availability of an "official" iPod interface for the Murano? A phone number and/or email addess would be great.
As most of us know, more Muranos are sold each month than any other SUV in their product line! More Muranos than either Xterra's, Pathfinders, Frontieras, etc. (Please correct me if I am wrong. I got this information from other threads on this web site)
Thanks for any suggestions you might have!

Hello Brian:
I saw that you do not ship to Canada.
Will you change this soon?
I'd like to buy the kit for the 2006 Murano w/o SAT. |

WE usually ship outside the US on a Case by Case basis, our Processing company is setting up for international orders, so we should be ready soon!
Email me your info and I will let you know. |

how much does the ipod integration cost overall (with the discount code) from your site...
thanks. |

It looks like changing the display of ID3 is accomplished by pressing the tuner knob while a track is playing. For me this shows the artist and track title in the lower part of the diplay and the track number in the larger upper part. Pressing the tuner knob again scrolls through the audio funnctions which includes standard diplay (channel number, artist, title, etc.)
Also Podcasts can be played by selecting podcasts from the genre list. |

2006 Nissan Murano. No SAT installed.
Interface works. My Ipod Nano is located on the floor underneath the rear seat on the drivers side. Even when I fold down the rear seat there is enough space between the ipod and the seat.
Question 1: Why do I need the harness in the first place? Why don't I just plug the cable directly in the iPod interface?
Is it important to ground the harness? (harness comes with a ground connection).
Question 2: Steering wheel Up/Down button selects Playlist/Artist/Song... same as CAT/Folder button on Radio but does not allow selection for me. I cant switch to the next/previous song. |
|
|
| hawk1 |
| keep the up/down button pressed for more than 1 sec.. you would hear a beep and it would skip to next (previous) song |
|
|
| bmw911driver |
Not for me. Do you have a 2006 Murano?
If I press for longer than a second it has the same function as the Folder/CAT button on the radio, no changing of songs unfortunately.
> Brian from Yournissanparts.com. Is this the behaviour of all 2006 Muranos or is it just mine? |
|
|
| hawk1 |
| oh sorry..mine is a 05 MO |
|
|
| aspendog |
mine is the same as yours, I can't get "podcasts" to come up in genres like a poster said. I wonder if he ment it would only play the audio anyways. It would be awesome to have video capabilities...

Yours is also 2006 right?
No Podcasts on my 2006 as well.
I see the podcast content in the category "Last Added" and play them that way.
As for the Up/Down button not beeing able to go to the next track: I think this is a pain! |
|

| Sharlin |
OK.
One more question (got confused at the nissanparts site)
for my 05 murano do I buy the with or without satellite version of the "titan ipod interface)? I do not have satellite installed but after reading here I can't tell if that means pre-wired or not. |
|
|
| rixmo |
| You have an 05, so you need the Xterra kit. You don't have sat installed, so you buy the "with out sat" kit. All muranos are prewired. The harness is behind the rear seat. Only 06's need the Titan kit. |

Okay guys, here's something that has worked for me as far as Podcast selection goes:
I have access to my iPod clickwheel because I did a Pacific Audio install before the factory module was available. Also, it is actually easier/more convenient for me to reach the clickwheel rather than the Bose radio selection/cat keys. In any case, this is what I did for easy 2-click access to my podcasts. This should work for other configurations with factory iPod interface, etc:
I created a playlist called 0-Podcasts. This means that my first playlist will be 0-Podcasts. I copy my podcasts to this playlist (which takes about 2 sec.).
This way, during use, I click on Playlists, then 0-Podcasts, and I'm off and running. Also, a nice feature of our wonderful iPods is that if you go to another podcast and return later to a previous podcast, the iPod will play from where you left off rather than starting over at the beginning of the selected podcast. Nice feature as would be expected from Apple.
Hope the above is helpful.

Ok Guys we have an UPDATE, on the 2006 Models, you can use the steering wheel controls for VOLUME only.
This is the same with the Titan, if you have SAT you will know wat I mean when I say, you can not change the SAT channel with steering wheel controls on the 06's either, it automatically goes to groups. This is a Nissan thing, I have not heard anything on this changing.
I am sorry if I mislead anyone. Unfortunately I found these things out with info from you guys!! |

Just a note that I bought the 06 iPod kit and everything works... for the most part.
If anyone is still in the dark, I have an 06 Murano, and the kit has three major parts:
1. wiring interface between the sat connector and the iPod interface
2. the iPod interface itself... about the size of a deck of cards
3. wiring interface between the iPod interface and the iPod.
There is no "wrong way" to connect this stuff... all of the connectors only connect in one way to one set of connectors, so it's really hard to mess up. The Sat connecto-to-iPod-interface is big and bulky, but here again, there is only ONE WAY to connect it, you can't go wrong.
For me, I was able to just put the interface underneath the driver side rear seat. There was plenty of cable to connect to the sat connector(as a note.. while I'm sure there is a way to disconnect this, its' HARD... so once you make this connection, consider it forever... not exactly true... but it was tough)
With the interface under the seat, I was able to run the iPod connector cable under the back floor mat, underneath the front seat, and the wire was long enough to connect to the iPod and have it sit in the well in front of the stick shift.
Keep in mind your iPod doesn't like heat. My Murano is parked outside all day, so when I leave the car for a long time I take my iPod with me, so having it in a place I can easily access from the drivers seat is a big plus.
As has been posted, the steering wheel won't control much... just volume. And if anyone doesn't know, you, once you connect your iPod, it's controls are rendered useless, so there is no finding/searching/playing from the iPod itself.
While the built in radio controls DO work, I find them very confusing at times... so if your planning on looking for every song you want to hear, your going to be very disappointed.
I usually load up a play list and let it go.
The other issue is that Random Play is off by default, and every time you turn off the radio, it reverts to the default..
So if your doing a lot of stop and go driving. and I mean stop, and get out of the car for a few minutes, you'll need to re-engage Random Play every-time you start the car.... a nagging issue, but on long trips, not that big of a deal. (Someone has suggested this might be fixed with a future iPod update.. I hope so)
Now past all the BAD STUFF... it sounds GREAT!
I had an FM modulator and wasn't very happy with that, and am much happier with the iPod interface.
For all of you still looking for alternatives, Kensington now makes an FM transmitter that sends song info to the display via RDS.... so you could control your iPod from the iPod itself, but song info would show up via the Murano 06's RDS Display.

As some of you may know, I've have a direct audio connect via an older Pacific Audio Interface (Pac AAI-NIS2). This produces great audio quality, only one cable showing, and I can easily reach the iPod scroll wheel; so, I have access to all iof the iPod's functionality.
The volume is controlled from the steering wheel controls. The only thing missing is a big display. But, I have good eyes, and can see the iPod display when needed. I usually just select playlists; and my first playlist is Podcasts, second and third are songs/albums I like or have recently played or added. So, I really don't need to look closely at the iPod display; I just adjust and click the scroll wheel and occasionally glance at the iPod display.
This works well for me now. I may upgrade to a different interface in the future as available iPods and related technologies and gadgets evolve.
See attached photo of my iPod and Handfree Speakerphone set-up. I have since replaced my Nokia phone with a Motorola RAZR V3m (Verizon Wireless), and the Bluetooth connectivity and sound quality are spectacular; even better than with the Nokia phone. This is unsuual since the Handsfree equipment is a CK-7W Car Kit mfg. by Nokia.
Let me know if you have any questions or other feedback.
Good Luck!

It might be just me but I'm not going to install this Nissan iPod device just to only have volume control active in my steering wheel.
I'll stay with my MP3 discs until Nissan fixes iPod support for the Murano. |

| alanpgh |
fireball:
Interesting comment. Now you know why I am satisfied with my current install. It is not the Nissan factory module, which was not quite available when I did my install earlier this year.
It was lower in cost, I still have a high quality audio input to the Bose Radio, and I have easy access to the iPod's scrollwheel so I have full functionality at my fingertips.
Thanks for your relevant comment!

I love the ipod Interface for the Murano and waited a year for it.
I can't imagine to deal with the Ipod itself while driving.
I like to see nothing but the car, no wires and other after market accessory. I think the car looks much cleaner inside and it was designed to look that way.
Changing a track on the head unit is ok for me.
I see one problem with the ipod in general.
Who really needs that much music :4: |
|
|
| jerseyparts |
Random problem:
if you change your default in your itunes software, you can have random not switch off every time you shut off truck, I will get you some info on this..... |
|
|
| Sharlin |
my only annoyance with the iPod integration, I'm using the xterra non-sat kit with my 05, is that the "channel" button on the steering wheel does not control which track I am listening to.
Instead it switches me from "sat/ipod' to radio!!! |
|
|
| rixmo |
Sharlin, you need to hold the button down or up longer! A quick tap will end up changing you to radio presets. Hold it down and have patience!
Jerseyparts, I would love to know where this default option is! |
|
|
| MoSilver |
| Sharlin, I have an 05 Murano same as you without NAV & SAT. I'm wanting to install the iPod connector as well. I saw you purchased the non-sat kit from yournissanparts. Are you able to change tracks via the radio or steering wheel controls? Also were you able to place the iPod in the glove box or did it have to go under the rear seat? |
|
|
| jerseyparts |
| Guys try programming your 1 2 3 4 5 6 buttons to a song on your Ipod, it will then click between your programmed songs... |
|
|
| rixmo |
| You'll have plenty. Use both harnesses. The people installing them under the front seats are only using the black cable. I'd be worried about traffic in the back seat or a missplaced foot stepping on my expensive tunes box. This weekend, I just relocated mine from the front glove box into the arm rest as it is easier to reach to remove vs. leaning over the passenger seat to pull it out. |

I can change tracks from the stereo. It just takes some getting used to. The steering wheel control works for changing tracks too, provided you hold the button until it decides its in that mode.
I haven't decided where to permanently locate the iPod. Right now its under my driver's seat - I have NOT used their extension cable. The interface box is currently behind the rear seats and the iPod connection cable is run from that.
I plan on using their extension cable and routing the whole thing up into the center console. It does appear there is enough length with both cables to reach the glove box. I haven't tried.
Very easy install. Nice to see track info and such. Since the 05 cannot play MP3 this is a great change. Just wish my iPod would actually sound balance its output!!! Damn thing is set to do that but it doesn't. |

With the info I gathered from here, I was able to get the iPod interface installed in my 2004 FX45. Thanks!

Thank you Tummy, I have added the parts to the website, and I have credited you in the product description.
The RANDOM PROBLEM, ok this is what I got off one of the other boards I am on:
Hmmm default mode. I have noticed that if I set a playlist to be random in iTunes, and others to not be, that when I play the iPod, the ones that randomize in iTunes do the same on the iPod.
Have you tried making the playlist randomize in iTunes before syncing?
Try this and see what you get guys.... |
|
|
| jerseyparts |
Ok You guys are a wealth of information, so mayeb you can help me with something.
I am looking for an extension cable, that the flat rectangle cord that plugs into the bottom of the ipod on these kits.
so it would be male on one end, and a female version on the other, has anyone seen these, or know of a place to purchase these?
obviously they would be used to extend this connection to ?? lenghts dependent on the length of this cable..
if this is confusing, SORRY, sometimes I know what I want, but can not explain it well.....

I know its has been talk a LOT !
but I cant see the harness in the back.
and i dont want somebody to put a link to the othe discussion on the forum.
if I cant find the harness ? where is he ?
and, if i found it someday, what kind of harness do I have to pay to put my IPOD on the SAT button
Tks

| I have a '04 Murano and do not have the SAT installed. I have been waiting for a IPOD kit ever since I got my IPOD. I am very interested in the "ipodwosat" listed on yournissanparts.com. From reading through this thread, it does not appear to difficult to install. However, I am not very handy and was wondering if someone could post the actual installation instructions to this. Thanks. |

I love this site. You guys kick some serious butt!
I finally took the plunge and joined the ipod crowd. :headshake
Using an FM transmitter for the last few weeks has proven to me that I'm too much of a snob to live with that as a permanant solution.
Thanks to all the posts here, I now know what I have to do, how to do it, and how it will work, all without having to do my own research! Woohoo! :D
BUT, there still seems to be one question that I have which hasn't been answered (or at least that I could find):
Since I'll have both XM and the Ipod hooked up, how do I switch between them? For example, if I'm listening to my Ipod and decide to switch over to XM to hear Seattle Traffic or whatever, can it be done? Do I have to disconnect the Ipod? |
|
|
| jerseyparts |
| You just simply Unplug the docking cord on the ipod, and the systems reverts back to Satellite radio. |
|
|
| alanpgh |
Corin:
To Switch between the iPod and XM, just click the Mode Switch on the Steering Wheel or the same function on the radio. The iPod becomes one of the selections, just like XM Radio. (The iPod will substitute for one of the selections.)
Which iPod do you have? |
|
|
| rixmo |
Cope and Elerico,
Harness Location: fold rear seats flat. lift up on cardboard and rubber flaps at base of rear seat. Look for white unused harness in front of Bose amp. On my '05, it was behind the passenger rear seat. I believe if you don't have Bose, the harness is still there (04 and newer).
Installation instructions (03 - 05): plug 05' Xterra IPOD box into unused white plug. Plug black round connector into IPOD box. Plug other end of black connector into IPOD. Zip tie everything in place. Done
Installation instructions (06 - 07): plug 06' Titan IPOD box into unused white plug. Plug black round connector into IPOD box. Plug other end of black connector into IPOD. Zip tie everything in place. Done
Oh yea, don't forget to fold your seats back up!:2:
You can store your IPOD in the rear cargo tray or use the extra harness included to run your connection up to the arm rest or glove box. Everything only fits in one way so you can't screw this up.
Note: if you screw this up, please turn in your car keys as you shouldn't be allowed to operate this fine piece of machinery!:D
Corin, you question was aswered by Jerseyparts. |

Corin:
Since you have an iPod with an FM Transmitter, you might want to do a simple install for about $100. and still have access to your iPod clickwheel directly.
Here's a repost from earlier this year: (Also includes a nice Handsfree setup that works very well.)
(There is probably a new version of the PAC AAI-NIS2 module mentioned below unless PAC still makes it or you can find it at a very good price on Ebay.)
Repost of earlier message follows:

Hey all
just to clarify the integrated use of factory stereo options for an ipod and a MO 06 w/o nav w/bose
looks like its either:
1. Nissan Titan kit which displays songs but you can't use steering wheel controls for songs
or
2. The Ion which lets you use the steering wheel controls but doesn't display any info
Is that it?
Ack - i wonder if nissan will come out with an ipod adapter for murano 06s & earlier at all - because their stereo design is said to be changing for 07 (no tape player which would seem to mean a different configuration of the head unit)
so close to what id pay good money for - I really dont feel it should be upwards of $200 for a half functioning harness - nissan has to know they are missing out on the peripheral market for MOs
Any thoughts? |
|
|
| alanpgh |
Murano Bliss:
I think the problem you briought up has been solved in some previous posts. Something to do with holding down one of the steering wheel radio controls.
One of the experts on this is rixmo. You may want to search for his posts or send him a private message. I recently saw his set-up (we live in the same area), and it is quite spectacular. He has installed the Nissan factory iPod module for one of the other Nissan (non-Murano) models. But, even better, he seems to have gone through many of the PAC audio, and perhaps other, aftermarket systems. So, he is very knowledgable on how to proceed at this point in time.
Perhaps he will see this post and respond, or you can send him a PM.
rixomo is very knowledgeable about options for integrating your iPod into the MO. Others in this forum are also quite knowledgeable. Also, I understand that jerseyparts has been very responsive to everyone as he supplies the Nissan factory iPod interfaces at very competitive prices through www.yournissanparts.com.
Good Luck!

Thanks Alan!
I've been checking out their posts too. I think the steering wheel toggle only works on the exterra 05 combo and not on the titan 06 combo - which is weird.
I will definitely have to ask rixmo a few ?s
Thanks for your help!

Good Luck Keith. Let us know what you learn and how things work out for you. Your experience will help all of us as we unravel the mysteries of the Murano.

| rixmo |
Alan, you're making me blush! :D
Keith, I can confirm that on the '05 (and older), you can change tracks with the Xterra harness using the steering wheel buttons. I'm not sure of the Titan package. The plugs are all the same, but the little grey box is different. I believe that when people put the Xterra harness in the '06 was when they had problems with changing tracks. There are some board members who have purchased the Titan harness and are very satisfied. Hopefully they will pipe in here.
It's funny how spoiled we are in our Murano's! I was driving my other car and my kids asked, "Dad, how come you have to use the radio buttons so much?" |
|
|
| Murano Bliss |
Thanks for the info Rixmo - really appreciate all of your posts!
Ha - It's true about being spoiled - the Murano is such a great vehicle - its easy to want the best of everything with it.
However the controls work out, I can't wait to have all of my songs always along for the ride! |

Hmmm - Do you think the 07 adapter will work on previous models? I hear the head unit will be different with no cass? Thoughts anyone? |

Darn good question. If Nissan follows the way of the domestic cars - the input will be in the face of the head unit.
Is the input on the 07 Nissan products out now in the head unit or an aux input? |

Yes, I have the FM transmitter, and wasn't going to bother with doing full integration, but 2 things are making me want to go all out:
1) Want to leave the ipod in the center console, out of site, which is irritating to operate (open console, grab ipod to change things, put back and close console)
2) The FM transmitter is not working out as nicely as I had hoped. I still get a fair amount of static driving around Seattle (comes and goes, random locations). There are only a few frequencies that don't have stations, and I think that too many people have FM transmitters in their cars now and that's causing me the static. Wasn't bad at the beginning, but it's starting to annoy me now. |

Here's what I ordered earlier this year:
PAC-Audio adapter: $99.95:
http://www.logjamelectronics.com/pacaainis.html
There may be new models: Check Pacific Audio at www.pac-audio.com.
Blitzsafe Adapter to Charge the iPod: $59.95:
http://www.logjamelectronics.com/blitzuii.html
Proclip Mounting Bracket: Approx. $30.00 for specific iPod/Auto Model. Link:
www.proclipusa.com
I have attached a picture of my install from around April of 2006. As I mentioned, model numbers may have changed.
The things I like about this set-up is:
- I have direct access to the iPod mini scrollwheel. Within easy reach for full scrollwheel intuitive functionality.
- Direct audio input to Bose radio. Great sound. I would never go back to an FM transmitter.
- Volume controlled from the Steering Wheel audio controls.
- The iPod is easy to grab from the swiveling Proclip mounting to take into the house for podcast updates and syncing in general.
- Clean install with only one connection through the standard iPod connector for audio and charging.
You can even add an Airclick RF remote that can be strapped to the steering wheel. I did this, but it is not really necessary.
You should go with a direct connection to your radio for better audio fidelity, not an FM transmitter. But the choice of whether you want to store the iPod in the center console and controlled from the radio; or if you want to be able to control the iPod scrollwheel directly with all of the nice iPod intuitive functionality. Either approach is fine, but all of this depends on your personal preference.
Let us know if you have any other questions or suggestions. And, let us know how you decide to proceed. Our collective experience will help everyone.
Good Luck!

I have successfully installed the XM box from Grubbs. I love operating the XM from my steering wheel rather than from the AudioVox XM receiver velco-attached to my dash. And the sound is far superior to the FM connection. Absolutely worth the $199.
I was surprised that they sold me an N-bus jumper harness, which the salesman said I needed even though my '96 MO is satellite wired. The harness seems redundant and I have not used it. Am I missing something or should I return it?
Now I want to add my iPod for automatic use as well. Is there another connector harness needed? Can I attach it simultaneously with the XM box? Where does that iPod harness hook in? Does that harness reach into the center console and is it hard to get it there without an installer? Where can I find out what functionality will be available on the display screen and steering wheel?
Sorry if this is in an old post, as I have read through a few dozen and I must be missing the clear installation instructions. By the way, no instal instructions with the MO (Nissan) XM kit. Nothing at all. Got them off this board. Thanks. |

Who is Grubbs? Is this the Nissan iPod interface for an '06 MO with Sat? Or, is it another unit?
Thanks,

Kitesurf,
Despite the name of the page being 2007 Murano specs... they haven't updated any of the graphics or anything else, so I'm not certain that its the true 2007 details. Can anyone confirm this? I expected to see the Bluetooth stuff and at least a mention of the ipod interface on the specs page. My guess is they just renamed the old 2006 page but haven't updated it yet.
later,
jeff

The Grubbs web site is interesting.
From your message, I found this link:
http://www.grubbsperformance.com/Me...ode=MuranoAudio
The AAI-NIS2 interface shown is the one I bought earlier this year to interface to my iPod mini. I paid about $99. for this unit. Don't know why Grubbs charges $148. This must be an installed price (??).
I had to add a Blitzsafe unit (for about $79.) to charge the iPod, and I spent about $30.00 for a mounting bracket from Proclipusa.com. I am very happy with this as I have direct access to my iPod scroll wheel, so I get full functionality. This was before the Nissan factory unit was available, but I am very pleased with this direct access to my iPod. I have attached a photo of this set-up. (The iPod-mini is on the right, and my Handsfree Speakerphone set-up is on the left.)
Good Luck!

The ball has been dropped, and has rolled very far away. |

Here's a post from another section that might be helpful here:
Updated "iPod Your Car Section" on Apple's Web Site
The updated version of Apple's web site has some new information about how to "iPod Your Car." See link below:
http://www.apple.com/ipod/carintegration.html
The aftermarket product links are especially interesting. I use some of the PAC and Blitzsafe products, but there are so many interesting links on the updated Apple Web Site.
Any comments are appreciated.

| Just so you guys know, www.nissansattuner.com is ours as well, we are going to keep the Sat stuff and Ipod stuff on one website, so it will be easier to update as new stuff comes out. |

| One photo with song title coming right up! The discount code I know is for YourNissanParts.com. JerseyParts also stated that his company is also behind the nissansattuner.com site. |
|
|
| jctlmm |
| Thanks for the photo, but do you have one for the '04 or older? |
|
|
| alanpgh |
I think Rixmo has an '05 MO. I saw it, and it is a beauty!

Hi,
I'm thinking of installing the ipod adaptor in my '03 Murano, but I don't want to stay locked into ipods. Currently my wife has one, so that's why I'm going for the ipod adaptor instead of the PAC aux input adaptor, but I also want line-in.
So, can anyone tell me if you can use the ipod adaptor as a regular aux input adaptor to route sound from a *gasp* non-ipod MP3 player? |
|
|
| rixmo |
| Nope. It only works with IPODs. If you want generic RCA (Red and Black) connectors, then you need to go with the PAC adapter. |
|
|
| jctlmm |
Ok. If I need these two parts for my '04 MO:
1) 999U7-VR000
2) 999U7-VS000
Which item do I have to buy at http://www.yournissanparts.com?
1) ipodwithsatellite Price: $224.99
2) ipodwosat Price: $193.00
Thanks! |
|

| That depends on if you ever want to hook up Satelite radio. If you don't have XM or Sirius, then go with the "with out sat" option. That's what I did. I figure the money I'm saving on monthly subscriptions goes toward my iTunes account for new songs that I own! |
|
|
| jctlmm |
That's all I needed to know. I don't have plans to install SAT.
Thanks! |
|

| jctlmm |
Ok, here is my overall experience:
1) I own a '04 SL Murano:
- The radio has the SAT button
- I don't have any satellite radio installed, and I don't have plans to do so in the future
2) I bought the "ipodwosat" (Price: $193.00) from http://www.yournissanparts.com, that includes:
- 999U7-VR000: iPod adapter + iPod cable + extras
- 999U7-VS000: Harness
- I used the code CLBTTN during checkout (10% discount) + S&H
3) The installation is really straight forward (doesn't take more than 15 min if you know were all the connections are):
- You need to install the iPod adapter to the sat connection that is behind the spare tire under the rubber flap
- Hook the iPod cable to the iPod adapter and fish it thru the dirver's back seat (that's the closest you will get)
4) Use it and enjoy it.
Notes:
1) I never used the Harness (999U7-VS000) during the installation. It's not needed and it's $28. So check that your MO has the SAT harness already installed and you'll be ready to go
2) If you use the steering wheel to change to the previous/next song make sure that you hold the button until the radio beeps and changes the song
3) The display doesn't display the playback time and it is limited to 14 character for both artist and song title |

| Glad it worked out for you. If you use the $28 harness, you can make your IPOD reach the center console or the glove box. But you're right, it's not necessary. |
|
|
| jctlmm |
Yes, I'm interested on using the Harness... When I installed the iPod adapter, I didn't know how to use or where to hook it. That's the reason I said it was useless. So, could you please provide some instructions?
Thanks! |
|

| rixmo |
| Think of the $28 harness as an extension cord. Instead of plugging the existing murano sat harness into the ipod converter box, plug one end of the $28 harness into the sat harness and then run it under the carpet/door jams to the passenger front seat. There's a lot of room under the plastic door trim to run all kinds of wires and it's where the factory runss wires from front to rear. I cut a hole in the carpet under the front seat and pulled the $28 harness out and plugged the converter box in there. I then was able to run the black IPOD cable into the console and now have secure/lockable/easy to reach storage of my ipod. |

I'd like to buy a used iPod for my '03 Murano and leave it in the back with the adapter. (They come especially cheap if they have battery problems, a non-issue in this case.) In this application, what do I need besides the 999U7-VR000 adapter?
It appears from the discussion here that the 999U7-VS000 harness would be useful only to extend the iPod to the console or glove box, which I am not interested in.
nissansattuner.com mentions an additional B8377-5W900 harness that apparently is included with '04s and up. Would I need one?
Thanks. |

Those of you NOT using VS000 this Harness has a Ground Wire on it for a Reason, when Apple and Nissan designed this, they wanted to make sure no damage could occur to the Ipods, so Apple has Nissan put this additional ground on the harness to ensure no wayward shorts would hit the Ipod, I HIGHLY reccomend that use the VS000 Harness, to ensure your Ipod is safe.
With that being said I am Happy to Introduce a NEW Cable for all you Murano owners,
The VS000EXT cable is now available and this is the cable that connects from the SAT Harness to the IPOD Adapter, the Original NISSAN Cable was 6 Foot in legth, this new cable is a little over 15 foot in length, so you can now make it to the fornt of the vehicle with the harness, attach the Ipod adapter unde rthe dash, and run the DIM cord to the Glove Box, or to an On Dash Ipod Holder.
This is a Customized Genuine Nissan Cable, I had it made just for you Murano and Infiniti guys, so this will onlybe available at our www.nissanipod.com site (www.nissansattuner.com)
This cable will run 69.99 plus shipping.
A new cable is also in the works for the Guys with Satellite, so you will be able to run the cable to the front, and then back again to the sat receiver.

The 03 Murano was not SAT Ready, the B8377 Cable is the SAT ready cable, and is required on all 03 Muranos.
The VS000 cable is also an extra ground to ensure no damage can be done to the IPOD, so you might want to reconsider than one...
after that all you need is the 999u7-vr000

Hello Brian from jerseyparts:
I bought the ipod kit without SAT for my 2006 Murano from you a while ago and I'm really happy with it. I use it with the new improved 5G 30G iPOD.
I have one question:
I tried everything but I can't get more than approx 900 tunes in one playlist.
I tried all my 5000 songs but it kept going back to song 1 after song 938 or so. The manual tells you that it should go to song 1000,2000 and so on.
I know that the display only displays 3 digits but it should still play all the songs in a playlist, shouldn't it?
Is this a 2006 specific issue? |
|
|
| jerseyparts |
Thats a GREAT question, but unfortunately I do not have an answer for you, I am working off an older Ipod so I will have to upgrade to a larger one to see if this is a running issue, I am hoping someone here can chime in with a better answer, because I feel terrible that I don't have one...
Anyone out there running a 30 Gig Ipod on their 2005 or 2004 Murano? do you have the same problems?
I do know that there is a New firmware out there, that is messing with the Nissan Links, and that if you upgrade, and the vehicle does not recognize the Ipod, you need to roll back the software.. that I do know is a problem that Apple is working on....
Sorry, I wish I had a better answer for you.....
Brian |
