Nissan iPod integration solutions available later this year.
Why do I have the feeling that they're going to make me trade in my 2003 MO for a 2006 with seemless iPod integration? (I know, I know, wishful thinking..)
Anyone heard anything about this past what's on apple's site?
it's listed under
iPod + iTunes/iPod/Accessories
on their site.. |

tease!!
I'll be watching for this! |

Well, there's no reason someone couldn't do it....
We know the commands for the Murano, we know the commands for the iPod...
http://stud3.tuwien.ac.at/%7Ee00266...pod_ap_new.html
I think this is going to be significant enough that it should be sticky'd.
It's possible for the radio controls and steering wheel controls to control an iPod, as well as have the iPod report back on the integrated display, song, artist and track time information.
The bits are all there, they just need to be assembled. |

This same topic was actually brought up back in Jan when the first announcement came out of MacWorld
http://www.nissanmurano.org/forums/...=&threadid=3591
If it's anything like the BMW integration that they have now, there will be a single connector that provides power to the iPod as well as providing track information on the screen and (hopefully) control of the iPod from the steering wheel. Again, this all assumes that Nissan version works like the BMW version did/does. If we're lucky we'll get a nice interface. I would assume that since this is an official project with Apple that there will be some pretty decent requirements as far as quality is concerned. Apple is fairly protective of their brand.
I'm guessing we might see this sometime this summer although no one at Nissan has been able to give me information on it yet. |

Not yet, but there are companies that have the know how to do it. So we just have to hope that 1) They think the market is big enough to make it worthwhile to do a Nissan specific product and 2) They're working on it!
PAC Audio has the knowledge to do it... Doesn't hurt to ask them, as the more people that ask, the more they'll think there's a market. |

That is a great idea Jaak. I have been looking into the NEO. When you try to go to the website to order for the MO it says not available. But if you register they will work on it. The more people that sign up the more we can probably push these guys to making one for MO and maybe even get a discount. If we can get enough people from the group to sign in and request. What do you think? Can we get the group to do so? It's pricier than the PAC but it looks like a cleaner install and works with the steering wheel controls and puts the data on the radio.
Maybe you guys already did this? If you did sorry for coming to the party late. :)

How can we get this info to more people in the group? There might be other interested people. |
|
|
| jaak |
The best way to do it, is a thread that is very clear in it's title, that links to register for this.
I've put my name on it as well and checked off the satellite radio box.
You can creat the thread, or I'll do it, I'm not picky. But make sure it's clear what it is in the title. I can also link from the general section, plus I'd suggest doing the same on FA, MP3car, XM and Sirius forums, etc...
Also go to other forums for Nissan products and Infiniti products. They all work the same way, more or less... |

Whats the latest on iPod integration? Over in Japn the dealers know nothing about it. I am hoping that I can get my late model iPod in the car somehow. I passed over getting the changer to keep the slot open for an intgration package.
I just ordered my '05 Murano and should be taking delivery at the end of the month. By what I have seen there are many fit differences between what you all have in the states and the car here. Mine has extra cameras (auto backup, side and nose) and a very integrated navi with auto-updated traffic maps showing traffic problems including broken down cars that may delay traffic.
If you have any questions on the differences or owning a car in Japan then let me know. |
|
|
| pcs15394 |
| Seems Like the Home town model is getting all the goodies!!! Cell Phone Integration in the Nav, Front and Side View Cameras. Sounds Pretty Good!! |
|
|
| Ferio |
And the nav integration is voice activated, in Japanese, but really cool. The front cameras are mounted on either fender. Push a button and you can see both directions on a split screen on nav which is very handy for the tight streets here. All total I have 4 cameras on the vehicle.
Phone is a single cable. Snap it onto phone and thats it. Powers/recharges phone. The antenna on car is used for broadcast/receive. The phonebook in my phone is downloaded whenever I want to update the navi. A voice command does the dialing. Incoming calls automatically mute the stereo and display on the navi who is calling, number and call duration.
I also have a 100V/100W outlet on the dash to power my PSP, iPod or PC.
The navi is tied into the national traffic control system. I can see a traffic jam about 10-20 klicks before it happens and get an alternate route. BTW, this works for both the highway and local/city streets. In addition I can simply type in a phone number and have a route set to any destination in Japan - including the other islands. I can also lookup by type of destination or push a button and talk to a real operator who can download route info to navi via phone.
Service here is amazing. The salesman came to my office to do the paperwork and will deliver the vehicle when it arrives.
I will post pics when I take delivery. |

| Seems like Japan really has it's stuff together in regard to Integration of just about any electronic's you can think of. It's a shame they don't have the iPod integrated yet. I think if they sold the Murano over here the way it is configured for the Japan market it would be about 45-50K and would definitely cut into their Infiniti market. |
|
|
| grfg8r |
| I agree! Except for the Zoom Zoom Zoom size, their Z50/Murano, sounds like an Infiniti over here. Ferio, keep us updated and please send pics at first opp. |

Specs for 3.5 liter is 170kw at 5600rpm which is about 228 horses. There is a 2.5 liter version with a standard A/T which generates 120 kw at 5200 rpm which is about 160 horses.
But for all the integration and toys we still don't have an iPod package and dealer knows nothing about it.
Maybe I should start a thread somewhere on the Japanese version? If so, what is proper place to do it? I have sales brochures and other stuff that I could scan (slowly) and post if anyone is interested. |
|
|
| jaak |
For now, just create a new thread for it. If it turns out we need a separate area, then I'll talk to the admin about creating it. But a thread may be enough.
I'd like to know where to get the service manual for it, as that shows much of the internals. |

Well I have been watching other posts for Pathfinders as I upgraded do to the need for space and such. I found this today and thougth it doesn't say specifically for Muranos, my understanding is that Murano's and Pathfinders have the same head unit. One may want to call to make sure.
Take a looksie here:

PS great thing is that it works with systems with or without facorty sat. |

| I know that the Rockford 6cd radio has the same satelite plug in as our BOSE radio because the PAC-NAISS thingy is the same model for both the Xterra and the Murano. The question would be if the text display and radio controls work the same as the Rockford head unit. |

Good point. |

| sid6581 |
The audio may work, but I doubt the controls will.
One of the reasons I have all but abandoned my Murano audio interface/IPod project is because of the way the steering wheel controls work with the radio.
There doesn't seem to be a way to intercept the track up/down buttons. The radio gets them first and starts getting all wacky. I haven't figured out a way around it... I suspect PAC had the same problem because they also do not support the controls through their adapter.
Good luck! |

Took me 20 minutes, couldn't find my sat cable connection... it was taped up to another cable behind the amp. Once I found it, sure was fun trying to untape (rip apart) from the other cable... chewed my hands up... if you're hands are bigger then mine, you might need some help (6'2" 200 lbs). could palm a basketball in 7th grade.
That was the hardest part and took 15 minutes of the install.
In the kit they sent me, they included two 6 foot long extension cables... I had zero use for them... and if you have a sat receiver, they're 5'5" to long. If I had a sat, I'd cut one of the cables down. to 6 inches or so.
The sat connection for the Murano is behind the spare tire under the rubber flap... I saw a write up stating its under the front passenger seat (not on the murano) I did look, couldn't hurt. [Occam's razor]
Here is a shot of the install completed, nothing really to show other then I used double sided tape to stick it, and a tie-wrap to make sure it doesn't move.
The cable that connects to the ipod looks to me like a standard PS2 cable... right now I have the ipod cable fished thru to my back seat, but if this is a standard PS2, I'm going to buy an extension cable and run it up to the glove-box (PS2 is the standard for mices and keyboards)
In the middle of this blurr of a photo, you see the ipod interface, and in the middle is the pass-thru for any users that have a sat receiver. |
|
|
| Margatenj |
A shot of the screen on my 04 display. Yes the controls work ... they're a bit freaky, but the unit did come with instructions...
The only thing the steering wheel controls control is the volume, and mode changes source (FM/AM/TAPE/SAT) and power on/off. No changing of song/album/etc. on the iPod. |
|
|
| Margatenj |
| Yeah she helped by reading off the the display to me. (Pesty stray kitten that keeps jumping in my car when ever I leave my car door open.) Anyone want a overly friendly kitten?? in the Philly area. ... you can name it socks!!! No really, who wants it!? |

LOOKS AWESOME Margate, you make # 3, so I am I safe to say this will work with the Murano??? |
|
|
| rixmo |
| Looks good MargatenJ! So you plugged the sat harness right into the nissan interface? I didn't think to try that. I used the 5' extention cable to get the interface up to the front seat and then used the remaining IPOD cable to get to the glove box. I had to slit the carpet to pull cables under the seat where the grey box sits under a seat rail. Let us know if your mouse extension cable works! |

Yes, unless you have a 03, then you'll need the sat harness - that wasn't preinstalled in the 03, but is installed in the 04 and up. |

| Also, let me know if you figure out how to keep the random setting when the vehicle is turned off. I've tried everything including updated my IPOD software. |

When it comes to wiring anything, more connections higher chance of failure... also I'm lazy. I connected everything up and it worked, so I doubled sided taped it there.
I'm still looking into finding an extension cable for the PS2 type iPod cable... I don't think its PS2, looks more like S-Video... I need more time, and if I can not find a pre-made extension cable ...I'll find the male/female jacks, I'll make my own cable up (and I'll post all my sources)... and most likely run the cable to the arm rest center console lower storage area. - I had my mo for a week before I knew that storage area was there :D
BTW I never said the most important statement, it sounds FRIGGIN AWESOME! High bit-rate MP3 on the Bose speakers! Playing something like Evanescence! Wow! worth every penny! |

If something else is controlling the iPod, no random settings saved. ... this is not a interface issue.
maybe in the next firmware update released by Apple this will be fixed. |

| all you have to do is hold down or up the steering wheel control and it will take you to the next song on the playlist and the extra cable is if you had satellite radio |
|
|
| rixmo |
| Right, the key is to hold the steering wheel button to change songs. If you just tap it, it will go to FM channels presets. I also listed in another thread how to change menu options. You hit the PGM/Repeat button and then the fast forwar/scan button and then hit PGM/Repeat again to select. You can also use the channel knob on the right to change songs or menu options. |

I tried it on the way home from work. Thanks for the tip! Works great!
...and if you hold down the volume, control & power buttons it will erase all songs off your iPod ...good if the MPAA are pulling you over or if you have to go thru one of the many MPAA ipod check-points.

not sure if the 06 has the same layout...
but on the 04, its the other up & down toggle switch (its not a button) on the steering wheel that is not the volume.
...you got your power, your mode, your volume, and your control "button(s)" |

Ah, I understand. It's the bottom button (I think the Presets button) on the '06.

| The links provided seem to make it clear that a factory radio with a 6 CD changer/ Bose is necessary to use this interface. I have the stock factory CD player in my 05 Murano. Is there any other good option besides the PAC AAI-NIS2 ? I'm willing to jump for an IPOD if I can control it with my factory radio. Otherwise, it's the PAC adapter and my Creative Nomad Zen Xtra. :( Any installs with photos for these adapters? |
|
|
| rixmo |
| SunCaptn did it as a test with the base radio and it worked in an 06. As long as you've got the buttons for Sat, this will work. Nissan only has one satellite install for all the Muranos so this IPOD interface operates the same as Satellite. |

Here's what I used to do my install, although it's pretty straight forward. Litterally plug and play after lifting the flaps behind the rear seat. These are for the xterra and most of it goes through wrapping the extra cables and taking apart their dash and glove box.
http://www.courtesyparts.com/Mercha...-00001_inst.pdf
Keep in mind, their price is $40 higher than yournissanparts. These directions also came with the kit as well as a nice glovebox manual. |

I've labeled Margatenj's photo so it is clear to everyone. No Bose amp in my Murano but the SAT plug was there. :)
I gather that some are looking for an iPod cable extension to put the iPod itself in the center console? I'd certainly be interested in that! Otherwise, this is a no-brainer. :D |

How do I open the glove box assembly ? I removed all the screws. How do I remove the right side of the assmenbly. Is there a hidden screw or shd i just try to pry it out using a tiny screw driver.
I'm planning to get the ipod module kit...just wanted to get a feel of whats behind the golvebox compartment.
if anyone in the bayarea can show me, i'll drive down to your city :)

Does it display full screen? Like if you play back a CD with MP3s burned on it, you can display track and artist (ID3 tag) info on the screen. I would hate to be limited to one line of data at the bottom of my screen when there is a full screen of realestate available. =) |

Ok after some experimentation, we have learned the following, on the 06 Murano, you do not get full control, you can not access the Menus, and it just numbers all your song from 1 to #### and wil play the songs from 1 to #### you can use the tune button to switch songs, but you can not play like a genre of music, just rock songs or just rap songs, or just a certain artist.
Sorry Guys, we tried, maybe the new gen will have this problem fixed. |

I have installed the iPod interface on my 2005 Mo. The car was prewired for SAT so the install was quick and easy. I did exactly what Margatenj did (see his pic) using a Gen 3 iPod with the latest software installed. I can choose the album/artist/playlist/genre I want although the controls are anything but intuitive. :confused: Carefully read the directions in the supplied pamphlet and just keep foolin' with the damn thing until you get somewhere. Be sure to do this while you are parked . :2:
BTW, I still haven't figured out how to go to random play but I'm gonna find a kid and have him explain it to me. :D |

Yep, we know it works on the 05's and the 04's with sat harness, but the 06's aprrently send a different signal, so it will not work. |

| looking for solutions to integrating my ipod with my 2006 murano S, besides the basic fm transmitter. Had an audio store wire up an wireless fm modulator to it last weekend and to be frank it sucks, the kensington transmitter i have is way better. Looking for any help, tips, ways to hook it up directly....all help is much appreciated. |

OK, can someone summarize this for me?
I have an 05 with the 6disc Bose CD changer. I want to put my iPod in the center console, that deep well seems like the perfect place as it keeps the iPod from ever being visible.
Which kit do I require? the Xterra version or the other? Are the cables coming off the sat connection the ones that actually connect to the iPod or do I have to go into the dash to connect something to the radio itself? |
|
|
| fireball |
For those who have the 06, why not try the MP3 CDs? I tried one with 11 albums in it and it played surprisingly well. The LCD display showed the artist and song title (because the songs were properly labelled).
I know making an MP3 CD is is hard work (especially if you have songs in AAC format) but it does save me time from opening the console and installing the iPod kit... but the plus factor is, I get to leave the iPod safe somewhere else.
Just a thought... |
|
|
| alanpgh |
I don't need full iPod integration at this point, but I do need my iPod integrated into the radio headunit of my '06 MO SL.
Looks like what I did a few months ago with my iPod mini and my handsfree install has worked out fine. Here's a link to a picture of the install:
http://www.nissanmurano.org/forums/...=&threadid=6538
It has worked spectacularly for me. I still have access directly to the iPod controls and do not have to put up with an FM Transmitter, so the direct conncet sound quality is great. I used the PAC AAI-NIS2 module from www.pac-audio.com and a mounting clip for the Murano from Proclipusa.
This has worked well for me, but things keep changing all the time. So, please keep all of us informaed of any new developments.
Thanks,
Alan |

| rixmo |
| Sharlin, You've got an 05 so you don't have the ability to play MP3s. The xterra kit hooks up behind the rear seats so you don't have to mess with the dash at all. Getting your IPod into the center console may take some work however. There is enough cable to make it but the center console is held together by a ton of screws as well as the gear shift assembly and in my opinion wasn't worth the effort. I ran mine into the glove box so it's just as safe and easy to remove. Besides, when the IPod is plugged in, there's nothing to see on the screen. It displays a check mark and an OK to disconnect message as all the important info is routed to your radio display. |

| Your options are either to buy the Sat wiring harness (not sure of cost) plus the Xterra IPOD kit ($180), or the PAC aux input for $90 plus a charger and a mount. You'll get more functionality with the first option, but only you can say whether it's worth the cost. |

1) Does it have the satellite pass-through, similar to previous models, that allow both the SAT tuner and iPod adapter to be connected at the same time?
2) Any chance of getting a longer iPod interface cable, so that it reaches up to the front of a Murano (glovebox, console)?
Can't wait to buy one :) |

A few things things that I observed after connecting the ipod module to my MO'05.
1. Random Play is OFF by default. Unable to turn it ON. (Followed the steps in the manual)
2. Dont see the PODCAST option in the menu
3. If you set the display to 'Title', the title of the song appears in the screen. It would be nice if the Title and Album info scrolls in the screen
thnx |

Same Setup, it allows Both Sat and Ipod to be hooked up at the same time, but you must disconnect the Ipod to activate the Sat.
Unfortuantely, Nissan has released only ONE Size Cord, I am sure when they Officially release the Murano One it will have the additional length cord.

| You don't hook it up behind the stereo, you hook it up behind the rear seat. No tools required! |

Well if its like the post I have seen before, then it does not show any of the details when playing music.
The in-dash CD/MP3 changer displays the ID3 track information when the music is playing. The pictures of the iPod interface I have seen posted here does not seem to do that. It just displays very basic information in the lower portion of the screen. Thats why I wanted to see pictures, to see if it was like the other post that did not have much onscreen, or if it looked the same as when playing back CDs with MP3 encoded on them.
That would be a bummer if it did not display all the track details from the MP3 tag. I probably would not get it then. |

Any chance this will work on a 2003? I bought the SAT cable from a dealer in 2004, as I was working with jak on making my own iPod interface. What's the difference between the 2003 and 2004+ radios?
Thanks,

| If you have the SAT cable it will work, that is all that is needed. |

Brian,
Any scientific guess when the 'official' Murano interface with the right sized cord will be released?
Thanks.

Thanks, what's the part number on the Titan iPod kit? I'd like to have my dealer order me one.
Just to confirm, I have a 2003 Murano *without* Bose, but *with* a SAT harness. The 2006 Titan Kit will allow me to hookup my iPod, and display artist information, etc, on the display, and use steering wheel controls?

Does someone let me know that the Nissan ipod interface can displayed the Japanese language on the Navi screen? I have a 05 with Bose and Navi.
Thanks. |

My dealer pretty much said "Titan what now?", so I ended up ordering it from jerseyparts site.

LOL, It is amazing how ill informed some dealers are, Nissan is pushing this thing hard through the dealers too, and they still are way behind on the info.... |

jerseyparts,
What type of returns policy does your site have?
I would really like to try the Titan iPod adapter in my 06 Murano but want to make sure I have full functionality and it displays complete track information like you would see when playing MP3s from CDs.
I don't want to invest in something that only displays a meager amount of information at the bottom of the display. |

Because it is an electrical Part, and sometimes human error comes into play, we will not return an electrical item until it has been tested as good, that being said, I can save you some time, it will shows Artist Name and Artist Title. |

Cool. I will probably be ordering one very soon then. No more 30 second delay between changing discs. =) |

Just thought I would chime in on this. I installed the Xterra/Pathfinder integration kit on my 2004 murano this week. It does work well, sounds great and the cord is indeed to short.
I played with getting the cord into the center console and it is just long enough to do that, although the ipod would likely have to sit below the tray insert.
I also spent a fair amount of time looking for the parts to make an extention cord and think this will be very difficult. The connector is a 10 pin min-din. This very unusual connector appears to have been used on the A/V cord for the Sega Saturn videa game console and the video out dongle for the ATI Radeon All-In-wonder video card.
I managed to find one source of the PCB mount receptalce but no cord ends at all.
I actually think a dock extension cord is more likely and there are a couple of sources for those parts - http://home.swipnet.se/ridax/connector.htm being one of them.
No one is making the completed dock extension cord yet, but sendstation.com is "supposed" to be releasing one "soon".
I hope this helps and if anyone manages to find the 10-pin mini-din cord connectors I would love to know where to get them! |
