Now for the critical part.....what is something like this going to cost? It looks nicely designed although the beta test procedures will raise certain issues about the placement and functionality of the various switches etc....but overall it looks well made.

You mentioned the crappy Bose system....do you have the stock system or the upgraded one that you've replaced? It sounds like the speakers are suitable but it was the equalizer or bass/treble adjustments that didn't allow the speakers to perform at optimum levels? Additionally, I don't know who picked the voice for the GPS but there are two voices....the main one for the major routes is fine, but that secondary one for the surface streets sounds like some gal who's been smoking for 40 years and has a bad case of bronchitis.

 

price is a huge factor here, if it costs almost as much as the headunit i want to install...then that might be a lil ridiculous, but i highly doubt it being in the same price range as there normal dash install kits which usually run about ~30 bucks...i just wanna see a price!

 

Keep in mind this is not just a plastic sleeve that you typically use to install an after market radio. This has a circuit board, touch pad, and has a very nice finish. You see I already have a Nav system that I used in my old truck and I kept it, and now I can finally install it in my MO! Instead of buying an OEM Nav that could probably cost me about $1000.

 

That's a great looking install. I have a Pioneer DDIN sitting in my garage waiting to go into my Mo!

Did you hear any whispers about when we might be able to buy this kit? price?

 

It should be out in the market next month (Febuary). I think it going for $150 - $250. I'm not sure about the price.

 

I want this...i have a pioneer DDIN waiting to get into my 05 murano!!!!

any idea as to when this will available for purchase?

 

Very nice install. It would be nice if the steering wheel controls still worked instead of having them there just being dummy buttons but im sure they're working on that.

Can't wait to install my Kenwood!

 

Your in luck coz the steering wheel controls still work if your radio has a remote input/plug.

 

Wow very slick!!!! Can't wait to get it.

That's pretty cool the steering wheel control. So the kit is coming with the ability to have the steering wheel control control our decks! Thats awesome. I had been looking at buying a interface separately when the kit is available for purchase. That's a option for us all. If the metra kit interface has difficultly controlling whatever deck, PAC makes aftermarket interfaces that could bypass the metra one and u get the best of both worlds.

 

NICE! now if they could just include a rotary knob for the STUPID mode button! I HATE having to take my eye's off the road to switch from heat to defrost!...dumb design...

I can't wait!

 

Question about the OEM screen

I can see from the install pics that the OEM color screen still shows the Fuel Economy screen. So does everything except the Radio/CD/Tape functions still show on the color screen, with the Pioneer GPS installed? If so, that is so freaking cool...

Yes.

 

Kenny, do you just buy the kit or do ou need any other kits or wires/ harnesses?

 

Hey kenny, how do you find this kit after install? What are the pros/cons?

 

Hey kenny, on another forum about this someone asked a great question after noticing there's no Maintenance button on the kit! He was wondering if this feature is available through settings.

 

Anyone seen this actually out for sale yet?

 

This product is starting to look like it is never truly being released.

 

I contacted them and they said another month, but Im one who doesnt like waiting.

 

Thanks for the update... other folks here say they have been saying that now since Oct/Nov of last year. It would be great to know even a price, that would help many of us decide if its even an option, financially.

 

A few months isn't really that late. Last I checked there was a BMW tuner four years late on the release of an ECU tuning solution and he was still saying it's coming.

 

most of the people on this forum wont have this car by the time its released.

 

Only time will tell.

 

anything??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

we have a 1000+ mile road trip to make in late may and the cd player in my wife's mo just clicks and doesnt play anything, and i hate listening to the radio

WE NEED A SOLUTION!!!!

 

It's out now.

welp, i didnt know there were multiple threads on this same kit...

 

Any update on availability and final price?

 

MuranoGeek, since you're in the know about this unit....will the steering wheel controls still work once a new stereo is installed, or will additional hardware be required?

 

MuranoGeek - apart from the kit do I need anything else except a double DIN if I have a standard radio (i.e. Non Bose)? Any update on availability of the silver one from metra?>

 

The steering wheel controls will work, as long as your aftermarket stereo has a wired SWC input (most do).

According to the instructions, you will need the following other parts for non-Bose vehicles:
Wiring Harness: • 70-7550 1995-Up Nissan Harness
Antenna Adapter: • 40-NI10 Nissan Antenna Adapter

You can look at the instructions here: www.installer.com/pdf/99-7612b.pdf

 

Thanks MuranoGeek, now need to wait for the Silver kit...
