2010 Nissan Maxima (2009-14) Factory removal/replace with touch screen(full step by step approach)!

Is their any way u can splice the power steering wire directly into the main harness and if so where is the steering wheel wiring is located

[@hurstysgarage]

Hey Lee you can with a steering wheel controll module like this... www.amazon.com/Axxess-ASWC-1-Universal-Steering-Interface/dp/B00B4PJC9K/ref=asc_df_B00B4PJC9K/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=241970631835&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16105128673794793401&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1027622&hvtargid=pla-343408299292&psc=1 But,, I don't think you can do it directly without a module.

[@saulramirezkb5855]

Hey. Did you loose your bose system after connecting the stereo???

[@saulramirezkb5855]

My 2009 nissan maxima harness i ordered came with 2 ground wires that say chassis ground. Did yours come like that too and if so what is it. Why 2?

[@adrianjuarez7722]

I did all the procedure and it worked perfectly, only my AC stopped working, it doesn't even turn on the lower part of the orange display, any ideas?

[@hurstysgarage]

Ok, I'm thinking that maybe when you went to go plugged back in the AC wire connector, it shorted out the fuse... I would try that first before I do anything else. And of course make sure that the battery is disconnected when you do those operations. And then if it's not that, try to unplug and make sure that the connections are free of dust and dirt and everything and then try to replug. Hopefully we don't need to go any farther than that, but let me know if that works:-)

[@gavinatorgamez2028]

I have a Nissan Maxima from 2010 as well but I have the type B A/C so the controls are down on the bottom with the radio and its all one piece, I wanted to get a headunit and subs but im not sure if I can buy the other type like yours and install it where the a/c controls are on the top or not?

@@hurstysgarage not quite yet but I’m buying a maxima tomorrow and this helped me get an idea. I think I’m going to install an Apple CarPlay as the radio, and for the ugly orange box, I am going to trim some plastic mirror or something of that sort and cover the ugly ness up. I will leave a little at the bottom so you can still see the climate control, but cover up the glitchy orange mess.

Absolutely not Christian...there are MANY ways to accomplish this task that you can do with just tape (electrical). Here is a video detailing the ways from best to worst, so hopefully this will give you an idea on what to use for your application. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6i6XoVmlJWKrLs ***Of course as a disclaimer...if you don't feel comfortable doing the project, always consult an expert for advice just to make sure***

[@hurstysgarage]

Hey BigEd...you will have to add a wire harness such as this (just an example)... www.crutchfield.com/p_530HDHU14W/Precision-Power-HDHU14-WH.html?tp=2977 -or- find a headunit that encompasses all the stock features. Let me know if you tackle this job and what you went with and how much it cost so other viewers get an idea if you would...thanks for question:-)

[@aludes_]

I installed a Kenwood touchscreen to my 12' Maxima but when I set the clock it don't save and it will go back to like 12:00am and I have to keep setting the clock. Do you have any tips or troubleshooting advice ? Thank you

[@hurstysgarage]

My first thought Uncpaw is that your ground connection is not very good (black wire). Check the radio harness connection for ground wire and make sure it is mated properly, and then make sure ground connection at physical battery is good (secure connection/tightened, not corroded). Hope this helps, cause it sounds like radio loses actual battery power everytime it is turned off, which in turn would reset clock back to factory setting of 12.

[@aludes_]

[@animationmoij784]

Great Job!!! is there a headunit dash kit that will replace the orignial headunit? Thinks it's kinda clunky with the AC knobs are removed.

[@hurstysgarage]

Hey Shadow...it all depends on how much you want to spend. They have options out there that look kind of like a Tesla screen (huge), covering all of the dash, encompassing all of the functions, and converting them to a touch screen application. Again, just comes down to what you want to spend (the way I did it was on the cheaper side). Hope this helps, and let me know what you decided to do;-)

[@moshiesty9882]

@@hurstysgaragewhere did you buy your touchscreen radio ? i’m not seeing the link trying to do the same with my 2010 nissan

[@mgpvii]

With the Nissan 2012 I was told that i needed to change the speakers because the radio would over heat due to the 2ohm stock speaker not being compatible with the new aftermarket radios being 4 ohm. Was that not the case with you?

[@hurstysgarage]

Hey mgpvii...have not had any problems whatsoever:-) But as a disclaimer, you follow what YOU think or have been recommended, as I am just some guy off KZbin and don't want to be liable for your specific situation. That being said, again, no problems here and have been on many trips where unit has ran all day:-)

[@mgpvii]

@@hurstysgarage Thanks for reply. I got the information about the speakers from Crutchfield. Interesting...when I put other cars in the search for radios, it does not show I need to change the speakers. Only when I put in the Nissan Maxima. So it was not like they were trying to get me to buy the speakers so I assumed I actually did need to change the speakers. Based on you not having any issues probably not a big deal between the different ohm speakers and Crutchfield says to change them as their disclaimer.

[@mgpvii]

@@hurstysgarage Just an update to my ohm comment below. I did he install and the stock speakers are indeed 2 ohm. The manual for my radio specifically says speakers should be 4 or 8 ohm so they did need to be changed.

Okay did what you did my fuse keeps popping everytime I plug it in any clue what’s happening?

[@hurstysgarage]

Did you ever get this figured out (sorry for the late response)? One thing that I always start with is my connections first. I make sure that they are all properly mated together and are not touching their "neighbor"/bare metal so as not to create the short. Next, I go through each wire again and make sure that wire is correctly mated with the correct wire it is supposed to be joined together with from the source I purchased from/video I'm watching/forums/etc. Keep in mind to that you do not want to be connecting wires while negative side of battery terminal is hooked up. Try these things first, and let me know if that helps:-)

Hey Daniel, it seems like sky's the limit for what you can buy.. if you look on Amazon, they've got some smaller ones, and then they've got very very large ones like around 10 inches or so.. so I think that would probably be a good place to start to see if that is something that you are looking at.

Hey Joseph...It has been a little while since I did the install, but I don't remember a pink wire. Is it on the aftermarket stereo harness, or the meta wire harness to factory car harness?

[@saulramirezkb5855]

If im not mistaken the pink wire is the brake wire, meaning the pink wire on the stereo, stereo wont turn on if the pink wire isnt connected, its for if your watching movies on your screen when the car is on drive the screen will black out, it will only work when the car is in park. But what i did was bypass it. I connected the pink wire of the stereo to one of the screws on the back of the stereo it self and it will work weather your in park or on drive
