How To Install Aftermarket Car Stereo in Nissan Quest - Pioneer DEH-X3500UI

[@Briandoesit]

Thank you for the demo. I hope whoever designed this dash didn't have their job long. Apparently they never heard make it simple stupid.

[@Adamhc75]

Thank-You. I just got a 05 Quest SE with the dual screen rear DVD. I also wanted to continue using my Pioneer DEH 80prs from my last car. I was originally going to completely remove the factory cd changer and audio unit and wire directly into the Bose amp. My biggest reason for not wiring it Directly to the Bose amp which contrary to popular belief can be done with a little work... was that I would loose full DVD audio for when I have more than two passengers in the back as I only have two sets of headphones. The way that you have set up yours will let me keep the rear DVD hooked up and will use the Bluetooth and MP3 capabilities of my pioneer while still letting the rear headphones work and if needed still let DVD audio play though the amp and speakers. Also with putting the Pioneer in I can now bypass that wimpy little 6 inch bose sub... (What a joke of a sub.) and add a good 8 or 10 with a decent little amp into the left side cargo area. Again thank-you for the AWESOME idea for install.

[@dial2fast]

Hey, thanks for your comment. Many people think with the design of the dash, you can't fit an aftermarket radio in, but as you can see, it can be done. The only thing is the PAC aux input device is not made anymore but I know there are other ones out there now that does the same thing. Or if you lucky, find one on ebay. Just google around or ask your local stereo shop.

[@nerys71]

+dial2fast names of other adapters? just got an 04 quest and really wany my aux input

[@nerys71]

+Nerys ahh found the insi531 info ordered amazon $76. fingers crossed :-)

[@CharlesBridgTec]

I think this is overkill. I have the 2006 model S. I purchased a fm transmitter mp3 that uses the fm tuner of the stereo. It sounds great and sure beats tearing apart the vehicle because it is powered by the cigarette socket below the factory stereo.

[@GROUNDZZZERO]

hello, i was excited as you started to explain what each input is on the back of the radio, then right when you got to the very last one i think its a small 4 pin, you skipped over it and didn't mention what its for. could you tell me what that input is for? please. thanks so much.

[@Arati4006]

Wonderful. Thanks for the detailed video. I am planning to install a in-dash GPS with backup camera. Any ideas which one I should go for? Do not want to replace my Nissan Quest 2006 though.

[@dial2fast]

I haven't had a chance to install one of those, but I would stick with either a Pioneer or Sony as they typically have a better user interface. JVC and Kenwood tend to be not as nice. Also check any reviews of the specific models before buying.

[@sergioangel8]

I check on the internet and aai-nis is sold out, is there an alternative please let me know, thank you! Great video.

[@jerryledesma7267]

Would u be able to tell me y my car won't start after I installed my aftermarket stereo. All my lights work, battery is still good, fuses are all good and relays are all good.

[@offairhead]

The caps you showed removed at 1:35. How did you get the caps off?? We can't get them off.

[@scottfirman]

I watched a video on how to remove the CD player and I had no idea the CD player is the radio its self. They just used a satellite controller for the steering wheel and upper console. Not a whole lot of options available for the Quest as far as after market radios. I need a replacement console cover as mine is broke, they made them so damn thin.

[@joelrodgers9144]

Would this also mean that a cd player with an auxiliary port would work as well? I have no need for the mp3 capability, but would like to use it with an auxiliary cord.

[@dougjstl1]

Lights man what's up with the lights I guess they do that on purpose make some look cool

[@patrickl3150]

dial2fast question with the aftermarket stereo can you also use bluethooth like hands free calling also with the stereo can you use the aftermarket stereo to listen to the raido stations or is it just the factory stereo

[@lennindavila7361]

Did you know if a double din stereo can be installed?

[@williamsnider6307]

Thank you for the video and will be going that route. Is there anyway to email a copy of the relay setup.

[@kalo671]

What is the new pac aai sin for a 2004 Nissan quest

[@juantrejo261]

I would love to hook up my own cd player but its a litle complicate for that wiring kit im talking bout the pac would u explain to me more about it please thank you so much

[@nathancmorales]

Thanks for the video. I bought the iSimple ISNI531, but--like many on here--I am unsure about the wiring and the relay. What type of relay does one purchase?

[@fontaebutlerjr7370]

Will this work on a 2008 quest ?

[@lc3343]

Can u create a video or is there another video using isimple isn 1531 model.

[@lc3343]

Is this piece made exactly the same or do you know if it is installed differently than with the AAI NIS PIECE.

[@donmullinax8195]

Mine has a DVD player under the Seat. Is it still possible to run the DVD with an aftermarket?

[@gertis7420]

This is a great video, very detailed and explained. Thanks for sharing.

[@dial2fast]

Thanks for your comments.

[@dial2fast]

Those who own this Nissan Quest know that an aftermarket stereo install can be made difficult due to the design of the center console. In this video, you will see how I approached this install without doing mssive modification to the console. Also choosing an aftermarket car stereo that is easy to use (preferably with a remote control) will help with the ease of use while driving. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment.

[@LewisWifey]

hey

[@LewisWifey]

wondering how I can do this with a 6 disk changer. i just want an auxiliary port to use

[@stayhumble8886]

dial2fast do I really need that pac you used to install the radio? Can I just buy the aftermarket radio wire harness and just do it that way? I’m thinking about installing a Bluetooth radio for my sister in her 2005 quest.

[@jhonrodri4298]

Hello, im installing a pioneer stereo using the Pac Isimple ISNI531. My question is which is the wire that that would be used inorder to turn on the pioneer when I hit the SAT button. I have tested every wire from the stereo the Pac module and the top dash control, but no luck the only wire i found would b the pink wire from the Pac module that triggers the relay but when i switch back to cd or radio the relay stays on .... so any help on what the correct wire or what other option would work in order to turn on the pioneer when hitting the SAT button ......... thank you

[@dial2fast]

As you saw in my install, I used the older type and the trigger connected to a relay did work to turn on the deck when SAT selected. If yours does not, you may want to contact pac-audio and see if they can help.

[@TimStatic]

Where is the best place to find or order the panel w/ the factory radio controls etc?? Mine is broke in 2 places & needs replaced. After that is replaced I can do something of this nature for mp3/mp4 playability :)

[@dial2fast]

TimStatic Check Ebay

[@dimitriseals4389]

I don’t know if you’re still looking at these comments but my factory radio just died on my 04 Quest and The fuse is fine. I hit the power button and the display doesn’t even light up. No sound.

[@dial2fast]

Perhaps the radio died. You said you checked the fuse already. You might need a replacement radio.

[@SuperWifeystatus]

I just bought a quest with this problem how did you fix it

[@codystonehill5808]

Not sure if you still read these, but my radio has been popping on startup on my 2008 Quest and I'd have to restart the van for it to work..well, it finally made one loud pop and won't even turn on. It shows engine info on the screen, but the radio functions are all gone. Assuming the factory radio has finally died, would this work so I could put in a head unit? or does the factory unit still have to work? Fuses looked good. Thank you!!!

[@dial2fast]

For this to work, your factory unit must still be working.

[@codystonehill5808]

+dial2fast Ah..do you know of any alternatives that I could use an aftermarket radio?

[@dial2fast]

You can find a used factory radio on ebay and replace it.

[@codystonehill5808]

+dial2fast yes but that's an upwards of $240 after shipping lol, just wish there were a way to place the unit with an aftermarket unit by means of a wiring adapter but can't find anything for the Quest..thanks for the tips though, I appreciate it.

[@codystonehill5808]

+dial2fast Good news if your stock unit ever dies! I went out, bought a radio, of course one with plenty of extras, and using a Nissan aftermarket radio adapter (this was scosche, available at walmart) It does NOT mention the Quest, but does mention the maxima, and it has the same set up, and it works great! Just wanted to let you know since it seems fairly common to go out on these. Steering wheel controls still work, however, the dash buttons do not. I can live with that and put it in the same place you did yours. Hope this helps you or someone else, and thanks for your feedback.

[@ElliotScottDating]

Can anyone tell me the buttons needed to correctly connect it to my note 3? I looked everywhere and tried and can't do it.

[@bkelley7264]

Greetings: Is it possible to access the antenna on the back of the radio by just removing the top of the console? I am adding a sirius onyx unit and want to add the fm direct adapter. thanks!

[@dial2fast]

You can try taking a look by removing the top console. If I remember, it's rather tight at the back. Not sure if you can get to all the plugs from the top.

[@LarsaCorp]

Thank you so much! The Best vids on youtube.

[@OmarAdrianRamirezBelmont]

hello. good day. please tell me, what about with rear controls? still working after a factory radio replacement. actually I don't wanna lose steering and rear controls. thanks

[@dial2fast]

Doing the install this way will not disable the factory controls, but the aftermarket stereo is connected using the aux input to the factory system, so the factory setup still functions.

[@mhssmhss]

Greetings: Excellent video. I'm just wondered if PAC iSimple ISNI531 works for Nissan Quest 2005 since in the web site says 2007-2009.

[@brianandzyldaashak245]

Hello. Did you ever find out if the PAC iSimple ISNI531 works with the Nissan Quest 2005? I was going to order it, but I also saw that the compatible models were 2007-2009. Thanks

[@miketzul4043]

Hi nice video you think i can put with dvd player and gps let me know thanks

[@dial2fast]

mike tzul With the location of that spot, it's not practical to install a dvd/gps device being so low.

[@lc3343]

Hello, my cd player is jammed in my 04 Nissan quest. I amm gonna replace with aftermarket stereo system, but I also want to be able to control sound from both factory and aaftermarket by volume control on dash. I do have an sat button so the main piece I need to do that is discontinued AAI-NIS. DO u know what the newer model is or the name of the products that would work in the same exact way. And which direction to look to find one at reasonable pricing. Please thanks.

[@dial2fast]

The replacement aux input module is in the description: PAC iSimple ISNI531

[@lc3343]

Ok thanks, I will look for this model. Ill try and contact pacaudio.com

[@edwinj.pacheco4038]

What is the connector on the side of the Sat plug hole? it looked like a phone jack connector.

[@dial2fast]

It's not a phone jack. I am not sure but there are 3 or 4 wires connected.

[@armandoaguirre9614]

hi, i have a 04 nissan quest.. have a cuestion there is a,, looks like heater hose comes from cooling system goes on top of motor where is a junction with other hose, between hoses there is a coupling devise that has a shape of a philips screw head,,,well the hose side that comes from engine its been 2 times that has come loose or partially off then antifreeze leaks....why is that,,this hose disconnects by itself//????

Hi, is there anything that I can replace the pac aai-nis or the nis2? because I try to find one for my 2005 quest and there's nothing out there for the 2005 model . :(

[@dial2fast]

I found this, check it out: PAC aPAC-NIS1

[@Olivia18990]

dial2fast thanks!!

[@richardbeltran3794]

Will this install work if the stock Nissan Quest radio isn't working properly?

[@dial2fast]

Richard Beltran Depending on what's not working, probably not.

[@richardbeltran3794]

dial2fast The control panel with all the volume controls and whatnot work but the radio won't play and the cd changer doesn't work. Can I remove the stock radio and replace it with an aftermarket radio? What kind of wiring harness adapter would I need?

[@dial2fast]

Richard Beltran Yes you can replace the factory one with an aftermarket one, and you will need the stereo harness to connect from factory plug to the aftermarket radio. You will also nee an antenna adapter for the Nissan. But you will have to control all the functions/ volume from the aftermarket deck. Basically you won't use any of the factory control or display. Check with Crutchfield for the parts you need.

[@thompsonlin7249]

Nice, thank you very much for your sharing!

[@sharanshriyan]

Nice Video, checked with local shops, but most of them said neither of the suggested parts would work. Could you please confirm PAC iSimple ISNI531 and PAC aPAC-NIS1?

[@dial2fast]

It should work as long as your factory radio has a SAT button option. You can also try contacting PAC and ask them directly as they would know for sure.

[@sharanshriyan]

Thx for your response, I did check with pac audio technical support and they confirmed the same.

[@sharanshriyan]

dial2fast Thanks Again, I had a technician installed DEH-6500BT stereo in my Nissan Quest 2006 with ISNI531 two weeks back, it has been awesome since then. Hope this information helps others.

[@sarahjenkins3537]

How do I install isimple to pioneer to factory stereo?

[@carslover3509]

is there are no problems with the original stereo why did you replace it ??

[@dial2fast]

+amjad amj The factory radio does not play MP3

[@carslover3509]

i see put there is some mp3s plug in in the lighter port and transmit to the fm radio if get one you dont have to work that huge work ? ... and thanks friend for sharing

[@dial2fast]

+amjad amj Almost all FM transmitters get interference and sound quality is not good. Also you won't have anything that will stop/start with ignition when playing MP3.

[@carslover3509]

i see thanks friend keep the good work

[@JimHancock]

I just bought this same car, I noticed the same 3rd party radio, and my first thought was, that looks like hatchet and hammer installation, and Micky Mouse was the installer.... as does yours.... I see your limitations.... that is why there has to be a better way if you are just looking for MP3 input.... because it looks like hell.... I'm not sure the previous owner was smart enough to leave the old radio in so the the buttons still work..... I will go check that now, if he did, that will ease the pain some....... OK I'm back, no evidence that the steering wheel buttons or the dash buttons work at all........ shame....

[@anagonzalez8102]

Hello I have a Nissan Quest 2006 but I cant find that part that you are saying can you help me

[@dial2fast]

The part I used is discontinued. Look up the PAC iSimple ISNI531 which is the current model for aux input. The factory radio must have a SAT button.

[@anagonzalez8102]

Ok thanks
