Radio Upgrade Install: Nissan Sentra 2007

Hey guys, today I'm installing (really reinstalling) a new radio from the stock one. This video is more of a tutorial than a vlog but I hope you enjoy and hope this helps you out!!

4:40 instead of doing that, you could put the car in neutral and be sure to put on the breaks and chock the wheels. Then just slide the facia down a little.

[@ohiomike204]

Great job in explaining the details!

[@kiranp2023]

Thank you for this video. Can you share the video on how to connect andriod phone with nissan sentra 2007 bluetooth

[@nicholascruz9660]

Where can I find a harness for my Nissan Sentra 2012

[@Moruh]

Thank you once again this was a great video

[@EricDoesMineCraft]

Do you know if the stock radio screen can be used as an info or trip display still? Also, do the steering wheel controls work with the new radio?

[@mainervlogs6833]

The info screen cannot be used once you put in the new radio, the buttons on the steering wheel can work with the radio but you have to buy an adapter to make it work with the new radio

[@mwwhatever]

you can actually pull that entire driver instrumentation cluster bezel straight towards your face and it will pop right out

[@sergiocarrero5147]

Where did you buy the harness. I’m looking to bus the same. Thanks

[@mainervlogs6833]

Hey! When I bought the radio is was an option I had selected when ordering it to have the harness done. I’m not sure if they sell it separately or if you have to order it when you buy a unit

[@Jason-gd5eq]

Can you send a link for the wiring harness please?

[@randylopez6522]

what did you end up doing with the stock screen at the top? left it there?

[@mainervlogs6833]

Hey! I ended up leaving it out. You could probably leave it in because it might look better

[@randylopez6522]

@@mainervlogs6833 I bought a dash pocket to place my phone/wallet there. Will make installation this weekend, thanks for your video!

[@mainervlogs6833]

That’s awesome! I thought about doing something like that but never got around to it.

[@ScottMaday]

I was wondering the same thing

[@randylopez6522]

@@ScottMaday if you’re doing this on your car do the pocket thing I did. Looks good and very useful

[@silas9435]

so at 6:34 you say theres one chord for the power and one chord for the radio- whats the third smaller chord? also, do you need to plug in that radio chord? i dont have anything on my headpiece or harness to plug it into.

[@silas9435]

also, what harness did you buy?

[@mainervlogs6833]

Hey! So the third smaller cord is for the info screen above the radio. If you don’t need radio you don’t need to but you should have (based on when mine looked like) a round plug that goes into the back of the unit and then it goes to the plug I mentioned. It’s separate from the harness I believe. As for the harness there wasn’t a specific one I got, it was an option when ordering from crutchfield

[@kristipton7112]

Where did you buy the harness please

[@mainervlogs6833]

It says in the reply above that it was an option when I was getting my unit to have a harness made

[@12345MPEG]

My car doesn’t say Rockford Fosgate on the radio itself but there’s what I assume is an amp under the drivers seat. Is there anything different that I need to do if I plan on installing 2 amps. One for subwoofer and one for 4 channels

[@mainervlogs6833]

Hi! I’m not sure, if you do plan on ordering through crutch field they are very knowledgeable and can help suggest what the best thing to do is and what you might need. Hope this helps!

[@redfonzie21]

Gotta question for you. Actually a couple. I have an 07 Sentra like you, very much in consideration of replacing the stereo head unit with something Android based, but I have 178k on it and I'm not sure if I want to put THAT much expense into the car that I'm probably not going to get out of the car when I sell/trade it. So, what I NEED to do is figure out how to replace the antenna since it's been busted since I got the car last year. The problem being that not only is the antenna shaft itself gone, but I'm not sure how much below the shaft is damaged. I just don't want to tear it up any worse than it is, so could you please show in a video about what you ARE supposed to be replacing? Other than that, great video, great amount of details you show, I really appreciate it. The other pertinent question is this: When replacing the head unit, do you have to use a computer interface module to replace the functions that the car computer and factory stereo work together with in some way like on a lot of GM vehicles? I had to do this with my 2001 Olds Alero and it STILL didn't work correctly after the new head unit and module were in place, so I don't like dealing with that issue... Anyway, thanks again for your video. I really appreciate how much effort you took showing us the proper breakdown. One hint: Instead of removing the shift knob, if you put the car into neutral and set the parking break, chocking the wheels, you don't have to worry about the shift knob being in the way and you can still unscrew the screws that particular panel is hiding.

[@mainervlogs6833]

Hey man, so the only thing i’m actually replacing is the head unit, I don’t do anything with replacing the antenna. And as far as doing something with the computer all I have done was replace the head unit and haven’t had anything weird happen or have something not work. The only thing that doesn’t work anymore is the volume control and radio control on my steering wheel, for that you would need to get something for those to work. Thanks for the feedback too! I really appreciate it

[@redfonzie21]

@@mainervlogs6833 You're quite welcome! As I probably said, I really enjoyed your video. Very good job on it. Unfortunately I'm no longer driving Smurfette, she ate a deer and really bit off more than I could chew. She's now in the very capable hands of my friend who CAN take care of her, though, and he's going to be doing upgrades similar to what you did. In fact, great timing on responding to my response - he just told me the other night when we were driving around looking at the lights around our hometown (Hutchinson, Kansas.) Anyway, I now have a 2004 Dodge Caravan that I will soon be upgrading with an Android based stereo - hopefully with my friend's help! - and also installing some other equipment at or around the same time. God bless and be safe! Enjoy your festivities!

[@Usef320]

Im late asf but 178k your sentra made it past all the nissan red flags so you should be able to get to 400k with no issues im at 413k and other than basic upkeep the last repair i did was 9 months ago for a simple tuneup

[@AntonioMartinez-vt4md]

Hi! Do you still have the links for the harnes

[@renebanuelos6909]

Where can I find the radio??

[@helios9560]

can a 7" double din work?

[@waldoriveraq]

Great tutorial! By the way, since you are not installing the old factory display, would you consider selling it? Mine quit working and it's really a pain in the butt using the radio with no display. 😁

[@mainervlogs6833]

Thank you! Unfortunately I no longer have the car but I hope you find what you need

[@shawnchannell984]

Still need one?

[@Usef320]

is there any way to get the little orange display above to coexist with the screen?

[@mainervlogs6833]

Hey! I don’t believe so. That display plugs into the regular head unit so when you take that out there’s no way to connect that display unfortunately

[@AnythingEverythingGh]

Hello, does the info screen harness got a socket to the aftermarket stereo to display its values?

[@mainervlogs6833]

It does not, there’s only the one socket

[@AnythingEverythingGh]

@@mainervlogs6833 too bad, no info then

[@mainervlogs6833]

Ya it sucks because I liked having that info

Why can't you keep gas mileage... all the new Android radio player seem to have option to thing. I always wanted to change it out but I hate to lose gas mileage

what unit model JVC is that? can you post a link of the radio & harness kit in the description? thx

Hey! www.crutchfield.com/p_105KWM650B/JVC-KW-M650BT.html?omnews=16040542 its discontinued on this website but this is the one I have. As for the harness it was just an option when I checked out so I don’t have a link for the harness unfortunately

[@newyorksnative]

was the radio you installed a single din or double din radio??

[@mainervlogs6833]

It’s a double din

[@azaelaguilar909]

What goes on that big rectangular whole left?

[@mainervlogs6833]

Could you give a time stamp so I can try to help explain better? Thanks!

[@azaelaguilar909]

MainerVlogs the screen that comes with the car itself

[@mainervlogs6833]

Oh there’s nothing to cover that hole. So you could either leave the screen in but it will be blank or take it out like I did

[@meestadeuce]

@@mainervlogs6833 can an empty single din fit in there? Say for like coins or other random storage?

[@sirswishers4654]

do i have to connect the long ass mic

[@mainervlogs6833]

You don’t have to, but you loose the ability to use the mic with that unit. I’m sure they make shorter ones that you can order
