I don't remember the Kenwood part # right off, but it connects to the CD changer input in the back of the Kenwood head unit.

Thanks!

I can't believe that enough people complained about this that Nissan decided to put these in the car.

+1 haha. My knees meet the pad, but I can't move them to the right enough to touch. The sides of the bucket seats restrict that. I guess my knees have to be 6 inches wider =P

Knee pads may be a misnomer, but they do provide a nice cusion for some part of your leg, especially during aggressive driving.

The '06 pads are a bit different in shape and material. My driver's side pad just happens to have an annoying creak to it.

I'm 5'10 and the knee pads work just fine for me. It's not a big deal either way, but personally I like them being there.
