As far as I can see (see pic of the back of my HU), I am "missing" the 12pin connection on my HU (I don't have the Nissan on any other SAT NAV device). So, I have purchased and installed the WRONG device Any suggestions as to what I actually need?? Thanks again everyone...

 

I'll contact discountcarstereo to see if I can get something else to replace the PA11-NIS

 

Will the PAC AAI-NIS work for me? And what about the good old Soundgate AUX NISS? Please help me out of this total nightmare!

 

PAC also has the AAI-NIS2 out but from what I see, it still needs both the 10pin and the 12pin connection!

So...correct me if I'm wrong: I have a "Bose NON SAT ready" HU? Anyone out there with my same HU actually managed to connect the iPod? Is the only solution a NEW HU (of course I mean NON OEM)?

 

where do you mount the PA11-NISS box?

 

I installed mine under the passenger side seat...make sure you can access the dip switches though! CAN SOMEONE HELP ME???

 

OK, so anyone interested in buying my brand new PA11-NIS?

 

Will this work with 06 with no NAVI??

 

I have no idea. But I suppose the 06 will have the 12pin connector you need to link up th HU with the PA11-NIS

 

Are you guys sure this works with a factory Bose headunit that has a radio button? According to Crutchfield's website it's won't work with it!

I have an 05 ZR with Bose radio. I would like to be able to connect and charge my I-pod as well as an aftermarket Satellite receiver. This product seems to do exactly what I need. I would like to get it but I would like to verify it will work for me.

If you select 350z it says it will not work.

 

Yes it will work in the 2004 - 2005 USDM factory Bose Cd changer headunit. The 2003 Bose headunit lacks the 12-pin connector which was intendend for the factory SAT radio. The 2004-2005 Bose have the connector which is where the PA11-NIS plugs into. If you have factory SAT radio you will not be able to use it and the PA11-NIS at the same time (you must remove it). You can hookup an aftermarket SAT radio (or DVD-ROM, NAV, etc.) to the factory Bose since the PA11-NIS also has inputs for an auxilary device. If you want to be absolutly sure, take out the headunit out and look to see if you have the 12-pin connector.

 

All I can do is quote XtaZee...anyone want my brand new PA11-NIS? I DEFINITELY don't need one!

 

I'm interested in your PA11-NIS. How much do you want for it? Is it brand new in the package or is it used? Why are you selling it?

I tried to PM you but it said that your box is full.

 

Just cleared my inbox! Yes, selling 'cause it won't work with my HU for the reasons discussed in this thread. Yeas, it's new. I'll PM you.

 

does anybody know if the pa11-niss works with '06 non-Bose HU??? This is driving me nuts. PLEAASE help anybody???

 

works for me!

 

None of them work on the 06 roadster. I cant belive Nissan put a diffrent model Bose radio in the roadsters but the part numbers are diffrent the rear plugs are not compatible with any of the adapters

 

Crutchfield says it doesn't work, USA-SPEC says it does, and I say it does. Just installed my PA11-NIS yesterday, and I have the scraped and bloody knuckles to prove it!

XtaZee's instructions made the crucial difference, so many thanks there. Crutchfield don't have a "master sheet" for the 06 w/o nav, but they sent me a bunch of pics & scanned handwritten instructions for the 03-05 without nav and the 06 with nav (it's a 10MB file, if anyone wants a copy, drop me a line), and between those, the instructions from discountcarstereo.com (http://discountcarstereo.com/pdf/pa11-nis.pdf - the source of XtaZee's wiring diagram) and XtaZee's added hints, I got it done in a couple of hours. My installation was complicated by the after-market airbag on-off switch which is installed in the cubby where the nav system would go, and because its cable limited how far I could pull the dash out, I had to remove the cubby from the dash too, so that made it more complex.

Bottom line - there's a lot of conflicting and incomplete information floating around out there about what does and doesn't work, so my "nuggets" of experience are:

1) The only way to know for sure is to take your radio out, and have a look at the back of it - if you don't have the 12-pin plug, you're SOL.
2) It looks like Nissan always hook up all the parts of the wiring harness, whether you have satellite radio, a remote changer or nav or not - so be prepared to unplug things on the back of your unit until you find the 10-pin and 12-pin plugs XtaZee mentions above - and, yes, I now have a dangling 12-pin plug from the factory harness hidden behind the radio that I had to leave disconnected, but that's apparently to be expected.
