I read in nissan sport magazine that an editor changed out his 03 interior to 06 interor. Has anyone on here done this kind of conversion, and if so how difficult is it to do?
I've got a 03 touring with side airbags and navigation. I would like to at least change the door panels to get the cup holders and it would also be nice to change out the center console.
I know it's possible to install an 06 steering wheel with radio controls but can you install an 06 bose and then run the stereo controls to the wheel?
Thanks for any help!

I'd be interested in the wheel conversion too. Is the 06 Bose different to my 04? I am presuming I can't just buy the 06 wheel because there are no wires going from my head unit to the steering column right?

Hope you enjoyed the rest of the Spring '08 issue!

The hardest thing is finding the pieces at a reasonable price.

The curvature of the 06+ stereo is a little different. Also, if I remember correctly, someone from Performance Nissan wrote that the new hvac controls didn't work properly when placed in an older model. I tried to do a search, but I couldn't find the post.

The only way to do it properly is to swap out the entire interior. Retain the white HVAC control unit from the '03-05 car (located behind the silver *****) though, if you want the controls to function properly.
This conversion is NOT as easy as it appears! You definitely don't want to do it for the cupholders...
