My weekend warrior project.
I purchased an ipod interface ipod interface for our 2001 Quest-- (keep in mind that the radio in this van is a Ford radio and i don't think the interface will work on any other Nissan).
The purpose of this project was to install my girlfriends ipod photo (60G) into the van and control it with the factory radio buttons--
Installation
1.Removing the fascia was easy... two screws Bering the change pocket/ashtray and pry out at the top.
2. Removed four phillips head screws from radio support brackets
3. Disconnected factory plugs from radio and connected them to the cables included with interface, then connected the other end back into the radio
4. Renamed playlist in iTunes to FORD1-FORD6
5. Connected ipod to the docking cable (included)
6. Turned on stereo and ipod quickly jumped to external control and the display read: FORD OK TO DISCONNECT.
7. I was then able to change tracks, playlist, scan, shuffle, FF, REW from the radio-- pretty kewl.
I have pictures, but don't know how to add them to this forum-- email me and i'll be happy to send them.
