How To: Removing the Factory Head Unit ('24 Sport)

[Exquisite_Red]

Please excuse my ignorance. What's this all about? All I see is the radio being taken out but the same radio going back in??
What am I missing?

Steps 25-27 are the key steps. If you want to run amps/DSP in the Z Sport, you have to pull the head unit to tap into the harness. Performance guys have it much easier; they can just tap in before the Bose amp in the hatch. Anyways, I documented the process of pulling the head unit to help out anyone who may need it since I hadn’t seen it documented anywhere else yet.

Perhaps read OP's initial post that explains what he is doing?

I DID!
Smart ass...

Thanks for responding.

Here is the link to the one I bought: Link

I don’t really trust AliExpress but I was desperate and in a hurry so I chanced it. If you want to try to find something more local, the connector type you’re looking for is an NH18FW-CS2. Make sure you get a harness that’s male on one end and female on the other.

Hey bud, apologies but the link shows what looks like the harness for one second then says not available. I google searched for NH18FW-CS2 but the results coming back don't look right to me. If you have a moment would you be able to share where I could look to find the harness? If not, no issues, I'll try to figure it out lol.

Thanks again

I’m getting the same result. It was working a couple weeks ago when I posted the link. They must have taken it down for some reason.

I don’t think this connector is unique to the Z. It’s used in other Nissans based on the limited research I did. For example this one on Amazon looks to be the same type of connector, but it already has a bunch of wires tapped into it. You could research something like that to find something that will work for your plan.
