Did it have a standard box on back? Anymore details on it?

Taking a break for a moment from the kite buggy.  Going to give windsurfing a try.

It turns out those connectors in the engine compartment are the other end of the ones under the dash.  No power to any of it and I never sourced the connectors.   

Almost 10k miles on mine so far.

I think it's foil tape and it covers up unused holes. Not great for the long run as it eventually falls off. I have a bunch where it looks like the running boards or step bars would bolt up too.

Just be sure the handle is in the closed position when pulling the door forward.  It feels plenty strong and solid when the door impacts close.  Also if the passenger front door is open; the sliding door closes much easier due to not having to try and compress the air in the van.

Those with full interior; what mounts to these larger round holes?

It's always in my way. Tempted to take it off.

I'd like to have an insulation package to make the heater work better in the winter and the AC to work better in the summer.  Also to quiet the sound of rain on the roof.

Also would like for the exhaust to be more quiet at idle.

Apple Car Play would be nice as the base radio.

One workaround you can do; put it in neutral and turn the key off; then put it in park.

I wonder if it was by design intent that the shift lever just so happens to really block the key off when it's in drive?

It's just the plain radio and 2 door speakers. It only has a line in jack. No controls on the wheel.

Run a search on eBay for Nissan nv camera and you'll see lots of sellers for it. Same camera with prices all over the place from $99 and up:

Keyless ignition. I get tired of cranking this thing up. Ever drive a Prius? Just jump in and go.

No gas cap. Look at the way Ford does it.

I still think since this is a low volume vehicle; they should use it as a test platform and put a full electric drive in it to later offer in their trucks and SUV's.

It would be nice to be able to sit there with the AC or heater on and not have the noisy engine and smelly exhaust going. That's one thing electric enables. Also ends the hassle of going to gas stations and doing oil changes.

In the past decades; I've installed various head units, amps, speakers, and subs into various vehicles.

I've never had a bazooka tube before; but have always been intrigued by them.  I like the packaging and integrated amp. 

I'm at a loss as far as getting access to the audio signal.  Would like to do it cleanly and proper and not butcher up the factory harness.

Picture of the speaker plug in the door and of the connector at the head unit.  Wish I had a better pic showing the shrouding of the wires.

 

Looks OEM for sure.  Clean install.

I get 17 in mixed highway/city. 

Mine gets up to highway speed just fine on the on ramp.  It's peppy.

The dealer sent an email 2 days later at 8am saying the part was in.  I scheduled an appointment online at 10am same day.  They had it installed in less than 1 hour; no charge.

Just doesn't seem very progressive or proactive to not look into a defective part. I bet their competitors would be more interested in it then them.

It was good to have a manual.  Nice to know where the connectors are, how many, and what type.  Glad I don't work in a car stereo shop though.

It wasn't too bad.  20 minutes taking my time and 5 minutes to snap it back together.

Didn't find what I was looking for though.  Didn't see any good place for getting the audio signal for a sub.  

Appears to be a Clarion head unit?

 

Found them:

Nice to have a place to tap into for power.

 

What if you could buy an NV with no sliding door, or have the sliding door on the driver side?  Or have a sliding door on both sides?

A 4 door NV?

4,000 miles.  Left front strut is leaking oil.  No way should it be leaking with this few miles on it.  Check your front struts and see if they are wet or dry.  Dealer has one on order from Dallas.

The dry passanger side:

The wet strut on the driver side.  The lower control arm is soaked and it's dripped back(blown) on the inner fender plastic.

Anyone had the inside door panel off the back door?

I don't have the backup camera above the license plate.  Wondering how that plastic plug is removed.

Will this camera "bolt in" to the factory location?
