Has anyone found a unit that pretends to be the CD changer that plugs in and works? It's on my list of things to look at...
I saw a thread on another Navara site and a guy on there had listed everything he had done, and determined that it cannot be. He went as far as emailing and phoning dealers / suppliers in different countries without joy. There are CD unit emulators that on some websites will claim to work with your nav unit, but they
will not! (X-Car Link & Grom Audio included).

thanks for the feed back guys! how to the more modern navs do it though? is it a whole new unit?
if so any recommendations for units that fit in to the existing space that has satnav, usb and hands free etc?
I've got an IO Play2. It sits inline with the existing wiring - so no modification - and has more poke and sounds better than the factory kit. It really is a comprehensive piece of kit. The problem with fitting another head unit altogether is the loss of function of the on-board computer and the fiddling to get the reverse camera to work (if you have one fitted).
I should also add that you can't just slot another head unit in if you have factory fitted navigation. You
will need the different fascia from the non-navigation model
and different mounting brackets. I can tell you that the brackets are £50 for a pair from Nissan! The swap out is far from difficult if you're competent in that kind of thing, but at the same time it isn't exactly trivial!
