My 2011 Silver edition has a janky aux input and my bluetooth adapter cuts out a lot. I also have a blown out speaker up front. I talked to a local car audio installer who said he has replaced R51 pathfinder Bose system before and said I really just need to get a harness adapter for my new head unit. Well I went home and saw a good deal on this new Pioneer DMH-1700NEX unit ($300) so I bought it.
Installer claimed it would work fine with backup camera and steering wheel controls but I'm dubious. I'm also concerned about the AC controls. Right now I'm leaning towards returning this head unit and just looking at hardwiring a better bluetooth solution into the stock head unit and replacing front speakers myself.
Has anyone replaced the head unit in their R51 with a Pioneer NEX unit? Any thoughts on this project?
My pathy only has 60k miles so I'd like to get this working so I can have many more years of quality audio in this vehicle...
Thanks!
