u13turbo Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I just got a new headunit, And i have it all wired up and going, only problem now is the installing part, Do i need some sort of mounts off the old radio to attach to the new one or something? I threw my old one out allready so may need to go to a wrecker for them?? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewebster Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Mine (1991) was attached to the truck with a bracket that screwed into some holes in the side of the radio and then into two holes above the radio. You might be able to get it at a wreckers, but since I think all the radios come with lots of holes in the sides, maybe you can get some standard bracket somewhere? Not sure.

fishodeath Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 (edited) I got a generic adapter kit at walmart for like $15. Came with parts for various nissan/honda models, I only needed one of them. This attached to the cage that comes with a new head unit. I started w/o a factory stereo or harness, just a gaping hole with wires. Was something like this - http://www.ahwooga.com/detail.asp?id=281378 (not sure if its the same, but you only need one part) Edited May 1, 2011 by fishodeath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo3chang Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 you might just want to buy this instead http://cgi.ebay.com/Radio-Stereo-Dash-install-kit-NISSAN-PATHFINDER-1986-93-/290397920145?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item439d109b91#ht_2610wt_905 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo3chang Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 well the link is for the face plate so it doesn't leave a hole so you could see how snugly it fits before you go and get the bracket from junk yard i know my stock cage around the stock radio didn't line up with my after market aiwa head unit by a long shot . the plastic on them if exposed to heat starts falling apart too so a junk yard part for stereo on 10+ year old car might not last. i know from experience mine practically crumbled while removing it and the ones from my local pick-a-part (ecology) wasn't in much better condition. i'm currently in the process of sorting out my stereo too i just need to figure out my electrics first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
