2004 Radio Install HU Bezel?

Yep... I am sure this is beating a dead horse. The search feature is my friend. Not.

Some of you have convinced me to ditch my generic radio... It works but the sound is not the best quality.

If you don't like highs and you don't like lows, then you will really love Bose.
I don't have the Bose system, though.

OK... Which after market dash insert is best? I want it to look closest to 2004 OEM.
Ebay?
Do you have a good reseller?
Links?


I have a Kenwood X889 from a Frontier I sold some six years ago.
It already has a Nissan harness and I just ordered the antenna convertor for Infinity.
The Head Unit is a single din. Like I mentioned, I would like it to look like the current tan/gray dash.

Please keep the replies positive.
There is no need for name calling and negative remarks as seen in other posts while searching...
We are only discussing a radio installation.

Thanks for the help.DOMO

I went with the JDM DD only because I have the factory nav and its the only one that can accomidate it. Metra kit is ok, buttons look a little goofy, the jdm is perfect match in that aspect. What color interior? if you have tan you can still use your buttons, just requires trimming of panel, also with metra i dont think you can have dual climate control, with the jdm you can solder the switch and not lose the function, there is an awesome diy on all of this in the forums.

Thanks...
I was going through Threads on here.


That Metra Kit does look crappy from the pictures, which I have seen.
Not sure if I can justify the price of the JDM.

I have the Metra DD kit and it DOES HAVE dual climate control-I did not lose any functionality whatsoever vs stock/oem equipment. While JDM is the only "dash kit" that looks as close as possible to USDM, it costs circa 2.5x more than the Metra DD kit. I will admit that I wished the Metra buttons were at least black--I would give MY Metra kit's fitment and color match an 8.5 and 9.25 out of 10 respectively =P.

Hmm...it's hard for my eyes to distinguish the exact color from those pictures, but the following are links to the three color options from Metra for their G Sedan dash kit.
1. Black - http://www.metraonline.com/part/99-7604B
2. Tan - http://www.metraonline.com/part/99-7604T
3. Silver - http://www.metraonline.com/part/99-7604

Comparing to the Metra website, it looks like black.
My interior is tan. And the silver looks too light.

When in the car it the dash looks more charcoal than black, though.

Does anyone have pictures of their Metra with tan interior?

Order the JDM kit with the dual ac control from Tony@OCInfiniti or you can take your button of the stock headunit and solder it to the new set up.
