Credit: Mohammed Hamed

For those who have a 2016 earning for apple and android CarPlay. It’s possible!. Installed a 2018 head unit into my 2016 maxima. eBay find $300. Plug and play being OEM. Just be mindful the the headunits differ depending on if your vehicle is equipped with Bose vs non-Bose.

Notes:

• So quick question, so your radio didn’t need to be programmed by the dealer correct? Not at all! Once it’s installed it’s good to go. Just make sure the SD card comes with the used replacement from 2017 or 2018.
• 25915 9(DE1C) was the new part number. DE is 2018 which comes with android auto. DD is a 2017 unit only has apple. The 1 stands for Bose and non Bose is a 0. Ignore the last letter. They can vary.
