"2004 Nissan Murano: How To Replace Factory Stereo System"

2004 Nissan Murano Dashboard

I have an 2004 Nissan Murano, with the Bose system (without navigation), and I read where the factory system can’t be replaced due to the climate controls being wired into the radio system. I’m not happy with the quality of sound, and want to replace everything. Is there a way around this? I’ve only looked online to find this, but haven’t talked to anybody yet on it. I will be very disappointed if this is the case.

Answer: Vehicles with stereo systems like that in the Nissan Murano, are becoming more popular, sadly enough. It is true about the wiring and that the radio can not be replaced with an aftermarket unit, without major rewiring. It can have done, but it will be pricey. The time it takes to rewire the climate controls, and to build a new face for the system (as there are no replacement faces for this because of the non-replaceable factor. If you are unhappy with the quality of the sound, I would suggest what was mentioned above and having new speakers, tweeters, amp, and sub installed. If you can find a shop that would be willing to do a system upgrade, it would be a very pricey upgrade as this would be a long and tedious task of rewiring an entire system and everything that system is connected to. In the long run, it would be more cost effective to buy a new vehicle with a stereo you like, upgrade what you can, or live with it. Nissan really didn’t give people many options there.
