What kind did you get? I'm think I may want to do this later down the line.

Me, almost. I've got all the parts on order and I will be installing myself.

Aftermarket is the best way to go. It's their business. My previous vehicle was a Acura MDX with Navi. It's a great system (Alpine) but of course Acura had to buy the data and have their own DVD ROM's made so they could gouge the customer on upgrades. The only problem was the advertised "every fall" upgrades was delayed for three years. I like the after market much better.

I am going to install the Kenwood DDX7015 Head Unit, DV4100 Navigation unit, Sirius Tuner, and microphone for voice commands. Now I am just waiting for the XE Lid Cluster to come in.

I got an aftermarket 7'' lcd screen that has been molded into my dash , a dvd player and a playstation2. The navigation unit that I will be putting in is on order and should come in next week.

Wow...wait a sec. How in the world did you get a custom screen like that molded to fit like that?? I would love to have this type of custom work done but I dont know where too turn. How did you do it and what kind of cost is there in the nav system like the one you have pictured?

On the SE or LE the face plate around the stereo is "very" custom for lack of a better phrase. But on the XE it's a dual din opening. So to add a custom radio or head unit to the TItan you need the XE lid cluster if you don't already have it.

Nissan's Part number for the XE lid cluster is 68260-7S000

I would love to find out how that guy got a custom fit LCD screen in his dash. That is sweet.

A custom install place that is good with fiberglassing can do it. Take a look at this install that LordReed has

Do your steering wheel and rear seat controls still work? They did a nice job!!!
