dlupien said:Thanks! I have everything coming in on Friday so I can take care of the project this weekend. Wish me luck!
On a side note, how hard do you think it will be to reinstall the stock head unit for resale etc?
dlupien said:I was thinking more along the lines of doing an install on a leased vehicle. Obviously not having the stock radio installed at lease turn in might be an issue, right?
I haven't had the chance to install the voltage regulator and get the backup camera working, but it's still on the to-do list. I have the regulator and I know the pinouts from other threads... I just have to find the time.dlupien said:Any update on the Sony install aarond12? I am actually looking to install that exact same unit into my leaf using the crutchfield kit. Where you able to get the rear view camera to work? How does the unit compare in battery drain to the stock radio?
aarond12 said:I just (mostly) finished the Sony XAV-AX100 radio in my 2015 LEAF "S". For the most part, it was simple. I got a kit from Crutchfield which included the bracket, wiring harness, antenna adapter, and hands-free adapter (same one that others talked about above).

... If you look at the vehicle specific instructions available from PAC (the other steering wheel control brand available), they give you detailed instructions on wires that have to spliced or jumpered on connector "Nissan32BT" (in the trunk: right rear trim panel). It's real convenient to get to the as the connector is buried behind a plastic trim panel that you have to remove about 4 other trim pieces to get to it. The reason you have to do this is because the Bluetooth module is located in the back of the car and the steering wheel buttons are connected directly to it, then the module sends a modified signal to the radio, but you have to bypass the BT module to make it work with the interface that connects to the pioneer. This modification is needed to make either the m
axxiss or the PAC interface to work. (you also have to connect a second remote wire to the interface if you haven't already)
Refer to the instructions here for working with that one connector: http://www.pac-audio.com/SWI/SWIAppGuide.aspx?appguideid=651&swiModel=Leaf&swiYear=2013&swiMake=Nissan&swiProduct=SWI-PS&swiRadioManu=Pioneer&swiOptions=Radio%20+%20BT
The wiring is the same on my 2015 as the 2013 in the link.
Let me know if you have any questions... It's been about a year since I did mine... Might have to look back at my notes from it.
Gregoryestes said:Any ideas if you can just put Leaf SV/SL factory radio in a S model with touch screen and navigation
Gregoryestes said:Hi all. I apologize if this has been addressed in another thread. I just have a simple question regarding swapping radios. I’m not looking for a different radio or aftermarket radio. I simply want to take the factory radio from my 2015 S model and replace it with the SV factory radio. I know the climate controls are also involved in the trim so I’d probably have to replace that as well. Any thoughts?
