possible new factory radio options

Well the cube is out and it seems that thier base model comes with an auxi in. The radio looks identical to the Versa radio. I am betting that they are interchangable. So anyone looking for a radio with aux in might want to check them out. I'm assuming in a few month these will flood ebay and cost much less then the SL radios.

 

[superskunk]

there is a possibility that this could work in the versa, hopefully it would be plug and play.....

 

[robj80]

I am pretty sure the SL cube and the SL versa have the exact same radio. If this is true this would prove that the cube and V radios are interchangable.

Now only if the auto temperature control panel from the Cube is compatible with the V then I'll be all over it.

I bet you can get it to work but it will require grabbing all the sensors in the car and there will be quite a few of them. Converting from manual to auto climate control is nothing new in the Nissan world. Coming from 240 world alot of people grabbed the Jdm CC and installed in the USDM 240's.

 

[superskunk]

its only a few sensors, doesnt sound to hard to do.... but then there is always some pesky little problem that will plauge you....

My radio looks a bit different than that one. To me, mine seems to be wider than the picture of the Cube's. Notice how I have the seek buttons on the left and right, and in the cube model they don't have that. It seems as though the Versa's is a bit wider. What do you think? (And mine is an SL radio)

 

[robj80]

You have an sl radio. I was talking about the base cube vs the base versa radio. They are the same except the aux input.

Now the upgraded cube radio is the same as the SL versa radio except it now has ipod control.

Now the real question is can you get the ipod control and wiring into a Versa? I'm betting they all interchange. I would go as far as betting the 2010 Versa's are going to come out with the same radios.

also the cube base radio isnt 6 disk cd changer

 

[iluvmyVersa08]

Oh okay. Sorry didn't realize the first picture was for the S model.
What do you mean by ipod control? I have the aux input for my ipod, but what exactly is the ipod control? Is this where you plug in your ipod to the radio and then you can control the ipod from the radio controls?

 

[robj80]

You are correct iluvmyversa08. I believe the screen will even read the song titles, but I'm not positive. The plug for the ipod is not shown in the pic. It's a seperate wire.

 

[Hschlick84]

Well, shouldn't the auto temp control be plug 'n play from the Cube to the Versa? If not, what needs changing out?

I also love the fact that the hazard button is all red on the Cube. JDM all the way!

 

[Hschlick84]

There's been numerous people wondering which parts from the Cube are backwards compatible with the Versa.

The following parts are compatible with the Cube and Versa:

- Struts
- Springs
- Brake Pads
- Rotors
- Strut Bar
- S/SL Radio
- Wheel Covers
- Brake/gas pedals
- Interior accent lighting (footwell/cupholder)

If there are any parts that are not compatible or are missing, please feel free to make changes if necessary or comment.

The more cubes I see on the road and commercials the more I like it. Whoever changed the thread title great idea. Wonder if there are any cubes here or abroad with rear disc brakes.

 

[tKowReCkLeSs]

they mean there is another plug for ipod's only where they can charge them and use the radio to control the music on the ipod.

 

[robj80]

Here is the ipod plug on a cube.

Anyone know if the Cube wheels are compatible with the Versa? I checked out the specs on Nissan's website and it says...

Wheels
- Cube 1.8/S 15" x 6.0 with bolt on wheel covers.
- Cube SL/Krom 16" x 6.0 8 spoke alloy wheels.

Tires
- Cube 1.8/S P195/60HR15 Toyo™ A20 all-season tires.
- Cube SL/Krom P195/55VR16 Toyo™ A20 all-season tires.

I guess the wheel covers for the Cube will work on the V, not sure about the alloy wheels though.

 

[Hschlick84]

Other Cube parts to check out and see if they're compatible with the Versa...

- Hyper Daytime Running Lights
- Automatic on/off headlights

These would be great features to have but we need to check out the parts and see if they're plug 'n play with the Versa.

 

[localnemesis]

i think DRL sucks ^_^v auto shut off headlight is good so you can still see where youre going once you leave your car...

 

[superskunk]

i would expect to see a lot of the newer features in possibly the 2010 versa....
