Many Murano owners try to install a new head unit themselves, only to damage the AC vents or lose steering wheel button functions. Here’s a safe, step-by-step guide to protect your dashboard and keep your features.

Step 2: Panel Removal Tips
Start from both sides of the AC vent, using a plastic pry tool. If a clip feels stuck, gently warm the area to make the plastic more flexible before prying.
Step 3: Keep All Functions Intact
Always connect the correct CANBUS module during installation—this ensures your steering wheel controls and climate display/adjustment remain fully functional. Without the right CANBUS, your AC interface may disappear.
Step 4: BOSE Compatibility Check
Before final installation, confirm your unit supports the fixed pre-amp output needed by the BOSE amp. If not, add a high-to-low converter rated for your wattage.
