Nissan Murano Z51 Dashboard Removal Guide for Android Head Unit Installation
A practical dashboard disassembly guide for Nissan Murano Z51 Android head unit installation. Remove the surrounding trim carefully, disconnect the factory components in sequence, and test the new system before final reassembly.
Confirm Your Murano Configuration First
Dashboard removal and wiring configuration are two different parts of the installation. Before connecting the Android system, identify whether your Murano Z51 uses the Low Trim or High Trim configuration.
Low Trim
The original factory head unit remains in the vehicle. Follow the Low Trim wiring path after dashboard disassembly.
High Trim
The original factory head unit is removed. High Trim vehicles use Type 1, Type 2 or Type 3 factory head unit configurations, so the correct wiring guide must be matched before installation.
Tools to Prepare
Plastic Trim Tools
Use plastic pry tools around visible dashboard surfaces to reduce the risk of scratches or trim damage.
Screwdriver / Socket Tools
Prepare the appropriate screwdriver and socket tools for the factory fasteners encountered during disassembly.
Parts Tray
Keep removed screws and clips organized so they return to their original positions during reassembly.
Installation Guide
Keep the wiring guide for your specific Low Trim or High Trim configuration available before connecting the Android system.
Step-by-Step Removal Overview
Power Off the Vehicle
Switch the vehicle off before disconnecting factory dashboard components or electrical connectors.
Start With the Surrounding Trim
Use a plastic trim tool around the dashboard trim surrounding the factory display and center controls.
Release the Factory Clips Carefully
Apply steady pressure close to each retaining clip. If a section does not release easily, check for an unreleased clip or fastener before applying more force.
Disconnect the Factory Panel Connectors
Once the panel is loose, access the rear connectors and release them by their locking tabs. Do not pull directly on the wires.
Remove the Required Factory Components
Continue disassembly according to the vehicle configuration. Low Trim retains the original factory head unit, while High Trim installation removes the original factory head unit.
Do Not Mix Dashboard Removal With Wiring Diagnosis
Once the dashboard is open, follow the wiring guide that matches the original vehicle configuration. Do not connect plugs simply because they appear to fit.
High Trim: original factory head unit removed, with Type 1 / Type 2 / Type 3 wiring matched to the original system.
Test the System Before Closing the Dashboard
After the Android head unit and required wiring are connected, power on the vehicle and verify the main functions before reinstalling every dashboard panel.
Audio
Confirm normal audio output and volume control.
Steering Wheel Controls
Test the supported steering wheel buttons.
Climate / Vehicle Data
Verify the expected climate and vehicle information.
Reverse Camera
Check reverse-camera switching where applicable.
