A 2014 Murano SV owner in Canada spent nearly CAD$700 (including installation) on an Android 12 head unit, expecting to enjoy CarPlay and a crisp backup camera. Instead, it turned into a nightmare. Here’s his story—and what you can learn from it.

Money Spent, Still No Sound
The seller promised BOSE compatibility, but after installation, there was no audio. Even after paying two different workshops for labor, the issue couldn’t be solved. The cause? The head unit’s output signal didn’t match the BOSE amplifier’s requirements.
Feature Loss
On top of having no sound, steering wheel controls and climate control functions stopped working. Eventually, the owner gave up and bought a stick-on CarPlay screen. It didn’t look great, but at least it worked.
Lessons Learned
-
Always confirm your head unit supports fixed pre-amp output for BOSE
-
Ensure you have the correct CANBUS for your Murano
-
Choose a seller that provides installation support and tested compatibility
