When upgrading your 2009–2014 Nissan Maxima A35 with an Android head unit, many owners want to know: What original functions will remain, and what will be disabled? Here’s a clear breakdown:
-
Base Trim (Low)
-
✅ CD player still works
-
✅ Radio remains functional
-
✅ Climate controls are displayed on the new screen
-
🔊 Audio is routed via AUX to the factory amplifier
-
-
Mid / High / Top Trim (Bose system)
-
❌ Original CD player will not work
-
✅ Factory Bose amplifier is retained
-
✅ Radio functions are transferred to the new Android screen
-
✅ Climate controls remain fully supported
-
In short: if you’re using the Bose system trims, you’ll lose the CD function but keep amplifier and radio integration. For base trims, the CD continues to work normally.
This upgrade ensures modern features like Android Auto, CarPlay, GPS, and streaming apps, while still preserving essential OEM functions.
