One thing I discovered is that you want to avoid turning on the ignition while the passenger airbag warning light is unplugged. Doing so will set a fault in the airbag control module, and you'll end up with a flashing airbag light when you're done.

If anyone makes this mistake, there is a fairly simple reset procedure.

1. Turn key on and wait for airbag light to start blinking - turn key OFF as soon as light disappears the first time.
2. Wait 5 seconds and repeat step one TWO additional times, 5 seconds between each operation.
3. When you turn ignition on the fourth time, the light will enter a slow blink mode. Turn key OFF, wait 5 seconds, turn back on.

Your airbag control module should now be cleared of faults.

Thank you so much. I wasn't clueless on the whole process, but this cleared things up and restored my confidence 10 fold. Though I'm gonna go a step further to keep my steering wheel radio controls with a swc universal adapter.

Thanks! My kid jammed coins in the cd slot of the original stereo. Glad to have tunes again!

Dude! I'm 03:55 in and $300 in the black. Thanks for a really great video ... Very very useful. (Yes ... I'll watch to the end).

So many comments demanding more info. THANK YOU for taking your time to post this video. People need to appreciate what you GAVE and not treat you like a servant at their beck and call.

I just installed an ATOTO S8 Standard in my 2014 Xterra that came with the standard non-amplified LCD screen Panasonic Head Unit. I got the steering controls working and everything works fine. I have not done a radio install since 1992 so I had no idea what I was doing. It took a good bit of research to figure out how to connect it but now, looking back it seems so simple. If you have a 2011-2015 Xterra and it is not the Pro-X with Rockford Fosgate on the radio then you probably do not have an amplifier unless someone installed it later. Just get the FSM schematic for your Audio System and pair each wire to your new head unit. Eventually the cloud lifts and it becomes clear how easy this is. Really. It's NOT as difficult as it seems at first once you figure out the wires.

[eliweitzman]

That was extremely well done. Should be very helpful when I get around to doing this in my frontier

[jasonbunt]

Oh thanks for showing us how to wire it

[rikstang]

Can you put steering wheel controls on the steering wheel. Can you but the switch for the steering wheel?

[tedstriker]

My 2010 xterra is different, the front bezel is separated from the climate control. Only the top stereo surround has to be installed, the climate control area is not touched.

Why do you need a new dash kit? Why can’t you use the original? And why do you need to Sauter the wires?
I’m looking at installing a new radio and idk what I’m doing but it appears all I need is an adapter that connects the radio to the car.

Hello, I need help with orange wire which says 'illumination/dimmer wire' which free to connect but I'm not where to connect. My car is Nissan versa 2008 with Atoto A6 PF

[dukeritchie]

Helpful as always Redonkilaus. Thanks!

[tomadatashvili]

Is this one «ATOTO A6 Pro 7" Android Car GPS Bluetooth aptX QC 2.0 WiFi A6Y2721PRB» correctly for 2012 xterra? Or all atoto a6 is same size?

[annavictoriajohnson]

Would this unit be able to display a back up camera as well? My mother in law has an 11 frontier and really wants a back up camera so I'm trying to figure out how to get that done for her :)

[stevenebel]

Soo i have never replaced a radio before.If i already have a double din in would i need any other parts?

[markdrobney]

Great video, but how did you hook up the steering wheel controls? Thanks!

[eastrayspice]

Really helpful.Thanks for sharing the installation.

[eclecticgentleman]

Do you remember if the steering wheel wire was behind the radio? Mine doesn't have steering wheel controls. I was hoping the wire was there and I can just buy the controls for the steering wheel.
Thanks

When I got to order a stereo from crutchfield it says to prevent overheating on my new unit that I should change out my speakers or add an amplifier, do you need to do that with yours?
