94 nissan XE Pickup Replacing Stock Stereo harness compatibility question?

[Rodeorulz]

My Stock 94 stereo (casette radio) does not display any information, so I was going to replace it with a stock factory unit from a maxima or sentra? What years can I use where the harness will line up. Can I install a CD player from 1999? Or does it have to be from 1994 as well. Thanks

I found out first hand that my 92 Sentra radio won't fit in a Nissan truck. The harness is the same design with different wiring set up.

My advice buy aftermarket. You can get good cd players for $100 dollars.

I've installed hundreds of systems (professionally) and the Nissan p/u is by far the easiest (I own three of them).

Go to Wal-mart and buy the $8 wire adapter and you won't have to splice into your factory wiring.

You can even shop on crutchfield.com and they will tell you everything you need to know.

You sound like you know a lot about hardbody wiring harnesses. I live in NYC and somebody stole my 97 hardbody tail light assembly. They just cut the harness and didn't leave me the connector at the end of the harness. Of course Nissan only sells the whole harness, not just the connection. Any suggestions?

find a you pull it junkyard, cut off what you need and splice it in
