A vehicle-specific head unit installation kit for the Nissan Skyline V35 (2001-2004), the FP8597 is finished in silver to match the factory dashboard and includes a complete HVAC climate control panel replacement, mounting brackets, and antenna adaptor for a single or double DIN aftermarket head unit installation.
The Aerpro FP8597 is a fascia installation kit designed specifically for the Nissan Skyline V35 from 2001-2004. It provides a complete replacement of the factory climate control panel area in a silver painted finish that matches the factory dashboard, with a recessed DIN opening accommodating both single and double DIN aftermarket head units. The internal aperture measures 173mm wide by 98mm high. The kit retains full HVAC functionality in both factory single and dual climate control models, and retains the factory air vents in their original location.
The FP8597 includes a fascia kit with integrated HVAC panel, mounting brackets, and an antenna adaptor. A comprehensive instruction manual and all necessary installation hardware are included. To further simplify the installation, the Aerpro SWNI3C steering wheel control interface or APP0120 vehicle ISO harness adaptor (both sold separately) can be used to connect the factory Nissan wiring harness and convert it to a universal ISO connector.
If the vehicle was factory-fitted with navigation, a replacement non-navigation lid (genuine part) will need to be sourced and used to blank the hole from the existing navigation screen location before the FP8597 can be installed.

Retains Full HVAC Functionality - Single and Dual Climate Control: The FP8597 retains full heating, ventilation, and air conditioning functionality for both factory single and dual climate control configurations of the Skyline V35, with no loss of climate control operation after installation.
Retains Factory Air Vents in Original Location: The custom design of the FP8597 allows the factory air vents to remain in their original positions within the dashboard, preserving the OEM interior layout and airflow characteristics.

Oversized Storage Pocket: The FP8597 includes an oversized storage pocket below the DIN opening, providing a useful storage area within the dashboard after installation.
Antenna Adaptor Included: The FP8597 includes an antenna adaptor to ensure the factory antenna connection from the Nissan Skyline V35 interfaces correctly with the aftermarket head unit's antenna input.
High-Grade ABS Plastic Construction: The fascia is manufactured from high-grade ABS plastic for long-term durability and dimensional stability in the in-vehicle environment.
Comprehensive Instruction Manual and All Hardware Included: A comprehensive instruction manual and all necessary mounting hardware are included, supporting a complete DIY installation.
