Features & Benefits

Early R51 Platform Engineering: The fascia panel is precision-molded for the 2005-2007 Pathfinder's Dash 2 configuration during the early R51 production years, ensuring exact fitment with factory panel gaps and maintaining the family SUV's robust interior design. Critical for professional installations where the pre-facelift R51 Pathfinder requires year-specific components that accommodate the simpler electrical architecture of earlier model years.

Factory Antenna Integration Maintained: The included antenna adapter ensures proper connection between your factory radio antenna and the new aftermarket headunit, maintaining strong AM/FM radio reception without signal loss. Critical for family touring and regional travel where AM/FM radio provides weather warnings, emergency broadcasts, and entertainment during long-distance highway driving across Australia.

Complete Wiring Harness Included: The vehicle-specific wiring harness connects directly to factory plugs, matching factory wire functions to the aftermarket headunit's connections. Eliminates wire identification and cutting on a platform valued for its touring reliability, ensuring long-term operation in family travel and weekend adventure environments.

Plug-and-Play Installation: All connections plug directly into factory sockets without any wire modification required. Reduces installation time in busy workshops and eliminates electrical faults that could compromise reliability during family touring where electrical failures affect safety and convenience.

Wide Headunit Compatibility: Supports premium 9-inch trapezoid headunits from Alpine, Kenwood, Pioneer, Nakamichi, and universal Android systems. Provides flexibility to match headunit features to family touring requirements—from offline GPS navigation and entertainment systems to Bluetooth communication and smartphone integration for multi-day road trips.

Modern Features for Family Touring: Brings contemporary connectivity including offline GPS navigation, Bluetooth hands-free, USB media playback, and smartphone integration to the 2005-2007 Pathfinder R51. Transforms the capable family SUV into a connected touring vehicle with modern navigation and entertainment capabilities while maintaining the platform's renowned reliability for regional travel and family adventures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my 2008 or newer Pathfinder?

No, this kit is designed for 2005-2007 models in Dash 2 configuration. For 2008-2013 Pathfinder models, you'll need the F9NS6K1 kit which includes steering wheel control retention. The 2013+ model year introduced the R52 generation requiring a completely different fascia kit.

What's the difference between this and the F9NS6K1 kit?

The F9NS6K2 is for 2005-2007 Pathfinder R51 (Dash 2) without steering wheel control retention. The F9NS6K1 is for 2008-2013 Pathfinder R51 (Dash 1) with SWC and also covers Navara D40. Choose based on your model year and whether you need SWC retention.

Does this kit retain any factory features?

This kit includes the fascia, wiring harness, and antenna adapter. Feature retention depends on your chosen headunit. Early 2005-2007 Pathfinders typically have simpler factory systems without advanced features requiring retention like steering wheel controls.

Can I add steering wheel control retention?

This kit does not include steering wheel control retention. If your 2005-2007 Pathfinder has steering wheel controls and you need them retained, you may require additional aftermarket steering wheel control interface adapters (sold separately).

What additional parts might I need for installation?

The kit includes the fascia, wiring harness, and antenna adapter. For family touring applications, consider adding a reverse camera, external GPS antenna for better satellite reception in remote areas, or additional entertainment systems depending on your expedition requirements.
