Frequently Asked Questions

Why isn't this compatible with 2011+ Murano models Nissan redesigned the Z51 Murano dashboard in 2011, integrating the HVAC controls within the head unit area. This fundamental design change makes early (2009-2010) and late (2011+) Z51 models incompatible with the same fascia kit.

How can I tell if my Murano has integrated HVAC If your climate controls (temperature, fan speed, AC button) are integrated into or directly adjacent to the head unit area rather than being in a separate panel below, you have the 2011+ integrated HVAC design and this fascia will NOT fit.

Can I verify compatibility before purchasing Yes, we REQUIRE sending a dashboard photo showing your climate control layout before purchase. This visual verification ensures you receive the correct fascia for your specific Murano dashboard design.

Does the year alone determine compatibility While 2009-2010 models typically have the compatible design and 2011+ typically have the incompatible design, visual verification is essential as there may be mid-year changes or regional variations. Always confirm with a dashboard photo.

What if I already purchased and have the wrong dashboard type This is why we strongly require dashboard photo verification BEFORE purchase. Installing an incompatible fascia will result in improper fitment and may interfere with climate control functionality.
