Hi all,

Long time lurker, first time post. I have a 2018 1.2 Dig-T visia with the non touch screen infotainment system.

I want to change that with a J11 sat nav system. I have bought the unit but the wiring system for the 2 is different with different plugs.

The boot which I had replaced after an accident comes with a rear camera which I want to fit into the new system.

Is there any way this is possible? Can I possibly buy some wire converter plugs so I can attach the current wiring to the new system?

Welcome to this forum.

There are several posts dealing with this upgrade - I haven't done it myself though.

Have a search through.

I briefly looked and this particular swap is not mentioned. Its a long jump from what you have to a Connect ICE Box. There are issues such as:

Does your Connect Box work fully?
Loom compatibility/ Wiring within the Looms (diagrams)
BCM control of various functions (Camera etc)
GPS Antenna

I shouldn't think thats all. You will have difficulty assigning this ICE Box to the car and which is a dealer job. Its a major security issue.

Hey cal,

Thanks for the reply. The wiring compatibility is definitely an issue hence why I wanted to check if anybody had any experience using a Universal connector or putting in a new wiring loom completely?

The GPS antenna can be purchased via eBay and put behind the dash for not too much. I’m sorry, I’m not too sure what you mean by the Nissan ICE box ?

ICE = In Car Entertainment Equipment. You certainly can lay a GPS Antenna/Amplifier module in the car...getting into the roof might be a large problem. It does need clear exposure to the sky. So it maybe limited substantially under the dash. At least 3 Sats are required for reliable tracking

If there were any connectors/cables they might be on AliExpress China?

Also. I can't remember the All Round Camera View system but am sure the CAN Bus will be used for that and other functions. The Camera View system is likely not fitted to your car...its not part of the Connect Box you have.

On the other forums you may have noticed that Key Fobs have to be reconfigured/programmed with ICE box installations....£100 job at the dealer?

Hmm I understand the issue regarding the GPS antenna, it is something I guess I will have to look into.

Regarding the 360 camera, I guess I will have to make do with the rear view camera which isn’t too bad to be honest. Just need to run the wire along the inside to behind the dash which shouldn’t be an issue. I have looked high and low for the connectors and I can’t see them on aliexpress either.

£100 to have the ICE integrated with the key fob isn’t too bad, I can live with that
