For those familiar with the R50 Pathy and/or 1st gen Frontier, an audio question:
.
My '02 has the nice Bose system with the 6 CD changer, cassette deck and AM/FM. For it's time (2002) it was probably a "top of the line" system and I like the way it looks on the dash.
.
But of course, like most of us here, I now have my music on my iPhone/iPod, and my '02 stereo does not have an aux input.
.
So here's my question: Were there ever any factory head units for the R50 that had an aux input? I know that MP3 players didn't really start catching on until 2004 - 2005 or so and this was at the very end of the R50 Pathy's run, but I thought that maybe there might have been an optional system on either the R50 or maybe on the QX4 that had an aux input?
.
The reason I'm asking is that I really need to be able to use my iPhone for music, but I just don't like the way most of the modern aftermarket head units look. They're not bad, necessarily, but IMO they have a really generic "1980's" look to them that I don't like. I'm thinking that if I could find a factory unit that already had the aux input, not only would it look better, but it should literally be a "plug and play" instead of having to have adapters, sleeves, new wiring harnesses, etc.
.
So does anyone know if such a head unit ever existed? And what about the 1st gen Frontier, did it have the same head unit as the Pathfinder? If so, was there ever a Frontier that had the aux input from the factory? Ditto for the 1st gen Xterra.
.
Thanks in advance. :ylsmoke:
