BUMP
Hello all, another lazy cheapskate here. My K11's LCD display has given up the ghost and I too would like a cheap CD player and also preferably keep everything OEM.
K12 CD players are dirt cheap at the moment, so I'm wondering whether it's just a straight swap?
I only listen to Radio 4 and Classic FM when hooning about in my Micra, so I don't exactly need an OMGXPLOD30"BASSPOWAH Halfords special..

Cheers for the BUMP would be interesting to know? I think the back is iso but will it fit in the space?
I assume this is the stereo you are talking about:
If so, then I am almost 100% sure you can fit a this stereo into a K11 using only a wiring harness adaptor.
This is the back of the stereo:
The pictures are not of my stereo (sadly). Like both of yourselves I am strictly into OEM parts upgrades, not OMGz MODdiNg/StAncE/Dr0PPed 2 DA Dek motoring.
When I was younger I did fit a Halfords OMGz XPL0D yO! and as continues to serve its purpose I shant change it, though I am very tempted just for that OEM upgrade look. I may just buy one for the hell of it.
Funnily enough, I have managed to find myself with a Blaupunkt K11 CD player which came in one of My Rovers. Sadly the LCD display has never worked since I got it although the radio and CD work fine, but I still have it and shall get it fixed, one day.....

I am unsure of this? might be something for the K12 boys and girls to answer? i still haven't took the plunge to try it out.
If they are tied into the ECU/NATS then alot of these radios would be worthless. Theres always a fair few of these for sale on the ebay ranging from £30 to around £90+ and they do sell. All of these Nissan CD players have codes for them (unless they have been disabled) so also tying them into ECU/NATS sounds like overkill, not impossible though.
I'm pretty sure I have seen a couple of these radios installed in K11s as I have also seen Almera radios of the same era in K11s but dont know if they were working. No need for splicing wires, a universal adaptor will do, these radios already have the universal double connectors (by the red 10 amp fuse in the pic) the top connector I think is simply for the CD multi-changer. Codes often come with the stereo anyway so I cant forsee a problem, however, doesnt mean there wouldnt be one.
I'll grab myself one of these radios when I get around to it and see if it works in my K11. If it doesnt work, I'll wang up on ebay or throw it in my garage.
