Hey all. Well, I'm not exactly a Xterra owner, although I would have liked to be. I was shopping around last year to buy one and when it was all done and over with, it turns out that I could buy a Pathfinder for cheaper than the Xterra (Because of interest rates at the time). However, I am also looking for the CD changer connectors on the back of my stock unit (2001 Pathfinder XE, base stereo), when I came across this post.

It looks like the stock stereo for me is the same as the stereo for the Xterra SE, at least all the connectors look the same and I have some diagrams that say the pins are the same as well. However I noticed that somebody said the stock Xterra SE stereo was a Panasonic, when my stock stereo is a Clarion. So they look similar but I'm not sure if they are.

It looks as though the plugs for power and speakers have the same connections as mine does, and my CD changer plug has the same number of pins and is located in the same spot, but I couldn't find any diagrams for my CD changer plugs anywhere (including Nissan).

Anybody know if this is in fact the same stereo and has the same CD changer plugs? If so, I understand how the connections were made on the 8 pin DIN (Xterra XE), would the connections be made in the same way for this different plug?

Any info would be helpful, thanks all!
