Any idea what the 8 pin DIN connection is for on the back of the 2000 XE stock radio? It looks like it would connect to a cd changer, but this head unit doesn't have the controls. Any ideas?

Thanks...I had seen this in an earlier post. On the XE (double DIN height) deck, there is a also a round 8 pin female DIN connection.

You know. I wonder how complicated that would be to turn that into an auxilary input. Just need to find out exactly what 8,9,10 do. I think they are the ones that send the conotroling function to the changer. Just need to see what has to be seen by the deck to allow the input signal to be allowed to pass through.
It does look like there are 2 din plugs on the back.

As far as I know, the deck has no logic. I figure that the plug allows you to piggy back an in-dash 6 disk changer or tape deck that have their own controls (just provides aux input), but there is no physical space in the dash for these components. Go figure...

I bought my radio service manual from www.pacparts.com, it was about $7 +shipping. This will have the pinouts. The 2000SE was a Panasonic. Hope this helps Richard

The 2000 XE CD AM/FM radio is made by Clarion. Model No PN-2218H. I can't find it listed on the Clarion site or www.pacparts.com I'll post the pin out once I find it. I'm looking for it myself so I can run my computer sound through the unit.

Well, Pacific Parts finally sent me my service manual. Here are the pinouts for the DIN: And Molex type ports: Any ideas on how this works? It states in the manual that the DIN input goes to a cd controller IC and then to the volume controller. It doesn't say anything about how to allow throughput on the speaker channels. I tried just running the sound in, but this doesn't work. There has to be some kind of input from the source that tells the head unit to let the sound through.

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!

Well, I've searched around for the connector for this cd changer input and I can't find anything except Nissan for $70. Anyone know of a place where you might be able to get this connector? I was thinking a junk yard, but what are the chances that the stereo and cd changer would still be in the car....not very likely.
I would hate to have to solder the wires straight into the pins.

OK, so I can't find this plug, except for the Original Nissan one, but I think I have found another way around. I found some individual molex pins that I will be able to use to connect to the head unit, that way I don't have to solder right to it. Now, I can't be bothered to buy the manual from www.pacparts.com because once I convert in the US to Canadian dollar difference, play the duty and shipping, I might as well just by a new fricking head unit! So....because the first pict in this post has the EXACT connectors as mine, plus the regular head unit connections are EXACTLY the same, I am going to assume that the CD changer input is the same as well (has the same pins). Now, what will it take to hook this baby up so I have input thru the CD Changer?? I understand the audio inputs, but what do I need to made the head unit "switch-on" to allow the audio to come thru the input? I understand how it works with the 8pin DIN, but this 12 pin molex has more connections that I am not sure about. If someone can give me some direction here, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all, and keep up all the great posts!
