Overview:
The NTX Nissan/Infiniti is a touch screen Navigation interface for compatible 2008 to current Nissan and Infinity
vehicles. The module will also allow the integration of a video source or a front facing camera. During the installation
the original color LCD monitor will be replaced. The installation is performed entirely AT THE RADIO and not at the monitor.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY LEAD TO PRODUCT FAILURE OR AN AIRBAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT.

right that holds the monitor trim in place.
These screws were hidden by the HVAC
panel.
Pull the monitor shroud up and back towards the rear of

Screen Replacement FX.
1. Follow the directions on the previous page under "Screen Replacement All Vehicles except FX" to remove the
factory monitor from the mounting bracket.
2. The original monitor in the FX has an oversized monitor housing. In order to replace the original monitor with the
new touch screen monitor you must use the included (FX Kit only) trim, shims and longer replacement screws to
center the new monitor in the mounting brackets.
3. Reinstall the new monitor and mounting bracket back into the vehicle and place the included (FX Kit only) trim
fascia around the new monitor. Note: The fascia is a pressure fit and does not require adhesive to stay in place.
Plug-and-play installation is performed at the radio for ALL VEHICLES.
At this stage the monitor should be reinstalled in the vehicle with the factory connector plugged into the monitor. If you have failed
to follow these instructions and ANY aftermarket harness is plugged in at the screen, disconnect it and insert the factory plug. In
vehicles where the screen mounts behind the fascia, like the Armada, the screen can be reattached with the factory screws and
mounted permanently. In vehicles like the G37 where the radio top mounts are in the same location as the monitor bottom screws,
reattach the top mechanical hinge mount but leave the bottom retaining screws out until the installation is completed and only
reattach during final reassembly.

Installation of the T-harnesses for all vehicles
1. Plug the female end of the 24 pin Video T-Harness into the factory male 24 pin plug behind the radio.
2. Plug the female end of the 20 pin Power T-harness into the factory male 20 pin plug behind the radio.
3. Run both the extension harnesses with the 22 pin and 18 pin black mini Molex ends to a location near the radio
with enough room to properly house and mount the NTX-NIS/INF integration module.
4. If installing a video source, or a front or camera, continue with instruction 5. If no camera or video source is being
installed skip to instruction 8.

5. If installing a video source or front camera, connect the RCA from the device to the NTX-NIS/INF interface at the
"video in" RCA connection. As long as your device does not draw in excess of 1 AMP you may connect the power
and ground of the device to the wires on the 20 to 20 pin T-harness labeled "ground" and "12v+ CAM out". If in
doubt measure the current demand or use a relay.
6. If installing an aftermarket reverse camera, connect the RCA from the rear view camera to the NTX-NIS/INF
interface at the "video in" RCA connection. When installing the rear view camera, run an additional wire with the
power, ground and RCA from the camera that you will tie in to the reverse wire at the rear of the vehicle (if not
found in the 32 pin connector –see graphic on page 11). This wire will connect to the PINK “INPUT”wire on the 20
pin to 20 pin T-harness. Whenever the PINK "INPUT" wire sees 12v (+), the video input will be seen automatically
on the monitor. Attach the power and ground of the rear view camera to the Ground & "12v+ CAM out" at the 20
pin to 20 pin Power T-harness. If the rear view camera requires more than 1 amp of current make sure to use a
relay.
7. AREAS WITH TUNNELS, PARKING GARAGES AND TALL BUILDINGS (OPTIONAL). The NTX54 navigation system
operates via a technology called "dead reckoning", utilizing only GPS satellite information to detect speed and
location. In some areas with a large amount of obstacles that may block the GPS antennas ability to receive GPS
coordinates, such as tunnels, parking garages and tall buildings, the NTX54's performance may be affected. If you
experience issues in these areas we recommend connecting the vehicle VSS (speed sense wire) and the vehicle
reverse signal to the "VSS in" and "VRS in" at the 20 pin to 20 pin T-harness.
8. Plug the 22 pin extension harness (black molex plug) into the NTX54-Nissan interface port labeled ‘Screen’.
9. Plug the 18 pin extension harness (black molex plug) into the NTX54-Nissan interface port labeled ‘Radio’.
10. Plug the black 24 pin molex of the Navigation harness into the NTX54-Nissan interface port labeled ‘Navigation’.
11. If the vehicle DOES NOT have Bose, the turn-by-turn directions and all audio commands will be heard automatically
through the driver's front speaker. You may skip to step 13 for all NON BOSE sound systems.
12. If the vehicle has a Bose sound system you must use the audio IN and audio OUT wires (in the POWER harness) to
break open the center channel speaker. Refer to the diagram below.
