AHDH-NS1 AHDH-NS1AHDH-NS1
INTRODUCTION
The AHDH-NS1 is to be used along with the AHDT-01 HD Tuner and the AHDI-
I01 import HD interface (all sold separately) in the vehicles listed above. An
iPod may also be connected by using the XIAH-IPC iPod cable (sold separate-
ly). The factory radio will control the functions of the HD Tuner and the iPod
through the buttons on the radio. Also for those radios that do not display
text, the XIA-LCD display screen (sold separately), may be added to display
the HD and iPod text information.
The AHDI-I01 emulates a factory CD Changer or an external Satellite Radio
Receiver, and on installation replaces either one.
The Nissan radios vary in what buttons they have. This manual covers as
many buttons as possible. The Radio connected to the AHDI-I01, most likely,
will not have all the buttons listed in this document. However, the definitions
of the buttons displayed on the radio will still be valid. The Nissan factory
radios fall into two categories, one that is satellite radio ready and one that
is capable of working with an external CD changer.
HARNESS PREPARATION
If you are replacing an OEM external CD Changer, the AHDH-NS1 harness jumper
wire on the 20-pin connector (the bigger of the two) must be cut. Looking at the
cable harness, the jumper wire (White) between J1 Pins 7 and 16 must be cut.
Cut this jumper wire, and store it away with insulating tape. Once this is done,
the board will emulate an OEM external CD Changer.
If you are replacing an external Satellite Receiver, no modification to the cable
harness is required.
For factory satellite radio ready radios, use this operating procedure.
To enter HD or iPod mode, press the SAT button if the radio has one. If the radio
does not have a SAT button, press the BAND button.When listening to HD radio
you can change the channel with TUNE UP or TUNE DOWN. The method of setting
resets and selecting presets is the same procedure specified in the radio instruc-
tions---to set a preset, hold the button down until you here a beep; to select a
preset, just press the desired button.
