The GRKNS01 installaon kit allows for the retenon of the vehicle’s steering wheel controls and helps maintain
the original aesthec of the interior when installing a new car stereo. The GRKNS01 gives you everything you
need for a complete install in one box. The components of this kit are compable for the Nissan Qashqai (Visia
& Acenta, 2014-2017) with Visteon/Bosch factory stereos. The wiring harness and interface will help retain the
steering wheel controls and phone buon funconality. It also helps retain original vehicle sengs as well as
USB and Aux funconality (if vehicle is equipped). Supplied with Honda OEM specic connectors.

1. Take the original climate control panel as well as the new fascia panel. Line up the jagged retaining clips
with the boom clips of the new fascia, and when thread through, clip into place to make on piece.
2. Take the 6x clips within the kit and aach them to the rear posts of the new fascia panel.
3. Aach the brackets to either side of the radio. When aached, roughly test t the radio and bracket
combinaon into the dashboard and test with the new fascia, doing this, you can best measure whether
the brackets need moving forwards/backwards.
4. With the bracketry aligned, and the “Stereo Installaon” process is complete, you can then screw the
head unit into place. Then nish the installaon by re-connecng the climate control panel and clipping
the new fascia panel over top.
1. Using a panel removal tool, pry away the passenger side trim panel located on the dashboard. This will
free up the le side of the radio.
2. Use the panel removal tool to lever out the climate control panel located underneath the main head
unit. Take care to thread out the jagged retaining clips. Once free, disconnect all the wiring.
3. Take a rm hold of the panel located between the head unit and the steering wheel column and pull it
out of place to free up the right side of the radio.

connecons between the stereo and the vehicles pre-exisng connector.
5. Aach the Red & Black RCA connectors from the harness to the back of the new stereo.
4. Aach the antenna adapter to the vehicles pre-exisng connecon and the back of new stereo.
6. Aach USB connector to the original vehicles USB connecon (if applicable).
1. Dependent on your model of vehicle, you will need to select one of the 2x harnesses provided within
