I don't think they make one for the Nissan Almera ?
I am guessing the Nissan Almera N16 Radio Is a Blaupunkt

ok maybe i need to be clearer
i bought this
http://www.crutchfield.com/S-qKu4gTZSOLP/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?search=127SWIJACK&i=127SWIJACK
as i stated, im changeing the radio in my car so i dont require the info on current radio.
The swi jack is compatible with the nissan almera, i just need wiring instructions.
any help would be great

Check out www.celsusice.co.uk I am sure there is an adaptor on there.

No the adapter should work, I just dont know the wireing schematics. I think i'm meant to attach the wires with resitors to the while wire.
attach the power. Well sure ill try and if it doesnt work ill try every possible combo.

so basicaly you all know dick about electronics.
Are you telling me that none of you ever bought a alpine radio for your car? And that none of you ever wanted to keep your steering wheel controls?
your all n00bs, why are you even typing in here? to say i have an almera? whatever this site blows and i have no regrest in getting banned for saying that your all a bunch of plebs.

this blows. it really does i bought this for my car, Knowing it works and nobody knows anything at all.

well there are many after market steering wheel adapters for the Almera and not all of them are the same. if its a half decent one it should tell you have to connect it up

steering wheel controls are good but its too much hassle to get them working and beside the point its only, what 30cm's away ?coadyj said:
Hmmm, missed this thread first time around.
I looked into doing this a good while ago but got nowhere with it, I could find no information anywhere on the Almera remote system, I could find no adapters and suppliers did not return any information.
It just became more hassle than it was worth so I gave up.
I did not see this particular adapter but from the reviews it looks like it's not that great anyway.
In any case it comes with full (albeit apparently confusing) instructions and has online installation instructions for supported cars.
Had a link to those instructions been provided I may have a look to see if I can help if the OP wants to act a little more like a grown-up and less like a kid stamping their foot and whining.
This is an owners club forum - we help each other when we can and some members are very knowledgeable but this is a specific problem regarding a specific adapter for a specific headunit in a specific car and the chances of anyone knowing the answer straight-off with very little information provided is slim at best. The chances of anyone wanting to work out the answer for someone who has a hissy-fit and insults them when they don't come up with an immediate answer is even slimmer.

autoleads DONT make a direct plug in patch lead for the n16 almera!
yes that will work but ull need to splice into ur connector
the only way ull figure it out is to plug the unit in and try the wirings on the block connector to find out wot 1 does wot.
like someone else said, any reason for the controls? as its only 30cm away (and generally if u rest ur hand on the gear stick u can reach it with ur fingers)
good luck tho

i do appoligies for my hissle fit. It wasnt meant to be aimed at you guys and i do apreciate what your saying. Ive just had a nightmare day and was really pissed of with a few diffrent things.
I am aware of the site, but unfortunity nobody has written a set of insrtuctions for the almera. just the american brands.
The only thing i wonder is that many people must have tryed doing this before, So how come people dont seem to know about it?
I was told that i could bench test the unit with a 12v power suply so what i might do is figure it out and i would be happy to give you all the info you need.
Its true that the setting up of this unit is difficult, but not impossible. Most of the setting involve just attaching all three wires to one of the PACs wires and wireing up the rest. I will do my best to figure out what to do.

is the website for nissan, but only seems to be american models.
I have the blaupunkt radio and the SWR is the standered european one. I think all models from 2000 up have the same remote, i could be wrong though.

you should of brought one of these ones it plugs straight into the original socket so no cutting and modding wires is involved. I would not test the interface without instructions as this could lead to blowing the interface without you knowing then you will be there working it out for ages and once you got the correct cables it will not work still as the interface is blownScott1s said:
None of the Nissan specific instructions look right for my 2000 Almera though many look tantalizingly close.
Mine has 3 wires in the original remote connector, it looks like the green (pin 20) and green/white (pin 21) are power and green/orange (pin 22) is ground.
Further up and past a connector these become red, yellow and blue wires respectively and from the interface instructions I suspect we should be using those wires rather than the green ones at the harness.
The buttons on the remote are two groups wired in serial with resistors between them. Pressing a button shorts to ground so I guess the original head unit must work out what button was pressed from the voltage it can send out out through pin 20 or 21.
From the interface instructions it looks like that works out what button was pressed by the voltage it can send out on it's white wire.
Based on the instructions for other models and if I had to guess I'd say we need to put a 47ohm resistor at the end of one of the original power wires and an 150 ohm resitor on the other original power wire, connect the other ends of those resistors to the interface's white wire and then ground the original blue wire to the headunit harness ground.
After that it *should* just be a case of wiring the interface to ground and 12v ignition power on the headunit harness, programming the interface then plugging in the interface jack plug to the headunit.
At this point, though, I'm just guessing - I'm no electrician and without some confirmation I'd treat my opinion with a huge pinch of salt (and thick rubber gloves).
I've mailed the manufacturer my guess at the setup and a schematic of the remote circuit, I'll keep you all informed of any reply.

Pfff - Cruchfield were no use at all - just said they don't ship outside the US, don't provide warranty outside the US and aren't interested in any vehicles not sold in bulk in the US. Basically told me to bugger-off with my request for info.
I've mailed the manufacturers directly instead.

www.celsusice.co.uk has one of the jacks too, I wonder if because there are brithish if they know how to install one.

You will find the specific one on this link Here It is not specific to teh Almera as the same wheel remote was used on Almera, Primera, X_Trail and prob others too. I think - if memory serves - ASC2644 is the one for the N16 but should be easy enough to find out by looking at the plug. I also found these guys to be very helpful and reasonable for getting stuff.Good luck - and great hissy fit by the way!!
