Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this for a 2011 Nissan Rogue, knowing that the style of the dash had changed slightly. Not to worry, this does work perfectly in the current year's model as well, although the position is slightly higher than that shown in the photo, but not by much.
The instructions on this are pretty abysmal, even for the prior years. It leaves out steps and while you can figure it out, it makes the job more difficult.
The instructions for 2011 should read:
1. Using a dash removal tool or a rigid piece of flat plastic (do not use metal), carefully pry up the shifter bezel, starting closest to the rear and then working to the two froward clips. These are quite stubborn, but once you have one out, the others are easier. Remove and set aside.
2. Using the dash tool, carefully pry out the climate control panel. Start at the bottom left and right, then once those have been removed, lift up and gently work out the panel until free. It's not necessary to remove the connections, though you'll have to move the sifter lever to L to allow enough room to remove the screws in the next few steps.
3. Gently pull up on the radio and vent trim panel. The first two clips will pop out and you'll be able to then lift the panel enough to expose the screws for the radio.
4. Remove the four silver screws holding in the radio, two above and two below the unit. Be sure to use a magnetic screwdriver so you don't lose the screws in the dash itself.
5. Gently pull out the radio a few inches. ON the right side, you will see two silver Torx screws. Use a Torx bit to remove these.
Place the 'bottom' bracket over the two screw holes and replace the screws. If you didn't take the radio/vent trim out all the way, this can require some maneuvering, but it's not bad.
6. Slide the radio and attached bracket back into the dash, placing the radio bracket holes over the mounting pegs, then replacing all four screws.
7. Replace the radio/vent trim, taking care to make sure the bracket is on the right side between the trim and the dash.
8. Snap the climate control panel back into place.
9. Replace the shifter bezel, tilting the front in and then snaping down the back.
10. Attach the second piece of the bracket with the supplied wingnuts.
Fit is very good - about what you'd expect from a custom vehicle-specific mount.
Deducted one star because of the instructions, but otherwise a good, well-made product. Delivery from this vendor was prompt and on-time.
