Vehicle fit and purpose

This Metra 40-NI12 antenna adaptor connects a factory Nissan antenna cable to an aftermarket radio. It is intended for owners of 07-Up Nissan vehicles who are replacing the original head unit and need to retain AM/FM reception without rewiring the roof or fender antenna.

Connector compatibility

The adaptor bridges the specific factory antenna plug found in compatible Nissan models to the standard Motorola-style jack on most aftermarket stereos. This single interface match decides whether the part will work; if the vehicle uses a different factory connector the adaptor cannot be used.

Installation context

The adaptor plugs inline between the existing antenna lead and the new radio, requiring no power, grounding or additional modules. It frees the installer from sourcing a separate antenna cable or modifying the vehicle harness, leaving the original antenna mast and coaxial run intact.
