Nissan Mid-Line Radio
Blaupunkt

As originally fitted to the :

Nissan Primera
Year 1999 > 2003



If you are trying to fit this radio to a different vehicle, then you may find yourself with the Error message of "SECURE". As well as having a conventional Radio Security Code number, this stereo is also electronically paired, or "Married" to the engine management system of the vehicle it came out of using very sophisticated technology.

When it is first powered up, it will communicate with the vehicle, and a message of "WAIT" may appear on the display whilst this process is in operation. If communication has been successful, it will prompt for the Code number to be entered in the normal way.

However, if removed and refitted into a different vehicle other than the original one, it will not recognize the encrypted identification of the new car, and will instead display an error message of "SECURE".

This Radio cannot therefore be transferred from one car to another, unless it has first been reset back into its original "Delivery Mode" with the data memory reprogrammed for use with the new vehicle.

Nissan Dealers may tell you that this stereo cannot be reprogrammed to go into another vehicle, but then thats what they said about other models, before we managed to reset the system !!

We can reset the SECURE Error message for this radio, and return it with a Code number allowing it to be used in a different vehicle, but you will need to send the unit to our workshop for this work to be carried out. Approx turnaround time is 48 hours from receipt to dispatch.

Removal of the radio is fairly straightforward. The removal tools are inserted into the two round holes at the sides of the fascia until resistance is felt. The tools must then be pushed a further 10mm to disengage the release mechanism. The radio can then be withdrawn and the leads unplugged.
