As originally fitted to the :

Nissan Almera


If you are trying to fit this CD player to a different vehicle, then you may find yourself with the Error message of "SECURE". As instead of having a conventional Radio Security Code number, this stereo is 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" will appear on the display whilst this process is in operation. If communication has been successfull, it will simply function as normal.

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

This CD player cannot therefore be transferred from one car to another, unless it has first been reset back into its original "Delivery Mode" with the internal 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 SECURE system !!

We can reset the SECURE Error message for this CD player, and return it in "Delivery Mode" 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.

This CD player is bolted in place by four bolts, and these will be hidden beneath the dashboard trim. Removal of the trim will depend largely on the vehicle it is fitted to, but should not present any real problems. Please consult your service manual if you are unsure how to go about this. Once the two bolts that secure the radio frame have been removed, the CD player will come out in a rather large lump and can then be unplugged.
