The Audio Auxiliary Jack found in your Nissan enables you to listen to your favorite podcasts, audiobooks, or music from a digital media source — including phones, portable CD players, and designated mp3 players.
Your Audio Auxiliary Jack, also known as the Auxiliary Input or Auxiliary Port, is charged with receiving transmitted audio data from a media player and relaying that data to your Nissan's audio system.
Depending on the year and model of your Nissan, your specific Audio Auxiliary Jack have a standard 3.5 mm audio input socket, a USB socket, SD card slot, or a combination of the three.
If your Nissan features a standard 3.5 mm socket, it is compatible with standard 3.5mm auxiliary audio cables and can connect to most media players that have a corresponding headphone jack.
If your Nissan's Audio Auxiliary Jack has a USB port, it works by transmitting audio data from your device to a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). Streaming audio through USB offers better sound quality by eliminating unwanted noise in the audio signal chain. A USB enabled Audio Auxiliary Jack requires the use of supported USB cables.
If your Nissan's Audio Auxiliary Jack has an SD card slot you can fill an SD card with MP3 files of your choice. If your Nissan is equipped with an SD card port, reference your owner’s manual to ensure you choose a compatible card size.
Replacing your Nissan’s Audio Auxiliary Jack at home is possible. However, it could demand special parts and removal of interior components, including interior console panels, center console components, interior side panels, the navigational system unit, the entertainment head unit, the gear shifter, or dashboard components. Therefore, you should make sure that you purchase an Audio Auxiliary Jack intended for your Nissan's year and model.
To ensure a seamless fit and excellent sound quality, purchase genuine OEM parts for your Nissan. Should you wish to put your Audio Auxiliary Jack installation in the hands of an auto repair expert, turn to your trusted Nissan service and repair center.
This Audio Auxiliary Jack, part 283181ME0A is compatible with Nissan Altima 2009-2013. See the What This Fits tab for more information.
