Replacement part# for Overhead consoles

[jrm5f2]

Hello Club Armada! This forum has been a life saver for me so I thought I should share what I have found out about this particular subject regrading Overhead consoles breaking. In my first post I taught how an overhead console could be repaired, see thread http://www.clubarmada.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17529 for more information on that. Today I am going to talk about just replacing it if it has gotten beyond repairable. If your console is broken and you have went to the dealer to see about getting a replacement for it, I can assure you that the dealer has told you it is going to be around $1200 to $1500 dollars or more. The reason that they give is that when they look at there computers it shows them that the whole piece is for sale instead of the bezel console itself. I am here to let you know that this is not entirely true. You can actually purchase just the bezel console (plastic) piece by itself. I have verified this with about three Nissan parts department and have look at the diagrams. One thing that I should mention is that if you go to the dealership and give them this part number they will probably say that this is for an armada with a DVD system. The only difference that I have seen in the two pieces, is that one comes with the drop down box (where the lcd is suppose to go) and one does not not (which explains why they say this one is for the DVD system only, because if you purchases this it will not come with the empty drop down box). Don't be alarm by this, remember that you are going to strip out your old overhead console of it's parts and put them on the new one. The reason why I mention this is because the part number only shows up on the console with dvd. I will upload pics of the lcd screen once I have it to show you what I am talking about. Anyway here are the part numbers for the overhead console back and front.

2008 Nissan
Roof Bezel Console (Rear) This is just the plastic piece.
96939-ZQ02D Price: $240 - 319.25

Roof Console (Front) This comes with everything including the lights
26430-ZQ00A Price: $348-446.03
you can actually interchange with models years as far back as 2004, but you must change out the lights assembly with the one that came with your car. The reason being is that the connection (wires are different) Price: $180 -

Just a side note about the LCD screens a 2005 to 2007 is the same screen as the 2008 to 2010 the only difference is the plastic connector, they all have the same wires. If you have a chance look the service manual for the 2005 and 2008 models. To make it work, you would need to cut the connectors off and solder or use electrical tape when making the connection from harness to LCD Screen.

I think this does it for right now I will be adding pictures later to better illustrate what I am talking about. I hope this helps, if you have questions or don't understand something please let me know so that I can clarify. Thank you club armada for everything!

Your welcome, I should be getting my OEM LCD screen soon. So hopefully it will be soon when I add the pictures.

Here is a side by side picture of the LCD Screen and the original bin. They both look the same, the only difference in the two is that one is made with an insert and a extra mounting bracket for the LCD. I also included a snap shot of what bezel looks like without the bin or LCD in it.

Thanks! That helps me in deciding on how to continue. I will probably just try to fix mine and see how it goes; it can't get any worse. But at least now i know the part number in case I need to order it. I haven't worked on it yet, but once I do I will be posting pictures of the before and after and all progress in between.

Thanks again for all your help.

Here is the picture of the overhead bezel that I order from nissanpartzone.com for 241.00

Note: you cannot tell from the picture, but the item came in grey. So be sure to select the right color for your car. If you do not or don't have the extra money to purchase the right color you can always paint it to match (This is way I tell you to keep all of the old items off of your old bezel).

Note: Correction on what I said earlier about this only comes with the bezel itself, it actually comes with everything you need (ready to install out the box).

I finally got around to fixing mine yesterday. I used oversized washers and epoxy glue on the cracked. I formed the washed to fit. The epoxy glue was applied from the inside part of the console for a clean look. Came out nice....we'll see how long it can last!!
