Removing the standard radio Nissan Juke - a task that owners face when upgrading an audio system, repairing or replacing a device. Despite its apparent simplicity, the process requires caution: incorrect actions can damage the connectors, break wires, or set off an alarm. In this article we will look at step-by-step withdrawal algorithm for all generations Juke (2010–2026), including the nuances of working with climate control, steering column switches and system NissanConnect.
Feature Nissan Juke - an integrated multimedia system, where the radio is often connected to on-board electronics. For example, in models with BOSE sound removal without disconnecting the battery may cause an error U1000 in the control unit. We will tell you how to avoid such problems as tools will be needed (including non-obvious ones), and give unique connector wiring diagrams for Juke F15 and JF1 — this information is not in the standard manuals.
Preparation: Tools and Safety Precautions
Before starting work, make sure you have everything you need. For Nissan Juke the first generation (2010–2019) and restyling (2014–2019) the set of tools will be identical, and for the second generation (2019–2026) additional adapters will be required.
- 🔧 Plastic panel pullers (set of 3-5 pieces) - metal tools will damage the clips.
- 🔌 Screwdriver TORX T20 — for radio mounts in 2019+ models.
- 🔋 Multimeter - to check the voltage on the connectors before disconnecting.
- 📦 Container for fasteners — clips and bolts are easily lost.
- 🔄 ISO adapter for Nissan — if you plan to install a non-standard radio.
Critical disconnect battery 10–15 minutes before the start of work. This will prevent short circuit and reset ECU. In models with NissanConnect (2017+) if this rule is not followed, it may be necessary to reflash the system via a dealer scanner Consult-III+.
⚠️ Attention: B Juke 2019–2026, the radio is connected to the rear view camera via CAN bus. If disconnected incorrectly, the camera may stop working even after reinstallation.

Removing the decorative panel: step-by-step analysis
Decorative panel around the radio in Nissan Juke secured with plastic clips. The main mistake beginners make is trying to remove it by force, which leads to cracks. We recommend the following algorithm:
- Start with bottom of panel (under climate control). Carefully insert the puller into the gap and pull it towards you.
- Snap left and right sides — the main clips are located there (2 pieces on each side).
- Lift the panel up to release the top latches. Do not pull it all the way - the backlight wires are connected to the panel.
In 2019+ models, the panel is additionally secured with two bolts TORX T20 under decorative plugs. They need to be unscrewed to remove the clips, otherwise the plastic will be deformed.

Decorative caps removed (if any)|
Pullers and container for fasteners are prepared|
The absence of foreign objects in the cabin has been checked (they may fall into the cracks) -->
After removing the panel, you will see four mounting bolts for the radio (two on top and bottom). B Juke 2010–2014 they can be hidden under an additional plastic cover - you need to carefully pry it off with a screwdriver.
Disabling connectors: diagrams and features
Radio in Nissan Juke connects via 3–4 connectors (depending on configuration). You can’t just pull them out - this could damage the contacts. We have collected unique connection diagrams for different years of manufacture:
| Connector | Purpose | Juke 2010–2014 | Juke 2015–2019 | Juke 2019–2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A (black) | Power (+12V, ACC, GND) | 16-pin | 16-pin | 18-pin (optional CAN-H/L) |
| B (gray) | Audio outputs (front/rear) | 8-pin | 8-pin | 10-pin (optional) BOSE) |
| C (white) | Antenna, USB, AUX | Missing | 6-pin | 12-pin (includes Apple CarPlay) |
| D (blue) | Climate control, steering column switches | Only in Tekna | All configurations | Integrated into connector A |
To disconnect connectors, use plastic spatula, prying the clamps from the sides. In models with BOSE connector B has an additional latch on top - you need to press it before removing it.
⚠️ Attention: B Juke 2019+ connector C responsible for the work Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. If it is damaged, the system will no longer recognize smartphones, and restoration will cost 15–20 thousand rubles. from an official dealer.
What to do if the connector does not turn off?
If the connector is soured or the lock is broken, do not use force. Process the contacts first WD-40 (do not use alcohol - it will damage the plastic). Then gently rock the connector left and right while pulling it towards you. As a last resort, you can unsolder the wires, but this will require a soldering iron with a thin tip (maximum 30 W) and solder with rosin.
Removing the radio: nuances for different generations
After disconnecting the connectors, the radio is held in place by 4 bolts (or latches in models without bolts). B Nissan Juke the first generation of fastenings are standard, and the second uses bolts with M5 thread, which are easily torn off with excessive force.
- 🔩 B Juke 2010–2014 the bolts are unscrewed Phillips screwdriver PH2.
- 🔧 B Juke 2015–2019 — TORX T20 (sometimes with anti-screw protection).
- 🛠️ B Juke 2019–2026 - bolts with plastic insertsthat break when using non-original tools.
After removing the bolts, the radio must be carefully pushed forward. In models with NissanConnect it may get stuck due to the guides. If the radio does not come out, check:
- Are the wires caught on the body?
- Are there any unnoticed clips on the sides?
- Is the climate control frame blocking the radio? Juke 2019+ it sometimes moves).
If the radio does not turn on after removal, check the fuse F37 (10A) in the block under the hood. It is responsible for powering the audio system and often burns out if there is a short circuit.
Installing a new radio: adapters and settings
When replacing the standard radio with a non-standard one (for example, Pioneer or Alpine) you will need:
- 🔌 ISO adapter for Nissan (For example, Connects2 CTNI002).
- 🎵 Antenna amplifier (if the new radio does not have a built-in one).
- 📱 Adapter for steering column switches (For example, Pac RP4-NIS01).
B Juke with BOSE sound will require additional signal booster, since the standard system uses non-standard voltage levels on the audio outputs. Without it, the sound will be quiet and distorted.
| Problem | Reason | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Rear view camera does not work | Connector not connected C or damaged CAN bus |
Check pins 5 and 6 in the connector C (for 2019+) |
| No sound from speakers | Output incompatibility or amplifier disabled BOSE | Use an adapter with adjustable signal level |
| Steering wheel buttons don't work | No adapter for SW-CAN |
Install Pac RP4-NIS01 or similar |
After installing a new radio, you may need error reset via diagnostic connector OBD-II. A scanner is suitable for this ELM327 with the program Nissan DataScan.
In Juke 2019+, after replacing the radio, be sure to perform the “Initialize audio system” procedure through the menu Settings → System → Reset. Otherwise, the climate control will not work correctly.
Common mistakes and how to avoid them
Even experienced car owners make mistakes when removing the radio. Here are the most common:
- 🔌 Damage to the power connector - occurs when you try to pull it out without unlocking the latch. Consequence: The radio does not turn on, the connector needs to be replaced (cost ~3 thousand rubles).
- 🔊 Broken antenna wires — thin wires break easily if handled carelessly. Consequence: lack of radio signal.
- 🔧 Loss of mounting bolts — in the cabin they fall under the panel. Consequence: impossibility of securely fixing the new radio.
- 📱 Reset NissanConnect settings — occurs when the battery is disconnected without waiting 10 minutes. Consequence: Re-linking the phone and setting up profiles is required.
To avoid problems, follow the rule: "If you're not sure, don't wait". It is better to spend an extra 5 minutes studying the diagram than to repair the wiring later.
How to restore the climate control after removing the radio?
In Juke 2015+, climate control is connected to the radio via a bus CAN. If, after installing a new radio, the fans or temperature sensors stop working, follow these steps:
- Disconnect the battery for 15 minutes.
- Connect the scanner OBD-II and reset errors in the block
HVAC. - Enter the climate control engineering menu (hold the buttons
AUTO + OFF10 seconds). - Select an item
Reset All.
If the problem persists, check the integrity of the wires between the connectors A And D (pins 3 and 12).

FAQ: answers to frequently asked questions
Is it possible to remove the radio without pullers?
Theoretically yes, but the risk of damage to the panel is extremely high. Plastic clips in Juke fragile, and without pullers they are easy to break. As a last resort, you can use flat-head screwdrivers, wrapping their ends with electrical tape, but this does not guarantee the safety of the panel.
Why did the backlighting of the climate control buttons stop working after removing the radio?
Most likely, you damaged the connector D (blue), which is responsible for powering the backlight. Check pins 2 and 4 - they should be intact. If the connector is damaged, it can be repaired with tweezers or replaced with a new one (part number 28510-4M000).
Does a new radio need to be coded at the dealer?
In most cases no. Coding is only required for radios with NissanConnect (2017+) if you install full-time radio from another car. For non-standard devices, coding is not necessary, but may require configuration via OBD-II (for example, to activate the rear view camera).
Which fuse controls the radio in the Juke?
In the fuse box under the hood:
- Juke 2010–2014: fuse
F37 (10A). - Juke 2015–2026: fuse
F42 (15A)+ relayR17.
Also check the fuse F10 (7.5A) in the cabin unit - it is responsible for the button illumination.
Is it possible to connect a non-standard radio without an adapter?
Technically yes, but you will lose:
- Operation of steering column switches.
- Display information on the on-board computer (for example, track name).
- Hands-Free function for the phone (if the radio does not support Bluetooth independently).
Without an adapter, the rear view camera may also not work in 2019+ models.
