RP4-NI13
Radio Replacement and Steering Wheel Control
Interface for Select Nissan Vehicles
Introduction and Features
The RP4-NI13 interface allows the replacement of a factory radio in select
Nissan vehicles with MSCAN databus radios.
Using this interface will retain factory features, such as steering wheel
controls (SWC), reverse camera, and the factory amplifier, when the original
radio is removed. Use of this interface also allows you to program two radio
functions to each SWC button by using short press, long press dual command
functionality. The RP4-NI13 also provides outputs such as vehicle speed sensor
(VSS), illumination and *reverse trigger.
Important Notes
- These instructions apply to R.1.5.1.4 or later revisions. The revision info can be found on a small white sticker on the interface and packaging.
- The radio select rotary switch on the side of the interface, must be adjusted to the proper radio setting before plugging the interface into the vehicle (see next page for setting chart).
- The interface comes pre-programmed for all of the vehicle’s factory SWC functions, and does not require programming unless you wish to re-assign the SWC functions, or utilize short press, long press dual command functionality. The SWC can always be restored to default settings by pressing and releasing the program button on the side of the interface once, and waiting 7 seconds for the LED to flash 4 times.
- Does not retain 360 camera system.

Default Steering Wheel Control Programming
IMPORTANT! The interface comes pre-programmed for all of the vehicle’s factory SWC functions and does not require programming, unless you wish to re- assign the SWC functions, or utilize short press, long press dual command functionality. The SWC can always be restored to default settings by pressing and releasing the program button on the side of the interface once, and waiting 7 seconds for the LED to flash 4 times.

Optional Steering Wheel Control Programming
If you wish to re-assign the SWC functions, or utilize short press, long press dual command functionality, the interface must be programmed in the specific order shown on the chart below. If you come across a function in the chart that your steering wheel does not have, or you do not want to program, press and release the program button on the side of the interface to skip that function. The LED will flash off and on, confirming that you have successfully skipped that function and are ready to proceed to the next one.
-
Turn the key to the ignition position.
-
Press and release programming button on the side of the interface.
-
Within 7 seconds, press the button that is to be learned on the steering wheel. The LED will turn off when the button is pressed. At this point you have two options:
A. For short press functionality: Release the button within 1.5 seconds. The LED will turn back on.
B. For long press functionality: Hold the button until the LED starts blinking. Release the button and the LED will go back to solid. -
If you need to program more buttons, repeat step 3 for each additional audio function on the steering wheel.
-
If you come across a function in the chart that your steering wheel does not have, or you do not want to program, press and release the program button on the side of the interface to skip that function.
-
Once programming is completed, wait seven seconds. The LED will flash three times, indicating end of programming.
-
Test the interface for proper functionality. Whenever a SWC is pressed, the LED on the interface should blink. If any function does not work, repeat the programming steps.
