There was a Nissan OEM version: The MZ929N. Nissan part# B81A2-N0180. Kenwood model# Y39-1350-05.

This is an MD / CD receiver that realizes ultra-high density mounting by mounting a thin MD mechanism and a thin CD mechanism in a 1DIN size housing. With limited dashboard space, MD and CD can be used in 1DIN size, making effective use of space. MD corresponds to MD new standard "MDLP" which can play up to 320 minutes with one MD. 24-bit high-quality sound LSI is adopted as ATRAC which decodes MD data. The left and right independent separate power ICs are used for the amplifier, and by significantly improving the channel separation, we have succeeded in realistically reproducing the sense of sound field and spaciousness. In addition, it is equipped with a full-spec DSP / EQ, expanding the enjoyment of listening to music in the passenger compartment. Equipped with a "3 mode font" function that allows you to select the display font of the display unit from 3 types. A multifunctional full-dot FL tube is used for the display, enabling beautiful and precise display. Equipped with a 45W x 4ch high power amplifier. Includes 10-key remote control.
