If you feel confident with cutting the plate out, that is one solution. Just ensure that there is enough room for a unit to fit inside the console. There should be ample space where an upgraded model's HU would be. Good luck!

How far are you taking your stereo upgrade/install? Pairing up sensitive fly-by-wire throttle and vehicle body modules; then piling a sensitive CVT gearbox (belt box?) imposes strict limits on how much you can load the alternator.

I do not know the specifics on the alternator output on that car, but I bet that the margins are slim on the bone stock entry level package. Shop and install carefully! You may inadvertently shorten the lifespan on a very expensive Xtronic transmission. (I keep an '03 Murano alive against it's will and barely survived an alternator recall and a weak battery replacement that made the gearbox act very strange until repaired)

just answered my own question with a google search:

Nissan Versa '09 Vehicle Specifications

It lists both the 1.6 and 1.8 Liter engine as having a 110 amp (2KW) alternator. Figuring in that it may have a pair of heated O2 sensors, acessory, light, and A/C loads, a deccently powered radio and an efficient 500 watt subwoofere amp can live peacefully if not pushed *too* hard, in my not-so-educated opinion. Pleases let us know if you succeed and what you ultimately decide to do - I am curious. I have a few friend looking at this car and also asking me about a system install aftermarket style.

Easy as pie with the right parts....isn't that right idiot. that, a harness and antenna adapter should be all you need....hopefully it's wired for a radio.
