Hi All,

(Chris Rogers may be the DA MAN for this)...

I have a 2003 V35 sedan with the BOSE system and the steering wheel controls on the left hand side, see pic attached.

Now, I am maybe one of the unlucky few that had my factory monitor, etc removed and had an after market Panasonic HDD SatNav and 7" LCD installed (which is 'useless' and only used for the reverse camera). I will be removing the whole system and will be buying a 2 DIN Fascia to install a Sony headunit and motorised LCD screen in lieu of the BOSE 6 Stack CD/Tape Player.

I have already found the Fascia and the wire harness to connect up to the BOSE Amp and speaker system. However, from the same seller, they claim to have a steering wheel control interface that retains the use of the factory steering wheel controls (and mates it to the Sony headunit). However, this unit is for the G35 Infiniti and they cannot confirm if it works on the V35. But, going through their Tech Notes, it seems that this "may" work on the V35.

See here:

And here:

My question is:

1. By reading the info in the 2 links, can any Tech person confirm the wiring harness is the same, etc.

2. Is anyone willing to install this for me?

Like I said, Chris may be DA MAN for this job, but before I go spending $100USD on this unit, I need some assurance that it will work.

If this works on my car, it means that it will open the floodgates for many other V35 owners to explore changing their headunits and utilising the same factory steering wheel controls...

Oops, one more thing, can someone also confirm if the USA G35's Bose system wiring harness is the same as the V35s?

The kit comes with 2 wiring harnesses, which u only need to use 1 (depending on your aftermarket head unit install).

In my memory reference for Chris. The Harnesses of G35 bose and V35 Bose is different. So the US kit does not support JDM model. But Chris has his own harnesses can to the same job. Send him a pm, he will do the job for you.

+1.

bearing in mind a lot of the G35 stuff does not apply to this car. the leads you show DEFINITELY do not.

SWC - yep you can retain that with a sony stereo. I would be wary of ebay though. buy it off someone local.

In saying all this, what is actually required to replace the stereo only on a V35? not interested in combining monitor or navigation, just a repalce of the bose head unit with something else?

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
