Pioneer DEX-P99RS which gives me ipod/iphone connectivity + I have a 160gig hard drive connected to it for my music library. Very rarely use the CD :) but there are plenty of ipod control head units on the market, just depends on your budget.

The factory Radio & AC controls are integrated on the one PCB so to go aftermarket you will need to mod the fascia and find a separate A/C control module like the one below:

Or buy the double din unit with controls like Howa mentioned:

I'm looking to install JDM dashkit in mine right now. Any one know if the premium Bose came with an amp? I hear the USDM's have the amp located in the trunk next to the spare tire.

Also what type of wire harness do i need?

I'm doing the exact thing right now.

Ordered the JDM dash kit from japanparts. Metra buttons do look a bit tacky in real life so stick with JDM.

But basically you would need to also replace the AC controls. You can find them together with the facia, AC controls, single/double DIN brackets and tray.

Also get a harness for the wiring to save some headache, hope that helps

Hi everyone,

Wanting to know what I should replace the current 'face' for the stereo. I miss having the ability to play my iPod and listen to the radio. What does everyone else have?

Bose systems have an Amp in the boot, non-Bose do not, this applies to the G35 (US) and the V35.

You will need an adaptor to connect your aftermarket head unit to the Bose system.. Chris Rogers should be able to help you out with that.

If you just want radio and iPod, you can get the band expander to make the radio work here, and an iPod I/F for the factory unit. Would be cheaper than the double din facia, harness adaptor and aftermarket head unit.

Alternativly you could get a head unit from a G35, radio will work here and it gives you MP3/WMA CD playback ability. Doesn't help with your iPod though..

Oh sweet i think i need something like this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2003-2007-Infiniti-G35-Bose-Replace-Radio-Wire-Harness-/140494923285?pt=Car_Audio_Video&hash=item20b6266615&vxp=mtr#ht_1243wt_1163

To retain the use of the amp. Also any recommendations for the HU (not sure what power output i need).

Ok guys so i did a little research to save yourself headache with wiring (plug and play attempt).

With the Bose sound system in order to retain the amp you have to use the NSA-04. If you have a factory navigation system and you wish to retain that then go for the NSA-05 interface.

For none Bose systems use the NSA-03.

NSA-04 link: http://www.beatsonic...iti/nsa-04.html

NSA-05 link: http://www.beatsonic...iti/nsa-05.html

Like Greg mentioned speak to Chris Rogers and he should be able to hook you up.

I got my headunit yesterday (Kenwood KDC-U549BT) and realized that without the interface i will lose the amp along with the 2 speaks in my back seat down.gif

So far this is the only solution i know on how to retain the factory amp and speakers.

Parts so far (don't know if i may need anything else or if i'm ready for the conversion):

JDM Dash kit and A/C controls with tray

Head unit (possibly harness if needed)

Beat Sonic NSA interface

Any suggestions are welcome.

Note* These only apply if you have an amp setup so it's not for everyone

Thanks for this info mate. Any chance these are still available? I'm only after the AC Control PCB like in the picture.

I replaced my stock 2003 Bose stereo with a Pioneer double din screen. I didn't have any adapters and I retained the amp and both back speakers. I can honestly say after owning and doing up car stereos that my car sounds like it has a sub. It is insane! Don't know what i did to retain the amp.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.

      Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4

      Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went?

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was ￡307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell.

      As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
