Double Din Install On 03 Bose Coupe

Hey guys,

Just completed a bulk of my double din install over the weekend. So i thought id share some pictures of my new stereo. I initially was just going to stick with the stock OEM stereo but i ended up having dreaded climate/control issue (the one where aircon would automatically turn on and wont turn off and all buttons including radio would lock).

So i first bought the OEM double din kit from an Infiniti parts dealer in the US. Cost around $350.

This included the climate control board which fixes the issue i mentioned above but you end up with no stero/radio unit.

I then went with the Pioneer Appradio 4. Hooked it up to a PAC ROEM-NIS2 ($40) which is required for Bose equipped cars.

Ill be installing the steering wheel control module tonight.

Let me know if you guys have any questions.

Headunit was 600US + 50US shipping. Bought it off ebay from an online retailer because Amazon didnt ship to Australia.

The tutorial i used was the one off the g35drivers forum (http://g35driver.com/forums/audio-video-electronics/333847-wrathernaut-s-double-din-installation-faq-shopping-resource-list.html).

Just so you know, the wiring colours are different on the V35. But the location/functionality of each pin on the OEM harness is exactly the same as the G35. By using the PAC ROEM-NIS2, you directly plug one end of the PAC to the OEM nissan harness. The other end gets wired to the Headunit harness. All you then have to do is match up the colour wires. Pretty straight forward.

There wasnt much information on this forum regarding the wiring diagram on the v35 so from all the information i gathered i was able to figure all of them out. Below is a chart i made that might help. But if you are using the PAC, then you need to worry about all this.

My only advise is to definately get the PAC ROEM-NIS2 if you have a Bose system. Dont bother with anything else. You might read somwhere on this forum that you should get some Beatsonic rubbish, dont bother with that. It does the same thing the PAC does and doesnt cost 6 times as much

Love it, well done! The best head-unit install I've seen on a V35 Coupe :)

i like it mate, i want to do the same thing to mine, how much was it all up for everything?

Also will that head unit fit in the non Bose/premium package and would you happen to know if the installation is the same (since i do not have dual air con)

Cheers

Thanks dude.

The entire Double Din kit which includes the AC control panel cost 350USD. I ordered it from the US.

These kits can be hard to source these days but check the g35driver forums, some of the vendors recently got more stock.

You can also buy a dirt cheaper non oem Metra version for like half the price (but it looks like ass).

PAC ROEM-NIS2 unit which is required for BOSE systems cost 40AUD, bought off amazon.

Basically lets the headunit work with factory Bose system.

Axxess ASWC-1 unit for steering wheel controls cost 60USD, also off amazon.

The headunit itself was 600USD, bought it off some US site.

So i guess in total it cost around a grand.

The headunit/doubledin kit with fit both bose and non bose systems. i would say the only difference might be the wiring harness.

But if you follow the chart i posted you can use a test light to probe a few of the pins on your harness and work out if its the same or not.

Dual aircon shouldnt makes a different between the cars. Basically if you have dual aircon, the panel will have a button soldered on for you. If you dont, they dont put on this button. My car has dual zone aircon, but the AC Panel i bought doesnt have the button.

Not sure if they are still available or not. But they are selling for 350USD for the Tan(willow) colour. No idea how much shipping might be.

ok sweet, so would you happen to know if i would need an alternative to PAC ROEM-NIS2 , as i do not have the bose system, or any steering wheel controls for that mater.

Also is the install process really tedious? ive only ever changed single din on my prelude so i wouldn't really know what to except with a double DIN

I don't believe an interface unit is required for non-bose systems. You just need this wiring harness http://amzn.to/Q60ymm

The only tedious part for me was figuring out the pins on the harness, as there wasnt really any websites that mapped out the pins for the V35. There are guides for the G35, but the colours were different.

Single Din/Double Din, doesnt matter. Its the same amount of work.

In your situation(non-bose, no steering wheel controls) it would be pretty easy.

Hey Mate,

Really love the way you have done this and looking to do it to mine now,

Its very hard to source the double din kits for the skyline however i came across this and was wondering if it would work:  https://conceptzperformance.com/nissan-jdm-double-din-conversion-kit-black-infiniti-g35-03-04-sedan-coupe-v35-27500-al7kt_p_34671.php

And the other question i had is by any chance do you remember the part number or the name of the Pioneer headunit

Any answers would be greatly appreciated

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy

      R33 GTR lift points for hoist

      FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.

      Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
