Bose radio/sat nav/

Hi all,

I'm new on here so go easy on me! I joined up to this forum as it looks like you guys know every thing about our cars (and the uk forum is a bit dead).

I have just got a skyline 350gt after years of owning Jags and so far loving it. It's a 2004 model which has been in the u.k for 2 years.

There's a quick picture of it on the way home-

 

My question is what can I do with the radio etc, it's got the Bose radio/6 cd disc head unit with pop up sat nav/tv, dvd drive in top glove box, rear 6x9 Bose speakers and I think a amp in the boot.

The radio works ok but the cd will not read any uk cd discs. I do like the std look of the set up so if I keep it what can I do to get ipod connected and usb?

I have heard I can't remove the dvd drive because the engine will not run without it. is this true?

The sat nav/tv is no use here so whats my options?

 

Thanks.

You'll have to do some reading in the older post in the forum.

But you can "move" the DVD computer back behind the glove box and replace with a better system. DVD player with an Android computer to mirror your phone.

Hi, so you can't remove the factory dvd drive then?

You're new head unit, now was this connected the std system? 

Thanks.

Great thanks!   That's the answer I was looking for!

Update - I have a double din fascia which I won on a site in Japan, it's on it's way to the u.k now. The only problem is it's black and mine is silver!

Also trying to sort info on connecting steering wheel controls to new HU which is not easy!
