Wrathernaut's Double-Din Installation FAQ, Shopping and Resource List
#1726
So Wrathernaut... I have searched a bit for this answer... Come up with nothing so far. Does the Double din install affect the heater control? I am doing quite a bit of work on the car, and I have control of the fan and modes, but no control so fat of my heater anymore... Now there are A LOT of things unhooked and the double din is not back inside the car. Ideas?
So, if your problem was the electronics board that controls the radio, a/c and heater, the problem gets fixed. If your problem is elsewhere, it remains unchanged.

Before the ROEM-NIS2 was listed as the go-to adapter for Bose installs, complaints of extremely quiet output or severe noise were common with bose installs. Since many shops and individuals are using this guide, it's very rare for somebody to experience that.

Hey guys - thank you very much for this sticky. I've read a lot of it but not all, so I apologize in advance if this has been answered. My 2003 G35 w/Bose Sedan has long experienced the battery drain issue caused by the HU. Recently I have had the opportunity to sell my G for a fair price ( don't worry, I've got a new G scoped out). Anyway, it's stipulated on me fixing the battery drain issue. I bought an OEM 2004 G35 radio off EBay and low and behold - i get no sound. I failed to check whether or not this was a Bose unit - clearly it's not. Instead of returning this as 'doesn't fit' could/should I purchase a Metra 70-7550/1 or PAC ROEM-NIS2 and treat this replacement HU as an 'aftermarket' to make it work? Thanks in advance.

steering wheel question
Wrathernaut's Advice:
2. Steering Wheel Interface: - Use the Mᴇtra Axxess ASŴC-1 for EVERYTHING except for the X920BT, Z110BT, Z120BT or Z130BT - for those models the PAC SWI-PS will let you map a button to the voice command feature. (Instructions for installing the ASŴC into a G35 can be found here.
I'm looking at buying a Pioneer DEH-X6710BT and I'm wondering if the bluetooth voice control on this unit would require the ASWC-1 or the PAC SWI-PS?

Help?

Not that we need another post in this thread but the solution mentioned here worked for me. I have a 2006 infinity g35 coupe and the CD player kept showing me push eject. Nothing happened when I did. So I went and bought an aftermarket double Din unit. It required me to also install the aftermarket temperature controls from metra because the original circuit board was one piece that controlled the stereo and the temperature controls. But when it was installed with the wiring harness it sounded like crap. I followed the directions here and ordered the pac roem nis2 from Amazon (even though it specifies that it's made for older Nissan cars and mine wasn't listed). I got it installed and now my stereo sounds awesome again. Everyone at these stereo stores was sceptical at first but trust me (and everyone else here) that it works. Any questions about my experience just pm me. Thanks to all that helped and thanks to g35 forums for providing the means for me to ask the question. Thanks to pac for making an affordable solution. They really should update their compatibility list. Thanks again!

anyone install a Joying double din stereo unit?
http://www.carjoying.com/2-din-car-g...mera-wifi.html
http://www.carjoying.com/2-din-car-g...mera-wifi.html
It is the same unit as this one here - http://www.lightinthebox.com/volkswa..._p3912113.html, only in a universal DDin, so if you can find reviews of that unit, it'll help you with the carjoying one.
Another edit; looks like they have a 6.1" version for less: http://www.lightinthebox.com/univers..._p3912099.html
