if i install an aftermarket radio in my g35c, will the function buttons on my steering wheel still work with it? can it be wired to control an aftermarket system or no?

Go to the PAC website , they have an interface to make it work...

 

And the URL for that website would be... ______???

yeah what's the URL? is it possible to transfer my old system from my old car into the new g35, everything except the headunit that is... because i dont have the $300-$500 to buy a new dashkit, so im just gonna use the oem factory headunit, not sure if it will work, i hear that i will require an rca convertor, so that i can connect my amps and components, right?

Should sound a lot better if this actually works, can anyone confirm this? Using oem radio with aftermarket amps, subs, and components/speakers? am i able to do this?

 

Sounds like you need to hang out at a car stereo shop for a while...

Yes you can. You will need an LOC (line out converter) in order to hook up external amps. I am putting together a competition system using the stock HU so it can be done very effectively, but you need to find a good installer and might need to spend some $ if you want it to sound perfect. If its for a daily driver, then its not a hard install since the amp is located in the trunk...enjoy!

shaam

 

Here is a link to the part from PAC you will need to interface with the Steering Wheel Controls.

haha...Its only an oxymoron if it cant be done...Not only will i make it happen...i think i can do very well...pics will be posted in a month or so when the install is complete...it starts in a week or 2...

 

I'm sure it can be done. Any decent head unit provides a good enough signal, it's the amps and speakers that really make the system sing.

ryoken,

you say that now, but youve only heard the crappy *** bose in the G, once you hear tru signals, like my alpine 4V preouts, youll laugh at that bose. its like night and day. but goodluck anyway.

Obviously, a system with preouts will provide a cleaner signal. However, a proper line->preamp converter will sound decent.

I had a Kenwood deck (with preamp out) in my last car with a 4 channel Kenwood amp, 16w RMS, 40w peak per channel (so let's call it a 160w amp), and Infinity 6.5 speakers occupying the 4 stock speaker locations, and the Kenwood 10-disc changer that plugged into the head unit. I'd say most premium factory stereo systems would be hard pressed to beat it, even though it wasn't that fancy.

I think the Bose is fine. Better base than my old system due to the sub, but the sound isn't crystal clear across all frequencies. If that's not good enough, then I think an aftermarket amp and speakers are enough to correct the problem, maybe an EQ as well. It can be done with the stock head unit. For one, I don't want to give up the dual a/c controls.

My only real gripe with the system is that I've had the cd player jam 3 times. *grrr*

ryoken... when your player jammed those 3 times, did they replace it or just repair it? i remember the recall (or whatever it is) on the player for the 2003.

well anything can happen. Some guy with a VW GTI stock system with a Trutech amp was winning competitions. G35audioman let me know how it turns out. I'm keeping my amps for the time being, but selling the rest of the stuff.
