Hey all, i just bought a Panasonic CQ-VD6505U dual din 6.5" widescreen for my G, does anyone know if i need a dash kit?? And if so, where can I get one

 

Yeah, you need one. PM Jason@RiversideInfiniti (bought mine there). That's about $300-330 IIRC.

I just went through a DD Install with a Clarion Max675VDII a few weeks ago, wish I could've done things a bit differently. Took my mechanically minded friend and I about 6.5 hrs.

If you're doing a DIY, make sure you get someone's guide to removing the stock HU from this AVE forum, and also harnesses (I didn't!) - the harnesses would make your install so much easier. A Scosche (sp?) NN03 I believe for the speakers/amp and also a radio antenna adapter. Don't know where to find one of those.


Good luck.

 

You need the trim piece and AC controller.

 

****, thats gonna be alot of work!!!

 

Does the Clarion require more work to install than a regular DD HU?

 

you can call eddie at performance nissan, i got both pieces for 270 shipped

 

No, I don't think it's fairly difficult - I was more of a hindrance than help to my friend however, and since we didn't have any harnesses, he was going by some schematic we found online somewhere to connect each speaker and the amp. And we broke for lunch and beers.

But, because we didn't have the antenna adapter, he didn't connect my FM (no big loss) but as a result, I have a noticeable hiss when playing on low volume. Will fix that in the next few weeks.

Love the Clarion GUI for the IPOD. That was the main reason why I went Clarion and I didn't need nav (have factory).

Highly recommend the Clarion MAX675VDII.

Now need front/rear speakers, dedicated amp....nuts.
