AVIC Z2 question

What all is needed to install the Z2 into an 03 coupe? I bought a used Z2 off someone that should be here by this weekend.

You will need the dash finisher, ac controller and maybe this other bracket. You will have to solder the dual climate button to the new ac control unit but other then that its pretty easy.

You don't need the metal bracket.

+1....all you need is the DD finisher and the AC control module. The oem bracket will work just fine!

If you want to keep running off the stock amp.....you will need to buy a wire harness (Scosche NNO3B) and an antenna adaptor also (not sure which one I went with, but I think you can buy it from Nissan or Scosche: http://www.scosche.com/scosche/antennas/NDAR.asp). You can find both items on ebay, which is probably your best bet! Good Luck with the install!

Does the z2 unit fit perfectly into the JDM double din dash kit or will we have to fabricate some type of trim ring? Just want to make sure it fits without any gaps surrounding the unit.

will, unless you are going to wire up a steering wheel switch all you need to do is run rcas to your amps and speaker wire from the speakers to your amp. you can tap the wires via the bose amp wiring unless you want to swap out the wiring. the z2 fits into the double din kit pretty well no need to fab up anything
