So.. my car's center console has finally died.. (AC on + Buttons not working)

Went to dealership and said its gonna cost around 900 to replace the radio and the circuit board + labour work. ****ing bull****. Everything is starting to happen after warranty.

So i've decided to go aftermarket and i've been looking at two units. Pioneer Avic-D3 and Z2. I just wondering what other parts do I need to do the instalation? Im not planning to install it, im brining it to a store. I've done some search and i think that i need the Ac control? and the Double Din Bracket? ... Was wondering what else i need. Anyone post link to parts and other parts i need. Thank you.

 

a/c control, double din bracket, and double din finisher. thats pretty much it.

was wondering.. if i have 03 coupe can i still get the 05-06 Doudin AC-COntrol?

 

the Ipod cable is nice

 

As far as I know, no you can't use the 05-06 AC controller.

you'll need the 03-04 DD kit.

 

awww alright.. so to finallize right now all i neeed is 03-04 DD bracket , finisher , and the 03 - 04 AC control? and thats all? nothing else? and ofcourse the Pioneer Unit

 

^ You don't need the metal bracket. The bracket you have in your car will work. You also need the wire harness adapters, antenna adapter, and the steering wheel interface. If you have the Bose system, you need to decide how you want to connect the new HU to it.

 

Okay, so i dont need to get the finisher? do you have the link to get wire harness adapters, antenna adapter, and steering wheel interface?

What do you mean how i wanna connect? Btw im not installing this, im bringing it to a store. They will know how to connect right?

 

^ you need to get the finisher, AC controller, antenna adapter, and PAC unit for the steering controls. AS for bringing it to a store ask the shop if they ever taken apart a G35 before its not a easy job to take apart everything unless you know what to do.

 

You don't need the metal bracket but you do need the finisher.

You can get the wire harness adapters, antenna adapter, and steering wheel interface wherever you get your head unit.

A typical audio shop should be able to connect to a non-Bose system but you may need to give them some guidance connecting it to the Bose system by printing out some threads from here.

 

So gilley are you saying that the Head unit im getting will not be connected to my BOSE system?

 

You have to connect it to your Bose system for the speakers to work unless you plan to replace the Bose amp with something else. I didn't know whether you had the Bose system until now. Your new HU just requires a different wire harness adapter to work with the Bose system.

 

Alright. thanks. i think i have everything now =)) thanks again Gilley and everyone else.
