Thanks. Sadly, I've not really done anything to the exterior. The stereo components are all things I had previously used in my 3000GT, and I finally got around to putting them in the G after owning it a few years.

 

Alpine INA-W910 in 04.5 Coupe...just one photo for now until I get the interior vacumned out so I don't get flamed too much.

Still need to fill the gap around the head unit as much as is practical.

 

Ahh, I see you went with the JDM kit. Looks so much nicer than the Metra lot and worth the extra money spent. The seat warmer buttons looks a bit different from the coupe, do you have a sedan?

Gonna look hella flush once you fill in the gap!

 

I meant Metra Kit and nvm, you already mentioned that you have a coupe lol

 

Thanks. From what I've read, the JDM is the only option for nav-equipped cars. In any event, my preference was for the JDM trim.

 

that's because it's an automatic... looks just like my 04 G35x interior...

 

Thanks Wrathernaut, docron, and many others who have contributed information to make this conversion as painless as possible.

Very clean install there, glad it turned out so well.

 

Anyone know a good place that will install your steering wheel controls for cheap? I know a place that will install it with the PAC unit for $80. Guess I'm just trying to see how low I can get!

$50-$60 bucks is what I consider cheap since the PAC steering wheel control adapter is around $30-$40 bucks at cost (obviously I can't purchase at cost).

If you've got a place that does $80 for the unit and install, you won't get any better.

 

That's what I figured, just need some kind of confirmation. Cool beans since that is a pretty good price unless I do it myself.

 

Just installed my JDM kit and a fairly basic $180 Clarion BT/USB/Aux double din receiver. I had no idea the Bose system could sound so freaking good. The hardest part of the install was cramming all that extra gear (specifically the converter harness) behind the headunit.

The unit came with a trim piece and all I had to do was add a thin 1/4" thick black foam strip along the bottom of the HU to seal up a narrow 1/8" gap.

Hopefully this updated setup will help me unload the car in spring.

 

Looks nice DaveB.

 

Any problems with fitment? And I hear the display is a little dim, you have any problems seeing it?

Just got a new deck and it doesn't fit right.
