Double din face/ac controller go for $250 to 270, Headunit, harnesses so you dont have to use your OEM $10, your own install Free, i can tell you pretty much what to do to install it and its pretty much easy to do.

Depends on if you want to keep your steering wheel controls or add an aftermarket amp, subs, door speakers. Do you have a Bose system or factory navigation because that will determine what dash kit you need. Do you want a metra dash kit our an OEM dash kit. You still needed a double din trim ring to make it flush. Email me I can help you out the best I can I just did mine about 4 months back.

Yes it is bose system without navigation.
This is the touch screen pioneer one with a rear camera as well

and this is the one which is about half the price

just a little confused as to which one would be more beneficial. I will probably get it installed as my technical skills are not good!

Factory Navigation Screen Housing Added To Non-Nav 2006
Here's the setup I installed a few years ago. I added the factory navigation screen housing and controls to a Non-Nav system using the the Electrical section of the Infiniti Service manual. My diagram of the wiring is included in the photos.
I removed the factory screen and installed an Alpine Touchscreen, which fits almost perfectly. As shown in the diagram, the operations of the navigation screen motor and the navigation switch illumination were restored by splicing into the A/C control wiring harness.
I wasn't able to find a Navigation version of the JDM Double Din Finisher at the time of installation, so the extra height of the non-Nav finisher required some modification that the installer wasn't able to get quite right.
I added switches on the side of the center console to control my front and rear license plate frame cameras. The upper switch turns the front bumper camera ON and OFF on the upper screen for more precise parking. The lower switch toggles the rear-view camera between ON and REVERSE on the lower screen as needed.

i'm looking for the double din kit that keeps the factory buttons because i HATE how the Metra kit looks the buttons seem cheap i prefer the factory buttons.............. i drive a 03 coupe
The reputable sources I know of are all on my shopping/resource list that's sticky'd at the top of this forum. Just expect to be out over $300 for it. (Money well spent, IMO)
Just watch this video. THere's like 3 seconds between every tap of the screen and the result:
Just look at it from 0:14 to 0:34. That's how long it takes them to get from playing one song by an artist to another.

if sound quailty is your goal the sony is a better choice than the Pioneer.
Out of the box with no adjustments the Sony unit I had sounded better.
The Sony also has time alignment.
there is some lag but I delt with it
sound quality > extras
for me
