Help on install for avic z3..

Hello guys.
Im trying to install the AVIC-Z3 on my 05 g35x w/bose system. with bluetooth, xm radio, hd radio, steering wheel controls, bypass dvd player, rear camera, 4080 sub, 10" sub, amp. Just got couple of questions on the install. Any help or tips will be great!

First off I have installed my old system(single din HU) on my old car b4. I am good with my hands. But i have never solder before but i think it doesnt look hard to do.

1. all i have to do is just splice the OEM wires to the new HU? would all the wires be behind the HU(ie. steering wheel control wire, reverse wire, and speed wire)?
2. for the amp and sub, do i have to wire it to the battery? what about the avic-z3?
3. Can u guys give me a recommendation to which sub and amp to buy? i have no clue on it. Im looking for a 10" sub with some bump to it! I also want to install a bass controller into the ash try. which one is a good controller to get?
4. Im going to try to bypass the z3 so it can play dvd while driving. How hard is it to do this? Ive have read the info on it on avic411.com and doesnt look that hard.
5. would all the gear fit behind the HU? like the xm radio, bluetooth and HD RAdio, steering wheel control.
6. Does the Z3 come with hd radio? or do i have to buy the kit?
7. Where can i get a DD kit and a/c controller for the cheapest?
Do they make an a/c controller with duel control? or do i have to solder it?
8. Do i need to buy a bracket for the z-3 to fit?
9. if i put the navi antena on the front dash corner will this effect the recepetion?
10. all i need to buy is the wire harness? am i missing something else?
11. which rear view camera should i get?
12. is it okay to use stock bose speakers and it's wires? should i disconnect the bose sub since im getting subs or just keep it running?
13. where can i find a wire diagram for an 05 g35x sedan with bose system.?

these are my question for now.. all the help would be appreicated. thanks in advance

1. buy the metra/best kits harness: 7550/7551 don't splice the wires. causes nightmares.
1a.steering wheel controls need an interface. do a search for all the relevant info.
2. amp needs to be connected DIRECTLY to battery. deck only needs to be powered through the wiring harness
3.if you're running the Z3 you don't need a remote gain control. good way to blow up your ****. amps/subs come down to preference/budget/music you listen to. personally I have a W6 with Focal amp
4. follow avic411s directions... I think there's one wire pin you have to relocate.
5. I think most of it will.
6. HD radio USUALLY needs an extra adapter. but HD radio isn't all that strong yet so I'd save a few bucks and ignore it especially if you're thinking about going sat radio
7. you're going to pay about the same everywhere. 250-300
8. nope. after the jdm controller you only need to remove the metal brackets from the factory radio housing and attach them to your deck. you may have to drill holes/modify the back to work with the DD.
9. no
10. harness, antenna adapter for FM/AM radio, DD kit either jdm, metra, or turbo
11. get one that's is powered by 12 volts
12. bose subs is just crossed over 6x9s and yes it's safe to use all factory speakers. but I'd recommend disconnecting the rear speakers
13. you don't need it but if you want it look at the stickys.
14. have a professional do it other wise you're going to destroy your car based on the questions you're asking.
