Hi all,

I have finally decided to swap out the factory Bose HU and replace it with a double din unit. Can anyone please tell me what else I need to purchase before going to an installer? I am putting together the following:

1. Pioneer AVIC-Z110BT
2. Pioneer CD-IU50V iPod cable
3. JDM Double Din
4. Metra 70-7551
5. PAC SWI-PS steering wheel control
6. AMP (looking at a used Phoenix Gold Ti500.4)

I am not trying to put in a full system and will most likely keep the factory Bose speakers to save some money. I am only upgrading amp to avoid issues with aftermarket HU/Bose amp.

 

Somebody asked this exact question like a week ago.

Anyway, you're forgetting the nissan antenna adapter, and a double-din trim ring, as the Pioneer head units don't come with them (unless the Z110 is an exception).

With that 4-channel amp, you won't have anything to drive the 8" Bose subwoofer.

 

Would the Alpine PDX-5 be a better amp choice in this case?

 

a pdx-5 would work, you would have to tap into the factory sub, which shouldnt be hard at all

 

Use an aftermarket amp to power the stock bose system? Seems like a waste, as well as sending the stock speakers to an early grave if you really decide to jam, especially with the PDX5 lol . Just have the installer bypass the factory amp and use the regular 70-7550 harness. It's what I did, super easy too.

 

I can confirm that the Z110 does not come with a trim ring! Anyone want to know what I did for a trim ring, PM me and I will do my best to explain what I did...
