I have an 05 5at. It's the bose hu with dual climate. With no navi.
So I jut got a kenwood ddx714 cuz I got it for a amazing price.
So I need to get this dd conversion done. I can see that I'll need to get the jdm kit with a/c controller. But what other harnesses do I need? Also I was reading that there is a problem with aftermarket hu working with the Bose speakers. Is there a fix for this?

Thanks in advance

 

A little searching would get you several posts on this, but here's the list:
70-7551 Wire Harness ($20)
JDM or Metra Double Din kit (huge preference for JDM here) (JDM: ~$350, less in the marketplace used, Metra $180)
A Scosche/generic double din trim ring if using the JDM kit ($10)
Nissan/Infiniti diversity antenna adapter ($15)
PAC SWI-??? steering wheel control adapter ($50) (??? depends on brand of aftermarket HU)
Wire nuts/crimp connectors ($5)


As for problems getting bose working. I can't say that the problem doesn't exist, but it seems as many people have the "Bose Noise" when keeping the bose amp and speakers with aftermarket HU that have "Regular Noise" when replacing the headunit and bose amp. My personal experience is only with installing Pioneer headunits with Bose systems, but every install that I've seen go down with the right parts hasn't reported noise issues - Eclipse, Alpine, Pioneer or Kenwood.

 

Oh ok well I'll try to find out about the Bose speaker bypass. I know someone in the marketplace was sold with a adapter for it. I'll have to give him a pm

thanks

 

Wrathernaut,

i was looking at the HU unit i bought and it looks like there is an antenna adapter there..
what exactly is the diversity antenna adapter for?

if i post up some pics of the unit and the stuff that i got with it could you give me a hand on what harnesses i will need.

I know i will deff need the wiring harness..

As you can tell Im a complete noob.

 

 

It converts the two-prong Nissan style into one that plugs into that deep universal style there.

 

is this the Infiniti and Nissan Diversity FM Antenna Adapter Cable Kit i need?

and this for the wiring harness?

and this being the trim kit?

 

The first linked antenna adapter is fine it has two a nissan to motorola and a motorola to nissan, you only need one of them (nissan to motorola), the second one is the right model number, but the wrong item pictured - is the right one.

If you have Bose, that's the right wiring harness.

That trim kit will work with the JDM kit.

 

thanks, so im looking for a NI10 correct?

thanks again

 

Yep, correct.

 

thanks for all your help

 

No problem, don't forget to post up the pics when you're done.
