yep the guide that came with the device says red but I get green, very odd
And one thing to note the trim ring for the new pioneer 5600 doesn't fit quite right since the headunit flips out, I sanded too much on it may need to try a different ring
Also I found a harness off the H/U that nothing goes to, what is that for?

For headunits with a motorized faceplate, I've just cut it so it's just a strip of trim along the top, and another along the bottom set back far enough that it doesn't interfere.
Without seeing a picture, I can't say what the harness is, but you have four radio power/audios signal harnesses, one climate control harness, and two for navigation (if equipped). Everything you need for the radio are on three of those four, so you'll end up with one unused.

I'd give Metra a call for that one, I didn't have issues with the one I did a couple months back.

That's what I was thinking as well, but right now the free floating one isn't awful.
It was about the same size as the larger radio harness, had a lot of silver inlays, I bet it was for the navigation, but interesting that the H/U had it prewired go figure.
Let me know if you are up in ATL, I owe you a beer or two for this project.

Yea I have a feeling, but I can live without PWR doing anything since the headunit has a MUTE button.

That works too
, there are some decent pie places up by me in the burbs (Roswell / Alpharetta area).
I can't tell you how excited I am to have Bluetooth Audio, and a aux cord. How did we live without it for so long?
I took apart the cd changer to pull out my CDs, everything appears operational if I manually cycle it, but I figure it's not worth trying to fix it (reattaching all the springs) and just put in the attic in case I sell the car.

Thanks again Wrathernaut! So I went with the JDM setup on my 05 coupe install. Now my Nav comes up but does not turn on. I asked the Infiniti dealer that sold me the kit & was told that I can no longer use my nav with the DD kit. Which was the same thing my Car audio installer said. Any idea what area I should look at for a fix?

The gray in the top right is the screen mechanism, the middle-far left is for the screen and button communication. That's the one they didn't plug in, or screwed up the wires (possibly torn out some of the pins on the harness) when removing.

The only thing you will lose from the factory nav with a competent installer is the navigation voice. Whoever says differently is ignorant, a liar, or both.

Yes it will fit. You'll just have a 1/8 gap between the top of the double din trim and bottom of cubby as pictured, also see link for more info on your question along with comparison pictures.

Question! I am about to start this project this weekend. I received my Metra Kit, with antenna adapter, Pioneer DEH-X7500HD Receiver, and it came with a "Scosche OEA-4A" which looks similar to the pictured ROEM-NIS2 pictured page 1.
If I am reading correctly, I still need the Steering Wheel interface, right? And this Scosche OEA-4A will replace the ROEM-NIS2...is this right?
Sorry, my first install ever. I ordered this all from Crutchfield. Thank You!!

And yes, you still need the Metra Axxess ASWC-1 for steering wheel controls.
