Wrathernaut's Double-Din Installation FAQ, Shopping and Resource List
I have much appreciation for you wrathernaut. Did my double din install on an 05 with bose sound and used
1. Metra 40-NI10
2.Metra 70-7550 (Non-Bose) Wiring Harness.
3. the jdm trim
4. for power steering control, the headunit came with a connecter so i just spliced the factory wires and it works great
anywho, thanks alot for the detailed information
, because I was really close to purchasing the jdm without the a/c control before i read this.
p.s. the sound is way louder than stock. No problems with the metra setup

Sorry, its hard to get a great picture in the dark, but heres one of all the lights and one with the best flash i could with the least glare. the unit is a eonon d2208, nothing fancy mainly bought it because it looks nice, had customizeable colors and the usual dvd and ipod feature


I also wired in a relay which is controlled by the Blue/white amp trigger which will ground the green (parking brake) wire after the head unit is powered up. I also attached to the blue/white trigger wire is the power antenna wire.
Just got the ASWC steering wheel interface, in the instructions the tell you to go to their site and get the information on your specific car, I looked but found nothing.

The 4 wires on the pac harness are unused.
The Axxess website sucks. I couldn't find it either.
Wrathernaut came through with the link:

The wiring for head unit itself and the bypass are easy to understand and do, the steering wheel controller (METRA AXXESS ASWC UNIVERSAL OEM STEERING WHEEL CONTROL (latter referred to as MAAUOSWC)) is *issing me off. The black wire from the metra controller goes to system ground and the red goes to accessories power which can be attached into the cable coming from the head unit.
On the G35 schematics that there is three wires coming off the steering wheel audio control switch, g (green or Grey), r (red) and y (yellow). I am assuming that they must connect back to the MAAUOSWC, which wires do you use, etc?
Where is this 16 pin connector? The harness that came with the PAC ROEM-NIS2 Nissan/Bose Radio Replacement Interface 1 doesn't have a 16 pin connector, at the rear it has a ten and six pin connector.
Help needed.

The two connectors on the PAC ROEM NIS2 will only connect to the two oem audio harnesses. They are in the bundle of five connectors that were removed from the factory radio. So, there are 2 that connect to the PAC ROEM NIS2, 1 that will connect to the JDM (or Metra) AC controller, 1 with only 4 wires (Red, Yellow, Green, White/Green stripe) is for the steering wheel controls and will connect to the Axxess ASWC, and there is one oem connector that is unused.
You can either tap into the oem steering wheel harness or cut it off completely (if you never plan on reinstalling stock radio) to make your connections.
On the Axxess ASWC the grey/red wire connects to the red wire on the oem steering wheel harness.
The white/green wire on the Axxess ASWC connects to the green wire on the oem steering wheel harness.
The yellow wire on the oem steering wheel harness goes to same ground as
the rest of your PAC ROEM grounds.
The last white/green stripe wire on the oem steering wheel control harness is unused.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for your help.

The power signal wire is the blue/white from the headunit, if I remember the 4200 correctly.The Red wire will also work, but it's not the proper way to do it according to standards. Definitely do not use the yellow wire, or you'll find your battery very drained and unable to start the car.

You'll tap the red wire for power to the ASWC, and you can share grounds as well. The rest of its wiring is between the ASWC and wires from another of the factory harnesses.
That worked! Finally after almost 13 hours of work (I'm a newbie at those things) I have the pioneer avh-4200dvd installed! I used the Metra kit (which by the way now offers the dual-ac controls out of the box) and the ASWC steering wheel. I have a 2003 Sedan.
One thing I messed up is the parking brake bypass. I thought grounding the wire would work but it's not enough anymore. Ah well.
Thanks Wrathernaut, I couldn't have done it without your guide and live help.
Take care all.

Now I need to install the Metra ASWC power-wheel control... will that change anything to the wiring I currently have?
