Wrathernaut's Double-Din Installation FAQ, Shopping and Resource List
G35Dude - do you have any lag when using the Metra Axxess ASWC controller? I'm getting ready to swap out my Kenwood to the AVH3200DVD and was considering using the Metra because I can't stand the lag on the Kenwood using the PAC ???? (whatever # it is) steering wheel control unit that a originally installed w/ the Kenwood.
Wrathernaut - my Kenwood sounds good using the 70-7551, would you still reccommned the PACROEM-NIS2? by looking at the pictures of it, it doesn't appear to have RCAs to plug into the HU, or am I missing something?
Thanks.

You can map the "PWR" button to whatever you want, however, Pioneer units don't support any sort of power command through steering wheel remote buttons.
I mapped the PWR button to mute, seemed the closest thing.

And here's the photo CFernando sent me, showing where the Metra kit had to be cut (on both sides) in order to make it work.

Here's the fit of the JDM:

From what the guy who did it said, all that was required was trimming some of those areas so it could slide up and down smoothly.
The fitment still wasn't great though, as the curve on the metra isn't exactly the same.

I have an 07 coupe with Bose (no nav).
I ordered the Kenwood DNX6960 (I like the fact that they use Garmin technology). I bought the JDM trim for the 07 and the AC controller.
I also purcased:
Metra 40-NI10 Nissan Antnna Adapter
PAC SWIJACK Steering Wheel Remote Interface
Metra 70-7551 Amplifier Integration Harness
The Harness is where I have the question. I plan on keeping the Bose amp for now. If I do add an amp, it will probably just be for a sub. With this plan in mind, should I have gotten the PAC ROEMNIS2 or the Metra 70-7550?
Thanks for the help.

Not that I can tell. I think it's just a different manufacturer.

Good for navigation if you have an address. Its POI database is PATHETIC without the ~$100 add-on POI card though.
