And I was wondering, how easy would it be for someone to steal my new stereo? I have some friends who have had their stereos stolen before, but those were the single din units and different cars. This one(and I assume all double din) doesn't have a detachable face or anything.

Sorry, I might try to reinstalling the navi someday(yeah right) or maybe try to sell it on ebay.

If the radio isnt turning on, check red(on/off signal from the ignition), yellow(power source from battery, chk inline fuse) and black(ground)
If the bose amp or aftermarket amp isnt turning on, chk blue/white, i believe solid blue is the antenna...
now for the bolded section, you said high +'s are connected? what high +'s were you referring to? is that on the PAC or your HU? ugh well i just went to the website n looked up your unit's compatibility and it doesnt have the G35 listed :/ and its updated as of today

i would be going back. get the correct parts, take them to them, and make them do it right, imo
and is that just a bigass hole where the navi used to be???

I didn't really care too much because I've rarely used my navi in the past two years. It's not touchscreen, it takes forever to type in stuff, you can't just search for businesses, and I have to pull over to type anything. I just use my android phone with google maps and navigation.
EDIT: They didn't exactly tell ME they could do it. My mom and dad brought my car in first without me. When I checked the receipt later, I told my mom I doubted the metra kit would fit with the navigation. She told me not to worry and that they're professionals(nope lol). I went in yesterday with my dad and picked out the stereo I wanted and they installed it. So I guess I should blame my mother? lol

I posted a picture. There's a little pocket to put stuff now.
