Yo is there a reverse lamp wire up front some where? for the rear view camera signal wire to tap into. Im sure I once read a post Wrathernaut saying its a purple wire but I can't find the post so I wanna double check. I'm not tryna run another wire from the rear of the car to the deck. Also you guys think its safe for me to get the 12v for the camera from my amps distributor block?
Thanks
Thanks
I don't know the exact wire up front, I've never put a rear camera in so never had the need to look it up.

Getting ready to do my aftermarket DD swap into my 03 G35 sedan with Bose. My JDM DD kit should be here soon.
I'm still on the fence about getting the steering wheel controller part because cutting OEM wires and such. The car will be sold in June/July when the Subaru BRZ comes out. I'll likely pull everything and put the Bose back into. The fewer parts, the better I'm thinking.
Questions:
1) Can I use the OEM headunit mounting bracket? I'm getting a DD headunit.
2) Is the DD trim piece/surround definitely needed or should I wait until I get my headunit and test fit into the JDM DD finisher?

2) It'll leave a gap with most units if you don't get the trim, but if you are getting rid of the car, don't bother.

You'll want to solder it to the new headunit's harness, but other than that, it doesn't require cutting the factory harness. The steering wheel controls, however, still need to be tapped into the factory wiring.
#652
Well, if you remove the harness from your stock headunit, it plugs right back into the same harness that was plugged into it before. None of the harnesses back there are interchangeable, so it's pretty much idiot-proof if it's put together right.
