The black wires should be grounded to the body. GIve that a try, if not, you may have to track down the amp ground and ground it to the body as well.

 

Thanks for the reply mate, I'll give it a crack tonight!appreciate your patience with my noobishness.
The G35 (V35 here) isn't very common here in Oz as it's a JDM import, so there isn't a huuuuuge amount of info or help available.

 

Quick question. Going down the shopping list, I also have a D3 will the scosche universal ring in the shopping list do the job or is there a "dash kit" I should buy? I read that the pioneers fit a little smaller in the JDM double din.

Thanks

 

You just need the JDM trim kit and the scosche trim ring.

 

The scosche trim ring will fill the gap between the D3 and the JDM trim kit.

 

^^ I gotta hand it to you, this post HELPED me tremendously!! And now I hope it may help me again....
Did I miss a page where you describe how much of PITA it is to put it all back!! lol I am having issues getting the trim to sit flush I think it is all the wires in the way but I can't seem to move them in a way to make it all fit. I am about 2 inches away....

Any advise?

 

I believe you're trying to put it in with the upper bracket that goes in the clock region going *under* one of the parts in the dash. Pull the radio out a bit, reach through the clock hole and grab the top of the bracket and guide it into position.

In my car, I've got the normal wiring harness, factory navigation unit, bluetooth mic wire, the GPS antenna cable (about 10' of extra cord), the steering wheel adapter, an HD Radio receiver, the iPod cable and 3 pair of RCAs all going through or stored in that area. There's plenty of room.

 

Wow, there is hope. So your saying that metal piece that lines up with that metal piece under the clock goes on top and not below it? I have been tryin to put it under all this time...

 

About to place my order for my car and wanted to make sure I'm not missing anything. I already have a JDM DD kit and I dont plan in using steering wheel controls.

Pioneer AVHP8400 / AVH-P8400BH / AVH-P8400BH In-Dash 2-DIN DVD Receiver with 7.0 LCD.

Metra 40-NI10 Nissan Antnna Adapter.

Pioneer CDIU201S Advanced App Mode USB Interface Cable.

PAC ROEMNIS2 Factory Premium Sound Interface Headunit Replacement, For Select Nissan Vehicles.

Parking Brake Override Bypass Fully Automatic Video in Motion Pioneer Custom for AVH-P8400BH Better then PAC TR7.

Am I missing anything? Thanks in advance!

 

I'm really surprised at not spending the $30-40 for the steering wheel adapter. Having those handy, tactile buttons for volume and skipping tracks are really nice when the alternative is to look at the unit to guide your fingers to an otherwise flat, featureless surface (either the screen or the buttons on the bottom).

You'll need something to fill the gap between the JDM trim and the 8400, I've used the scosche universal trim piece from my shopping list, and it's easy to cut & trim, but others have used black felt or any other piece of flat black plastic to do the job.

 

can you be more thorough like give a name to each of the components shown in the diagram on how to build this setup so i can retain my navi voice?

The only component on there is a 3PDT relay, the rest is just wires or a low-voltage indicator bulb.

Like I said, take the diagram to somebody who knows electronics, and they won't have a problem understanding it or putting it together. If you don't, you probably shouldn't.

 

For anyone looking for the Scosche universal double din trim ring, get it here for $6.50 w/ free shipping. Do not go to Amazon, they charge $10 to ship this little piece of plastic.

AVH-P8400BH dvd receiver. Hello I have a question about the harness of the pioneer, on the manual there is color coding to install the harness to my vehicle infiniti g35 sedan 04:

orange/white it says next to it connect to lighting switch (what is that exactly, is that the same as Orange color wire illumination dimmer wire line to vehicle?) (my harness pac oem-1 has two wires, orange for illumination dimmer line, also has a orange/ white strip line, so i was confused to which I should connect to?

second question, the white/blue line says connect to amp turn on on car vehicle, Can I tap it also to the power antenna wire solid blue line together since my car has a power antenna line too?

Thank you for your help
