$1500 includes what exactly?

If it's a headunit with navigation, plus an amp, speakers, and sub, that's not bad.

If it's a basic headunit install and nothing else, that's terrible.

There's clear videos of both 03-04 and 05-07 radio removal. So long as you're not a total klutz and follow directions (like disconnecting battery and wiring according to the guide) it's quite easy to do.

 

thanks for a great guide im trying to install a DD soon.

 

Does anyone know if you can put a custom start up screen on an XAV-64BT? I'm trying to put the Infiniti logo. I've tried trying to figure it out and I cannot find any solution.

Thanks for the assistance.

Luis.

 

Nope.

 

Just completed an install of a Pioneer AVIC-X940BT with the ASWC in my '06 G35 Coupe...wanted to give a big THANK YOU ! to Wrathernaut and all the other contributors in this thread - with your diagrams, pictures, and videos, it was a relatively easy task and everything worked perfectly on my initial power-up. I built a soldered and wire-tied integrated wiring harness, including salvaging a SWC connector from the dead stock radio (great idea, thx!), and that made installing all of the harnesses much easier without cutting into any of the stock wiring.

All up, I added significant capability (nav, iPod support, BT hands-free, and XM/Sirius) for only about $300 over what it would have cost to have the factory audio finisher repaired (and mine was already replaced once before)...for anyone contemplating whether to go DD or fix the stock stuff, go DD!

FYI, Crutchfield has the X940BT on sale now for $549 (after $150 rebate), with free cable harness kit and antenna adapter, and the Metra JDM panel for $99 (yes, it sucks, but I saved $200+ for now) with free shipping and no tax...and the ASWC was on sale last week at Amazon for $45 shipped.

Thanks again!

I found this site while researching how to do this on my new Pioneer, you might want to ask there as there are a few hacks listed for how to change displays and get rid of the 'lawyer screens'... AVIC 411.

I am swapping my Eclipse DD in my G for a Kenwood DD I have in my Jetta. I bought a Jetta thinking I was going to sell my G because it was more economical but I just don't like it compared to my G even though its 5 years newer. I will just have to spend a little more on tires and gas for the 1800 miles I drive on average a month for work. A lot more fun to drive though!
Will the wire harness be the same or different?

 

I had the shop install my 8400 and everything is working fine with the exception of the GPS voice command. I was wondering if it's a wiring issue do I need to buy anything extra? or is it a settings issue? The GPS works fine but the voice command doesn't work since the double-din conversion.

 

Yes you will lose the voice command when you install a double din. There is a way to get the voice commands to work but i think its pretty complicated. There is more info on this at the first page of this thread.

 

With your 8400 you shouldn't really be using the factory navi anyways!

 

8400 doesn't have navigation.

 

With apps it does, right? Navi-x, waze etc

 

Depends on your iPhone and version of iOS, Motion-X Drive and INRIX traffic are the only ones listed, and you'll need a few more cables depending on your iPhone version too.

I'd say just use your smartphone separately from the radio to avoid incompatibility issues and whatever FREE guidance you want to use.

 

Wrathernaut, what are your thoughts on the new Kenwood DNX690HD? Thinking about picking one up for my wife.

 

So I am having some problems with my new install. I have a 05 g35 with Bose. I purchased a Jensen VM9225BT unit and a PAC ROEM NIS2 (no steering wheel hookup).

I followed the wiring diagram on the first page and hooked it up. The unit powers on but no sound. I hooked up the original to verify the speakers still worked and they did.

Not sure why the new HU doesnt produce sound (radio, cd or iphone)??

Any help appreciated!!!
