Replacing stock 2003 refurbished unit.
I followed the YouTube video unit it came to the remove navigation unit. On the center of the back there two white plugs and on the drivers another white plug. These are not radio plugs because I have already disconnect they. I would really appreciate any help oh removing the nav plugs and does the nave have to come out with the CD/Radio or can the two be separated?
Thanks in advance...My mechanical skills are not the best!!

The radio and nav unit are on the same large bracket, so they do come out together, but they can be separated afterward. It's probably similar to the 05+ units, which I have a separation/disassembly video of here:

In vehicles equipped with factory bluetooth, the wires for the steering wheel controls go THROUGH the bluetooth adapter before they go to the radio. If you leave the bluetooth adapter connected, it will continue to intercept the steering wheel control inputs just like it always did. To allow the steering wheel control inputs to reach an aftermarket radio, those wires must be routed around the factory bluetooth adapter. The wiring modification is quite simple. Going into the bluetooth adapter harness, there are three pairs of identically colored red, green, and yellow wires. Cut them and solder each pair together.
Once you've done that, follow the programming instructions for your steering wheel control adapter and you'll be set.

First, thanks for the write-up it helped me a lot for my first G35 aftermarket stereo install, everything went smoothly. I have a question and I apologize in advance if the answer is somewhere on these forums - I have searched and searched and couldn't seem to find a solid answer so I had to resort to posting here. I own a 2006 G35 coupe w/Bose and factory nav, I am the second owner and the factory stereo had never been taken out prior to me installing my AVIC-X940BT. Everything works perfectly on it, except the dimmer. The factory stereo dimmed fine when the headlights came on. I am using the PAC ROEM-NIS2 and followed the wiring diagram to the T. But in the settings menu on my deck it shows "Illumination: Off" even with the headlights on; it's not getting the +12v through the solid orange wire on the PAC ROEM-NIS2.
I read in other threads on this forum that the pin with the solid orange wire doesn't actually connect to an occupied pin on the car's harness, but I also read that it does actually route to the red/blue wire that is actually responsible for providing the +12v signal when the headlights are on.
What am I missing? I couldn't be the only one that has ran into this problem. I've installed stereos many times in other cars with no problems and followed the directions exactly, and I doubt it's a problem on the car's side as the stereo has never been removed before. Any tips? Worst case scenario, what's the next easiest location to tap into? It's too bright to just live with and manually dimming in the settings menu is pretty impractical.

I guess the 06 w/nav is wired a little differently. After reading the thread below I took a closer look and sure enough, there was no wire from the car's harness that connects to the Orange wire on the Pac Roem (it's just an empty hole). I located the red w/blue stripe wire which is actually in the harness that controls the nav buttons (destination, back, etc), tapped into that wire and the dimming feature works perfect now.

Wrathernaut, first off, thanks so much for this incredible thread, knowledge available here is priceless. Threads like this have made my life so much easier, I do appreciate it.
I am at a standstill with programming the Steering Wheel Controls though, maybe you can help. Was unable to find any information regarding this problem or similar problems. The mode button works perfectly, the volume only works to go up and the scanning only goes up, (when you press downwards on the button, nothing happens) and the power button does not work at all.

Thanks for the info, I'll have to make an update to the main post to take care of this. I'm unsure if there's anywhere convenient for non-nav 06+ vehicles to get the lighting switch signal from.

Thanks for the swift reply!
I actually went to a local shop for the installation, I don't know jack about this stuff, the installer is very confident that the wiring is correct (I'm not as sure) and says that its a programming issue he can't solve, is there anything else you can tell/show me so I can prove to him that its a wiring issue? A picture of the correct wiring would be incredible, if possible.
Is this the only solution or could it be something else?
