Just installed my DD
I decided to upgrade the stereo in my G.
I bought the Clarion VX400. It has BT, plays DVD, Sirius, HD radio, iPhone/iPod control.
I am not going to go into the "how-to" cause it has already been documented here a few times.
I used this video to help me remove and replace it.
Infiniti G35 Radio Replacement
I used the Metra Kit for the dash. Now this kit is ok. For a $150 kit, I would expect a little more from it. A little more R&D and this would be a nice kit. Metra's directions say to install one way and buy the time you need to install the metal bracket on the back, it doesn't fit so well. So I had to modify it so it would. Its got a flush fit and I like it. The buttons do look out of place, but it would do.
I also got the Metra harness also. This harness seems to work good. My problem with it is that for some reason it sounds a little distorted. But I have only played the radio on it so far, as it was freakin hot when I got done.
So here is my after pic.

The Metra buttons are cheap, that's why they look cheap.
But not to take anything away from Stephen's set up, the Metra kit, in my opinion actually matches the trim for the 03-04 models. I don't think it looks bad at all. I just wish it had better buttons then those crappy ones.
I can't wait to see it in person, Stephen. I'm assuming you will be at the dyno day on the 28th?
