Carlos Hickaman, armed with an engineering background, took on the task of painstakingly separating the air conditioning and heating components form the factory radio in his customer's 2004 Infiniti G35, enabling him to add an aftermarket multimedia system without losing dash functions. He did, however lose steering wheel controls -- for now.
Seriously though, this installation is a single-din unit and a headrest monitor?
Similarly, the steering wheel interface was also known and taken care of back then on JVC units. $10,000 in labor and you can't get the steering buttons wheel to work?
And in comparison to using the JDM pieces available at the time, it's a lot of wasted effort for something that IMO, looks worse.
But seriously this quote sold me on the craziness:
As for what his 16 year-old customer and his parents thought of the install...
16 years old. G35 coupe. $22,000 in mods.
Where's the follow up on the story that he wrecked it 3 days later showing off for his friends?
And not to like hate, but that original thread has a lot of "That cost me..." instead of "Mommy and daddy paid..." stuff.
I like the trunk except for the paint, and the rest of the audio is solid, but the choice and install of the headunit definitely is a waste. I know it was done in '05, but there must have been a better option to put in there.
