Also while im here and you've helped me out so much already, while I do my install do you need me to snap pictures of anything specific? Ill be doing, jdm dd kit, HU, ASWC, door componenets, 6x9, 70-7551, ant. adapter. I already have a sub using the PAC NIS OEM1 Let me know if I can be of help to your or the thread.
Good pictures of completely wired up ASWC and the 70-7551 to the headunit's harness would be useful, as the instructions from Metra for the ASWC aren't the greatest, and some people seem to think tying the harnesses together is more complicated than it really is.

I'll join in on the back slapping. My system isn't in yet but he's already made the process much easier. I would have struggled for the answers he has easily provided.

I don't know what else there is to say that hasn't already been said in this thread.

I pm'd him a handful of times and he was very helpful. I had never installed a car stereo before but with the information he provided in his resource thread I was able to get the job done. I used everything except the double din trim ring he suggested, but only because I picked up another trim ring at a local shop for cheap.

I'll be posting pics of what I managed to do with the information he supplied and the tips he gave.

Thanks Wrathernaut!!!

I actually used the Metra 70-7551 Harness, Metra 99-7604B and the AXXESS ASWC worked perfect for me!

That’s exactly right! I looked into it and basically the speeds are stored as fixed gearshift programs. Depending on which speed the driver selects, the controller is supplied with the ratio as a set point and maintains it.

There are only a few manufacturers that have adopted this and ones I can think of are Audi and Nissan

I've attached a picture of the steering wheel and paddles of the 350GT-8

Well, I have a garage. It's worked as a shop well enough for me.

But I'm pretty sure the drive wouldn't be worth it.
