05 can use any of them. You're pre-wired for satellite so you can use the trunk-harness options, or the back of the radio options.

 

Thank You sir. Are these fm modulators or direct aux input?

 

Direct aux.

 

Hello all. I've done the PAC install (can't remember the model number, but I believe it's the one with two AUX inputs) and have had it for almost two years now, but am tired of how quiet the system is compared to CDs/Radio. I know that this is to be expected, but I was just wondering if anyone has tried a volume booster, or know if it would help at all with this setup? I was looking at this one from Boostaroo. I have an 06 G35x Sedan with Bose and bluetooth btw.

Hello all, I'm having trouble installing the iSimple ISNI531. I have a '03 G35 automatic with nav. Radio has a SAT button but car does not have a SAT radio.

Let me start by saying that after I bought the aux unit I noticed the package says it supports G35 04-07. So this may be my mistake, however I thought the '03 radio is identical to the '04, so I tried anyway. In fact, my radio looks exactly like this: http://media.caranddriver.com/images...s-1280x782.jpg

The installation instructions weren't particularly detailed, but I loosened the radio from the dash, hooked up the aux unit with 1 connection to the radio (the only one that fit), and plugged in the wire to the aux unit, turned the car on. I did not mess with the dip-switches as there is a sticked over them and no corresponding instructions in the manual.

Pressing SAT yielded a "NO SAT" message. I tried pressing other buttons, pressing Tune/Seek right after pressing SAT, and a few others like FM/AM, CAT, etc.. Tried redoing this while my phone was playing music. Tried disconnecting and reconnecting twice. Nothing.

Anyone have any idea what is going on? Is the '03 radio different from the '04 which may mean this unit really isn't compatible with the '03? For those of you who have the same radio, can you please share how installed the aux unit?

 

The early '03 radios are not compatible with the aux input adapters that directly interface with the radio. Not sure if yours is early or not, but you can get a cassette adapter, or a wired FM modulator and they'll work with early '03 just fine.

Early '03s (on the right) have a much smaller gap between the CD slot and the display, and a larger gap between the buttons than the late '03s to '04s:

 

Wow thanks a lot Wrathernaut. Mine is definitely early, there is almost no gap between display and CD player. I'm probably gonna go the cassette adapter route, but are there any direct aux input units that work with this early version of G35 radio?

 

The early '03 radios are not compatible with the aux input adapters that directly interface with the radio.

I'd personally go with a wired FM modulator, since that allows you to route the wires into the glovebox, above-radio compartment or center console instead of having that thing sticking out of the front of the radio. Sound quality with the wired modulator's I've used is good enough you'd probably not tell the difference unless you've got good speakers and the vehicle is stopped. Another route to look into is directly wiring a 3.5mm jack to the audio signal from the read head of the cassette deck - http://www.instructables.com/id/Mod-...-Ipod-%26-MP3/

 

This connects to the trunk harness (I'm pretty sure from looking at the pictures) and has a USB for an android/USB stick, iPod/AUX-IN and bluetooth......I'm an iPhone hater and have been looking for an easy way to hook up the android.....does this look legit to all you audiophiles at there?? Also forgive my mis-understanding, but the AUX-IN is for my factory SAT to plug into?

 

Grom's legit, there expandable which is cool, but you don't have control over your phone from the deck or steering wheel.

 

That grom unit is included in the first post of this thread already. It connects to the back of the radio.

 

Nice. does the radio display the file name and are you able to go to the nexxt track with the radio controls while using usb? I might switch from my PA15to that if so.

Wrather, I bet you dont know this one,,which two wires to cross or whatever if possible can be done to switch the short press seek input into the long press seek input? with the pa15 i have to hold the next track button on the wheel for 3 secs to get to the next track on the ipod.

 

I don't have the grom manual available right now, but I'm pretty sure

It's not an issue of wiring. The steering wheel controls merely output a certain voltage when a button is pressed, it's entirely up to the adapter that is reading that output to decide what to do with it. The buttons might as well just be saying "OOOO" and your device is programmed to skip tracks when it hears "OOO". Holding the button down just has the car say "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" and the device is programmed to fast forward so long as that "OOOOOOOOO" keeps going. So if you want the button to perform a different function, it's up to the adapter. You could change wiring and make an "OOOO" button become an "AAAA" button, but our cars just have two remote wires, so the signals are limited to three different "volumes" of the "OOOO" and "AAAA".

 

Oh..Thanks.

I'd like to see a demo of that grom.

 

The Grom unit will allow track info to be displayed only when using the Aalinq app, and only while connected via usb (NOT Bluetooth.) App is free from Playstore.
