How to Add Auxiliary or iPod Input to the Factory Radio
No you can't control any of these from the nav unit. A couple of them allow you to control from the head unit and steering wheel and thats it.

If you're talking 03-07 coupe or 03-06 sedan, the answer is no.
Where is the OEM sat module located? I popped the liner off of the trunk and didn't see it. I didn't take the whole thing out but I just didn't see it in there. I have an '06 coupe with a BOSE stereo without navi and all of that. I'm about to just take it to Car Toys and let them charge me $130 just to install the OEM iPod kit that I already have.
My deck looks just like the one in this picture:

The installation seems simple enough. I'd rather avoid having to take it to Car Toys and get ripped off and just do it myself if possible.

Hey Wrathernaut, i'm hoping you can help me. I have an 04 non bose that is not wired for SAT.
I picked up the pac15-nis unit.
Once i was finally able to pull my cd player out i was extremely surprised with how many harness connectors i had on my stock unit.
There's 4 on the back two up top/two on bottom...do you know the breakdown on what they're for? Also to add to the confusion there's an additional harness on the right side of the stock deck that runs back to the firewall from the front-side of the unit. Have no idea what it is for either.
I was expecting two harnesses and an open one for my SAT connection. I however hooked up the pac15 harness to the top harness and plugged everything back together. Obviously it's not working lol..when i hit the sat button i get the "no sat" error so i'm assuming i didn't tap into the correct harness..
An image for reference, i used the top portion

There's two harnesses that go through the PA15 - look at the instructions in the manual - http://usaspec.com/userfiles/editor/...l_singlepg.pdf - page 12.
Ah...helpful links. Thanks OP.
I'm gonna take a look at mine now..since the CD player took a **** 2 months ago..
I assume I'd have to get the option 2 for the Infiniti, since mine is the Bose equipped?
One more question-if I get this
I assume after hooking it up, I'd need a separate charger kit for my Iphone 4? Like a car charger?

Whether your factory radio is the Bose "Premium" audio system or the non-Bose "Base" system, the options are identical.

Works with and charges iPhone (3G, 3Gs, 4, 4s), iPod Classic, Nano, and Touch.
Is there a way to wire my kit up so that it charges without having to spend any money? I heard that there was some sort of voltage converter or something for $30-50 but I was wondering if there was a cheaper way (DIY).
Can i still go for aux input if my bose system is not working fine? Just last week i got check disk error on bose system. I think the cd player system is toast. So instead of getting a new double din, can i just get a aux attach to this? Will it still work? thanks
