Whoosh is the sound my head makes when I read over your first post again.

The major difference between the first and second type are whether they connect at the back of the radio (Nissan-type) or at the satellite radio harness in the trunk (Infiniti-type). Nissan-type connect at the back of the radio, and as such, require removal of the factory radio (link at the bottom of the first post.

Thanks for not responding
Also, what should I do about my iPhone 5? Can I just use the lightning adapter?

I did read it,but im not exactly stereo inclined...Was wanting the easiest route,which was thinking the plug and play option..Going in the trunk of SAT..but not sure on how this works..Just don't want the hassle of pulling head unit out if possible..Sorry im a stereo noob
Urbanengineer, with an 05 is almost certainly pre-wired for satellite and can use the PA15-INFI and just hook it up in the trunk.

Having a SAT button only means you have a button with the letters S-A-T on it. Sadly it seems whatever button sheets were closer to the installer on the assembly line were put in, regardless of whether the car was unwired, wired for, or equipped with the satellite adapter. I'd check the trunk for the satellite adapter harness first, but chances are great that you don't have the wiring.

Anyrate, attached you will find pictures of the SAT box in the trunk. Im not knowledgable about all the electronics, but hope by the pictures, you can guide me on whether this SAT box is wired or unwired... and which auxiallary option I should go for. The last two pics are of the connections to the SAT box angled the camera from the engine towards the back of the car

That's not a satellite receiver. That's your amplifier.
However, I'm pretty sure that this is your satellite harness:
If you can get a better picture of it, I can try and confirm, but I'm pretty sure that's it.
Edit: For some reason there's virtually nothing about the satellite radio tuner in the factory service manuals, except in the 2006 sedan manual, however, they should all be the same plug, if not the same colors. The plug should have 6 terminals on the side separated by the harness clip, and ten terminals on the other.

For anyone that would like a extremely cheap option Crutchfiled has this sony system marked down from 250 to 49.99 SHIPPED.

Considering this unit outputs a speaker-level signal, it's going to cause problems if you have the bose amplifier, so I wouldn't recommend it at all for anyone with the bose system.
Additionally, you're not going to get any sort of control of anything but volume through the factory headunit, so you'll have to rely on the handheld remote or direct control via the iPod to do anything with it.

Wrathernaut, thanks for taking time to post this great info. It's very helpful.
Earlier this year I purchased an '07 Coupe with the Bose system and Navigation. It also has working satellite radio which I believe is aftermarket (was factory satellite even an option?). I currently use an Android phone (Samsung Galaxy Note 2) and would like to play phone audio through the sound system.
My original intent was to just add a 3.5mm audio jack to use a cable to connect to the phone. The Pacific Audio Corporation PAC ISNI531 seems to be the least expensive way to do this. After reading through your post I started thinking about the possibility of using bluetooth to transfer the audio signal using the USA-SPEC PA15-INFI. However I'm not certain this would work for an Android phone. It sounds as if all of the additional features with this module (such as using the steering controls to select songs) works on Apple products only. Is that correct? Additionally, I'm assuming my satellite harness in the trunk is already being used.
So it sounds like for an Android phone a 3.5mm audio cable is the only option and I should use the PAC ISNI531. Do you agree? Thanks so much for your help.

The factory service manual for the '07 coupe lists pins 33, 34, 35, 36 at the satellite adapter (21, 22, 23 and 24 at the radio), end up being arranged in a 2x2 square on one side, so they should be easy enough to find.
The wires at the radio harness (M90) are:
Left+ RED
Left- GREEN
Right+ BLACK
LEFT- WHITE
The wires at the satellite radio harness are:
Left+ Blue/Green
Left- Blue/Yellow
Right+ Orange/Blue
Right- White/Blue
You can tap them at the back of the radio, or follow the wires from the satellite adapter in trunk to somewhere in the main cabin. They stay the same color from the adapter to the radio.
