Single din conversion questions
Hi everyone,
Sorry if this is in the wrong spot, I'm new here (yes I did research first). I recently bought a '06 G and I've lived with a malfunctioning CD player since I bought it, and have finally had enough of only being able to listen to the radio. I've been looking into single din dash kits, and I only seem to be finding the Metra one. I don't mind the look of it (with the black buttons anyway), I am curious if anyone makes one that uses a **** instead of a up/down button for the temperature control - like the oem set up.
Metra controls:

oem 06+ controls:

I realize you can get a oem jdm double din setup that uses the oem control setup, but I'd rather do single din. And no I don't really care for the ipod integration into the factory unit. Oh, and I assume the Metra kits buttons are plug and play?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

The only aftermarket kit for our cars is the Metra kit.

Hey, I just got a single din done just today. I opted for the Metra kit and everything fits fine. Just you can feel the paint quality isn't up to par. I love my metra kit so far, I didn't feel like cashing out 360 on just a JDM double din because I was never big on audio in the first place. Overall I spent around 300 dollars for everything, the Bose adapter, antenna adapter, single din, metra kit, and 100 for install. So 400 to have all my ac and radio work was a big plus to me.

Thanks everyone for the replies! Bobalob, are the buttons made from plastic or rubber? Does it feel like the icons on them will one day rub off, everything is plug and play? Mind you I have an '06 so the molding on mine would be different, but I think the controls would be the same. Speaking of which, with the jdm double din it looks like you need to do some work to retain to the dual climate control, so I think I'll pass on that option though it certainly does look cleaner.
And would I also need the bose adapter? Or do you mean the Infiniti to (insert brand) harness? What about the antenna adapter, required?
Last question, sorry: Where should I buy it from, any recommended places? Otherwise I'll just ebay/amazon it.
