What is a double din?
is that i connector? I know it has somthing to do with the radio/ac issue.
Question if i get an aftermarket radio installed will that cure the ac/radio issue?
there are way too many threads on this with fixes but no straight answers.

No it's a "standard" size of the radio, it's a size of a radio, it has nothing to do with the radio/ac issue, except that it's a size of the radio you can put in place of the factory headunit, yes but you need more than the radio. There's plenty of threads with straight answers. Start with this one: https://g35driver.com/forums/audio-v...urce-list.html

Yes, new radio w/dash kit will fix the climate control issue.

Look at his guide. You unscrew a few screws and the units out. Then you take apart the old stereo from the Front piece, swap pieces and back in it goes.

metra is your cheapest option, doesnt look as good as the oem dd kit.

I found my oem dd kit on the forums, used. saved a bunch of money.

I need your help Wrathernut I've searched on here for a while about the HVAC/Radio issue and I have checked the fuses the a/c sensor as well as taking the connector ribbon from the cd to the radio its self off and nothing has changed I have nothing no steering controls no radio a/c blows on high on 60 non stop and occasionally changes from high to low? I have also checked to see if I had loose resistors and there is no sign of that on my circuit board what do you suggest?
