Thanks to the inspiration of this thread, I hardwired my 8500 today. As and FYI, the fuse taps from Radio Shack didn't work on my 05. Way too big to fit in the socket with the fuse. The fuses on my G are about 1/2 the size of the fuses on my other car.
Thanks again!

Guys I have asked this a couple of times but no one seems to have the answer. Will the wire kit pictured below work with a g35 mirror, as far as plugging in goes? I could just look at the mirror on the car, but mine doesnt come in till end of the month. I am thinking if I cant just plug it in like the website says I can prolly splice the wires together?

i mounted mine on the rear view mirror the same as GoSooners.....pulled power from the mirror wires and did not have to run wires anywhere and the power is switched on and off with the ignition
i searched here and 350z.com and found this guy, Mike (email addy below)....he makes the bracket with or without a "Z" on the back........$20......bolts right in there. I had to adjust my mirror and then adjust the location of the bracket to get it just right, but easy stuff..........if you decide to do the install like i did (no remote) you can use the power from the mirror for a very easy install........there are 3 mirror wires, black (ground), black with red stripe (dont know), black with pink stripe (power)......just slice the cover over the mirror wires (be careful) then cut back the insulation on the 2 wires. I used the remote kit (bought it from Passport) cut the "telephone wires" to the correct length, exposed the power and ground and then soldered the wires to the mirror.....

TomCat, if the cord does not work for you, I do offer returns on a limited basis. Since this is yet another untried vehicle make/model, I am very happy to work closely on any issues with anyone here with using my InvisiCord. It is generic, it fits any vehicle since you can almost always find a harness that has switched power near the windshield (mirror, overhead console, etc).

Appreciate your offer, but its all good, I dont think its worth the trouble for a small amount of money. My delivery date is the 14th so ill post the results soon.
