Has anyone replaced the factory radio on their '05 sedan yet? I have a $900 flip screen waiting to be installed but i have to find the a/c controller, bracket, and trim for the '05. I heard you dont need the bracket though, is this true?

 

Do a search. There are plenty of people that have done this and from what I've heard, no you don't need the bracket. Although it costs more then the previous model too.

 

are you kiddin me?

yo scroll down next time you will see a bunch of threads and if im not mistaken there is also a STICKY!!!!!

 

No, I dont think anyone has done a DD install on a G35 yet. In fact, I dont think anyone has done a DD install on any Nissan cars.

 

Done it, check my sig...and yes, you don't need the bracket.

 

Do a search man, or look at the sticky up top...I cant imagine it would be different for a sedan?

 

I checked the sticky, but it doesnt have any pics of installs or anyone that has done it on an '05. and I could only find the a/c controller for the 03/04

 

Kia, Help This Guy Out

 

^u guys suck at the internet!^

I did the DDIN on a 05 G35X. Pretty easy, my only issue was that I did not install something that filled the entire space (like a double din touchscreen). I went with a Kenwood and a pocket.

The stock bracket works; however, the location of the bracket holes left a gap when the pocket was installed. There was also a slight space on the top of the pocket and just below the Kenwood.

The JDM bracket holes are farther forward, and eliminated the pocket gap. I had to make a piece of plastic trim to cover the space between the pocket and the Kenwood.

I highly recommend the service manual. If you follow those instructions, it should be a snap to take everything apart. I ordered all the parts for J's Garage, nice guy, easy to work with.

 

I did a Double Din Pioneer AVIC D1 in my 05 G35 Coupe. I installed the Ipod controller and the steering wheel control interface. I even threw in the aftermarket premium rearview mirror with homelink. I did a full writeup with pics. Do a search.

You can get the DD kit from Yosi at J's Garage. It costs about $400. You don't need a bracket. You need the new front panel, and a new AC controller. Tell Yosi what car you have, and he will get you the right stuff. It comes from Japan, took around a week.

Anyway, my steering wheel controls can control my Ipod (which sits in the glove).

Here are a couple fun pics for you...
