Would be nice to have an indash 6cd/dvd LCD headunit. However, would an indash 6-cd/dvd mechanism are most likely to have problems than a single slot cd/dvd mechanism? I see those problems from factory oem Ford and Honda indash 6-cd headunits. Also the reason I went with a double din instead of a single-din LCD, is the possible problems that may occur later from the opening and closing of the LCD screens. Those ribbon cables tend to go bad on those single-din headunits.

any pics of the Z1, CES has one but it is blurred. I went on the Japan site but it is hard to match the exact model and features.

Wouldn't the JDM Skyline conversion work in a 2005? If it does, it'll seperate the A/C controls from the headunit and they'll be independent. These pictures were from a local shop here in Houston that does it, www.innovativerides.com

The conversion is slightly different than the 03-04, you need the 2005 Double Din Finsher kit available through Grubbs

I don't believe the 05' DD kit is available yet through Grubbs..all they have are the 03-04's if I'm not mistaken

Grubbs has kits for both the 05-06 and 03-04 right now. They are just hard to locate.

03-04 kits can be found in G35 Sedan -> Entertainment -> Audio -> Double Din Conversion

It is pretty conviluted. Here is a link to those 03-04 parts for the sedan at Grubbs
http://www.grubbsperformance.com/Mer...doubledinSedan

for 03 & 04 coupes: Home: G35 Coupe: Electronics: Audio: Double Din Conversion
http://www.grubbsperformance.com/Mer...doubledinCoupe

pretty sure they are the same parts though

The 05-06 parts are available on the main homepage as "featured" or "popular" items.

Good luck.

I called Pioneer, they hae little info but the new Avic z1 will play DVDs if the the car is in park, so it will be easy probaly to rig while in motion

Anyone know if it will play 5.1 DTS w/ a Pioneer decoder?
