I have an 06 g35 coupe 6mt premium and i was wondering where i can find a double din conversion that looks original and stock.... anyone know?? im going to be installing a kenwood ddx-7017.

 

the 05 will work, you will loose bluetooth though.

 

bluetooth and steeringwheel mounted controls right??? thats the only thing keeping me from getting a deck, I wish one of these companies would make something so the steering wheel mounted controls would still work

 

there is, pac swi-x by pac audio, it will allow u to use the audio control volume and track searching button on the steering wheel to work BUT theres non adapter for teh bluetooth yet, tats why i want to install a computer to the Avic D1, it will allow bluetooth to work, BUT, how to get the bluetooth button to work=/ tats hard, i wanna know too. i know we can wire the mic on the roof to the microphone jack on the computer, but is there a service manual out there that shows the wiring for teh bluetooth button, i need tat haha.

 

If you are looking to retain your steering wheel controls with either the Kenwood ddx7017 or ddx 8017 take a look at the newly updated PAC ALP which now integrates directly into the aforementioned models WITHOUT the need of the remote IR like with the PAC SWI-X.

Bluetooth is separate unit located in the trunk. I could not find wiring diagram for 06 yet.
However, I am sure there is a possibility to integrate Bluetooth with aftermarket HU. My guess Alpine or Clarion will be the best choice for that.

 

here's one:

that kit is for the 03/04 and won't work with the 05/06.

 

You are correct; the unit is sitting on top of the Bose amp in my trunk. The 06 g35 Bluetooth (BT) unit in our cars appears to be made by Visteon. I took a look at their site and found some wiring diagrams for a similar aftermarket unit and I will see if I can't make it work with my upcoming install. What I'm looking for is the telephone mute wire (which will interface with most newer units including the Kenwood ddx7017 I'm installing with a telephone mute input) and the voice speaker out wires (not sure if they will be low level preamp, or high level post amp- the schematic for the Visteon includes connections for both). Once that is ironed out, integration with the Ken ddx or most other aftermarket HU's should be pretty straightforward.

One of the humorous things about the location of the BT unit is that it is sitting directly on top of the Bose amp and in all the docs for the BT unit it says to make certain to keep away from any other heat sources- just goes to show how wimpy the Bose amp is.

 

the bose amp is 200 watts right

 

Kenwood has a bluetooth unit, it is the kca-bt100--new for 2006. I think it will only work for Kenwood.
