hey guys, im getting ready to do the dd install on a 04 g35x. here's my list of parts with some questions....

-eclipse avn6600
-eclipse ipc-106
-pac swi-ecl (have not purchased yet. anything new or better without the lag?)
-03-04 dd finisher
-03-04 dd bracket
-a/c controller
-antenna adapter
-scosche nn03 or metra 70-7551 (which one? i'll be using the stock bose system)
is there anything else i need????

im planning on using docron1's DIY for the coupe. will the install be the same for the sedan? any helpful advice/tips?

im about to put in the order for the dd kit from j's so it may be a while before i get this started. just wanna make sure i have everything i need before i tear up my car.

thanks

 

dont need bracket..
did u get the wiring harness in addition to the antenna adapter?

 

do i need to modify the stock bracket or something if i dont buy the dd kit bracket?
also, i havent purchased the wire harness or the antena adapter yet. dont know which one to buy if im gonna use the stock bose system.... scosche nn03 or metra 70-7551.

thanks

 

Seems like most when doing a DD install, you'll need to make an outer trim-ring, otherwise you'll have a gap around the edges. The stock bracket may need redrilling to align it correctly with new unit.

 

yea that is true.. the stock trims usually don't fit. However, i left mine without a trim and it looks perfectly fine..

 

thanks guys. anyone on the forums that sell a pre made trim kit or something like that or am i going to have to rely on my fabricating skills .... oh boy, i'll start preparing for some crazy headaches.

also, anyone knows if this will work... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=9716912983&category=32812
thanks again

 

do you have a pic?

 

If you have a Bose system, I would recommend the aftermarket HU adapter from Scosche. It massages the signals coming out of your aftermarket deck speaker wires to those more appropriate for the Bose Amp. Other than that, looks like you have everything. You will need a bunch of tap in connectors, etc.

 

thanks, would you happen to know a part number for the scosche harness?

 

i may have found it... do i need both the Scosche NN03 and the Scosche FAI-3A.

 

Yep both. The FAI-3A just handles the speaker output massaging for the Bose amp. The NN03 is your wiring harness adapter.

 

thanks

i went to the local stereo shop and they had a different steering wheel control device made by Peripheral i think. anyone have any info on this. i believe it is universal for any deck with an ir remote.

 

Don't buy that Peripheral one. Peripheral is knocking off all of PAC's units. Anyway, the PAC SWI-ECL is hardwired into your Eclipse head unit. Don't bother with the IR Remote ones.

 

thanks guys.

do i have to ground one of the wires coming out of the HU so the dvd player will work while im driving?

 

"Yeah you ground the parking brake wire, should be green.
