I need some advice on replacing the OEM Bose radio in 2004 G35 coupe with Navigation. My first question is that is the Navigation connection and operation independent of the radio. What I mean is that if I replace the radio with an aftermarket radio, will the navigation still work? I am trying to replace the radio with an android version radio with built in tablet, Navigation, DVD and many other nifty features. Here is the link on ebay:

Copy and paste this link on your search bar to see all the features. Amazing product. Has anyone tried this? I am trying to install it in my NSX also which is relatively simple as the NSX has no navigation and steering wheels radio controls.

 

I actually have one of those in my g and I love it.

 

How difficult was the installation and did you retain factory Navigation?
Further, do you need WiFi or a cell phone hot spot to work with this radio. How is the sound quality?

 

Installation was just as easy as any other radio (if you done it before) sound quality is great (I may be a bit biased because the previous owner had a dual Walmart radio in it Smh.) I didn't have factory navigation so I can't speak on that but the GPS on this unit is flawless and yes you need to provide a wifi signal or a 3g signal to use features that require it. I just use the hotspot on my phone

 

Yes, nav works independent of the radio.
