JDM A/C Controller + Custom ABS Radio Faceplate = Misery or Deliverance?
JDM A/C Controller + Custom ABS Radio Faceplate = Misery or Deliverance?
I have perused, trolled and scoured the Internet and these forums, hoping to find someone who has tried what I'm contemplating. I can find nothing and hoping someone can provide some guidance and or input.
I'm chomping at the bit to upgrade my factory stereo. I have to admit, for a POS Clarion factory unit, I think it sounds pretty freaking awesome...considering. However, I'm lusting over a particular headunit and the problem seems to be that the Metra and JDM do not make a double-DIN trim kit with A/C controls for the V36. Therefore, I've decided to take matters into my own hands, literally, and fabricate the trim using ABS plastic. But what I need to know is if the JDM A/C controls will plug into the factory harness for the 2007 G35 sedan? And will it operate as intended, if so? If not, the decision is made for me, unless someone knows of another viable option. I did contact Phil, at Grubbs Infiniti, who said he wasn't sure if this would work or not. I was hoping he might have something there he could try out for me, or had tried this in the past. But I didn't want to ask him to do it as I felt that was simply asking too much.
The short of it is: Has anyone fabricated a double-DIN trim for their 07\08 G35 sedan? And, if so, do you have any pics and or suggestions?
Thanks!

Fifth's Times the Charm!
You're right. It would make a great deal more sense to post there. And I did attempt to do so, four different times, last night. And each time I was told I was not authorized to post to the V36 A/V forum even though I was obviously logged in. I even logged out, cleared my cache, and logged back in. I really have no idea why I was denied as I've never had this issue in the past. That being said, I figured, under the General Discussion board, at least some people would see it. 
Today? I can post there with no worries.
Go figure.
