So I am new to this forum and new to the G35 Coupe . I just picked up an 06 that literally fell int my lap. I am not a mechanic but mechanically inclined so I look forward to reading the How To's and checking out your projects as well as working on mine.
Right off the bat I dropped it off at the paint shop as the guy who owned it pre me ran into financial trouble but had already had it at a body shop for a color change.
While thats going on I am trying to find the factory Boss 6 disc but from all the pics I have seen they are different from what I have

 

Yep, that's an aftermarket Metra faceplate. Read the sticky at the top of the audio sub-forum from Wrathernaut to get the lowdown on retrofitting sound. You don't really want to pursue the Bose headunit, but the Metra route is a pretty sad second choice from the visual quality. Read up, you'll find the way. Welcome and good luck with the ride. You're right. It needs paint!

 

I just got a used metra kit
Buttons are wack
Fitment is bad too

What color are you getting it?

 

^^You must not read a lot on here. Almost all of us say the Metra is crap..... Try to sell that POS and get a JDM faceplate, best money you'll spend on your car.

 

I hope there's a lot more of the dash. You need the center radio stack section, but it looks like they took that when they took the radio. You'll have to find a junkyard source, most likely.

 

What you see as far as the dash is what it came w/ I have been looking around on a few sights for stereo equipment but again I bought it on a Wed. dropped it off at the Paint Shop right around Xmas. Ik literally drove it from the shop where I was able to get it on a lift to the Body shop less than 10 miles. The Metra Kit came w/ it. So yes please point me in the right direction for the dash parts I will need and a good replacement head unit suggestion.
Also What size wheels are you all running after you lower your G? I would like to find something Staggered

 

Yes i missed that

Every where i read they say its crap but i got it for cheap so while i find a used jdm one (or get tired of looking and just buy it new) it will do
My stock radio doesnt have aux and the cd doesnt work

 

Thanks for the pic witch helps w/ my question at the very top above the Stereo and HVAC Controls is that a storage compartment or does the NAV screen raise up from there ?

 

Edgarc6789 Will post Pics of color change . Should be done next week sometime . Stopped up yesterday and they had already started the wet sanding.
I'm kinda excited

 

One or the other. It's a storage compartment for cars without the NAV option; with NAV yes that's where it rises from.

 

Huh So no matter what I need to start w/ the stock center just so I don't have that huge gap
Thanks
