Ok well, I've done quite a bit of searching to answer my question, but I am still unclear.

Is it possible to hook up my ipod to my non-nav '07 35x where I can use the steering wheel controls, get my play lists and such to the dash LCD, and play videos while driving?

If so, what connection do you recommend? I just got my 35, and im used to being able to swap out my headunit and install some high quality audio fairly easily. Obviously I can't do exactly that with this car, but I would like pretty good ipod functionaliy if possible.

As an aside, I plan on installing a sub (ive got the bose pkg) using an LOC, are there any better options I should know about?

Thanks guys.

 

The 2007's don't have the USB iPod connector so you can't integrate an iPod or iPhone into the screen (navigation or not).

Best you can do is use some RCA cables to AUX to play some content. You will have to use your iPod or iPhone to manually control the tracks and etc.

 

I just bought a non-nav 2007 G35S and have the same problem regarding the iPod integration. There are some aftermarket units (iSimple being one) and one factory unit recommended by some on this site. The factory unit is sold by everythingG35:

I'm going to try this one that I found that seems like the latest and best:

Hate to bump this thread (I lurk a ton for info) but has anyone ever actually confirmed that Infiniti will not pull your entire '07 audio unit and install the '08+ unit with the iPod connector? It's something I'd be willing to pay for, for OEM parts.

 

Somebody successfully did a 2010 swap for the higher res LCD and from what I recall, there were significant differences in harness connectors. It required a head unit change too. I doubt factory service will be able to do it.

 

Ive been researching a way to do iod integration for the 2007 models and the closest thing I can come up with is this: http://www.pac-audio.com/productDeta...&CategoryID=36

A lot of money to get it just to see if it will work.

 

Yeah unfortunately that isn't the full blown integration from the later model cars, where the info displays on the screen, etc.

I guess I'll just have to wait until I get a new car one day. Paid mine off and I love not having a car payment.

 

Even the Crutchfield spec page for the audio adapter misspelled our car's make! Grrr Sorry, couldn't help it.

 

I used this integration on a previous car and worked perfectly. I noticed they support Nissan / Infinity, might be worth giving their customer service a buzz to see if it's compatible. Great customer service if I remember well.

Sorry to keep , but I think I'm coming down with a new pet peeve.
