Thanks for the video. Have had my 04 coupe for 13 years this month. Low mileage driver mostly garaged and the car is as solid as anything new on the market so why pay50k for a new interior Time to upgrade some of the tech and thanks to your video I am more confident in tackling that myself. Tons of how tos on g35driver as well but always good to see videos. Yours was really helpful. Thanks bud! Hope you are enjoying the upgrade.

Can you tell me where exactly you trimmed on the aftermarket hvac buttons? I’m having a hard time getting mine to sit properly on the OEM bezel

@JRsGarage

3 жыл бұрын

I can't say exactly where the trim was made. I do remember trimming the black plastic on the back of the aftermarket heater controls to make it fit. If you line it up from the back you should be able to see where you need to cut in order to move the controls left or right so that they line up with the holes in the bezel.

Thanks

hey so i bought a dual double din and there isnt a harness with the pre amp outs,,?? i bought the same metra wire adapter u linked but nothing on the stereo side has any way to plug in the pre amp cables.. ? is it the head unit i got or did u buy something to use those big plugs

@JRsGarage

4 жыл бұрын

Must be the head unit you got. Has to have preamp outs to use that adapter harness. If you don't have pre amp outs on your head unit you'll have to wire around the stock Bose amp. I'm assuming you also have the Infiniti Bose system like mine.

Easiest to run two wires back to the amp and connect there as both right and left rear door will be available there. Here are the high side wire colors for the Bose Amp. Also see this post.... good info and pics at the bottom of the page: g35driver.com/forums/audio-video-electronics/427975-bypassing-bose-amplifier-03-04-g35.html The wire colors out from the amp are as follows: driver door/tweeter: g + r - passenger door/tweet: gy + y - rear driver: g/y + b/y - rear pass: br+ b - driver woof: l/y + w/g - pass woof: l/r + l/w - ------------------------------------------------------ Legend: b= black blue = l brown/tan = br light green = lg green = g dark green = dg grey = gy orange = or pink = p purple = pu red = r white = w yellow = y
