Do you need the Pac-1 thing to make the whole thing work? Or is like an extra option just for the purpose of retaining the stock Bose amplifier?

Pac-1 is only to retain the stock bose amp. If you use an afternarket amp you wont need it. But an amp is necessary whichever route you go.

hey quick question if I were to buy the bezel without the buttons would my original U.S factory buttons fit because I found a JDM bezel with just the trim for cheaper than with the buttons … thank you

@FirstTimersChannel

3 жыл бұрын

I thought the same as you but unfortunately it won't work like that. The US factory buttons are fused onto the face plate along with the face of the stock stereo. On the JDM it can be removed so that's how they differ. You'll know what I'm talking about as soon as you remove the stock stereo.

My G35 has a black ground and a black with stripe ground . I connected them both together to stereo harness but get hissing noise when audio on , do one of those wires need to ground to car chasis?

@FirstTimersChannel

3 жыл бұрын

Hi there and thanks for commenting! Black wires typically are ground so I'm assuming connecting them together should be fine. If possible try connecting them to separate chassis points to see if it cancels out the hissing noise you hear. I'm afraid we are not stereo professionals and can only help to the best of our knowledge or at least what we would try doing to diagnose the issue. Another thing I would do is check each speaker connection to make sure there are no breaks in the wires and that they have a clean connection to each other. If you have an aftermarket amplifier connected, possibly your gain might be too high. Hope these suggestions help you!

Do you have the link to the head unit bezel? I’ll be deleting the factory nav so I’m not sure if it makes a difference

Hey there and thanks for commenting. We purchased the JDM double din bezel from eBay. Did a quick search and unfortunately it seems there aren't any available at the moment. The factory nav has it's own buttons so if you are doing away with that, the double din we are using in this video should be fine for you. Where your nav unit sits is a storage compartment on my G35. Prices may vary for the jdm double din because it's used. I've seen them go from $150- $200ish but in my opinion... WORTH EVERY PENNY! Keep an eye out on eBay, I'm sure they can be found elsewhere but for more $ and parts sold separately (ex. climate control unit and double din surround).

Hey thanks for your comment! It means a lot that people are enjoying our content. To answer your question, if you have the 03-04 model G35, the dash trim is all one piece including the ac vents. On the 05+ it isn't this way. If you have an 05+ you can ditch the navi controls and keep your top storage bin like how I have it on this video. Here is a pic for example on the 03-04 models => bit.ly/3toArLG . You can clearly tell the difference between this and the one we use on this episode. Hope this helps!

@@Vuelodeagila Okay just looked at the instructions for the PAC unit. The green/red wire is for the factory Bose amplifier. You should have the harness included in the kit to just plug it in. It goes from "Factory Amplifier" => supplied harness => PAC Unit. That's why I don't remember ever splicing or soldering that wire. The only wires I remember having to connect together were the speaker wires, power, ground, and amp/antenna (blue/white wire). These connect to the other side of the PAC unit and into the aftermarket stereo headunit. Hope that helps!

Does the Metra antenna work with the JDM kit?

Sorry can please clarify for me? The antenna has nothing to do with the dash kits. I'm a little confused at what you're asking.

@Zigarren König Agreed! I love Alpine myself. Had an Alpine stereo in every car I've owned :) . Stereo installs are fun, especially when it's done it's always a noticeable upgrade to stock. Not like engine mods all the time lol.

Hi, I just bought a 05 G35 that has this exact sound system installed. However, when I bump up the music, the bass quality is terrible. If I drive with my windows down, I can barely hear the music. Do you think the previous owner did something wrong when he installed this? There is no way that Bose speakers are that bad.. Please help me if you know anything

Hey there, yeah it sounds like the wires aren't connected properly at the back of the stereo or the speakers may be blown. It should be a significant improvement over the stock stereo. I would check the speaker connections at the back of the stereo. If they aren't soldered, I would solder the connections.

I'm so cunfussed after watching this 😔

You must be referring to the blue wire. At first we thought since we were using the stock amp, that we didnt need to wire in the blue wire. We then realized the blue wire is meant for powering amps, even the stock one. So in the end just wanted to clarify with our viewers to make sure to wire it in. We're not pros but love to figure stuff out on our own so I can see why it gets confusing 😅. Thanks for the kind words, if you get stuck when you're working on yours, feel free to comment and we'll help the best way we can! 👍

Did your climate control still work, ive seen people say theirs don’t work because their missing certain trim

@FirstTimersChannel

Climate controls all work perfectly. The JDM trim does not come with the JDM climate controls so I'm a little confused as to what you heard/read. Can you elaborate a little more? The climate control plugs directly into the factory harness so there is no custom work here. All plug and play.

@@FirstTimersChannel yea, sorry I was a little vague, I heard the with the jdm trim kit, they lost access to ac and heat, apparently there is something you have to purchase to make it work, I’m not sure what it’s called, if you didn’t need it then I guess it works

@@kanseiblu6512 Hmm... I can't see why honestly. I ordered like for like. I have the dual climate control system so I ordered the JDM trim piece and dual climate controls to match. There is a version without the dual climate controls so perhaps the people you heard of having issues may have purchased the incorrect version? I'm only guessing. Or perhaps the wrong year? Keep in mind the AC controls with the dial knob only came out in 2005+ G35's in the US. 03-04 models came with an up/down arrow button. Not sure if the harness may be different for those models. Hopefully somebody with more knowledge about G35's can answer that for you.

@@kanseiblu6512 Thanks for the sub! If you're retaining the stock Bose amp, all you'll need is the PAC unit linked in the description. The connections there will splice into the in dash radio harness that's included with the stereo. Unfortunately, prices for the JDM face plate and buttons may vary as I've seen on eBay. The better the condition the pricier it gets but in my opinion, totally worth the price for a clean look. You'll have to shop around for that but I got mine off eBay. Another thing to note, the way mine is setup will not retain the factory steering wheel controls. If you want that, you'll need this => www.crutchfield.com/p_794ADSMSW/iDatalink-Maestro-SW-Steering-Wheel-Control-Adapter.html For AM/FM to work you will need this => www.ebay.com/itm/40-NI10-Antenna-Adapter-For-Infiniti-Nissan-to-install-radio-stereo-/252663668042?_trksid=p2385738.m4383.l4275.c10 Both of those devices I did not install on my car as I have since switched out to a Momo steering wheel and never listen to the radio. But that should complete your install successfully. Hope that helps!
