Kenwood DDX370 Install DIY!!

Shadezz · 06-22-2013, 08:43 PM

Well I purchased and installed a "Cost Effective Touch Screen" as I had last years DDX319 in my old car. For $249.00 I think its a very cheap way to enhance the interior of the Z....Also I like that its DDX370 model!!

Have yet to install the Cheap Camera I got for free with purchase, but I was thinking of running it to front of the car or in the engine bay and be able to switch to it if I'm parking to see the curb or have a quick cool view of the engine bay at any time....Thoughts?

1. Kenwood DDX370 (249.00)
2. Metra 70-7553 Nissan Wiring Harness (13.00)
3. Metra Ant Adapter 40-NI12 (7.99)
4. Metra DDIN Bezel Kit 99-7607B (29.99)
5. Beers.....(6.99)

Total Install Time: 3 Hours

And yes the GTR Red Start Button is In!!!

Good job! Love all the photos. I actually just got mine in last night too along with the red start button. Just have to finish the amp and speaker wiring tomorrow.

Can this unit display iphone Maps app?

+1 for you sir, I need to do this to my car. As for the camera up front I was thinking the same thing a little bit ago, I have one in the rear of my car but one up front would be nice.

Yes, I've had a DNX9990 in the closet for a couple months while I got ready to do this but I'm also running wires for four speakers, amp, AXXESS, rear cam and some Dynamat. Sounds easy in words but it has been a sweaty nightmare.

No I'm not, but you could with a adapter.....I never really used the steering wheel controls let only the blue tooth...that's why I didn't really need both. for those who want BT buy the DDX470!!

I've ran many complete systems my friend and understand the undertaking for sure.
